SPIES DAMAGE GUNS
ON PACIFIC COAST


Port Townsend, Wash, June 2-An
attempt to- put oeaaaasf commission the
big guns at Fort Worden and Fort
Flagter, guarding the entrance to
Puget sound, was made several days
ago and as a result all visitors have
been barred from the forts in this

blocks Of four guns were removed
and the loading mechanism damaged.
The discovery followed a report
that Fort Worden had been photo
graphed in detail by persons who had
surreptitiously entered the grounds.
The photographs gave the relative
location of the big guns and the hid
den batteries.
Up to the time of these discoveries
automobiles with sightseers were
permitted to visit the elevation where
the batteries are located, but new or
ders have been issued forbidding any
person to visit the batteries without
special permit from the command
ing officer and those who receive
them must be accompanied by a

President Has Decided on Re-
ply to Germany.
CONFIDENT OF SUPPORT
Mr.. Wilson Is Drafting Answer With
knowledge That Sentiment Of
Trend Of American Policy.

Washington, June 2.-President
Wilson outlined to his cabinet the
note he will send to Germany, in
which demands for such a modifica-
ton of submarine warfare as will
guarantee the safety OF United States
citizens will be reiterated with EN-
phasis. The president has practical
ly determined on what he will say.
although a precise draft of the note
has not been prepared.
1t is practically assured that the
note will 60 forward to Berlin this
week. There is good reason for say
ing that it will meet the expectations
of the country as did the original
note concerning the Lusitania. The
president will speak in the knowledge
Of a practically unanimous public
sentiment behind him and with great.
er confidence in this respect than he
spoke on May 13.
The prevailing belief after the cab.
met meeting was that a note, prob.
ably very brief, would be dispatched
to Germany, asking whether the i'm.
perial government intends by it's an.
swer to disregard fundamental prin.
ciples of international law.
Will Sever Diplomatic Relations.
If Germany's answer indicates an
unwillingness to recognize what have
hitherto been regarded universally as
accepted principles of international
law, based on customs and laws OF
humanity, the United States probably
will sever diplomatic relations with
Germany. That view found express
sion in. quarters ciose to the White
House and was looked On as4the most
plausible trend of the American gov
ernment's policy.
Only one thing may serve to modify
or change the present program of the
president-the call of Ambassador
Won Bernstorff at the White House
This audience granted to the ambas
sador, however, will be of no effect
unless Count Won Bernstorff comes
with authority to offer concessions OF
new proposals on the part of Ger.
many That he has any such au.
thority is doubted here. The general
view is that his call will be largely OF
a personal character, that it is of his
own seeking, and not at the instiga'
ton of his government, and that he
will not be able to speak with au.
thority concerning the intentions OF
the Berlin foreign office.

.ELOR|DGE CHURCH
DEDICATION TUESDAY
Fine New Church Completed at Ed
ridge-Dedicatory Ceremonies.

Tuesday was red letter day to the
people of Eldridge. The community
around gathered at the new church
to participate in the exercises of
Dedication. The weather was favor
able and everybody happy. James
town sent out a large contingent of
friends and Congregational minis
ters from the vicinity were all there.
The room was beautified with many
flowers for the occasion.
Rev. Willard Crosby Lyon of VAL
ley City preached a strong sermon
from the text of Genesis 43:5, "Ye
shall not see my face, except your
brother be with you" His thought,
which he most strongly emphasized,
was that the church is for more than
personal religious culture. Every
one who would please the Master
must be interested in his brother and
help make successful and good
man of him.
The prayer of dedication was given
by Rev. Frank Atkinson of SanbOrn,
and the act of dedication was led by
the pastor, DR.. Phillips, with re-
sponses by the people. A choir un-
der the leadership of Mrs. j. D. Ogil-
vie presented several pleasing selec-
tions and Arthur Lawrence, who has
acted as pastors assistant for the
past two years, sang Face to Face. I"
Hon. Richard Pendray recited
something of the strenuous task of
the building committee and gave
strong exhortation to the community
to make good use of the new build
ing. B. G. Dunlop reported the
financial condition. The lots cost
$12O. The building $3,40O and the
furnishings s400, making a total Of
over $500. The bills are all paid
except $500, which will be furnished
by the Congregational Church Build
ing society. OF this, $500 is loan
and there are unpaid subscriptions
almost sufficient to cover this loan.
A liberal offering was given to Sc
cure trees, horse sheds and other
necessary comforts.
Alfred Lawrence was a very hap
py man when he gave his personal
"reminiscences of the 35 years re-
ligous work which has been carried
on in Eldridge, beginning with a
Sunday school conducted by the
sainted Mrs. f. f. Jones.
Congratulatory speeches were made
by Superintendent f. H. Stickney of
Fargo, Hon. J. A. Buchanan of Bu-
chanan, Rev. George Atkinson of
Dawson, w. E. Boise of jamestown
and Rev. E. f. Saunders sent a
hearty letter of greeting and remin-
iscence of the work he did on this
field in 1895. There were very in
| teresting "reminiscences of the late
Harry Cornwall and L. d. Townsend,
former leading citizens of that vicin-
| ity, and their families.
Other pastors participating in the
services were Rev. H. c. Crellin Of
Buchanan and Rev. A. r. BetZ of
Cleveland. The pastors solution of
the success of the work was that
the people had mind to work.
The new building, located south
of the Northern Pacific railway
tracks and facing east, is of frame
structure with full basement, built
Of cement; dimensions are 32 by
4S feet. The main auditorium will
seat over $50 people. The basement
has a convenient kitchen and dining
room. The building is heated by
hot-air furnace. 1t was erected by
