Washington, May 12-An official
statement was issued at the White
House today, saying:
"The course of the president
has been determined and it will be
announced just as soon as it is prop
er to publish the note that is in prep
aration."
The statement had reference to the
action of the administration in regard
to the Lusitania incident and other
similar cases involving the relations
of Germany and the United States.
1t is believed that the course that
has been decided upon will include a
request to Germany for more accu-
rate information on the policy of that
government toward American lives
and property on the high seas.
With responsibility in the Lusitania
and Falaba cases admitted the Amer

comedies responsibility in the Cush-

such events.
1t is understood that the note which
will be sent to Germany will not be in
the nature of a threat or an ultimatum
1t will refuse to endorse the German
view that The warnings that were
given constitute an excuse for the
course of the Germans in the case Of
the Lusitania.
What will be done in case Germany
proves obdurate. refusing to be i'm
pressed with the American view, is
uncertain. The Gushing and Gulflight
cases will probably be most empha-
sized.

Who are The BOOSterSl

Every town has its boosters and
its knockers. No community is
ever found without them.
We have a healthy respect aud a
profound admiration for the booster,
but our opinion of the chrome
knocker would be unprintable.
Why can't we all be boosters In
this town?
Why have any knockers at all?
And that brings a question to our
mind. Who are the boosters IN
this town? Who are the men and
women who always have a good
word tor 1t? Who are the ones
who always speak well Of ITS people,
and Of ITS past accomplishments,
and of its prospects for the future?
We would like nothing better
than TO have vote taken by the
whole population, with each citizen
naming those he or she considers
TO be boosters. And then we
would like to publish the names Of
the boosters III tins paper, and hold
them up to the public as just what
they are--our most progressive
citizens.

time suppose you just sit down and

your judgment are the greatest
