of order and of fidelity. which are the
only things that hold a community to-

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 21.-The
cabinet today decided on its answer to
Germany in response to the last Lust
tania note from the Kaiser. The COM
munication will be dispatched within
few hours, as soon as the finishing
touches have been added.
The United States takes firm stand
in this latest note to the German ma
tion. 1t announces that furher a.
tacks on passenger vessels with
Americans aboard will not only be
considered breach of international
law, but will be taken as an intended
insult to the United States.
The American note assumes that
Germany admits the principle that
all passengers must be removed be-
fore unresisting enemy vessels are de-
stroyed, therefore the United States
think it incumbent on Germany to
make its practices conform to the prin-
ciple enunciated. The text of the note
indicates that should Germany again
disregard this principle, the action
may be construed as "unfriendly," a
term, which is diplomatic usage, al
ways carried the implication of final
ity, leading often to the severance of
relations
While this communication fails to
mention the policy Uncle Sam will
pursue in case Germany ignores the
warning, still the entire note is couch
ed in the strongest terms and could
easily be considered an ultimatum bv
Germany.

Messrs. C. ]. White, ]. E. Hightower
and C. ]. Sherlock, composing the
board of city tax assessors for the
current year, are now busily engaged
with that onerous task which will hold
their attention during several weeks.
1t will be the duty of the assessors to
pass upon all returns of property, real
and personal, and assess it's true value
as returnable for taxes. Last year the
total valuation of city property was
near four and quarter million dol
lars, but i'm view of the existing gen.
eral depression and recession in land
values, it would not be surprising if
the aggregate amount this year did
not fall considerably below last years
