An attempt was made by his attor-

he had done toward caring for the
boy in the way of securing physi-
clans, nurses and hospital care and
paying for the same. Counsel for
plaintiff, however. objected on the
grounds that they we're not asking
for any damages for expense in car
ing for the boy and Judge Phelps up
held the objection. Colonel Raley,
however. out of hearing Of the jury,
read into the records what the de-
fendant would have testified had he

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The
United States government replied yes
terday to the recent memorandum in
which Count Won Bernstorff the Ger
man ambassador, declared that 'if
the American people desire to observe
true neutrality, they will find means
to stop the exclusive importation OF
| arms to one side, or at least to use
this export trade as a means to up
hold the legitimate trade with Ger
many especially the trade in food
stuffs"
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan. was drafted at
the state department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
False Impression Suggested.
After pointing out that the Ian
guage used by Count Won Bernstorft
is susceptible of being construed as
impugning the good faith of the Uni
ted States in the performance of its
duties as a neutral" the note takes
I IL AuI ktdlANu lAAdN Nh cuNH AlAAHtAtiN
tion was intended" and suggests that
evidently the German ambassador sis
laboring under certain false impress
sions."
1t is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with
any one of the belligerents Cannot
wisely be made a subject of discussion
with a third government" such cor
respondence between the United
States andrthe allies as has been pub
lished shows 'the steadfast refusal
of the government "to acknowledge
the right of any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea inso-
far as they affect the rights and in
terests of neutrals."
Embargo Held Unneutral.
The attitude of the United States
on the question of expectations of
arms is rested-namely, that to place
any embargo on arms during the pro-
gress Of a war would be "a direct vi
olation of the neutrality of the Unit
ed States.' The note refers to the
spirit of friendship which the United
States desires always to manifest to-
ward Germany and its people, and
concludes with the declaration that
the neutrality of the United States is
founded upon the firm basis of con-
science and good will"
The communication was delivered
by messenger to Count Won Bernstorff
and by mutual arrangement with the
German embassy, the state depart
ment made it public last night.

BY supt. G. G. Fites.

The last of the Institute Series
of Meeting for the Avon District
is dated for March Goth, and that
for the Springfield on March 9th.
Programs are being prepared and
pleasant meetings are assured,
Every teacher in Bon Homme
County is expected to take part in
the third and hast series of Insti-
tnte meetings. Their work is to
write a written review of the read
ing circle books. Teaching the
Common Branches is to be re
viewed with at least 300 words
while Hygiene of the School Child
will require at least 500 words to
satisfy the requirements Of this
office. ~.
The Tyndall District Institute was
postponed last Saturday OH &C
count of the deep snow. With the
consent OF the weather man we
hope to be able to hold the meet
ing this coming Saturday. The
county superintendent will not be
present, however, as his presence
is required at the Scotland Meet
ing, which is regularly scheduled
for that date.
Every teacher having seventh
grade pupils in school this year
will receive provided there is
mail service) a set of examination
questions this week. These ques-
tions should not be opened until
March 18th and then in in the pre-
sence of the pupils. A good plan
would be to let the pupils open the
envelope for themselves, This
feature would have a tendency to
insure a healthy school spirit
among the pupils of the entire
school. =

The past few weeks have been

However, we have had this in
mind when sending out truancy

mind that gross negligence of the

bring trouble for them from this

Gregory, S. D., March 5.-The
local land Office has been advised
of the completed enactment by con
gress of the 320.acre homestead
law, applying to South Dakota.
A few years ago the right to make
32O-acre homestead entries on OPP
en- lands in various western sec
tions was given by congress, but
at that time South Dakota was ex.
empted from the privileged, large,
~ thru the efforts of the states
own representatives in congress.
The bill now passed extends the
32O-acre privilege to all open home
stead land in western South Dako-
to. The bill providing for 640-ac.
re grazing land homesteads was
not completed, and over to the
next session.

Farraaut,a WAY.

While preparations were being made
for the attack on New Orleans, the
navy department came into possession
Of complete set Of plans Of the de-
lenses Of that city. Not only were the
positions Of the forts laid down, but,
also, the submarine mines. as well as
the system Of torpedoes, and the re-
serve of war vessels which were to CO.
operate with the land batteries. No
time was lost in sending it to Admiral
Farragut, but no acknowledgment ever
reached the navy department. Mean
while the passage Of the forts was ef-
fected. New Orleans captured, Admit
raj Farragut in due time went north.
Proceeding to Washington, he at once
called at the navy department.. where
he received hearty congratulations
upon his brilliant successes. While he
was in the department prominent off,
cial referred to the plans of the de-
fenses Of New Orleans and asked the
admiral IL he had ever received them.
"Yes," he replied, II received the plans,
but on examination I found out that,
according to them, New Orleans could
never be taken. So tore them up and
threw them into the waste basket
