BERLIN BELIEVES
CRISIS PASSED
German 0ffiCiaIdom Regards
Reply as Fully Meeting Plea
of PreS't Wilson For Human
ity PrinCi Piles.

BERLIN (via Amsterdam), July 10.
General sentiment in official Ger
man circles today is that the reply to
the second American note Will re-
move all danger of a crisis in the rela-
tiOns between Germany and the
United States. OtticialdOm regards
the reply as a document that meets
fully the plea of Pres't Wilson for the
observance of the principles Of hu-
manity in the war.
While the details Of the note differ
in some respects from the forecasts Sc
cured before the final draft was pre-
pared the main features remain
unchanged. 1t promises to prevent
the imperilling Of American lives up
on neutral ships and to prevent inter
ference with American ships used in
lawful commerce.
The reply upholds the sinking OF
the liner Lusitania without warning
on the ground the submarine which
destroyed the liner would have court
ed destruction otherwise. Full resDOn-
sibility for submarine attacks upon
merchant shipping is placed upon
England in this paragraph:
Distinction Wiped Out.
I'm the most direct contradiction
of international law. all distinctions
sells have been obliterated by the order
TO British merchantmen to arm them
selves and 10 ram submarines and the
promise Of rewards therefore. and
neutrals who use merchantmen as
travellers thereby have been exposed
in an increasing degree TO all the
dangers of war"
Without directly making the asser-
ton that an explosion Of ammunition
in its cargo was responsible for the
Lusitania's sinking SO rapidly, the
reply nevertheless makes this intima-
ton, saying:
After the experience of sinking
much smaller and less seaWOrthy yes

mighty ship like the Lusitania would
remain above water long enough, even
after the torpedoing, 10 permit pas

large quantities of high explosive ma
terials deceived this expectation

NiCarauuan Minister Visits the
Plants of Studebaker and
oliver PIOW Works.

Senior Don Emilio ChamOrri, the
Nicaraguan minister 10 the United
States. who is now in this city, is
making an effort to have manufactur-
ers of South Bend establish branch
houses in his country. Senior Cha
morri spent Friday afternoon with II.
G. Spaulding. secretary Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce. inspecting the plants
of the Studebaker corporation and the
Oliver Chilled Plow Co.
After going through these two fac
tories, he spent some time with the
managers of both plants, discussing
the South American trade. Senior
Chamorri pointed out the possibilities
of the trade with hts country, as well
as all of the South American repub-
lies He said that farming was the
principal industry Of Nicaragua, which
covers an area of 1000 square miles,
and that the people are beginning 10

Before his trip through the factories
Friday afternoon, Senor Chamorri had
already gone through the plants OF the

OF other shops. At all of the places
he inspected the machinery and out

the industries now carried on in his
country. He has also spent consider

In discussing South American pros
poets. Senior Chamorri said conditions
there have been better since the
United States practically established
n protectorate over the country. This
country took over the customs collec-
tions for Nicaragua several years ago
and suppressed the revolution that was
constantly going on. Although the
Nicaraguan minister made no ref
erence to the work of the United states
he gave the impression that the ac-
ton was favored by the Nicaraguans.
Close To Shively.
Senor Chamorri regretted sen. b

condition. Sen. Shively and Senor
Chamorri have come into close rela-
tionship at Washington through the

Britain Holds Reply Worthless.

LONDON, July 10.-8ritish eXpec-
tation is that the United States WIFI
find the German reply 10 its appeal
for humanity in submarine warfare
completely unsatisfactory. The text
Of the note arrived here too late for
the morning papers, but the evening
editions display it prominently. They
declare that Germany has pointedly
ignored the demand Of the American
government that merchant vessels be
stopped and searched instead Of being
sunk without warning.
This one point alone" said an Of
fetal today, lis enough TO make the
reply worthless. 1t is a point that
Germany Is seeking 10 bargain with
the United States. From the previous
actions of the American government
we know how successful the Berlin
foreign office will be
That part of the note relating TO
the Lusitania requires no comment.
The liner was sunk by torpedoes and
not by the explosion of ammunition
on board. She was unarmed
Germany seems TO have overlooked
the fact that American government is
acting so humanely and not for the
Americans alone. The suggestion that
the American government report the
coming and going Of her ships TO Ger
many is preposterOus. 1t will meet
the scorn it deserves"

Will Await Arrival of Official
Text of Note Before CON-

WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS

State Department Circles Say
Offer to Guard Four BeIliger-
ent Ships For Americans
Would EmbaraSS.

CORNISH. n. H., July 10t-Pres't
Wilson read the press translation of
the German reply with keen interest
today, but in the absence of the Off
cial text declined to make any COM
ment.
In view of the arrival of the note
before it was expected. the president
may return TO Washington on Monday
but il is more likely that he will wait
until the middle Of next week. The
cabinet meets on Tuesday. but the
president wishes to analyze the note
carefully before he discusses it with
his official family.
The impression here is that the
German note IS evasive and an at
tempt, at quibbling that in no way
meets the demands Of the United
States. This impression has been
gained from the press version and the
official translation is awaited with the
highest interest at Harlandken House.
WHITE HOUSE MEN QUIET.
WASHINGTON. July 10.-White
House officials declined to comment
on the German reply on submarine
warfare until the official text has been
studied and discussed publicly by the
president.
Sec'y Tumulty has sent inquiries to
the summer white house at Cornish TO
ltdin MuGn + ItS l w llSOn WOuA4 AG-
turn to Washington
In state department circles it was
stated that the offer by Germany set
forth i'm the text cabled from Berlin,
to guarantee the safety of four bellig-
erent ships TO carry Americans in the
war zone under the American flag
would seriously embarrass the ad-
ministration in its anticipated further
demands on Germany for safety for
Americans at sea. 1t was believed by
officials that this offer, if borne out by
the official text, would lessen materi-
ally interest of the public in any fur
ther demand on Germany on this sub
ject.
Altogether the German note. as now
available, was stated to have been
much more carefully constructed and
TO be a far more friendly statement
than the previous one. While it holds
TO the position that Germany must
continue he submarine warfare as
long as England continues her block
ade against the shipment of food to
Germany. officials declared that the
German position was stated so per-
suasively that public sentiment in the
United States would be less determined
in its opposition TO the German view
than before this reply was received.

\ Story or the Trail

There goes Old Colonel Rere.l with the Knik mail. He is seventy tv2 years old. He's done that kind of work all his life so he thinks rery little of the danger said a bystauder at the post office as the Old Colonel disappeared over lit- tie knoll. Il hear that he has foIr hundred pounds Of mail this trip. That's quite a lead" said Forest.
 About a week later Tom Green came in With the south bound mail. When asked, Green said he had not seen RaveIl anywhere, and thought perhaps some mishap might have hc fallen him. He also reported hay iuv crossed d large snow slide at mile 2I on the Sunrise trail and said Reyell might have been caught in it, although OH insHe"- tion he had seen no signs of any man, dogs, mail, nor sled.
 A searching party at once started out and reached the place after a days hard mush over soft melting snow. The next morning the search began and along toward ten o'clock some one in falling found 8 piece of Reyells fu- cap. That wac enough. They went immediately t1 the foot of the slide and cut deep, narrow winding, paths, in hope Of finding him alive, or at least Of finding the dead body. They cut path; till even ing and had found no man dead nor alive.
 The last person was about to leave when he thought ne saw the naked elbow of the man. He gave the alarm and soon after all work ing together, they had Reveu out and rolled up in some warm blan- kets and by glowing fire. He 500 revived and was taken back to town where he lost no opportunity to Iraise the last man for rot being tco willing to give up.

Once upon a time as, MT. Rooster vas walking slowly along the road, he cLmo to q large wooden gate. On it he sDied something hanging. MT. Rooster surely thought It was q worm. So he seized it but he couldn't get it off because it was caught someway. Mir. Rooster said, My, but this is certainly a long, soft worm. He jerked, and pulled, but still could not get it loose. Suddenly it broke and MT. Rooster fell backwards still keeping hold of it. Up he got and began to pull again, hut oh, it got in his throat. He coughed it out and said, q won't try to eat anything again that looks like that" It wasn't a worm after all. It was Q scrap of yarn. 4Ir Rooster had been badly fooled.

\ Scrap of Leather

James, q poor boy or seventeen, lived with his widowed mother in the outskirts of a large city. They made a scanty living by the few farm products they raised. They owned . horse and saddle which they were trying to sell, but could not find any sale for them.
 One day James had gone to town trying to sell some vegetables, and while there, he learned that next Tuesday a big horse race was con- ing off. A first prize of five hum Ired dollars would be offered. My, he thought, that is great deal, but 1 don't suppose I could win it.. My saddle is out of repair, and be- sides I have no leather to fix it." But on his way home he thought about it, ard finally decided that if he could possibly afford it, he would buy some leather, and try any way. When he reached home he told his mother his plans. If you can use it, you may have the strap around my trunk" she said. "Just the thing" said James. Mother, I'm going to try and I'll win, too. He found that he did not need the whole strap. and used only small part of it.
 Next Tuesday,, when he left home for the race, he said to his moth CT, When l cOm3 home tonight, l will be five hundred dollars richer than l am now" Having arrived at the racing grounds, he 2ound he was just in time. There were nine other contestants beside himself. They drew themselves up in line and bang! the pistol went off and away flew the horses. The race was on!
 James found his horse would have tc do some very fast running to keep up with the others, but it was in good trim and he thought he had a pretty good show. They had 10 run four miles altogether. When within the last mile homewards, all but four had dropped out. James was among those remaining. The .ontes, grew hot now. James found his horse steadily losing. Things 2rew dizzy before him. But gather :n@ up all his strength, he urged his horse onward. When about one hundred feet away from the goal his aorse gave q sudden spurt and reached it just in front of the oth- CTS. He had won!
 And all from a little scrapN of leather" he told his mother that evening afte- he returned home.

Under the Red, White and Blue.

Under the Red, White and Blue,
 Daisy was busy tying up her dolls hair with red, white and blue ribbon for the Fourth of July. She was far too busy to see robin red breast" fly in and take the scrap of ribbon she had left. But take it he did out to his home in the old apple tree.
 The next afternoon Daisy and her mother went down town. While they were gone half a dozen boys came up.
 Look there" called the leader, a boy named Carl. "A robin just flew out of that apple tree and l see rest up there,' "A robin s egg is just what want" added an- ether boy.
 Then Carl who had been looking hard at the nest for several minutes suddenly said, Boys we cant take them. They are under the red, white and blue"
 Sure enough the little scrap of ribbon had caught on q twig, and HOW floated over the nest as if to protect it.
 "Hurrah for the red, white and blue," called a boy in the crowd.
 Then they moved away to look Tor some nest not under "Our flag.

Teacher Joins the Fray

A bunch of boys were back of the school-house watching a fight be- tween two boys of their class. It was against the rules of the school to. fight, so the boys chose this place so the teacher could not see them. When the bell rang the boys went into school and began to study. Not long afterwards one of the boys that had been fighting sent a note to his opponent. At noon they passed out and the boy with the note threw 1t at the waste-paper basket. It failed to reach the basket and lay there in full view from the teachers desk. It was torn in two once. The teach CT came in and seeing it picked it up. She threw one piece of it in the basket, and looked at the other She read as follows:
 smash your face
 after school
 This was all she could make out. The rest she could not read. She recognized the writing at once and that night after school she kept the boy in. He never fought out be- hind the schoolhouse again.

out at the rate Of about 10000 tons per
annum. The French smelters, near
the Belgian boundary, cannot, 1t Is
assumed by American operators, pro-
duce more than so per cent of their last
fun years output, reducing that item
to about $4,000 tons. Russia may be
eliminated entirely from any considera
ton, as he zinc properties in that
country are occupied by German
troops. Hollands production of abou,
1000 tons is also understood to have
practically disappeared. Thus IL
would appear that the actual shortage
will be greater than the 100000 tons
set forth in the above tabulation.
Spelter production was never SO
great in the United States, yet full ca
pacity of all the smelters has NOT yet
