Present All Facts To Congress
and Say Time For Action

WashIngton.-Germany will be held

the Channel liner Sussex and the
steamer Englishman were torpedoed
and did not strike floating mines.
This was made very plain at the
State Department, where II was ex'
planned by Secretary OF State Lansing
that only German submarines have
been operating in the waters Of the
Channel and about the British Isles.
The question under investigation Is
whether it actually was submarine
that attacked the Sussex and the Eng
lishman. II II shall be conclusively
demonstrated that 1t was, then the
United States promptly will hold Ger
many TO account.
Even II II develops that all Amerl-
cans were saved, It will not alter the
gravity of the situation, inasmuch as
the United states holds that no nation
has the right in international or hu.
name law to kill or endanger Ameri-
cans through unwarned submarine at.
tack.
Up TO the present this Government
has no conclusive proof whether tor
pedo or a floating mine was re-
sponsible. The bulk Of the evidence
points to a torpedo in each instance.
But so far II is inconclusive.

Rochester, Mimi, April 10.-Every

cially when the winner has had to

Few men have had more obstacles
to overcome or have achieved greater
fame than our former fellow towns
man, Frank B. kellogg.
THE OFFICE SEEKS THE MAN.
Rochester swelled with pride when
II learned that more than 125 repre-
sentative country editors had signed
petition or written Mr.. Kellogg to be-
come q candidate for United States
senator. 1t was one of those rare
events in modern times-a genuine
case of the office seeking the man.
Frank B. Kellogg was raised on
farm in Viola township near this city.
His boyhood was similar to that OF
thousands of other farmers boys. 1t
was a life of hard work, many sacrl-
fees and few pleasures, attending
country school in the winter and do
ing the usual farm work after school.
NEIGHBORS BELIEVE IN HIM.
His old neighbors say that he is still
the same, everyday sort of man and
that his manner is democratic and cor
dial to all.
In 1875 he began to study law in the

company and recovered from the rail-
road about 100000 for these villages
on bonds which had been illegally
taken by the railroad and sold on the

ROOSEVELT CALLS KELLOGG.
In 1906 President Roosevelt was at

practice. In consequence he put Mr..
Kellogg in charge of the most impor-
tant trust prosecutions ever tried,
among them being the paper trust,
the Standard Oil company and the
merger of the Union Pacific and South
