WILSON WILL ASK GERMANY
FOR EXPLANATION

..
son will ask Germany to explain the
sinking of the Lusitania, with the
loss of lis American lives. He will
ask also some assurance that the in
cident will not be repeated. He will
make no threats, it was said, but will
stand firm in his insistence that no
unarmed merchant vessel carrying
non-combatants be attacked in the
future without first being visited and
searched according to the rules of
international law.
The Gulfight and Gushing Incl
dents and the death of an American
through the torpedoing of the Eng
fish liner, Falaba, all will be brought
to the Berlin governments attention.
They will be massed as collective evil
dence in support of the complaint of
German disregard for American lives
and property in the recent activities
of submarine and aircaft around the
British Isles.
Upon the manner in which Ger

was admitted, subsequent develop
ments will largely depend.
That Berlin has receded somewhat
from her early policy of drastic action
in the war zone" was indicated by
the circular transmitted to the state
department by Ambassador Gerard
Tuesday, promising strict compliance
with the rules of warfare in dealing
with enutral vessels suspected of
carrying contraband.

PROBE ROCK ISLAND ACCOUNT


What disposition was made of
$3,892,855 paid by the Rock Island
railroad to its assistant general coun-
sci, w. T. Rankin, is puzzling the in
terstate commerce commission to-
day and may lead to special investi-
CATION. The figures were brought out
in the commissions hearing by Walt
Sager, an expert accountant, who
was testifying.
Rankin's vouchers, Sager said,
were merely marked, "for disburse-
ments in the company's interests"
The testimony had to do with charges
that the Rock Island expended
$4,26S,0O0 improperly. One of the
commissioners said he had "a healthy
interest in what was done with the
money"

SIR JOHN FRENCH
MEETS HIS HEROES
Solemn Simplicity of Meet
ing Impressed Trench
Ridden Soldiers.

Frederick Palmer, who is at the
front for ,he Associated Press, sends
the followig:
General Headquarters Of the Brit
ish Army IN France, June 1S.-CNla
London, June 10, eos p. MON the
centennial anniversary Of the battle
Of Waterloo Fiell Marshal Sir John
French, the British commander, Wis
Itcd a cavalry division not long out
of the trenches, BY brigades these
who had survived the shells and as
.phyXiatiug gas of the second battle Of
l'pres were awaiting in a field near
their quarters, his coming, their khaki
melting into the green of the grass
where they lay resting and batning
themselves in the genial san Of a
mild June day.
when an automobile appeared with
the little British flag which only the
Commander-in-Chief's ear flies, they
formed a hollow square. The abSo
Lutte simplicity Of this meeting of
leader and men, and the thought Of
all they went through. made the scene
a most affecting one. The sturdy,
white-haired soldier was carrying the
customary walking stick witch every
British officer affects, with a little
rla2c Of colors of his many campaigns
On his breast. The general stood in
the center of the square before the
Tenth Husslrs, once his regl-
ment. and before the famous First
Life Guards, whose sentries in their
shiny cuirassHs and plumcd helmets
at Whitehall attracted tourists, now
tanned, trenoh-hardened warriors on
foot with no brass except the regt-
mental insignia on their shoulders.
With them We're other regiments who
had won glory at Waterloo.
Spoke Not As Leader.
Sir John did not make a speech but
spoke as soldier to soldier, h~esitating
for words at times i'm his emotion. The
men We're actually seeing their COM
mander in chief, who in the COM
plicated immensely of modern was is
only a name to them.
While wellington personally en-
C%ouraged his soldiers in a battle a
century ago, which occupied hardly
the front of a brigade in the trenches,
this was the only way a modern com
mander could make his men feel that
he was a human leader and not a ma
chine. He said:
81 knew what you were capable Of
ana you have shown that you are
equal TO any work required of a
soldier. It requires more logged
tenacity, more courage to stand for
many days i'm the trenches than to
make one brave charge.
Against that dastardly attack at
Ypres iwth a weapon against all
usaGes, when the cloud Of gas rolled
over your trenches, gasping. blinded
and in darkness you stood your
ground with a determination which
prevented any disaster"

Red Cross Sends Agents to
Report on Hundreds Who
Are Starving to Death.

SAN ANTONIO. June 19.-Follow-
ing reports received by General Devol,
head Of the Red Cross here today,
that the food supply for Monterey was
not adequate to satisfy the thousands
uf starving MeXicans, a message came
10 Gustavo Espinosa Mireles, private
secretary to CarranZa, who has been
here several days. to proceed to Nom
tCrey and investigate starvation re-
ports. He departed tonight for Nuevo
Laredo TO make an Investigation Of
that section n then proceed to Mon
terey. His reports Of conditions in
Monterey did not agree with the Red
Cross reports, in that the Carranza
reports said conditions were not as
bad as published accounts in the
American press would have them. and
that food had been rushed to Mon
terey in sufficient quantities to satisfy
the demand for several weeks.
Reports from Red Cross Agent We'll
Ter at Moncloya said that conditions in
and about that town were pitiful in the
extreme and that many OF the women
and children wer0 actually dying for
food. The two cars Of corn and beans
he took TO that point, which is 200
miles below the Texas border. has
been exhausted and two more cars
are being shipped by the Red Cross.
II required the combined force of mill
itary and civil authorities to distribute
the food and prevent riots. In smaller
outlying settlements about three hun
dred miles from the Texas border con-
ditions are wen worse, and It is said
hundreds have already died from
hunger.
Many of these settlements are far
from the railroads and in some cases
women carrying infants have walked
nearly a hundred miles to get food,
while others died on the way.

Intelligent Conservatism
Recognized

1t is a significant fact that the Central
National Bank has been selected by so
many hundreds of careful conservative
business men as a depOSitary for their
funds. This selection has not been made
in a haphaZard manner, neither has it been
made on account OF personal friend
ships or other social reasons. When peO-
pie are selecting a safe place in which to
deposit their money they push aside Senti-
mental reasons and select the bank that has
the best reputation for conservative
methods.
The Central National Banks deposi-
tors include many of the largest and most
conservative firms, banks and individuals
in the City of Tulsa, County of Tulsa, State
of Oklahoma, and adjoining states. These
facts are worthy of thoughtful Considera-
ton by every person, firm or corporation
having funds to deposit. Call at the bank
and any of our officials will be glad to go
into this matter in detail with you.

Falsehoods and misrepresentation by the page, the column, or the para graph are being sent out to the coun- try press by the publicity department of the Liquor Dealers association of Cincinnati with the assurance that all they desire is "a fair representation of their side of the prohibition ques- tion,' and that the matter sent may be relied upon absolutely. Every white ribboner should feel a personal respon- sibility in warning the editors in her community of the nature and source of these articles, and offer in their place to furnish some of the excel lent material sent out by the publicity bureau of the National w. c.

PROHIBITION EMPTIEs JAIL.

Tt has surprised even the strongest advocates of prohibition to see the eff feet that law has had in preventing crimes and misdemeanors in Greenlee county says the Clifton (Ariz) Journal
 For many years the courts of this country have been occupied with multiplicity of cases mostly resulting from booze, and the several justice courts have been kept busy sentenc- ing prisoners to jail or fining them. For years the jails have been crowd ed to capacity and the fines have often run close to $l 000 in a single justice court in one month. But conditions have changed since the first of the year The jail has been empty at some places a good share of the time; cases have been few and far between, and most of them were slight misdemean- ors."

RUSSIA ANSWERS

When vodka was on sale the aver age savings bank deposits in Russia were in the neighborhood of from $16,- 100000 a year-a year, not a month In the thirty-one days of January 1915, five months after the sale ol vodka was prohibited-in one month the former vodka drinkers put $30,000 900 into the savings banks in the em pire. They saved nearly twice as much in one month as they formerly saved in year." says Samuel c Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post. The liquor interests of the United States are telling the people that ma tional prohibition would mean the loss of $250 000,0 GOO to the treasury of our national government and are asking, who will make up this revenue?" Russia has shown the way. That na- tion is demonstrating the soundness of the policy expressed ir these words of William E. GIadstone-"Givem me a sober people and 1 will provide the revenue"

THE HOTEL BAR.

Ut is time we ceased to insult the American public by insisting that a hotel cannot be run without a bar" These are not the words of a pro- hibition fanatic but of the proprietor of fine hotel and were spoken at the annual meeting of the Northwestern Hotel Mems association. The speaker, Mir. Leimbacker of Gardner, N. D., addressed the convention on "Prohibi- tion an Economic Proposition and his vigorous handling of the subject called forth great applause. From the manager down to the bell hop he said, booze makes more trouble than any other one thing in our busi- ness. If the causes for eight out of every ten hotel failures were to be carefully analysed, liquor would be found to be the rock on which the business was shattered. It is an in disputable fact that more managers lose their positions on account of booze than through any lack of real efficiency. The same may be found throughout the crew"

MISSOURI DRYING UP.

More than half the people of Mis- souri live in territory absolutely dry. For years more than half the territory in the state has been dry. but the large city population meant that majority of the people lived in wet territory. As the result, however, of very recent dry victories 50.2 per cent in Missouri's entire population now live in saloonless territory. Between T5 and so per cent of the states ter ritory is dry. Seventy-nine of the IA counties are dry; nineteen dry with the exception of one town of more than 2,500 population. Sixteen coun- ties and the city of St Louis are the only entirely wet localities in the state.
