Gerard Will Not Discuss II

Washington, July 9.-The United
States government will not engage in
formally in any discussion or negotia-
ton with Germany regarding the
character of the forthcoming reply to
the Il american note on submarine
warfare
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has
been informed that such is the presi-
dents decision and that the ambassa-
dor is to make no comment on the
tentative draft given him by the Ger
man foreign office. If asked for an
expression he is to say that the United
States will await formal reply be-
fore discussing the question further.
The outline of the German note as
cabled by ambassador Gerard is
known to be far from satisfactory to
officials. With respect to the sinking
of the Lusitania, on which more than
100 Americans perished, no admission
of liability is made. Whether in ex-
tenuation or not, the view is express
ed in the draft that when torpedoed
it was not believed the Lusitania
would sink as rapidly as she did. As
for the future, citizens of the United
States would be permitted to travel
with safety on the high seas If passen-
gers on American ships or on belliger-
ent ships not carrying munitions of
war.
The United States would be re-
quired to inform the German govern
ment of the date of the departure and
character of vessels carrying Ameri-
cans and guarantee that such ships
had no munitions of war on board.
In this connection high officials here
stated that it would be an unneutral
act for the United States to notify any
belligerent government of the date of
departure from an American port or
the character of the cargo of a mer-
chairman of another belligerent.

TIME CHANGES
MANY THINGS
IN TELEGRAP PHY
BAN WAS PLACED HARD AND
FIRM ON TYPEWRITERS A FEW
YEARS AGO. NOW MAN MUST BE
ABLE TO USE ONE TO HOLD JOB

w T. Salisbury, local manager of
the Postal Telegraph Company of this
city has a letter in his possession that
he prizes very highly from the fact
that it at one time came near causing
him to lose a job and for the further
fact that in the light of after events
it is rather a huge joke. When he
first stepped into the ranks of the
brass Founders he was located at
Gainesville, working for the Santa Fe.
About this time the typewriter was
beginning to get firm hold on the
public, and, he, like many others,
thought it was the proper thing to
own one. From his wages he invested
in a machine and was getting along
nicely with it, when the news of the
event reached the ears of the general
superintendent at Cleburn. Then
things began to happen. The G. S.
took his pen in hand and wrote friend
Salisbury that there was no such ami
NAL as a typewriter permitted in any
telegraph office of any railroad that
he was bossing, and for him to ditch
the critter at once and stick to the
pencil and pad. Well, when the or
der was handed Salisbury, he did as
he was told, but he has had the pleas
ure of showing the letter to the G S
since, and has had the laugh on him.
in fact, they have both laughed to-
gether, as today there is not an Of

is not considered a part of

For several days it has been rumor,
ed that new drug store would be

in the deal, are adverse to talking
about the matter at this time, al
though it is more than probable that

From 4 Moral Standpoint

The legislature of 1915 had several
strictly moral or social questions be-
fore it for action and quite uniform
ly decided in favor of good morals. In
the case of the prohibition referen-
dunn bill the verdict was in favor of
greater restriction of the liquor traf-
fic. The bill for regulating the sale
of morphine and other narcotics was
enacted into law and it is made il
legal to sell these habit forming
dl ugs except upon the prescription OF
a physician and the physician can not
prescribe it for the purpose OF al
lowing one confirmed in the drug
habit to evade the law. The act for
the prevention of venereal diseases
was a bold one but the legislature de-
clared in favor of the restriction of
this evil.
AS a whole we do not remember
another legislature that had so many
moral and social issues before it and
certainly not one that acted with
greater uniformity in the interests
of morality and better social condi-
lions.
