EXPRESSION OF
Deep SYMPATHY
But Germany BIdnGs Britain For
Loss OF American Lives
DUE TO STARVATION BLOCKADE

Berlin Note Expresses Regret That
Americans Relied Upon EngIand's
Promises Instead OF German Warn
fngs-Bernstorff Calls on Bryan ano
Expresses Regret For Deaths
The Geman government cabled to
the state department at Washington
an expression of the deepest sym
pathy over the loss of American lives
through the destruction Of the Lusi
tania. Germany, however, reiterates
her declaration that the responsibility
rests with the British government.
The message is to be transmitted
to the United States through the en-
hassy at Washington. 1t declares
that all Germany sympathizes with
America in the loss of American citi
zens, but that the real responsibility
rests with England's starvation block
ade.
British merchant vessels, which
generally are armed, the message OF
coincidence says, have so frequently
tried to ram submarines that previ-
Gus search is impossible, and hence
they cannot be treated like ordinary
merchantmen.
The official German statement fur
Their states that the English press has
admitted that on her previous voyage
the Lusitania carried large quantities
of war material and that it is admit
ted that among her cargo on the last
trip was $500 cases Of small arms am
nurition. It is also pointed out that
the most of the liners cargo was
chiefly contraband.
Continuing, the German statemen,
says:
If England, after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that the boat
ran no risk, thus lightheartedly as
Stunning the responsibility for human
lives, Germany, despite her heart
felt sympathy over the loss of Ameri-
can lives, cannot but regret that
Americans felt more inclined to trust
England's promises rather than to pay
attention to warnings from the Ger
man side

SITUATION TEMPERED
Gloom Somewhat DispeIled by Bern
storff's Call on Bryan


German Ambassador Won BernstOr1
called on Secretary Bryan and eX-
pressed deep regret that the events
Of the war had led to the loss Of Sc
many American lives"
After { half hours conference be

given out by the secretary:
The German ambassador called st
the state department and expressed
his deep regret that the events Of the
war had led to the loss Of so many
American lives
One point seems settled for the ed
ministration in connection With the
Lusitania case:
Germany evidently is not seeking t.
provoke trouble with the United
States. Fears we're expressed at first
that the kaiser would assume a
naughty or at least Indifferent atti-
tude concerning the death Of Aneri-
cans On the liner.
Omcialdom does not pretend that
this eliminates the difficulties ahead
but it is agreed that it opens the way
for calm consideration of the casG
between the Washington and Berlin
governments.

HELPFUL WORDS.
From a Barton Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer-
ton?
Is there a soreness in the kidney
region?

If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt attention.

kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend

W. r. Goodro, High street, Barton,

my back that made it hard for me to
stoop or lift. My kidneys did not do
their work regularly and the kidney
secretions looked unnatural. I used

cured at Pierce's Drug store, and they
quickly relieved me, in fact. helped

AUSTR0-lTALIAN
breach NEAR
London Expects Definite Word
at Almost Any Mlament
BATTLE RAGING III The West

Known to Be of Desperate Character
and Widespread Extent-No Proof
of "sweeping Victory" by Teutons
In Western Galicia-Russians Ad-
nit Loss Of Part OF Libau
According to advices received in
London the italian government, with
900, 600 fighting men entrenched on
the frontier, with all classes called tG
the coIors and with everything pre-
pared for aggressive war, awaits the
final reply OF Austria. Unless it ar
rives within twenty -four hours, or il
it is unfavOrable, Italy Will consider
the negotiations terminated.
In the meantime the publication OF
important DEGREES which were signeo
at the last meeting Of the Italian cabi-
net has been withheld.
The echoes of the Lusitania trag-
edy, the possibility Of the United
States becoming involved in the wal
as a result Of the death Of more than
a hundred of her citizens and the
ltaly-Austria negotiations are being
more widely discussed than the news
from the front, although there has
been a big battle along the whole line
OF the western front, from Arras tC
Lille
That this battle has been Of desper
ate character and widespread extent
is made certain both by the Berlin and
Paris official statements.
AS yet the Teutons have failed t.
afford incontrovertible proof of theig
"sweeping victory in western Cali
cia. Although it may be readily con-
coded that the Russian line between
the Vistula and the Carpathians has
been pushed back, there is no evil
dence Of any wholesale disaster tc
the Russian arms, nor that the cZa}
has been forced to yield his hold On
the heights to the east of Dukla pass
All indication Of the slowing up Of
the TeutOnic offensive may be real
in the Berlin and Vienna reports. The
German communication has the pur-
suit of the Russians continuing in the
0pOC Ill WulCu LI1C Ocl1u pun
was going on last Saturday, namely
across the WislOka river, while the
Austrian statement repeats the story
of the driving Of all Russians from
Hungarian soil.
On the other hand, Petrograd says
the Austrian attacks in the direction
of MezO LabOrcz, which lies in north
ern Hungary, have been repuIsed ana
that the German assaults in western
Galicia are less frequent, although
carried on with undiminiShed fury.
The German invasion Of the Baltic
provinces seems to have reached its
height with the capture of the port o.
Libau, which Petrograd has conced
ed. Berlin admits that the German
advance divisions TO the south of Lii
bau are avoiding the enemy, while
the Russian report indicates that {
serious reverse has been inflicted OF
the enemy in this region.
In all probability the German opera
tons here were designed more or less
as a diversion to tempt the Russian
to withdraw heavy forces of troops
from other and more vital points or
the eastern battle line.

HOPES TO AVOID WAR
America Will Set Peace Example &c
the World. Says President


the World, Says President
President Wilson gave to a gather
ing of 1000 naturaIized Americans at
Philadelphia the first intimation Of tne
course which the United States gov
eminent probably will pursue in tn
situation resulting from the loss OF
more than 100 lives on the British
liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that, while the United States
would remain at peace, it Would seek
to convince Germany CT the injustice
to mankind Of the tragedy Of last Fri
day.
America" said the president,
must have the consciousness that
on all sides it touches elbow and
touches heart with al the nations OF
mankind. The example Of America
must be a special example, and must
be an example not merely Of peace
because it will not fight, but because
peace is a healing and elevating in
| fuence of the world and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a man
being too proud to fight. There is
such thing as beng so right that it
does not need to convince others by
force that it is right"
These remarks pr3cipitated a tu-
multi of applause and patriotic en-
thusiasm, ending by the waving OF
! thousands of small American flags

Gold Fused with iridium.

Gold being extremely resistant to
corrosion, pens made Of it are very
durable. but the metal is too soft
for the points, which wear quickly IN
less protected by some harder ma
terial. For this purpose iridium is
widely employed, by fusing the gold
round it with a bIow-pipe.

over until Monday and. in the meantime.
the books close. When the full effect of
this was realized. liquidation appeared
in Rock Island. carrying the price down
some 3 points. This unsettled the gen.
eral list
Stocks were never exactly weak today.
1t would be more accurate to describe
the market as reactionary, with a con-
tinuation of proft-taking.
Trade Reports Encouraging.
Steel was well bought. Trade reports
are highly encouraging and a quiet accu-
mutation is going on in the stock based
on the theory that an advance to about
50 is justified by present prospects.
A meeting of Interborough directors
is expected during the coming week and
some announcement regarding dividend
policy should follow. The coming stock.
which had been held down, was boldly
lifted more than a point.
American Sugar and Cuban American
each gained points. Both companies
are reported to be doing a heavy bust
ness on a wide margin Of profit.
Though Copper issues were neglected.
confidence is still maintained and a re-
newal of activity at advancing prices
may be looked for shortly.
New Haven. which was strong, it Is I'M
derstood. will shortly dispose of its
holdings of Ontario and Western. which
are expected to pass to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. a banker,
who is a director in both New Haven and
Ontario. has been a conspicuous buyer
of the latter stock for some time. Ac-
ton on Ontario dividend, which was
passed last August, will come before
the directors In August when l per cent
is expected.
National Biscuit Drops = Points.
Erie issues were active Clarke, Childs
and Company, T. l.. Manson and Com
pany and Strong Sturgis and Company
were large buyers of the common. This
stock is an old speculative favorite and
might easily be advanced to the thirties.
National Biscuit dropped . points, ac-
by rumors that the company
is feeling keenly the high cost Of -four
and the competition of the Loose-Wiles
people.
Studebaker took the lead in the auto
mobile issues, with a smart gain, and
early action on the dividend is proph-
esied Goodrich rose from Al to 43 3-4.
This is another stock in which insiders
took some early profits. expecting re-
action which shows no signs of maturing.
Bonds were active with a somewhat
easier tone in prices.
While 1t is generally agreed that we are
in a period of rising prices, there Is
a strong disposition to move slowly !
for the next few days
