WASHINGTON. July i2.-Consider.

work OF state department officials

turn here a. the end OF the week.
The situation was described in Off.
cial quarters as critical. and there
was no concealment OF the fact that
relations between Germany and the
United States had become more
strained than al any time in their
history.
High officials said the policy OF the
American government would be care

meet the situation firmly. the utmost
deliberation was required This in
formation was given out In order that
delay Of possibly a week or more in
preparing ar answer might not be

United States intended in any way TO

In the two notes already sent to
Berlin

There was much informal discussion
among officials OF the contents OF tne
German reply. The trend OF their
opinions was that the evasion Of the
American argument In the German
notes had narrowed the neId OF nego-
tiation 80 that the next communica-

Something much more SPECIFIC ana
positive than has yet been said in the
notes which the United States mas
sent since the sumharine war zone
was declared nov expected.
Officials gave the impression that

SCHOOLS OF COUNTY CLOSE.
Interesting Programmes Carried Out
at Various Schools.

The session of the Govan graded
school came to an end Friday even
ing, May 2S. 1t was one of the most
successful in many years. The aver

Thursday evening the primary pu-
pills opened by singing My Country
'Tis of Thee" after which they be-
gan their exercises, the parts per-
formed by the children being inter-
esting and enjoyed by a large num-
ber of people. After the exercises

lent talk to the patrons and pupils IN
regard to educational duties. DR.. l..

which ne was called on by Mr.. Kirk
lev to deliver the prizes. Mae Eu-

advancement in music, Edwin Gun
nels won the prize, which was given
bv Miss Ellen Lewis, for neatness,

will leave Bamberg at $40 p. m. ar
irving at Ehrhardt at GAO p. m
Instead OF laying over in Bambers
over night, the train will return to
Ehrhardt. This new schedule Will
provide a greater convenience to pas
sengers. Persons in Ehrhardt and
vicinity wishing to come to Bam-
berg can arrive here at II o'clock
and remain until $40, whereas here
tofore they could remain here only
a little more than an hour, and the
old schedule was found to be very
inconvenient for parties desiring to
transact much business in this city.
Bamberg people wishing to visit
Ehrhardt can now leave here at
1:2e, and returning arrive at .
o'clock.
