Michigan Legislature Passed asd pe'
feated Some Mighty Good Measures


The Michigan legislature adjourned
last Friday as previously announced
although Tor time II looked mighty
dubious il the two houses would agree
on the date for adjournment
In its last hours the legislature pas
sed few good measures and killed
some good ones. II likewise disposed
OF some vicious measures as well.
Among the good measures epacted
into law was the judicature bill de-
signed to eliminate great deal OF the
delay and simplify our procedure.
This is the bill that was written by
governors commission after exhaus-
tive study and. a big expenditure. The
time taken in drafting the law was lS-
months and the cost was about that
many thousand dollars
The surprising thing was the oppo-
.ition TO the measure during the time
Il was up for discussion, the said OPP
position being lead by two upper pen
insula men, Rep. Peterman of Calumet
and Empson of Gladstone The bill
passed by a margin OF one vote show
ing that the proposition didn't have
anything to spare.
One bill killed was that to allow es-
tates to incorporate This bill was in
troddced by Rep. Peterman and its
killing was done in the senate The
proposition is generally looked upon
as vicious one and its passage was
fought hard by Senator Verdier and
the whole judiciary committee OF
the senate
Among the measures passed was
the amendment TO the primary law
restoring the separate ballots The
only important change from the pre-
sent law is that the blanket ballot is
done away with and different colored
ballots for the various parties will
hereafter be the style The enrolment

VICE PRESIDENT
 SAYS HIS MISSION
 IS TO URGE PEACE
Wilson Will Maintain Peace as Long as He Can Do So
 with Honor.

Little Rock, July 9.-Vice Presi- dent Thomas R. Marshall and Mrs. Marshall left tonight to return North, after a day of entertainment in Little Rock, during which the vice presi- dent made three addresses and won the hearts of all who heard him by ner.
 II know that most of you came here this morning to see what sort of an animal am," said Vice Presi- dent Marshall in an address at the statehouse this forenoon shortly aft CT his arrival. Probably most of you said, Well, he doesn't look the part Maybe so. but I want to say that I have a mission in travelling about this country, and my mission is to urge peace, if that peace can be maintained with honor to the na- tion. The man whom you have chos- en as your leader has many burdens, and his one wish is to have peace. You can rest assured that he will do all that he can to preserve peace just as long as the honor of the na- tion remains unstained. What he de- CluCS VIII OC HUH pau AOt1C ICoICS with the interests of the American people always first. Whether there is peace depends upon the people of the United States.
 "This is time when it is danger ous for a public man to get down to particulars in our governmental re- lations. We stand aghast at the lack of Christianity among the many na- tions now engaged in the great con- flict. I don't know how long it may continue; it is impossible to forecast the future, but I hope this cup of war may pass away from the lips of the American people,"
 When Vice President Marshall was escorted to the speakers stand the grounds of the old statehOuse were filled. and several hundred stood along the sidewalk outside the iron fence. Governor Hays, in short ad- dress. introduced Vice President Mar shall.

Attempts to Shift Responsi- bility for Lusitania
 Disaster.
U. $. WILL REJECT
 THE NEW PROPOSALS
While RciOinder to kaiser's Reply Will Not Close Negotiations. Cate- gOIicaI tnSwpr to II. $. Note
 Will Be Demanded.

Washington July 9.-Itnough of the new matter contained in Germany's reply to the United States on the Lusitania case reached Washington today to enable officials to forecast what the reply of the United States will be.
 It can be asserted that the United States will stand on it's demand that Germany accept responsibility of the death of American citizens on the Lusitania. Germany, however, will be given an opportunity to reply to the rejoinder of the United States to the German note. which will be formulated at a cabinet meeting Tues day.
 Ii can also be stated on very high authority that the rejoinder of the United States will not essentially be of character to close the dls- cussion to the German foreign office. The United States, so far as offi- cials have made up their suggestions for the president, will discuss with Germany the various propositions in her note. but will insist that Ger many confine her next reply to a cate l previous assertions that she is re- sponsible for the death of citizens or this country on the unarmed. unre- J sisting public British merchant snip Lusitania.
 Gerard Has Reply. l Ambassador Gerard at Berlin caD- led the state department today that he had received Germany's reply to the last note of the United States on the Lusitania, and it is expected here in it's entirety by tomorrow night.
 An additional telegram from MT. I Gerard. received this morning, was plain ntimation that Germany has neither affirmed nor denied respon- sibility for the American citizens on the Lusitania, but is still inclined
 to shift that responsibility to the l owners of the vessel. h.ti, l.i as.e l This evasive attitude of Germany it is admitted, has started discussion by the highest officials as to Eow Germany's attitude should be met: Tn fact, the whole discussion at the state department today was over this an ticipated reply of Germany.

 Troops Ever Uttered.
SUPREME HOUR FOR
 ENGLAND STRIKING
Secretary for War Finds Great En- thusiasm Everywhere. Except About Recruiting Situation I'm.
 proves, But Need Is Great.

London, July 9.-Lord Kitchener to- day made the most impassioned ap- peal for troops that has ever been made by the head of the British fight ing forces.
 In the historic Guild hall, address, ing the most distinguished audience that could be gathered in the empire. he explained, with the solemn empha- sis of religious exhorter:
 "It has been we'll said that in ev- cry mans life there is one supreme hour, towards which all other exper fences move and from which all fu- ture results may be reckoned. For the individual Briton, as we'll as for the national existence, that solemn hour is now striking Let us take heed"
 Huge crowds lined the way from the war office to "the city" and made a remark ] ble demonstration of loyal ty and affection for the hero of many conflicts-most of which of late have been political rather than military.
 "We require more men and still more men," said Earl Kitchener, sounding the keynote of his address, "but the situation iE this respect is immeasurably better now than it was ten months ago. The military posi- tion today, however, is as serioas as it was then .55.I-.ag..s
 Lord Kitchener referred to the bravery of the Indian forces and the Canadians fighting salongside their French and British comrades in Elan ders, and representing solid and impenetrable front"
 "In the Dardanelles,' Lord kitch- ener continued, "the Australians and New Zealanders combined already have accomplished feat of arms al- most unexampled in brilliancy and are pushing the campaign to a suc- cessful conclusion.
 "In each of these great dominions new and large contingents are heinz prepared. while South Africa, not content with the successful conclp- sion of an arduous campaign Tn Southwest Africa, is now of1ering large forces to engage the army in the main theatre of the war.
 strengthened by the unflinching support of our fellow-citizens across the seas we seek to develop our own military resources to the utmost, ana this is the purpose which brings us together today"

Washington. July 9.-Reports have come to the state department from it's consular agents in Merico that within three or four weeks famine will prevail throughout the whole country.
 Private statements say that the Mexican leaders can afford no relief to the people. Some of the cOnsuls state that the only hope for the situ- ation is some form of intervention.
 A new and serious complication en- tered into the Mexidan situation when the department of justice in- formed the state department that the Atlanta, one of three vessels forming an expedition reported to be in fav- or of Felix Diaz, had sailed from Baltimore for Mexico.
 It is said the Atlanta will go to Havana and proceed from there with another vessel to some point in Mexico.
