Little Child TO Love

When there's little ehildto love the
worlds a sweeter place,
With more OF resurrection In tie Wild
old daily race;
SO many things 10 think about you
never knew before,
And one more life 10 love, my dear
thank God for one life morel
When there's a little child 10 love the
weary way turns sweet,
With blossoms where we used 10 find
rough rocks beneath our feet;
A little child 10 love and rear and pity
and behold
Thank God for one more life, my dear
with all its dreams Of gold
When there's a little child TO love the
skies turn sweet again,
And In the sunlight OF the days we
soon forget the rain;
A little life leans on US and longs 70
al its part
Thank God for one more child 10 love
while love still rules the heart
When there's a little child TO love the
little cares seem less,
The echo Of a childhood laugh has
such way TO bless,
More human beauty fillsthe earth and
softer grows the strife
Thank God for one more life TO love
for one more little life!

IOWA FREE FROM
animal DISEASE
NO TRACE OF FOOT AND MOUTH
AlLMENT REMAINS IN THE
ENTIRE STATE.

Des Moines. June 11.--Iowa is now
practically free from the foot and
mouth disease. The two remaining
counties, Linn and Buchanan, will
probably be released June 15.
The last of the diseased herds was
killed March %. and since that time
there has been no new outbreak The
trouble first made It's appearance In
Iowa on Nov. S. Since that time forty
three, farms have been inspected and
forty-eight herds in all were killed. A
total Of 1911 animals were slaughtered
of which 1850 were cattle, 1920 were
swine and 80 sheep. The total value OF
the animals killed as appraised was
$125.000. OF this amount the state is to
pay half or S62,5OO.
The feeders who held to their cattle
all through the scare are now being re-
warded by selling on good markets. Not
a few OF them are realizing nice profits
In their sales. One instance Is that Of
Thomas Megan. Of Hardin county, who
bought up his neighbors cattle during
the scare at low prices. Not long since
he marketed twenty one loads Of steers
on the Chicago market which averaged
$3.50 per hundred Early in March he
figured that the drove would lose him
approximately $4,000 unless there was
an advance in the market. He bought
the cattle IN February at an average Of
$2 per hundred weight

expected to rest his case. This Is his

to the note following the sinking OF
the Lusitania, asks the public to "sit
In Judgment on my decision to resign

He contends that the American note
conforms to the standards OF the old
system OF force. while he is an advo-
cate of the new system OF persuasion

Prince OF Peace pleads that the
United States lead the world "out OF

Former Secretary Bryan issued this
afQtnronf a{YN0 h A. Tow
over what he termed change in the
tone of the press regarding the Amer
lean note to Germany:
i am glad to note the change In
the tone Of the press in regard to the
note to Germany from the time the
papers began TO publish forecasts
down to yesterday. the lingo editors
have been predicting that the matter
would be dealt with with great flrm-
ness; that Germany would be told
that there must be no more delay in
the acceptance of this countrys de-
mands, etc.
Instead of waiting until the note
was issued they put their own con-
struction on 1t in advance and colored
it to suit their own purposes. 1t is q
relief to find the papers now emphasiz-
ing the friendly tone of the note and
pointing out that it does not necessar-
lily mean war.
Something has been gained II the
warrior journalists at last realize that
the country does not want war, but
that on the contrary 1t will support the
president in his efforts to find peace

raised by the use of the submarine

18th day OF May, and relies in these
representations upon the principles of
humanity the universally recognized
understandings of international law
and the ancient friendship of the Ger.
man nation.
THE government Of the United
States cannot admit that the proclama.
ton of war zone from which neutral
ships have been warned to keep away
may be made to operate as in any de-
gree an abbreviation of the rights
either of American shipmasters or Of
American citizens bound on lawful or.
raads as passengers on merchant ships
Of belligerent nationality. 1t does not
understand the Imperial German gov
eminent to question those rights. 1t
understands 1t, also to accept as estab,
lished beyond question the principle
that the lives of non-combatants can
not lawfully or rightfully be put in
jeopardy by the capture or destruction
of an unresisting merchantmen, and to
recognize the obligation to take sufiic-
lent precaution to ascertain whether a
suspected merchantmen Is in fact of
belligerent nationality or is in fact
carrying contraband of war under a
neutral nag. The government of the
United States therefore deems it rea-
sonable to expect that the Imperial
German government will adopt the
measures necessary to put these prin-
ciples into practice in respect of the
safeguarding Of American lives and
American ships and asks for assur-
ances that this will be done.

to the grave responsibility which the
government of the United States con-
ceives that 1t has incurred in this trag-
ic occurrence, and to the indisputable
principle upon which that responsible
ity rests.
THE government of the United
States Is contending for something
much greater than mere rights of prop
erty or privileges of commerce. 1t is
contending for nothing less high and
sacred than the rights of humanity,
which every government honors itself
in respecting and which no govern
ment is justified in resigning on be-
half of those under it's care and auth
GRITTY. Only her actual resistance to
capture or refusal to stop when order
ed to do SO for the purpose of visit
could have afforded the commander Of
the submarine any justification for so
much as putting the lives of those on
board the ship in jeopardy. This prin-
ciple the government of lie United
States understands the Explicit in
structions issued on August 8, 1914, by
the Imperial German admiralty to its
nized and embodied, as do the naval
codes of all other nations, and upon it
every traveller and seaman had right
to depend 1t is upon this principle
of humanity as well as upon the law
founded upon this principle that the
United States must stand.
America Willing to be OF Service.
THE government of the United
States is happy to observe that Your
Excellency's note closes with the in
timaton that the Imperial German
government Is willing, now as before,
to accept the good offices of the United
States in an attempt to come to an
understanding with the government of
Great Britain by which the character
and conditions of the war upon the sea
may be changed The government of
the United States would consider 1t
privilege thus to serve its friends and
the world. 1t stands ready at any
time to convey to either government
any intimation or suggestion the other
may be willing to have 1t convey and
cordially invites the Imperial German
government to make use of its serv-
ices in this way at its convenience.
The whole world is concerned in any
thing that may bring about even a
partial accommodation of interests or
in any way mitigate the terrors of the
present distressing conflict.
In the meantime, whatever arrange
ment may happily be made between
the parties to the war, and whatever
may in the opinion Of the Imperial Ger
man government have been the prov
ocation or the circumstantial justi-
fication for the past acts Of it's COM
at sea, the government Of the
United States confidently looks to see
the justice and humanity Of the gov
eminent Of Germany vindicated in all
cases, where Americans have been
or their rights as neutral in

"The government Of the United
States therefore very earnestly and
very solemnly renews the representa-
tons OF its note transmitted to the
Imperial German government on the

day to Herr Won Jagow, the German
foreign secretary. It Is expected here,
however, that Germany will await the
arrival of Meyer Gerhard, personal
representative OF Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, who now is
enroute to Berlin to outline the atti-
tude Of the American government be-
fore making response.
| The note which brought on the crisis
in President Wilson's cabinet and cul-
minated in the resignation of William
]. Bryan as secretary of state, al
though friendly In character, firmly re-
news previous demands that the Ger
man government give assurances that
American lives and vessels shall here
after be safeguarded. What action
the United States will take in the
event Germany refuses to give such
assurances Is not indicated in the note.
Submarine Methods the Issue.
The note further declares that in the
view of the American government the
contention that the Lusitania was car
rying contraband of war or that these
munitions were exploded by tor
pedo ARE irrelevant to the question
Of the legality OF the methods used by
the German naval authorities in sink
ing the vessel"
ut is on this principle of humanity"
the note adds, as we'll on the law
founded on this principle that the
United States must stand"
The note assures Germany that it
sosv -, "a
assumed that the Lusitania carried
guns, but the opportunity is given to
Germany to submit any evidence that
American officials did not execute
their tasks thoroughly in inspecting
the Lusitania before sailing.
1t became known today that al
though the note was shown to Former
Secretary Bryan by direction of
President Wilson just before it was
dispatched, it was not altered after
Mr.. Bryan had seen it.
Acting Secretary Lansing attended
today's cabinet meeting by special in
vitation Of the president. He was not
present at the opening of the session,
in view of the ad interim nature of
his appointment in charge of the state
department, but came when the presi-
dent asked him to attend.
