NEWS OF The WEEK

Rex Holden answered the telephone.
Randall explained to him that the
bank had been held up and that the
hold-up was probably on his way
down the canyon. simultaneously
he furnished Holden a description
of the bandit.
Scarcely a moment had elapsed
before a man answering the descrip-
ton of the bandit entered the livery
stable and calmly asked if a rig could
be had to drive down toward Salt
Lake. Though recognizing the ban
dit, Holden replied that he would
have one ready in a little while. He
told the stable boy to watch every
movement of the new patron while
he went away to get a shotgun.
On his way from the stable, Hoi-
den encountered Patrolman j. II.
White. They rushed back to the
stable, but there found the stable boy
pointing toward an outbuilding back
of the coal yard, where he said the
suspect had gone. Patrolman White
led the way to the toilet, threw open
a door and covered the bandit with a
revolver. A search of the premises
Patrolman White discovered the sack
of gold and currency. A few min
utes later Frank King, driver for the
coal and lumber company, found the
revolver which the bandit also had
thrown away.
A few minutes later the bandit was
removed to Bingham police head
quarters under the direction of Chief
of Police S. S. Jones. The stolen
gold and currency was in turn return
ed to the cash box in the safe, almost
within an hour of its removal.

made formal inquiry at the state de-
partment concerning the note ana
were promised a memorandum on the
subject
The American note protesting
against the British treatment OF
American commerce and insisting
upon an early Improvement came as
a complete surprise to the British
public, as there had been virtually
no intimation that any friction had
arisen between the two governments.
The plaeards posted by the London
evening papers were given over ex-
clusively to the American note and
the papers gave it the largest head
lines they have given any news dur
ing the past month. Consequently
the British people regard this as one
of the most important occurrences of
the whole war. Nothing of the kind
since President Cleveland's Venezue-
Ian message has produced such a
sensation.
The first impression of the public
is that the note may create friction
and perhaps some u~nfriendly feeling,
although the newspapers pointed out
that 1t specifically states the repre-
sensations were made in a friendly
spirit. The situation is comparable
to that which arose at the time of
the South African war when neutral
shippers began to send cargoes in

the neutral port of Delagoa bay.

United States Protests to England
Over Interference to Commerce
The United States government on
Monday dispatched a long note to
Great Britain, insisting on an early
improvement in the treatment of
American by the British
fleet.
feeling had been aroused in this
country and that public criticism was
general over u~nwarranted inter
ference with the legitimate foreign
trade of the United States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ejct made by the United States to any
of the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war. cabled to Ambassa-
dof Page. to be formally presented
to Sir Edward Grey. British foreign
secretary.
The preparation was begun a
month ago by Solicitor Cone John
son. counselor Robert Lansing and
Secretary Bryan, and finally had the
personal attention of President Will
son, who revised its phraseology
with minute care.
AS the detailed point of view of the
United States in numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizures of
of cargoes had been set forth in a
series of emphantic protests, most of
which have gone unheeded, Mondays
communication was couched in gen.
eral terms. covering the entire sub
ject OF the relations between the
United States and Great Britain as
affected by the latter's naval policy,
considered highly Objectionable by
this government.
Since France has adopted practi-
cally the same DEGREES on contraband
as has Great Britain, Mondays note
Is virtually a statement intended for
all the members of the Triple En-
tente.
The note declares at the outset
that the representations are made il
a friendly spirit, but that the United
States considers it best to speak in
terms of frankness, lest silence be
construed as an acquiescence in a
policy which infringed the rights of
American citizens under the laws of
nations.
The document points out that COM
plants or every side and public criti-
cism in the United States hold the
British policy as directly responsible
for the depression in many American
industries, a situation the serious
ness of which must be apparent to
Great Britain.
President Wilson appealed to
American shippers of noncontraband
goods, such as cotton, not to allow
their cargoes to be mixed with con.
traband articles. The United States
government, he announced. could
deal confidently with the dificultie.

Wolves T~errorize Wounded on Prus-
sian Battlefield.

The presence of the wolf as a new
terror on the ~battlefields of East
Prussian and Upland, is described in
a letetr SEN by a Russian officer to n
Riga newspaper.
Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches he found himself later to be
the only living soul left on the field
of dead. Pulling himself together,
and leaning on his sword he walked
as best he could toward the supposed
shelter of his comrades in the woods.
Just as | reached the edge of the
woods" he says. 81 stopped in ter
ror. From the distance there came
the bowling of a wolf. 1t sounded
unutterably melancholy and dreadful
in the still autumn night. Another
wolf answered, in the same long
drawn, dismal tote. The bowling
drew nearer; presently / heard it all
around me, without pause. growing
louder and more exultant every
moment.
81 am no coward. | am a sports
man and have killed many wolves in
hunts, but what ] heard that night I
can never forget. The chaotic how

II saw clearly there was no chance
of saving myself when the circle had
closed finally upon me. 7 went run

know-towards some bushes a hun
dred yards away. I reached them
and dropped to the ground. I was
resolved to fight as long as I could.
I had my loaded revolver and my
sword.
THE wolves came nearer, and their
bowling filled the night. Now they
were at the border of the wood. In
the darkness I could see dim shadows
moving slowly between the trees.
las they came out OF the wood
from different directions they drew
together into one great dark herd
and stood thus for some minutes.
Then another wolf howled-from
somewhere out on the battlefield,
and at n C the pack began to move.
Without haste, in a little deliberate
trot they went past me, past the very
clump of bushes where I was sitting
with drawn revolver. Not n turn

Out Says the
Consul Here

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1.-THE
German ambassador. Count Won Bern
storff, announced today that he had
been informed that German ceusors
had been instructed to insist on the
publication in full in Germany of war
reports issued by the allies. An an
nouncement at the embassy, quoting
the instructions of the German chief
bureau Of censors, said:
We have the less reason to fear the
unabridged publication Of reports cir
culated by our enemies, as our own
war reports are strictly according to
the truth, giving everybody the oppor-
tunity of forming a correct conception
Of the situation. The fear that the Of
fetal reports published by the enemy
might sometimes cause uneasiness is
counter balanced by the consideration
that facts can never he concealed for
any length of time and that lies are
always recognized as such in the end. -
