OTHER PROPOSITIONS MADE IN THE LAST GERMAN NOTE ARE REFUSED AS BEING AD
MISSABLE

Following is the official text of the
latest American note to Germany re-
garding submarine warfare, which
was delivered to the foreign office at
Berlin by Ambassador Gerard:
Department of State, Washington,
July 21, 1915.
The Secretary of State to Ambassador
Gerard:
You are instructed to deliver text
ually the following note to the min
lister for foreign affairs:
The note of the Imperial German
government dated the 9Th day of July,
1915, has received the careful con-
sideration of the government of the
United States and it regrets to be OBJ
liged to say that it has found it very
unsatisfactory, because it fails to
meet the real differences between the
two governments and indicates no
way in which the accepted principles
of law and humanity may be applied
for a partial suspension of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them aside.
The government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the Imperial German government
recognizes without reservation the
validity of the principles insisted on
in the several communications which
this government had addressed to the
Imperial German government with
regard to its announcement of a war
zone and use of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas-the
principle that the high seas are free,
that the character and cargo of a
merchantmen must first be ascer-
tanned before she can lawfully be
seized or destroyed, and that the
lives of non-combatants may in no
case be put in jeopardy unless the
vessel resists or seeks to escape after
being summoned to submit to exami-
nation; for belligerent act of re-
taliation is per Sc an act beyond the
law, and the defense of an act as re-
taliatory is an admission that it is
illegal.

RUSSIANS AIRS MAKING
A FIERCE RESISTANCE
TREMENDOUS EFFORTS TO CAPTURE WARSAW BE-
ING MADE BY THE TEUTONS
(AssOciated Press)

London, July 24.-The battle about
Warsaw is still raging without indi-
cation of its ultimate outcome. Pet
rograd comedies there is fighting six
miles southwest of Ivangorod, where
the Germans smashed the wire en-
tanglements, but says they we're
hurled back with heavy losses.
FIGHTING FOR THE RAILROAD
Both Vienna and Berlin, without
giving details, claim the Teuronic
forces are now fighting virtually
along the Lublin-Chelm railroad. Pet
rograd admits the Germans have at
tackled a village on this line and
claims the attack was repulsed. 1t is
admitted, however, that some ground
regained was later lost.
WANT TO SAVE WARSAW
The impression is growing that the
Russians are fighting in hope of saw
ing Warsaw and defeating the Ger
mans.
TEUTONS HAD TO SEND FOR
MORE TROOPS
That the Germans feel their forces
are inadequate is indicated by news
from Riga that German army corps,
recently landed at Libau, has been
sent to strengthen the attack on War
saw.
QUIET ON WESTERN FRONT
The western front is comparatively
calm.
TWO SHIPS TORPEDOED
London, July 24.-The Russian ship
Robonia and the trawler Star of
Peace have been torpedoed and sunk
by a submarine near the Orkney ISL
ands.

WANTON ACT SHOULD BE DIS
AVOWED

In view of the admission of lille
gality made by the Imperial govern
ment when it pleaded the right of re-
taliation in defense of its acts and in
view of the manifest possibility of
conforming to the established rules
of naval warfare, the government of
the United States cannot believe that
the Imperial government will longer
refrain from disavowing the wanton
act of its naval commander in sinking
the Lusitania or from offering rep
aration for the American lives lost,
so far as reparation can be made for
a needless destruction of human life
by an illegal act.

SUBMARINE WAR MUST CON-
FORM TO RULES

The events of the past two months
have clearly indicated that it is pos
sible and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations and have char
acterized the activity of the Imperial
German navy within the so-called
war zone in substantial accord with
the accepted practices of regulated
warfare. The whole world has look
ed with interest and increasing salts
faction at the demonstration of that
possibility by German naval COM
manders. 1t is manifestly possible,
therefore, to lift the whole practice
of submarine attack above the crit
icism which it has aroused and re-
move the chief cause of offense.

Willis b. Powell is a Genuine Artist in
Arranging Words

The Clearwater Sun has given most
interesting reports of the games be-
tween it's home team and the Ocala
boys this week. If Willis b. Powell
had been at Troy, he instead of
Homer, would have been assigned the
job of writing the Iliad. We would
give all his reports in full if we could,
but as that is beyond our capacity we
reprint his account of Thursdays
second game which was the first that
Ocala won.
"Ocala won the second game, a lit
tie Ginning affair, which had a few
frills and some dampness. Coming
from a wet town, the Ocala boys had
the advantage in a game that was
played in a drizzle.
"Going to tell about this game in a
few words.
"You see, when we get beaten, the
least we say about it the better.
"The details are per viz. as follows:
"Brown spat on his bat and took a
whack at that elusive little ball. He
knocked a grounder that was a
bounder, but didn't score at all. Fat
and sassy Harris well not embarrass,
but it is only true-he's thrown out
by Jordan (here we beg his pardon) !,
he took his seat, he's through. Ze-
wadski, what a name, oh, my, knocked
up a little fly, which fell to Paige.
That's the way to do it, good boy
you'll never rue it, if you always get
the gauge. Bring the smelling salts,
Mabel.
"Harris muffs Dodge's fly to left.
Paige doubles to 2nd scoring Dodge.
Kirk pulls a homer to the tall grass
by Safety Harbor, forcing Paige to
score whether he wanted to or not.
Thomas turned on the electricity into
the brass blades. Howell moved the
lawn in the direction of second. Camp
bell got a jolt in the ribs and was
carried to first base to see if the
change would do him good. Carpenter
sent a chicken to roost. Draw the
curtain.
