Secretary's Letter OF Resignation.
My dear Mr.. President:
1t is with regret that I have
reached the conclusion that / should
return to you the commission of
secretary of state with which YOU
honored me at the beginning of your
administration.
Obedient to your sense of duty
and actuated by the highest motives,
you have prepared for transmission
TO the German government a note in
which / cannot join without violat.
ing what I deem TO be an obligation
to my country, and the issue in
volved is of such moment that to
remain a member of the cabinet
would be as unfair to you as it
would be to the cause which is near
est my heart, namely, the prevention
of war.
/, therefore, respectfully tender
my resignation, to take effect when
the note is sent, unless you prefer
an earlier hour. Alike DESTROYS of
reaching a peaceful solution of the
problems arising out of the use of
submarines against merchantmen. we
find ourselves differing irreconcil-
ably as to the methods which should
be employed.
1t falls to your lot to speak Off
cially for the nation; | consider it
to be none the less my duty to en-.
deavor as private citizen to pro-
mote the end which you have in
view by means which you do not
feel at liberty to use.
In severing the intimate and
pleasant relations which have ex-
| listed between us during the past two
| years, permit me to acknowledge the
| profound satisfaction which it has
| given me TO be associated with you
in the important work which has
| come before the state department.
and to thank you for the courtesies
extended.
With the heartiest good wishes
for your personal welfare and fol
the success of your administration

Very truly yours,

New Industrial Board.
(Rutland Hcrald.)

Apparently Gov. Gates has followed
personal lines in the announced make
up of the board to which the admin
istration of the Vermont workmen s
compensation act is entrusted.
Chairman Robert w. Simonds was
somdwhat actively interested in the
passage of the law and was indeed an
admitted leader of the upper house. His
selection, too, had the force of very
close legislative understanding between
the executive and the senator.
Sandy A. Daniels of Brattleboro
is the - original Gates man. of Wind
ham county. If he were not such an
agreeable and popular personality, the
appointment would be criticised as
frankly political. Mr.. Daniels is not
however, entirely without qualifica-
tions for the place, having had eonsid-
cradle experience in the insurance
business and being an excellent judge
of human nature.
The appointment of Fred S. Pease of
| Burlington may have been made for
business reasons, and certainly a sound
commercial judgment would be invalu-
| able to the newly organized commits
sion. No doubt Mr.. Pease will also be
acceptable to the employees of the state
whose money is directly concerned
The completed board, therefore, con
sists of a lawyer, an insurance agent
and a merchant, no attempt apparently
having been made to provide direct rep

My dear Mr.. Bryan:

My dear Mr.. Bryan:
| accept your resignation only
because you insist upon its accept
ance; and | accept it with more
than deep regret, with q feeling of
personal sorrow. Our two years of
close association have been very de-
ightful to me. Our judgments have
accorded in practically every mat
ter of official duty and of public
policy until now your support of the
work and purposes of the admins
tration has been generous and loyal
beyond praise; your devotion to the
duties of your great Office and your

offered has been afr example to the

rated in the object we seek, but only
in the method by which we seek it.

UNITED STATES PREPARED FOR WAR
New Guns Outrank Those of Any
Nation-Lessons Are Taken From
Vera Cruz and European War.
Aviation Being Developed.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Dan
iels Sunday night made public letter
he has written to President Garfield of
Williams college, detailing the work
in the navy during the past two years.
Mr.. Daniels wrote in reply to Mr.. Gar
fields request for material to meet
statements that the United States is
unprepared for military emergencies.
Excerpts from the letter follow:
"There are now in active service,
fully commissioned, 225 vessels of all
characters, which is 36 more than
were fully commissioned when | be-
came secretary. There are also l01
vessels of various types, in reserve and
in ordinary and uncommissioned, cap
able of rendering service in war. We
have under construction and authorized
II vessels (nine dreadnaughts, 20 de-
stroyers, 38 submarines and seven aux
iliaries) as compared with 81 vessels
five dreadnaughts, IA destroyers, 20
submarines, three gunboats and nine
auxiliaries) which were under con-
struction March /, 1918.
"All vessels in active service and
in reserve are supplied with munitions
of war. Within the last two years
the quantity of all has been steadily
and greatly increased. For example,
we have increased the number Of
mines on hand and in process Of manu-
facture by 244 per cent and torpedoes
by 80 per cent. By the enlargement
of the naval powder factory we shall
soon be able almost to double its
former capacity, and like enlargement
of the torpedo works and the equip
ment of plant to construct mines will
still further increase the quantity Of
such stock, and the possession of these
plants in times Of emergency will en-
able the department to be in better
state Of preparedness as regards the
supply of ammunition than ever be-
fore.
"The personnel of the navy is al
present composed of 1855 line, staff
and warrant officers and So, enlist
ed men.
"For many years officers have writ
ten and talked about the formation Of
advance base material and the practice
of exercising landing parties Of sea
men and marines, but never until Jan
uary last year was the navy thus ex
ercized. Then, under instructions
from the department, Admiral Badge,
carried out comprehensive exercise,
in which the professional advantages
gained by officers and men were in
estimable.

Shasta Limited Hits Automobile;
Kills -Four Children, Injuries Driver

Creswell, Or. = The northbound
Shasta Limited Of the Southern Pacific
company Sunday struck an automobile
driven by F. E. Sly in front Of his
home here, smashed it to fragments
and killed four small children who oc-
cupied the tonneau, besides injuring
Mr.. Sly SO badly that it is thought he
cannot recover.
The dead: Beulah Morss, aged IL;
George Robinette, aged 8; Vincent
Treanor, aged 8; Dorothy Treanor,
aged 6.
Mr.. Sly is an elderly man. He had
just brought his automobile from the
garage and alighted to open the gate
leading to the Southern Pacific track,
intending to cross the Pacific High
way, when the four children came
along on their way to Sunday school,.
They were invited to ride and clamb-
cred into the car. 1t was apparent
that neither they nor Mr.. Sly saw or
heard the approaching train, for Mr..
Sly got in and ran the automobile onto
the track directly in front of it.
The Mortified witnesses heard q
crash and saw the automobile hurled
high in the air and fall at one side of
the track. The train sped on without
stopping, its engnie crew unconscious
of what had happened.

TO Railroads in Grain Are
Claimed by Farmers To Be Great

Chicago-Statistics of operating ex-
pense and freight revenue on four
leading Western railroads were pre-
sented before W. M. Daniels, Inter-
state Commerce commissioner, to sup
port the objections of the National
Council Farmers Cooperative associa-
tion to proposed advance of l cent a
hundred pounds in the grain and grain
product freight rates, which are among
the increases asked by Al Western
railroad systems on certain conmodi-
ties.
The tabulated figures were compiled
by Jean Paul Muller, an expert rate
case statitician, formerly connected
with the statistical department of the
Interstate commission.
After reviewing in detail the meth
DDS he used in assembling the figures
showing gross profit and operating ex-
penses of railroads, Mr.. Muller said:
''It is my opinion that grain traffic
is more profitable to these four car
riers, the Rock Island, the Santa Fe,
the Burlington and the st. Paul roads,
than the average of all other traffic
carried by them"
His deductions were made from re-
ports and statistics furnished him by
the railroad officials.
In the review of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific operating expenses
and revenue, Mr.. Muller declared.
"The total road cost divided by the
reported number of loaded freight car
miles, with an allowance for the cost
of empty return haul-figured at 40
per cent of the loaded-gives road
movement cost per loaded car per mile
of So. 28 cents.

pankl Expects Long War.

Geneva-General Dankl, of the Aus
trian army, is of the opinion that the
war will not come to an end soon. This
Austrian commander, who has been
active in defending the Carpathian
passes against the Russians, expressed
this opinion to Major Tanner, of the
Swiss army, who is also correspondent
of the Basel Nachrichten. He declared
the war would last for long time, and
said he could not fix even an approxi-
mate date for its end. He said also
that the Swiss government had pre-
served its neutrality splendidly.

Un-neutraIity Of Embargo Is Re-
asserted by Chief Executive.
NO RIGHT SURRENDERED BHuG[RfNTS
Reply Assumes Won Bernstorff To Be
Laboring UndeH "Certain False
Impressions Pens
Note and Bryan Signs 1t.

Washington, D. C. = The United
States government replied Thursday tt
the recent memorandum in which
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, declared that ''if the Ameri-
can people desire to observe true neu-
trality, they will find means to STOP
the exclusive importation Of arms to
one side, or at least to use this export
trade as a means to uphold the legiti-
mate trade with Germany, especially
the trade in foodstuffs. :"
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the State department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorff is sus-
ceptible of being construed as impugn-
ing the good faith of the United
States in the performance of its duties
as neutral" the note "takes it for
granted that no such implication was
intended" and suggests that evidently
the German ambassador sis laboring
under certain false impressions.
1t is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with
any one of the belligerents ''cannot
wisely be made subject of discussion
with third government, F." such cor
respondence between the United States
and the allies as has been published
shows "the steadfast refusal" of the
government ito acknowledge the right
of any belligerent to alter the accept
ed rules of war at sea insofar as they
affect the rights and interests of neu-
trails"
The attitude of the United States on
the question of expectations of arms
is restated-namely, that to place any
embargo on arms during the progress
of war would be "a direct violation
of the neutrality Of the United
States" The note refers to the spirit
of friendship which the United States
desires always to manifest toward Ger
many and its people, and concludes
with the declaration that the neutral
ity of the United States is founded
upon the firm basis of conscience and
good will"

Apples To Be Released.

London-American Shippers are COM
planning vigorously to the American
embassy because they are compelled
under the regulations of the British to
bear the expense incident to delays in
the examination of cargoes of ships
detained at Kirkwall and other British
ports. Charges for loading and un-
loading cargoes and expenses incurred
in the examination of suspected goods
are assessed against the owners of the
cargoes. The procurator general gave
assurances that efforts would be made
to hasten release of American apples.

Mohair Prices on Down Grade,

The course of the mohair market, as
shown by the pool sales already held in
Oregon, is downward. The first pool
sale of the year, small one at
Walker ten days ago, was at S2a cents.
Then, on Monday, the Eddyville pool
of %, 900 pounds brought S2A cents.
Later the pool at Riddle was sold and
it brought S1a cents. The Riddle pool
was bought by Southern Oregon
dealer. Mohair dealers regard the
market as entirely speculative. In
view of the slack condition of the
plush and dress goods trade many of
them consider the present prices un-
warranted.

HOW TO STOP DANDRUFF
AND LOSS OF HAIR

Here is simple, inexpensive treat
ment that will almost always stop
dandruff and scalp itching, and keep
the hair thick, live and lustrous: At
night, spread the hair apart and rub a
little resinol ointment into the scalp
gently, with the tip of the finger. Re-
peat this until the whole scalp has
been treated. Next morning shampoo
thoroughly with resinol soap and hot

well into the scalp. Rinse with grad
ually cooler water, the last water be-
ing cold. Resinol ointment and resinol
