Herbert Green, owner of a livery
barn, informed Mayor Robbins today
that the automobile fever ia so preva.
lent in this community that even pa

it. People who have been renting
horses and rigs at local livery barns
this summer seem to think that a
horse can be driven Just about as far
and Just about as fast as an automo-
bile" he Indignantly declared.
Green was the prosecuting witness
against Charles Mundhenk, II, who

Mundhenk pleaded guilty to a charge
Of cruelty to an animals and was fined
IS and costs. He was told that if he
had been older he would have received
a much sitter fine.
Mundhenk drove the horse to Modoc
and then back to Hagerstown, where
the animal gave out. The distance is
about fifty miles. The animal is still
in such an exhausted condition that
it can not be returned to this city.
The police are looking for some col

twenty miles a few days ago, with six
of them riding in the buggy. The
horse, owned by another local livery

DISCUSS CONTRACTS
TO HANDLE MAIL TO
ENGLAND FROM j. s.

LONDON, Aug. 1s-The British
post Office has been for some time
in doubt whether the Washington gov
eminent, being opposed to the policy
of ship subsidies adopted by previous
administrations, would continue the
existing contract for the carriage of
mails. The British embassy at Wash
ington now reports that the United
States postmaster-general has decided
to renew the contract.
The present contract, which was
entered into ten years ago, expires
on October IL, and tenders are being
invited for a renewal of the service on
the basis of Ave years contract and
the payment of special mileage rate
for the carriage OF mail matter.
The invitations to submit tenders is,
in the present circumstances, more or
less formality, inasmuch as the Amer
lean line is said to be the only line
which is properly equipped to perform
the service. A condition is that four
steamships of the first class, with &C
commodation for the mourning Of
heavy guns, shall be placed at the dis.
posal Of the Navy Department in time
OF war. The conditions will be contin-
ued in the new contract. No change
of route is contemplated.

.PATSY'S PHILOSOPHY
EXPRESSED IN SIGNS

Patsy has erected some signs In his
concession tent, and "sez" on these:
Money talks, but always says
goodbye"
Its well enough to hope but don't
loaf on the job"
"A good way to get the lasting re.
gard Of an Irishman is to give him
homething for nothing"
"One way to avoid spending money
foolishly is to never have any"

isn't always welcome"

to pawn the family plate"

ing Under False Impressions"
Washington, April pa direct no.
tification TO Germany that the United
States will not place any embargo
upon the export of arms and ammu |
milton and a sharp reproof to Count
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, are contained in an
answer to a remarkable outgiving by
the count, full responsibility for which
had been accepted by the German
government
The fnal draft of the American re
ply was written by President Wilson
on his own typewriter
In the beginning the note says the
German ambassador in his communi
cation omits to discrss many things
he would have been expected to men
tion and mentions things that are
hardly appropriate for discussion be-
tween Germany and the United States.
With regard to Bernstorff's refer
ence to the course pursued by this
country with regard TO British inter
ference with our trade, the note says
his long experience in international
affairs would have suggested to him
that relations between two govern
ments cannot be made a subject OF
discussion with a third government,
which cannot be fully conversant with
the facts
The reply said it was hoped the
American government had made its
position clear as regards neutrality,
but was perfectly willing to state it
again. This was all the more neces-
sary because Bernstorff was told his
note was susceptible of being con-
strued as impugning the good faith
of the United States in performance
of its duties as a neutral.
Entertains False Impressions.
The note takes it for granted that
no such implication was intended, but
says it was evident Bernstorff was
laboring under false impressions.
I'm the first place." says the note.
this government has at no time and
in no manner yielded any one of its
rights as a neutral to any one of the
belligerents.
II is pointed out that it admitted
the right of visit and search of YES
sells for contraband of war, and ad-
mitted the right of blockade when
rightly maintained and exercised
Beyond these well known rights of
In the next place it is pointed out
that the government without success
tried to get England and Germany to
make mutual concessions with regard
to the measures they adopted towards
each other on the seas.
This America did not as a right,
but as a friend of both parties 1t is
regretted Bernstorff did not see fit to
mention this. AS regards Bernstorffs
reference to American sale of arms
the note points out that any change
! at present in American neutrality
laws, which would affect unequally
the relations of the United States
with the belligerent nations, would
he an unjustifiable departure from
strict neutrality The placing of an
embargo on the export of arms would
be such violation.
In conclusion Bernstorff is told the
neutrality of the United States is
founded upon the firm basis of con
science and good will.
