Wilson's Formal Note.

Couched in language thoroughly
diplomatic, President Wilson has
placed formally before the govern
ment of Germany his note indicating
with the firmness Of great earnestness
the position the government Of the
United States assumes relative to the
series of happenings, emanating from
Germany toward American merchant
boats and American passengers on
non-combatant ships, finding state
of precipitation in the Lusitania in
cident.
The note, while framed TO avoid all
expressions that in the manner Of
putting might be irritating in itself,
in its declarations plainly must be in
terpreted by the emperor of Germany
and his government as conclusive evil
dance of settled purpose.
The presidents attitude in the pro-
cedure of matters as stated Thursday
in these couluns leaves break that
means resort to belligerency, were
such conditions to arise between the
nations, where it will be quite sure to
find Germany the intiator of such
steps.
Were Germany's reply TO be not
satisfactory TO President Wilson, the
latter could sever diplomatic relations
with that country. Such action how
ever, is not of necessity in itself a
cause for war. 1t depends upon
whether the degree of resentment
with which il is received by the
government toward which it is direc-
ted, may evoke such an argument
The attitude of President Wilson,
stripped of the courtesies of diploma
cy is unequivocal, and is so put, but
in way to avoid any irritation of
statement.
Whatever action may result the
American people will feel assured the
situation from the standpoint of this
government has been conducted with
Infinite discretion, lack OF passion,
earneStneSS of deep conviction and
sincere wish to do everything To avoid
q break with Germany that con-
sistency with duty and loyalty to
principle and country would permit.

FARMERS COOPERATIVE PACKING
COMPANY,


FARMERS COOPERATIVE PACKING
COMPANY,
Wausau, Wis.
GENTLEMEN =
Re y0er fGUor Of May 5th.
Regarding the location of our plant,
beg to state that we are located on
Front street, right near the business
section of the city; flour mill three
or four hundred feet from US next
to that wood working factories di-
rectly across the street, machine fac
tory; north, wood working factories,
feed mill, plumbing establishment;
within two blocks of the Burlington
depot and hotels; three or four blocks
from the wholesale business section
of the city.
A packing house, as handled at the
present time, is entirely different
from what it was twenty or thirty, or
even ten years ago, as all meats are
handled fresh, and under scientific
management, so that there should be
no odors. In fact, no one walking in
front of our plant, as regards odor,
would know there was packing
house being conducted. OF course,
the noise of the 'hollering" of the
hogs cannot be dispensed with.
A city that wishes business to come
to their place should not hesitate on
any small matter that might drive it
to some other locality, as y cosmopol-
itan city, and one that gre VS., is look
ing for industries, and not for making
a park out of their city.
In our judgment, we would not
consider the locality of packing
plant detrimental to the value of adj
jacent property, and really think in
time it would enhance it.
Hoping the above meets your re-
quirements, we are,
Yours truly,
FARMERS COOPERATIVE PACKING
Co. OF LA CROSSE.
BY ANDREW BOYD,
V-Pres. and Gen. Mgr.
In conclusion let me state that |
have far greater interests in this city
than my investment in the packing
company, and If there was in my
mind the faintest doubt that the
location of this plant would cause any
annoyances to residents of this city,
l would be the first to condemn it,
for l anticipate long residence in
our city beautiful and would not
cherish the thought of being respon-
sible for any nuisance loaded upon
our people.
Respectfully submitted,
