r. NJ. Cowan and family, Of Tamas-
soc, were recent guests Of r. y. Ran
kin.
Owing to bad weather the closing
exercises Of our school were post
pOned until last Friday evening,
when the interesting program was
successfully carried out and enjoyed
by the large audience present. The
proceeds from the ice cream sale cN-
Cceded our expectations, as the dcciS-
ion to sell cream was not made in
time to be extensively advertised and
only few gallons were made. The
sale was conducted by members Of
the finance committee Of the antici-
pated reunion of the teachers and
pupils Of Bounty Land which will be
held in August.

mcnt has been with the character of
with the high principles OF equity
with which they have in the past been
actuatcd and guided, the government
OF the United States cannot believe
that the commanders OF the vessels
which committed these acts OF law
leSSncSs did so except under miSap-
prehenSion Of the orders issued by
the imperial German naval authOri-
ties. 1t takes it for granted that, at
least within the practical possibilities
Of every such case, the commanders
nothing that would involve the lives
Of nOn-COmbatants or the safety of
neutral ships, even at the cost Of fail
ing Of their object OF capture or de-
structiOn. 1t confidently expects,
therefore, that the imperial German
government will disavOw the acts Of
which the government OF the Uni
ted States complains, that they will
make reparation, so far as rapara-
ton is possible, for injuries which
are without measure, and that they
will take immediate steps to prevent
the recurrence OF anything so obvi-
ously Subvcrsive TO the principles of
warfare for which the imperial Ger
man government has in the past so
wisely and so firmly Contcnded.
Look for just Action.
'Thc government and people Of the
United States look to the imperial
German government for Just, prompt
ana enlightened action in this vital
matter with the greater confidence
/ because the United States and Ger
many are bound together not only by
! special ties of friendship, but also by
the explicit StipulatiOnS Of the treaty

and the Kingdom Of Prussia.
Expressions Of regret and offers
OF reparatiOn in case Of the destruc-
ton Of neutral ships sunk by mis-
take, Wnllc tncy may satisfy interna-
! tional obligations, if no loss Of life
results, cannot justify or excuse a
| practice, the natural and necessary
| effect Of which is to subject neutral
nations and neutral persons to new
and immeasurable risks.
"The imperial German government
| will not expect the government Of
the United States to omit any word
or any act necessary to the perform
ance of its sacred duty OF maintain
ing the rights Of the United States
and its citizens and OF safeguarding
