Repeats It's Demands
For Pay and Promise

such a step can be taken some guar
antee must be given that in the
interim of discussion the lives Of
American citizens will not be jeop-
ardized and that the United States
will not be required to yield any Of
its rights while the discussion is un-
der way.
1t is tine repetition of attacks on
American vessels or lives which the
president believes must be prevented
by an assertion of the rights Of the
United States and the attainment Of
Germany's acquiescence in that point
of view is necessary before diplomatic
negotiations On the subject can con-
tinue.
The note cabled to Germany, it was
authoritatively stated, leaves room in
many respects for friendly reply, but
contains firm insistence on the prin-
ciples expressed in the American
notes of February 10 and May Is.
The president has requested that
detailed forecasts of the note be not
printed in advance of the publication
of the official text.
Would Prevent War.
'I believe you are wrong and that
1 can convince you of it," Mr.. Bryan
is quoted as having said with a smile
in his farewell interview with the
president today. He told Mr.. Wilson
he believed he could be of service in
the country by securing an expression
of the peaceful desires of TIE nation
and help to prevent war.
Later, when Mr.. Bryan's statement
appeared, comment in hign official
quarters still was friendly toward Mr..
Bryan personally, but sharp issue was
taken with his Interpretation of what
the note to Germany actually con-
tanned 1t was declared by some off,
Gals famAlar Win une contents or
the document that it would not neces-
sarily lead to war, and that sudh a
contingency could arise only If there
was repetition of attacks on Ameri-
can lives and vessels. 1t was indicated
that failure to secure reparation for,
the Lusitania tragedy might mean
severance of diplomatic relations but
that fostflities would be precipitated
only by warlike acts On the part of
Germany.
president Wilson tonight took
long automobile ride with members
of his family. He returned to the
White House after II o'clock, much
refreshed by Ghe outing.

Spartanburg, June 9.--ValIey Tay-
lor, age 9, and Evelyn Taylor, age 6,
were buried alive and smothered to
death beneath an avalanche of dirt
from the side of deep 3ulIey near the
home of their father, Ed Taylor, of the
Enoree section in Laurens county tdis
afternoon. The two little girls were
playing along the edge of the gulley,
which is ar old abandoned road wash
ed by rains to a depth Of about fifteen
feet. 1t is believed that they slipped
over the edge, dislodging quantity
of dirt, which fell upon them. They
were buried to depth Of about four
feet, and were dead when finally un-
covered with shovels. Evelyn's left
leg was broken. The news of the
tragedy was brought to the mother of
the girls, who was hoeing cotton in
the field by Baxton. their 4-year-oId

them during the afternoon. About 6

war over a citizens tights and yet
relieve the citizen of all obligations to
consider his nations welfare. I do
not know just how far the president
can legally go in actually preventing
Americans from travelling on belli-
gerent ships, but 1 believe the gov
ernment Should go as far as it can,
and that in case of doubt it should
give the benefit of the doubt to the
government.
"But even if the government could
not legally prevent citizens from
travelling on belligerent ships, it
could, and in my judgment should,
earnestly advise American citizens
not to risk themselves or the peace of
their country, and l have no doubt
that these warnings would be needed.
president Taft advised Americans
to leave Mexico when insurrection
broke out there and President Wilson
has repeated the advice This advice
in my judgment, was eminently wise
and 1 think the same curse should
be followed in regard to warning Am
ericans to keep off vessels subject to
attack.
81 think, too, that American passen-
ger ships should be prohibited from
carrying ammunition. The lives of
passengers ought not to be endanger-
ed by cargoes of ammunition whether
that danger comes from possible ex-
plosions within or from possible at
tacks from without. Passengers and
ammunition should not travel to-
gether. The attempt to prevent Am
erican citizans from incurring these
risks is entirely consistent with the
effort which our government is MAX
ing to prevent attacks from subma-
rines.
"1ce use of one remedy does not
exclude the use of the other. The
most familiar illustration is to be
found in the action taken by munici-
pal authorities during a riot. 1t is
u duty of the mayor 70 suppress the
mob sand to prevent violence, but he
does not hesitate to warn citizens to
keep off the streets during the riots
He does not question tceir right to
use the streets but for their own pro-
lection and in the interest Of order,
he warns them not to incur the risks
involved in going upon the streets
when men are shooting at each otter.
"The president does not feel justi-
fed in taking the action above sug-
gested; that is, he does not feel JUS
titled, first, in suggesting the submis-
sion of the controversy to investiga-
ton, or second, in warning the peo-
pie not to incur the extra hazards in
travelling on .belligerent ships or on
ships carrying ammunition. And he
may be right in tie position he has
taken, but as a private citizen, am
free to urge both of these PROPOSE
tions and to call public attention to
these remedies in the hope Of secur-
ing such an expression of public SEN
timent as will support the president
in employing these remedies if, in the
future, he finds it consistent with his
sense of duty to favor them"

FRANK AGAIN WINS.

inning contest-the Outlaws VS..
Frank and the umpire. Frank
and her ally took the game four
to three. At first it seemed that
Fitzgerald was about to gain
vengeance for several defeats at
the hands of this fast country
team as she scored two in the
first. This hope was blasted in
the third when, by two safe raps
and two inexcusable errors, the
visitors counted three times. In
the fourth Barfeld hit one and
crossed with the tying run on
Jones's hit, but as Harris held
them scoreless the rest of the
game this went for naught.
Frank scored once more in the
seventh when bud Hudson broke
up the game by driving one
over Barfeld's head and scoring
w. Cakes. In the ninth the Out
laws used two pinch hitters but
failed to score.
