SUFFERING OF NEUTRAL SHIPS ISOLATED CASES

If neutral ships in recent months have
 suffered through the German submarine
 warfare, owing to mistakes in identifica- ton, if Is a question only of quite iso-
 lated and exceptional cases, which can be attributed to the British government s abuse of flags. together with the sns- picious or culpable behavior of the mas ters of the ships.
 ''rhe German government in all cases which it has been shown by it's inves- tigations that a neutral ship, not itself
 at fault. was damaged by German sub
 marines or aviators, has expressed regret
 over the unfortunate accident and if jus tifed by conditions. has offered indemnifi- cation.
 "The cases of the Cushing and the Gulfight will be treated on the same principles An investigation of both cases is in progress, the result of which will presently be communicated to the embassy. The investigation can, if nec- essary, be supplemented by an inter- national call on the international com mission of inquiry provided by ar ticle III of The Hague agreement of nnfobar 1Q07

In it's reply the German government declares that it is not it's intention to sub init neutral ships in the war zone. which are guilty of no hostil acts to attacks by submarine or aeroplanes. that it is Investigating the circumstances in con nection with the attacks on the Ameri- can steamers Cushing and Gulflight, and that in all cases where neutral vessels. through no fault of their own, have been damaged, Germany will pay indemnif- cation
 The reply urges that in the case of the Lusitania. which Germany alleges was armed and carried large stores of war munitions, it was acting in justified self defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at it's disposition to protect the lives of it's soldiers by destroying ammu- milton intended for the enemy
 The German government recalls the proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London, de- signed to end the submarine warfare, and the shutting out of food supplies from Germany which it declares failed of their purpose, because of the refusal of the British government to agree to them. The text of the German note was made public today
 Berlin. May 30-(Nia London, May 3l. 1 :0S a. m.)-The following is the text O the German note:
 "The undersigned has the honor to sub init to Amba ssador Gerard the following answer to the communication of May b. regarding the injury to American interests through German submarine warfare.
 'The imperial government has subject ed the communication of the American government to thorough investigation. II entertains also a keen wish to cooper ate in frank and friendly way in clear ing up possible misunderstanding which may have arisen in the relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the American government.
 '.Regarding, firstly, the cases of the American steamers Cushing and Gulflight. The American embassy has already been informed that the German government has no intention of submitting neutral ships in the war zone, which are guilty of no hostile acts to attacks, by sub marine or submarines or avators. On the contrary. the German forces have re- peatedly been instructed most specifically to avoid attacks on such ships.

Countinn Pulse Beats.

1T is strange how few people know
what their normal pulse is" said
physician. They know the average
pulse is about seventy, and imagine
that they are well or otherwise as their
pulse approaches or departs from this
standard. 1t is true that an average
of all pulses would give a result of
about seventy beats. but in no other
physical popularity is there such
wide individual variation.
Il had two students in my Office at
the same time. both very strong and
remarkably healthy young men. The
normal pulse of one was fOrty-seven
and the other ninety-three. This differ
ence is unusual. few pulses falling be
low sixty or rising above eighty in a
healthy subject, but an unusually slow
or rapid pulse is no indication what
ever of disease. as is popularity sup
posed TO be the case.
Most people overestimate their pulse.
as they often count its beats when
talBing about the matter. and it is a
fact well known TO physicians that the
excitement of conversation will quick

The best time TO arrive ct the true nor

SUNDAY BIG DAY.
At Opera House and Deutsche Hall -
DR.. Hexamer of Philadelphia Gives
Patriotic Address and Pleased Large
Crowd.

Large crowds began early to file
into the Opera house on Sunday af-
ternOon and long before the opening
of the program the place was filled to
OVERLOOKING After music by the
orchestra and the singing of America,
| Mayor John Ringle announced the
purpose of the gathering, and fol-
| lowing a number by the Wausau
Liederkranz, the Mayor introduced
DR.. c. J. Hexamer. The DR.. speak
ing in German, took his hearers away
back into the early days of Amer
lean history. His purpose being to
stimulate in the hearts of his fellow
countrymen of German birth a live
virile patriotism. And he did this
by pointing out to them how in the
dark days of our country their fore
fathers had fought and died for the
liberties which we now enjoy. How
the German immigrant had been. true
to his adopted country through times
of peace and war. He called to their
mind the names of the German
patriots whose names will ever live,
in American history. He pointed
out to them that the German farmer,
business man, mechanic and scientist
were noted for the thorough work
they had and were doing in this cOun-
try He named the contributions of
German culture which were making
American life happier and pleasanter;
of the German song, music, Christ
mas, of his love for home and sOciabil-
ity.
He said they need not take any
stock in the suggestion of some who
are now advising them 'tO get out"
He said we need not fear. the Ger
man farmer in the United States
oWne the largest part of the United
States. Space will not permit US in
giving all that we should like to of
the address. 1t was remarkable in
that their was no reference to the
burning questions of the day and
over which 50 much i'll feeling has
come into our midst.
At o'clock in the evening the
members of the German-American
Alliance had arranged for reception
and social time at the d. A. u. hall
There was large gathering, present
among them many of our prominent
business men. 1t was a great event,
especially for our German friends
and will be long remembered.
