GERMAN REPLY EXPECTED SOON
Think Answer Will Reach Washington On Wednesday.
PROPOSE BARGAIN FOR FOOD

Wilson's Note Received In Berlin as a
 Surprise-Sad That Germany Is as
 Anxious to ConciIiate Because or ltaI-
 ian Situation-Much Speculation on
 Her Attitude.
 Germany's reply to President Will sons note may reach Washington with in twenty-fOur hours. Unofficial inti nations reached the capital that the Berlin foreign office intends to eXpe- dite the preparation of it's reply. Cop les of the presi ,nt's Hast word on submarine warfare" are already in the hands of the kaiser and his chief ad- Tisers.
 Ambassador Gerard's formal notifica- tion that he had delivered President Wilson's note in Berlin was received at the state department.
 The belief persisted in Washington that the German answer would be con eiliatory. The state department pro- fessed to be in the dark. but there was not European embassy or legation which had not received a report of the Herman official attitude toward the United States. All agreed that Ger. man officials were amazed when they received the presidents message giving them practically no choice of decisiOn on the main questions at issue.
 Germany, it is said in diplomatic cir eles, expected protest concerning the Lusitania. She realized that one was being prepared in the Falaba case. in volving the death of the American Leon Hhrasher. The kaiser was understood to stand ready to disavOw the Cushing and Gulfiight incidents and not only to apologize, but to offer indemnity. President Wilson's tart assertion thar the sinking of the Lustania was crime, coupled with the demand that the German submarine warfare be end ed forthwith. came, however. as an un. pleasant surprise to Berlin. It is as serted that Germany is nevertheless anxious to conciliate the United States because of developments in Italy.
 For this reason it is expected the Berlin government will accept in spirit at least the undebatable sections of the presidents note. even to the extent temporarily of halting her submarine activities against merchant vessels. and then seek ground of amicable final settlement that will benefit Ger many.
 The prevailing belief in Washington is that Germany will offer to dicller with the United States. proposing cessation of submarine attacks upon enemy merchantmen provided the Washington government will bring pressure upon Great Britain to raise tlt2 embargo on shipments of food to GCrmany.

HUMANITY BACKED BY
 NAVY, SAYS WILSON
Declares J. s. Fleet Only En-
 forces Moral Principles.

President Wilson. after reviewing 5000 men from the fleet. which was on review in the North river. made il notable address at q luncheon at a New York city hotel. ill which he em- phasized the points he made in his note to Germany.
 The climax of the presidents speech which elicited the widest cheering was the line that ran:
 'For the interesting and inspiring thing about America. gentlemen. k that she asks nothing for herself ex- humanity itself"
 The presidents speech in part fol- lows:
 This is not an occasion upon which. it seems to me- that it would be wise for me to make many remarks. but l should deprive myself of a great qualification if I did not express my pleasure in being here, my gratitude for the spelndid recep- tion which has been accorded me as the representative of the nation and my pr1- found interest in the navy of the United States.
 That is an interest with which I was apparently born. for it began when l was youngster and was ripened with my knowledge of the affairs and policies of the United States I think it is the na- tural instinctive judgment of the people of the United States that they express their power appropriately in an efficient navy, and their interest is partly. l be- lieve, because that navy somehow IS ex pected to express their character not within our own borders where that char acter is understood, but outside our borders where it is hoped we may oc- casionally touch others with some slight vision of what America stands for.
 But before I speak of the navy of the United States I want to take advantdEe of the first public opportunity nave had to speak of the secretary of the navy to express my confidence and mN admiration and to say that he has my unqualified support. for I have counse'ed with him in intimate fashion.
 For the interesting and inspiring thing about America, gentlemen. is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity itself We want no nations property; we wish to question no nations honor; we wish to stand selfshIy in the way of the develop ment of no nation; we want nothing thaf we cannot get by our own legitimate en- terprise and by the inspiration of our own example. and standing for these things it is not pretension on our part to say that We are privileged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for and speaking for those things which all ha- manity must desire.
 When a crisis occurs in this country. gentlemen. it is as if you put your hand on the pulse of a dynamo; it is as if the things which you were in connection with were spiritually bred. You had nothinc to do with them. except if you Tisten truly to speak the things that you hear These things now brood over the river: this spirit now moves with the men who represent the nation in the navy: these things will move upon the waters in the maneuvers-no threat lifted against any man. against any nation, against any in. terest. but just great solemn evidence of the force of moral principle.

ONE-THIRD OF ROME
 IN PARADE FOR WAR
AuStrO- Italian Clashes on the
 Border Are Reported.

Following the official announcement that King Victor Emmanuel had de clined to accept the resignation of Premier Salandra and his cabinet the city of Rome has given itself up to a pro-war demonstrations.

 It was reported. though without con tirmation. that Austrian troops had crossed the Italian border. A frontier border clash IS reported at Sogna, re sulting in the routing of a company of Austrians and the capture of one pris. oner.
 Another dispatch says that band of Austrian raiders who crossed the bor- der were repulsed by bayonet charge by Italian patrols.
 Forty-seven women are reported to have been killed and more than 300 wounded in rioting in Trieste, where crowds of citizens. mostly women. at tackled the governors palace. tore the Austrian flag and made a bonfire of pictures of Emperor Francis Joseph. The crowds stoned the gendarmes call ed out to suppress the riot. BarricadeS were erected in the streets, gas pipes were torn up and shops footed. Troops finally charged the mob.

to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state prison
departments il strongly urged in .
report made to the New York state
highway department by David J. Shor-
er. who was in charge Of the convict
road work in Green county. New York.
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the importance of
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has adj
vocated for number Of years and has
been instrumental in embodying into
the laws Of the state of West Viz.

the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fodrth were totally unit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory. while winter made en-
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removed from the
camp.
