I have been able to assist them and shall con- tinue the work, for they are apprecia- tive. Doubtless some who apply for aid to the Helping Hand Corner are un- worthy or impostors.

The note does not say that the American position is untenable. It merely demands that the facts in the case be first estah- llshed. IL takes the good old American view that the complainant must bring forth the evidence of the guilt of the accused
 St. Lous Globe Democrat: No more un- yielding a reply could have been written. with proper regard for diplomatic ameni- ties. That the answer will not be satis- factory to the United States goes without saying.
 Chicago Journal The claim that ths Lusitania was an armed vessel Is an un- mistaken Insult to the United States. which cleared the ship as a merchant man, but the request for an investigation of circumstances already known to the civilized world is shifty as 1t is in- solent.
 Milwaukee sentnel The German pre- iiminary reply Is meant to open the way for further discussion while scrupulously avoiding the appearance of shutting the door to the hope of arrangements that will make for the safety and rights Of neutrals and while preserving Germany's rights to avail herself fully of the means at her disposal to combat Britan's over whclming preponderance of sea power.

Germany agrees to pay the da images.
 The big problem that remains Is that growing out of the Lusitania disaster and the rights of American citizens upon the high seas under whatever flag. on this we are entitled to direct answer to our demands, nor will President Wilson, in the name of the country. be satisfied with anything else.
 Cleveland to) Plain Dealer: Ger many's note Is not reply to the United States. It ia merely n basis for a fur ther discussion and Is so designated by It's authors. It Is distinctly unsatisfac- tory

 In mortifying ignorance of the nature and object of hiking club" I am constrained to pass the query down the line.

BROKE HIS WORD AND
 NECK SIMULTANEOUS

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Allentown. Pa.-John s. Smith, aged 46, former engineer latterly gas man. known as 'Hoke" Smith. to distinguish him from the numerous other John Smiths in Allentown, succeeded fin killing himself this evening after persistent ef- forts.
 According to his family. he had been drinking heavily for week. After dn- ner he went to bed. In an hour his daughter heard a jump on the floor and found that Smith had tied a rope to the bedpost and around his neck and rolled out of bed.
 He was already choked blue when she cut the rope. When he revived he prom ised to behave. and she went into the garden to plant onions. He didn't re- spond for supper. and they found he had repeated. and was dead.

COTTON DISPLAYS NO REAL WEAKNESS Some Points Lost in Early Trading-The Close
 Is Steady

New Orleans, May 31.-while cntton lost to 1S points today, in the early trading, on the German reply to the note on the Lusitania. the market displayed no real weakness and by noon recovered most of the loss. In the afternoon tho market, while dull, was very steady and the close was at a net loss for the day of to B points. This was within l to ? points Of the highest of the day
 Comment on the German note did not stimulate offerings. The market appeared to be well liqudated of it's long interest and bearish traders were inclined 70 walt for further developments before increas- ing their commitments. The fact that New York was closed and that the gov ernments first condition figures of the season are due tomorrow restricted trad ing.
 Weather news attracted considerable at tention. Complaints of too much rain Tn several portions of the belt and the ap- pearance of boil weevils in several ooun- ties of Alabama had something to do with the steadiness.

Real Issue Ignored

Germany has ignored the real issue presented by the American note of May 1S As was clearly set forth in that his e toric document. the attitude of the United States is not based upon any one of the series of events cited, but upon the principle involved in the method of warfare in which they were incidents The United States stands today the champion of neutral rights and non- oombatant humanity. In the case of Germany versus civilization, the United States holds brief for civilization and will to the end. Germany must re- spect the rights of noncombatants tray cling upon the high seas"

Woodpecker Robs City

F 6B.
 Ilwaco Wash.-A woodpecker is blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's bill for pumping city water.
 The contract for filling the municipal reservoir is let to a power company, and an electric indicator notines the engineer been provided.
 For some months the bill has been re- garded as excessive, and the number of hours required daily to fill the basin has varied to a marked degree.
 Investigation has placed the blame on an innocent woodpecker, which chose one wire for a perch. and. with it's tall touch ing the other wire, made short circuit, So that the engineers signal to stop pump ing was controlled by the woodpecker's s rest rather than the depth of water pro- vided

Friendly and unsatisfactnry

From the New York Press.
 "Berlin's answer to President Will sons note Is friendly. gracious and unsatisfactory. sF The point, as made unmistakable in MT. Wilson's note, is that the Von Tirpitz admiralty must stop slaughtering American citizers. whether In the case of Gultight or a Lusitania, whether by pairs or by scores. The Berlin foreign office speaks of a probable misapprehension on the part of our government as to the real character of the Lusitania. There is none: there could be none"

Will Not Satisfy America

From the New York Tribune.
 "Germany's answer to our govern ment's protest against the slaughter of Its citizens, peacefully and lawfully go- ing about their business on the high seas, will not satify American opinion Courteous on the surface as Herr Won Jagow's communication is. 1t does not strike the note which the people of this country hoped that 1t would strike.'

Does Not Meet Issue
inc New York World

From the NeW 1ork W OrId.
 "The German note fin response to the American protest against submarine at tacks upon merchantmen does not meet the issue. It is worse than evasive; it Is insincere. even pettifogging. .Regreat will be felt everywhere in the United states that the affairs of great people believed to be friendly have fallen into she hands of men capable of such des- perate trifling.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-06-01
Not Responsive to Demands

From the New York Times
 The German reply is not responsive to our demand. It does not promote that clear and full understanding as to a grave situation which President Wilson ir his note declared to be desirable. . The manner in which Berlin receives our representations in regard to the sinking of the Lusitania cannot fall to create a most diasgreeahle impression in this country. which the notes out ward form of courtesy will not re- move'
