PERE MARQUETTE TO
BE SOLD BY NOV. 10
Road Will be Disposed of Unless
BOndhOlders Make Appeal From
Court Decision.

DETROIT. July 12.-Unless the
junior bondholders OF the Pere Mar
quette railroad appeal their case to
the United States supreme court, the
road will be sold between now and
Nov. IS, according to the statement
made by Judge Arthur j. futile dur
ing the hearing of the petition for the
sale.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
road aggregates $73,00O,000, but OF
this amount. only $4S,00O,00O is eX-
pected to be realized if the sale goes
through. out of the amount realized
must first be paid $32,OOO,00O to the
underlying bOndholders, $S,OOO.OOO for
the debts of the court as receiver for
the road, and $4,000. 900 to the con-
solidated bOndholders. other securi-
ties amounting 10 SIS, 800, 600 must be
cared for out of the surplus which
Will be meagre.
The so-called junior bondholders,
however, will not be stopped from
bidding in the property and protecting
their interests in this way. They have
not indicated that they are satisfied
with the tentative plan of sale out
lined by the court and it is possible
they wifi appeal, although in such an
event a heavy bond would be required
by the court.

CANNON ASSERTS THAT
We MUST Be NEUTRAL
Uncle Joe Declares That Both
Sides in Europe Have Violated
Civilized Laws.

AMBIA. Ind. July 12.-Charging
that Germany was the first of the
European nations 10 violate the rules
Of civilized warfare, but that the
other nations had done the same
thing. Congressman Joseph G. Cannon
of Illinois said Sunday that. never
theless. the on.y position FOR the
United States to take was that of alb
sOlute neutrality.
In that connection Mr.. Cannon, par
tisan of partisans in other matters,
impressed on his chautauqua audience
that Mr.. Wilson was the president Of
all the people, and should have be-
hind MIN the unfiinching support of
the whole country.
1t was not known what his subject
would be but when he explained that
the day being Sunday, he would take
text. and that text would be He
that careth not for his own, especially
his own household, denies the faith,
and is worse than an infidel."
1t became clear that he intended to
talk Of this cOuntry's relation to the
European war.
Neither of you has observed the
law Of nations and we Will not
go to war TO make you observe them"
was the message he said he would
send TO the allies and TO the Germans
Early in the last century Napoleon.
fighting on all Europe, called TO us
France helped you gain your indie
pendence. Stand with me- But JEFF
ferson answered, Nay. nay we will
remain neutral
Others demanded that we side
with England. and there came a
mighty protest
1T is a case of the pot calling the
kettle black on the other side There
is saying that in time of war all
laws are silent The first to defy the
law of nations was Germany. 1t did
so when it invaded Belgium. But
England and France have also de-
fed it.
Many say we are not treating Ger
many fairly. If we undertake TO see
that Germany gets the cargOes ship
ped to it from this country we will be
taking sides and will cease TO be neu-
trail. The very moment we begin
meddling we will be taking sides
Are we going to raise an army Of
5000 or 100000 or more of men?
And if we take sides, which one shall
it be? Shall we fight all of them? If
we undertake that we will have our
hands full.
They began the conflict; they must
end it. In the meantime we must
stand as a great neutral nation. pre-
serving neutrality TO the end. When
the war ceases the doors of the United
states Will swing in. and the poverty
stricken of those nations will find a
home in this country, where the peo-
pie rule.
I'm the meantime, my friends. let
US remember that Woodrow Wilson is
our president-my president, though
did not vote for him He was elected
under the constitution and laws of our
country. You and l must uphold his
hands in this crisis"
