NOTE MAY Be LAST
WARNING TO BERLIN
Majority Of Cabinet Said to Fa-
VOr Final Word.

Washington, July 21.-President
Wilson and the cabinet discussed for
two hours three tentative drafts of
the proposed reply to the latest Ger
man note, and agreed upon certain
sections of the document
The question still to be decided is
whether paragraph shall be added
warning Germany for the last time
that unless she yields to the de-
mands Of this government the United
States will adopt a more vigorous
course than she has heretofore en-
ployed. The alternative is to with
hold this declaration of purpose I'M
til the next communication.
The action contemplated is the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
with Germany. If this were done,
Ambassador Gerard would be re-
called and Ambassador Bernstorff
would be provided with safe passage
to Germany. This state of affairs
would continue until Germany had
given the necessary assurances that
American lives and property would
be safeguarded under the recognized
rules of international law.

The three thousand people within
the city limits who are not receiving
mail delivery service by the city car
riers have only themselves or their
neighbors to blame. Before routes
can be established for the carriers the
walks and streets must pass the inspec-
tion Of the department inspectors and
this inspection is no mere formality.
Any considerable stretches where there
are no walks along the streets the car
riers must travel to make their de-
Iveries will bar a neighborhood abso-
lutely from free delivery until these
walks are built. The department also
insists on having the number of every
house prominently displayed. Even if
this office is given additional carriers
they cannot be put on service on routes
in new territory until the conditions
imposed by the department are com
piled, with. The only way that some
neighborhoods can get the free deliv-
cry service is to have some of the
property owners forced to build walks
by the city under new sidewalk or
dinance and the sooner the residents
of these neighborhoods who want free
delivery set about having such an ordi-
nance passed the sooner they will
get it.

in Detroit on complaint of Clarence
L. Ayers, president of the Northern
Assurance co lpany of Michigan, who
charges exto- con.
Matson came to Detroit and, it is
charged, communicated with Ayers,
advising him that he had material
for articles which would be published
in the monthly magazine, and sug-
gested that it would be well for Ayers
to call and see him. 1t is said that
after Ayers reached the hotel room
where Nelson had arranged to meet
him, Matson told him several stories
and then asked for $4,000 for their
suppression. Ayers had taken $4,000
in marked bills with him and he at
once handed over three 81, 900 bills to
the indianapolis publisher, who placed
them in his pocket, after Ayers sug-
gested that the $500 due him as
change be returned to him. Matson
then prepared to leave the room.
AS he stepped into the hallway he
was confronted by Detective Golden.
He began to tremble like a leaf, &C.
cording to the officer, and pulling the
money from his pocket offered it to
the officer.
Take it." was the only comment
he made, according to the detective.

The effort to start farm land banks
and societies for loaning money on
farmlands is meeting with some sue
cess. Tt is generally admitted that
young men who would like to buy
farms often encounter considerable diff
fculty in getting money from existing
agencies. This is partly because farm
loans need to be watched very care
fully. 1t is commonly possible to allow
the value of the security to depreciate
unless the land and implements are
Kept up. The average city bank is not
anxious for this class of security. Tt is
outside their regular line, and they are
little afraid of it. Consequently a
good many men who would be worthy
of credit fail to get it. If it could
come about that the farmers of a dis
trict should invest savings in such an
institution, they would furnish great
safeguard against depreciation Of the
security. 1t would be for their interest
to report to headquarters if a property
was not being kept up. They could
afford to loan more on farm right un-
der their eyes than capitalists located
At a distance would feel like letting
put1on it.

DIsARm GUN-T0TING MAYOR

Sensation at Probe.

Nashville, Tenn, July 21.-The fea.
ture In the city hall scandal hearing
was the forced retirement of Mayor
Howse from the witness stand when
he was ordered by the commission

The action was taken after Harry S.

Commissioner Bailey that Howse car.
ried couple of pistols.
The instructions to Howse stirred
the p~9ple hearing the evidence to a
high pitch of excitement. As the ex-

have no thought Of following school
teaching as a profession.
And he asks these questions:
How can we expect father and
mother with large family to raise 20
remain on the farm when the educa-
tional facilities afforded them are so
few?
Why should the people who live in
the country be satisfied with the atten-
ton their schools have received, in
the light of the fact that the majority
of the children are unable to go to the
university or other higher institutions,
when the higher institutions have been
enabled by state aid to flourishg
Is the state Of Wisconsin doing its
duty as state to educate one class of
people and neglect another, especially
when in the latter class there is far
the greater number?
With these figures he compares the
enrolment in the normal schools, num-
bering but a few thousand, and the
enrolment in the university, some
thing over six thousand.
His central board idea was one of
the ways in which he has sought to
solve the problem. He has had other
bills introduced in the legislature be-
sides this. One provides for super
visor for every fifty country schools
in the state. Another provides for a
minimum wage for country school
teachers. Still another provides ris-
ing scale in wages SO that the teacher
in the rural school will have an incen-
tive to remain in the profession
On all of these propositions he has
had opposition. The strongest being
centered against the central board idea
because it abolishes the board of nor
NAL regents and the board of univer-
sity regents, and thereby treads upon
the political toes Of some men in the
state. He has been sneered at and de-
rided by some thoughtless educators
because he himself is not university
graduate. He has been told Indirectly
that he knows nothing about education
and, therefore, is not the man to take
up the betterment of the schools
His central board plan may fail--in
this legislature. He may not get his
other ideas enacted into law at this
time. But he is governor who came
from the masses, who has set aside val
liable years Of his life when he was in
the height Of his power, physically and
mentally, and when his time could be
used to great financial advantage to
fight crusade for the boys and girls
in the country.
Many governors have had missions.
This is story of a governor whose
mission is to elevate and build up the
little red school house and start the
boy and girl in the country out in life
with a substantial education. He
knows what it means to them

What VIII Greece, ROumania
and Bulgaria Do?
vENIzELOS IS HOLDING KEY
TWO Remarkable Interviews by War
Correspondent of 5erIiner Taoe-
bIatt Paint Gloomy Picture of Fu.
ture-War With Bulgaria Believed
Certain-Greece May Be isolated.

New York, July 21.-Overshadow.
ing all else from standpoint of di.
plomacy in the present war is the
question: Will there be another Bal
kan conflict? Greece, Roumania and
Bulgaria are the three countries be.
ing constantly courted by the diplo-
mats of the European powers now at
war, one side endeavoring to coax
one or all three into the world con.
fagration while the other is doing its
very best to keep them to maintain
their neutrality. News of failure or
success of these efforts have been
scarce. The entire Balkan situa.
ton is yelled in a cloak of deep Sc
crecy and mystery.
Two Important Interviews.
The first glance into the status of
affairs at least in one of these three
Balkan nations, Greece, in its relation
to the allies and the central powers,
is given by two remarkable inter
views obtained by Dr. Leo Ledoc,
war correspondent of the Berliner
Tageblatt One of them with the
present Greek premier, Gunaris, is
published in the issue of June &c, the
other is an authorized account of an
interview between the former deputy
from Sparta, Kolumvakis, and Venize-
los, the ex-premier, who is expected
soon to resume the reins of his coun-
try's government and who is probably
the most important figure in the Bal
kans at present
Between the lines" as it were, of
both interviews, there runs a ref1ec-
ton of the tremendous efforts made
by German diplomacy to keep Greece
from entering the war as it was about
to do when Venizelos power was alb
ruptly plunged-temporarily at least
into oblivion by King Constantine,
the friend of the Hohenzollern.
Paints Gloomy Picture.
Also, there is an intimation through
out that Germany hopes that in the
event Venizelos should return to
power his policy will not be the old
one, but will incline toward the cen
trail powers. In his conversation with
his political friends he predicts a war
with Bulgaria, sees Greece isolated,
having incurred the disfavor of the
allies, and paints a gloomy picture of
the future
