masses Shaving harder and longer
each year to pay the interest on the
increased wealth which they have
themselves produced, but do not own.
This system has been in effect in
this country since time immemOrable,
making it easy to see why the few
now have nearly all and the many
nearly nothing. Further, not con-
tent with merely increasing their
wealth by interest, they initiate their
stock with water, sometimes to the
extent of 100 per cent, which wealth,
created in their minds only, must also
bring the same rate Of interest as
their real money, Still further: A
large portion of their investment lies
in purchasing labor, which has Great
ed a market for labor in their local
ity, causing the people to populate
densely in the vicinity of the labor
market, which settlement in their 10
cality in itself increases the value Of
their holdings, in some cases to an in
credible extent, and the masses must
continue to pay interest on all the adj
ditiOns.
There are only two things possible
to enable the payment of the interest
on all these increases. One is for
them to buy their labor cheaper and
the other is to sell their commodities
at a higher price. They have evil

There is only one remedy, and that

ELIMINATION OF DgRNsuRe
State Department May Ask Germany
to Order Him Home.


Washington, May 12,-Though ap-
preciating that it is manifestly the
desire of the American public that

leave this country it seems most un-
likely that the Government Will take
any steps in the regard in advance of
the determination of the relations
that are to subsist between Germany
and the United States.
Only two methods are suggested
for actively endeayoring to remove
Dr. Dernburg. One is that the Unit
ed States Government, in recognition
of the extraordinary circumstances
and the state OF public sentiment. ig-
more the formalities and directly In
form DR. Dernburg, possibly through
the German Embassy, that his furth-
er presence in this country is not de-
sired. eer
The other suggestion is that the
German Government be communicate
ed with and informed that. while the
United States recognizes that DR..
Dernburg has no official status, it
would appreciate the German Gov
ernment's using its influence to con
vince him that his departure would
meet with the approval OF this Gov
ernment.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
Biblical Pageant wiz Be One of the
Features


A meeting OF the executive commit
tee of the Bennington County Sunday
school association was held Wednes-
day afternoon to listen TO the report
of the committee appointed to inyes-
tigate the advisability of holding a
county Sunday school picnic similar
to the one held last year at Airing
ton.
1t was found that a sufficient num-
Der of schools were interested in it
to assure it's success. Eighteen had
already registered which is larger
than the final number which took
part last year. So much enthusiasm
was manifested throughout the coun-
ty that the committee felt justified
in planning larger and better pro-
gram.
Mr.. Bartlett, secretary of the Ben
nington County improvement associa-
ton, a record breaking athelete him
self, was asked to plan the field
events. The afternoon program will
be something new and very ambiti-
Gus. A short Biblical pageant will
be given. This pageant has been
given by many city associations but
never before has county associa-
ton attempted it ont-of-doors. Miss
Anita Ferris of Montelair. N. j.. the
author will direct it. The episodes
viii be assigned to the different Sun
day schools entering.
The date chosen for the picnic is
Friday, June 25th

DEMANDSGERMANY
CHANGE METHODS
OF SUBMARINE
,.astssxjjse ReparatiOn For Loss o.
~. a', lives and Ships
PRESIDENTS NOTE SENT TODAY
Germany's Course Declared to Be
ndefensibIe Under Interna-
tional Law.

Washington, May 13--The United
States in note to be sent to Ger
many today demands a guaranty that
there will be no further attacks by
submarines on merchant ships carry
ing noncombatants. 1t serves notice
also that full reparation VIII be
sought for the loss gilmore than 100
American lives in the sinking of the
Lustania, and for other violations of
war.
The document was TO have been
cabled from Washington last night,
but the president. after conferences
with Councillor Robert Lansing of the
state department, made several
changes in legal detail and then re-
vised it alone in his study last night.
Today it will be dispatched and 1t is
expected to be made public soon af-
ter.
While no indication is given of the
steps to be taken by the United
States in the event of an unfavorable
reply, the note informs the German
government that the American gov
ernment will leave nothing undone
either in diplomatic representation or
other action to obtain compliance
with its requests.
No changes were made in the es-
sentials of the communication as
formulated Sunday by the president
E.r hn
day The principal points in the note
are substantially as follows:
I. The United States government
calls attention to the various Incl
dents in the war zone proclaimed by
Germany around the British isles;
the sinking of the British liner Fala-
ba, with the loss OF Leon C. Thres.
her, an American; the attack by Ger
man airmen ON the American steamer
Cushing, the torpedoing without
warning of the American steamer Gul
fight, flying the stars and stripes,
and finally the torpedoing without
warning of the Lusitania, with its
loss of more than 1000 lives of non
combatants, among them more than
100 Americans.
2. These acts are declared to be
indefensible under international law
The United States points out that it
never admitted Germany's right to
do them, and warned the imperial
government that it would be held to
a "strict accountability" for attacks
on American vessels, or lives. A
strict accounting, therefore, is now
asked from Germany.
8. The usual financial reparation
will be sought, although Germany is
in effect reminded that no reparation
can restore the lives of those sacri-
feed in the sinking of the Lusitania
and other ships.
4. Expressions OF regret may com
ply with the legal precedents, but
they are valueless unless accompanl-
ed by a cessation of the practices en-.
dangering lives of noncombatants.
5. The right of neutrals to travel
any point of the high seas on neutral
or beligerent merchantmen is as
serted
6. In the name of humanity and in
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-05-13

ternational law, the United States
demands guaranty that these rights
will be respected. and that there DC
no repetition of attacks on merchant
men carrying noncombatants.
7. The giving of warning to the
American public without officially
communicating them to the United
States government is commented on
in connection with the German en-
bassy's printed advertisement before
the sailing of the Lusitania, but ire
spective OF the failure TO advise the
American government of Germany's S
purpose, the point is made that notice
of an intention to do an unlawful act
neither justified nor legalized it.
8. The suggestion is conveyed
that the German government of
course could not have intended to de-
stroy innocent lives. and that conse-
quently the German submarine com
manders must have misunderstood
tneir instructions. The American
GOV eminent indicates its hope that
this will be found to be true, and a
cessation of the unlawful practices
thereby will result
I. In conclusion. Germany's atten-
lion is Gales to the earnestness of
TX government and people of The
United States in this situation. II
is made plain that the United States
will leave nothing undone either in
diplomatic representation or other
action to obtain a compliance by
Germany TO the request made.
