SOLDIERS ARREST
BANDIT SUSPECT

SALT LAKE, Utah., July 1O.-Two
men are being held by the United
States cavalry at Yellowstone park as
suspects in the wholesale hold-ups
that occurred in the park yesterday.
Dispatches early today told conflicting
reports of the robberies One mes
sage said that 125 persons were rob-
bed, many of them Shriners and school
teachers from New York state.
The latest official news of the rob-
berries came from the Oregon Short
Line railroad, saying that five coaches
we're held up by two men, one mile and
a half beyond the junction of the Glib
bon and Firehole rivers, fifteen miles
from the west entrance to the park,
where the road makes many sharp
turns. Forty-eight coaches were known
to have passed the point where the
worked. The coaches were far
enough apart to give the bandits time
to search the passengers Of one We
hicle and before the next appeared.
A Mr.. Rice OF New York, was fired
on by the robbers, when he jumped
from a coach and ran back to warn
other tourists. He was said to have
escaped unhurt. The activities of the
robbers were reported to Colonel Rob
ert, commandant of the park cavalry,
by Senator James H. Brady of Idaho,
and F. ]. Haynes an official Of stage
coach company. A troop of cavalry
was dispatched to search the neigh
borhood Of the hold-ups.

BERLIN, (via Amsterdam), July 10.
General sentiment In official Ger
man circles today is that the reply to
the second American note will remove
all danger OF a crisis in the relations
between Germany and the United
States. Officialdom regards the reply
as a document that meets fully the
plea of President Wilson for the OBJ.

While the details of the note differ
in some detail from the forecasts Sc
cured by the International News
Service before the final draft was pre-.
pared, the main features are unchang.
ed. It promises to prevent the imperil.
ling of American lives upon neutral
ships and to prevent interference with
American ships used in lawful COM
merce.
Upholds Liners Sinking.
The reply upholds the sinking of the
liner Lusitania without warning on
the ground that the submarine which
destroyed the liner would have court
ed destruction otherwise. Full re-
sponsibility for submarine attacks
upon merchant shipping is placed upon
England in this paragraph:
in the most direct contradiction OF
International law, all distinctions be-
tween merchantmen and war vessels
have been obliterated by the order to
British merchantmen to arm them
selves and to ram submarines. and the
promise Of rewards therefor. and neu-
trails who use merchantmen as travel
ers thereby have been exposed in an
increasing degree to all the dangers of
war"
Without directly making the assert
ion that an explosion of ammunition
In its cargo was responsible for the
Lusitania's sinking so rapidly, the
reply nevertheless makes this intima.
tion, saying:
Reply Asks Freedom.
after the experience in sinking

sells, it was to be expected that a
mighty ship like the Lusitania would
remain above water long enough. even
after the torpedoing, to permit pas
sengers to enter the ships boats. Cir
cumsances of a very peculiar kind, es-
pecially the presence on board OF
large quantities of high explosive ma
terials deceived this expectation"
When asked to day to summarize
the reply from the German standpoint,
a government official said:
"It demands the freedom Of the seas
for all nations"

the regulation of the laws of maritime
war Germany and America have joint
ly advocated progressive principles,
especially the abolishment of the
right of capture at sea and the pro-
lection of the interests of neutrals.
Even at the beginning of the pres
ent war the German government i'm
mediately declared its willingness, in
response to proposals of the American
government, to ratify the declaration
OF London and thereby subject itself
in the use of its naval forces to all
the restrictions provided therein in
favor of neutrals. Germany likewise
has been always tenacious of the prin-
ciple that war should be conducted
against the armed and organized
forces of an enemy country, but that
the enemy civilian population must be
spared as far as possible from the
measures of war. The imperial gov
eminent cherishes the definite hope
that some way will be found when
peace is concluded, or perhaps earlier,
to regulate the law of maritime war in
a manner guaranteeing the freedom of
the seas, and will welcome it with

During the year, probably 200, 900 people in the United States will con tract typhoid fever.
