FEDERAL MONEY
PROPERLY USED
COLONEL BERsEY DENIES THAT
SENATOR BoRAH's CHARGES
ARE TRUTHFUL.
HOW FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED
The War Department ADULTS the Ac-
counts and Efficiency Is tho
object Of Expenditure.

Lansing - Whatever government
funds are being spent on the Michigan
National guard are not being wasted,
embezzled or stolen as charged, but
are applied to make the state militia
efficient according to the standards set
by the war department itself" was
the reply made by Colonel John s.
Bersey. adjustant general of the Mich
igan National Guard to the attack on
the militia by Senator Borah in the
United States Senate Saturday.
How the money of the government
could be wasted | cannot see. AS soon
as the governor of the state names a
disbursing officer, we notify the war
department and all moneys come
through him. In Michigan. the dis
bursting officer has Away been Colonel
Walter Rogers, our quartermaster gen
eral. The money which he gets is
spent for whatever the war depart
ment says we ought to have, and do.
We spend it all in an attempt to fol-
low out their orders to reach a high
degree of efficiency All OF Colonel
ROGERS accounts are duulltu ny luS
expert auditors of the war department
and If anybody can slip anything past
them. he is a wonder"
Colonel Bersey also commented
rather freely upon statements said
TO have been made by Quartermaster
Walter r. Stevens, of the Thirty
Third Regiment of the Michigan Ma
tional Guards. in which he said that
the guard had no wagons, harness nor
horses and could not be ready for field
service in months because of the lack
of these things.
'Tn the first place we have all the
wagons the regulations require. Many
are stored at Grayling and some OF
them are scattered throughout the
state. The same is true of harness.
1t may be possible that Quartermaster
Stevens is not aware of this. There
is much equipment stored here in
Lansing and in Grayling that officers
in the regiments do not know Of.

WILSON'S LAST
WORD ON U-BOAT
DOCUMENT REVIEWS oERMANY's
SUBMARINE ACTIVITIES OF
NEARLY A YEAR AGO.
WANTS CHANGE OF POLICY
The Document Is the Most Emphatic
and Vigorous Diplomatic Paper
the President Has Approved.

Washington The communication
which he has drafted as the last word
of the United States TO Germany on
the submarine issue was completed by
President Wilson.
The document reviews Germany's
submarine activities since the Lusi
tania was sunk almost a year ago,
and makes plain that only an immedi-
ate change in the German policy can
make possible the continuance of
friendly relations between the two ma
tions.
As the president was putting the
finishing touches to the note official
word was received by the state de-
partment that the lives of two Ameri-
cans had been endangered by an at
tack on the Russian bark Imperator
by an Austrian submarine.
Carl Bailey Hurst. American consul
general at Barcelona, Spain. who sent
the report, said the attack was without
warning One of the American citi-
zens on board was wounded by shrap-
mel shells fired by the submarine.
full investigation OF the incident
was ordered at once by the state de-
partment In the consulgeneraps re-
port is borne out, it is probable that
representations similar to those about
to be made to Germany will be sent
to Austria-Hungary.
As soon as the president had finish
ed the communication TO Germany, he
directed that Senator Stone, chairman
Of senate foreign relations committee,
be invited TO the White House in or
der that he might be informed of the
intentions of the administration. Sen.
stor Stone probably will see the pres
ident before the cabinet meeting.
Mr.. Wilson himself was the only
official familiar with all the details OF
the document, but it was learned au-
thoritatively that it is the most en-
phatic and vigorous diplomatic paper
the president ever has approved
Attacks without warning by sub
marines on merchant vessels since
Germany gave notice that ships car
rying guns would be considered as
vessels OF war have been closely
studied by the president with the re-
sulting conclusion that promises made
by Germany have not been followed.
When the preparation OF the case of
the United States was begun il was
found that 65 vessels have been re-
ported officially and unofIicially as
having been attacked without warning
by German submarines within the
past few weeks. Official reports have
not confirmed all these incidents, how
ever, and therefore all will not be in
cluded.
The attack on the channel steamer
Sussex, carrying more than a score Of
Americans. has been included in the
evidence of the United States as one
OF the strongest proofs Of Germany's
failure to adhere to her promises.

THE MURDER OF JOHN LONDON
Mrs. Jennie Flood May obtain Her
Liberty Soon Through Executive
Clemency

Grand Rapids-That Mrs. Jennie
Flood, So years old. sentenced TO life
Imprisonment Is years ago for the
killing of John London, may obtain
her liberty soon through executive
clemency, is the hope of relatives and
friends here. For more than a year
Representative Roy NJ. Watkins has
been appealing to Gov. Ferris in be-
half of the woman.
Mrs. Flood has maintained her in
nocence from the beginning. But the
evidence against her was overwhelm-
ing, though circumstantial.
John London, a hired man on a
farm near Cannonsburg, was killed
by a shotgun. The killing was re
ported to the sheriffs force as an
accident and a coroner accompanied
by a deputy sheriff went to the Flood
home. At first they accepted the ex-
plantations of Mrs. Flood and other
members of the family, and started
back TO Grand Rapids convinced that
London had been accidentally killed
During the stop at Cannonsburg for
dinner, however, some doubts arose
and the officers returned and made a
more detailed investigation. II trans
pired that London had been slain and
Mrs. Fluood was arrested, tried and
convicted.
