WILSON Determined
TO UPHOLD DIGNITY

Cornish, N. H., July 13.-President
Wilson received from the state depart
ment the official text of the latest
German note on the submarine war.
fare and Immediately began consid-
Grafton of his reply.
He instructed Secretary Lansing to
prepare a memorandum on the diplo-
matte problems involved and will not
send a %rejoinder until he has confer
red with the secretary of state.
1t became known after the president
had read the note that he does not
look upon the situation as critical,
but that at the same time he is not
inclined to underestimate the posi-
bilities Of the problem presented to
him and is determined firmly to up
hold the dignity of the United States.
That the president will continue
his German policy along the lines al
ready mapped out in the previous
notes is generally accepted here.
1t is understood that there is no
immediate prospect of a diplomatic
break with Germany and that whether
there is any future break will largely
depend upon Germany.
1t was said here that there is no
present plan for Mr.. Lansing to come
to Cornish to confer with the presi-
dent and that the president will not
hurry back to Washington.

HALF OF MINNESOTA
COUNTIES NOW DRY

st. Paul, July 14.-One-half Of the
eighty-six counties in Minnesota are
now under county option.
The two necessary to make forty
three dry counties went into this col
m at elections Monday. They are
Anoka and Freedom counties.
At the same time Goodhue and Sher.
burne voted wet. making eight coun-
ties the vets have carried since the
first county option election, April 26
The latest elections had the usual
quota of surprises. Sherburne coun-
ty,. (which sent Rev. Henry Holmes to
the legislature as the only minister of
that body and one of the leading coun-
ty OptiOnists, went wet by about thirty
votes. There are two saloons in the
county.
Freeborn county, where it was pre-
dicted the vote would be close, was
carried by the drys by 857 votes. Al
bert Lea, which has thirteen saloons,
went wet, SGT to GIT, but the vote
against saloons in other parts of the
county easily Overcame this lead of
the vets. The only saloons are at
Albert Lea, which also has a brewery
branch and three wholesale liquor
houses.
Goodhue county went wet by about
200 votes. Red Wing voted to keep
its twenty saloons and two breweries
by a majority of 1856 votes, nearly
100 more than the vets carried the
city by at the local option election
last spring. Outside of Red Wing
there are five saloons in the county
three at Goodhue, one at Frontenac
and n at Hay Creek.
AnOka county. which has only two
saloons. was won by the drys by about
200 majority.

tions to Leave Washington for the
Summer White House.

M0NTANA'S 1915 WOOL CROP
Average Price This Year 10 Is Cents
Per Pound.

Montana's wool crop for 1915 will
seach IS, 0O0,0 900 pounds, according to
experts who are in a position to know.
OF this amount two-thirds has been

be purchased without delay. The av-
erage price this year is Is cents per
pound, as against the average price
of IA cents per pound last year.

season that the price for wool would
reach 80 cents. However 28h cents
per pound was the highest price paid
and that was for a small clip. Only
5 per cent of the wool product brought
26 cents per pound, it is stated. In
former years Is cents was a good

Germany ReIterates Position In
Latest Note.
MAKES PROPOSAL TO u. S.
Will Permit Adding Reasonable Mum
Der Of Neutral Vessels to Fleet
Flying stars and Stripes.

Berlin, July 11.-Germany's latest
offer, embodied in the reply to the
United States note . regarding the
sinking Of the Lusitania and subma.
marine warfare, is Is follows:
First-Reiterated assurance that
American ships engaged in legitimate
trade will not be interfered with nor
the lives Of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
~Second-The German submarines
will be instructed to allow American
passenger ships to pass freely and
safely. Germany entertaining in re-
turn the confident hope that the
American government will see that
these ships do not carry contraband;
such ships to be provided with dis
tinguishing marks and their arrival
announced a reasonable time in ad.
vance. The same privilege is extend
ed to a reasonable number of neutral
passenger ships under the American
flag, and should the number of ships
thus available for passenger service
prove inadequate, Germany is willing
to permit America to place four hos
tile passenger steamers under the
American flag to ply between North
America and Europe under the same
conditions.
Germany declares that England's
closing of the North sea, her prOcla-
nation of a starvation blockade and
her general disregard of international
rules of warfare are alone responsible
for submarine warfare. The note rec
ognizes that this blockade imperils
neutrals, but in this connection the
declaration is made that Germany's
sacred duty" is to protect her own
people.
German Position on Lusitania.
The German position on the Lusi-
tania. set forth as follows, is deemed
especially important:
THE case of the Lusitania shows
with horrible clearness to what jeop-
ardizing of human lives the manner
Of conducting war employed by our
adversaries leads. In the most direct
contradiction of international law, all
distinctions between merchantmen
and war vessels have been obliterated
by the order to British merchantmen
to arm themselves and to ram sub.
marines and the promise of rewards
thAr0fNr or1 r0Vvfr1r vyA~
chantmen as travellers thereby have
been exposed in an increasing degree
to all the dangers of war.
IF the commander of the German
submarine which destroyed the Lusi.
tania had caused the crew and pas.
sengers to take to the boats before
firing a torpedo this would have meant
h sure destruction of his own ves-
sci. After the experiences in sinking
much smaller and less seaworthy ves-
sells 1t was to be expected that a
mighty ship like the Lusitania would
remain above water long enough,
even after the t%orpedoing. to permit
passengers to enter the ships boats.
circumstances of a very peculiar
kind, especially the presence on board
of large quantities of highly explosive
material. dissipated that expectation.
In addition it may be pointed out that
If the Lusitania had been spared
thousands of cases Of munitions would
have been sent to Germany's' ne
mics and thereby thousands of Ger
man mothers and children would
have been robbed of bread winners"
