is accepted it will be necessary to
clarity the situation.
In his conference with Secretary
Lansing today the German ambassador
discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of a post
ponement of the effective date of the
new submarine orders to give oppor-
tunity for negotiations. Secretary
Lansing did not commit himself and
made no comment
When Won Bernstorff came from
Lansing's office after visit of less
than ten minutes, he said:
Gentlemen, ] refer you to the sec
rotary of state" Almost at the same
time Lansing sent out this message:
81 have nothing to say"
Won Bernstorff presented formally
the draft of the agreement and it is
understood was informed that it could
not be accepted as final until it had
been submitted to President Wilson.
The indications were that it seemed
satisfactory to Secretary Lansing
AS now drawn and formally signed
by the German ambassador, the agree
ment is in reply to the last American
note.
1t begins with reference to
the formal assurances given by Ger
many last September that submarines
would not sink unresisting liners
without warning and regard for the
safety of life aboard and that the in
structions to submarine commanders
were so definite as to allow no mis-
understanding. 1t then states that the
submarine warfare around the British
isles was a reprisal for what is char
acterized as the inhumane" blockade
of Great Britain to starve the cen
trail powers, and then promises indem-
nifty for Americans lost on the Lusi-
tania and expresses profound regret
for their deaths.
1t goes on to say that the German
government, recognizing liability" for
their loss, makes the proposals con-
tanned in the draft submitted today
and then deals with the question OF
reprisals against others than enemy
subjects. The change which the Ber-
lin foreign office has made in the
wording of the latter proposal has not
been publicly disclosed. but from the
air of optimism which prevailed to-
day there was a general impression
that the chances of its delaying the
negotiations were slight

TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
HOLDS INTERESTING SESSION

Important business in the nature of
amendments to the bylaws of the
Twentieth Century club was transact
ed at the meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Another item of interest was the re-
port of the treasurer to the effect
that S111.25 was taken in at the Co
lonial ball Friday night This was
satisfactory news to the members,
who, though not intending this event
as a money-making affair, are desir-
Gus of increasing their funds with a
view to the entertainment of the state
federation, which will meet here Oc-
tober 10, IL and u. At the next

In the hands of the Juniors, under
the direction of Mrs. w. +. Pike, the
program of Tuesdays meeting was
especially good. piano solo by Miss
Dorothy Wright was encored and then
followed a reading by Miss Irene
Woods, which was so well appreciated
that she was compelled to give a sec
ond number

solos, accompanied by Miss Teasdale
and then came an amusing sketch by
Mrs. Olson and Miss Mildred Conway

OFFICIALS SAY HOG
PRICES WILL SOAR

Seatle.-The prediction of U. S.
government officials that the hog
market of the country was sure to
show signs of strength at an early
date has come true. Hogs are now
bringing $7.75 in the Puget Sound
market and 1t is generally conceded
that shipments are so limited that it
will be necessary in another forty or
sixty days to begin shipping from
Missouri river points Freight and
shrinkage will add about $1.20 to the
price. with the result that it is pre-
dicted the price will be SO or even
more by early spring. The govern
ment has always contended that 1t Is
serious mistake for growers to even
temporarily abandon the raising Of

ReSerre Boards Warning

Termed "Rude Attempt"

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Morning

of chagrin among practical New York
bankers regarding the federal reserve
boards caution to banks to investing

The newspaper discusses at length
the possibility Of the reserve boards
action being connected with the peace

that the development occurred at this

CHEMUNG SUNK BY
AN AUSTRIAN BOAT
Difficulty of Collecting InsHr-
aRce on Lost Ship Is WOr-
rying Officials.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. - Consul
Putnam at Valencia, Spain, reported
to Washington today that the Che
mung was sunk by gunfrc and tor
pedo from an Austrian submarine ~
miles east OF Cape De Gata. Spain.
No additional details have been re-
ceived officially.
Interest here Centercd today on the
prospect of extreme difficulty in col
lecting damages for the loss Of the
steamer now that II is known that she
was sunk by an Austrian war craft.
Many authorities have held that under
international law a boat carrying over
80 per cent contraband could be sunk
If it were impossible for the captor
to get il to port.
Under the terms of the old Prus-
sian American treaty Germany has
agreed to pay for American vessels
sunk under such circumstances. AS
Austria is not IN any way bound by
that treaty the issue would have to
be made on a disputed phase of in
ternational law.

DOGS GUARD CAR,
EVEN FROM OWNER
Bull "Pups" Refuse to Let Mo-
tOrist Climb Into OUn
Auto; Fine Insurance.

A medium Of absolute automobile
protection against theft YVES discoV-
cred Wednesday afternoon by the
owner of a high powered Henry"
who approached his car as the thirty
minutes allowed for parking on Third
was drawing to close for the pur-
pose of driving around the corner and
avoiding arrest for violation of the
ordinance.
When the car was parked in front
Of the Chamber of Commerce building
the driver for some cause left the rear
door open and upon his return found
two white bull dogs in full charge.
An attempt to dislodge the dogs from
their entertainments on the rear seat
brought forth gutteral growls and a
declaration of actual hostilities when
one of the dogs was grabbed by the
collar.
After calling a policeman who like
wise learned the utter hopelessness
of removing the animals without a
heavy artillery charge an enterprising
man stepped up behind the car and
by considerable maneuvering was
able to read the name inscribed on the
dogs collars.
A telephone communication with
the owner of the two dogs brought the
information that the dogs had nc
aversion to an automobile ride, in
fact that was their long suit and
that after a short spin they might
be willing to dismount without un-
necessary coaXing.
When informed that the driver eX-
pectcd to make a long trip the owner
promised to hurry right down and
remove his pets which he did. Owing
to the impossibility of dislodging the
dogs until their master arrived Traf-
fic Sergeant Jim Pilkington revoked
the thirty minute parking law so fan
as the Ford was concerned.

Feels Like a Different
Woman and Is Entirely
RelieUed.

Tulsa Woman S6 Years Old
Would Almost Pass AWay
at Times With Smother
Spells; Suffered for
Years.

There IL probably no woman In
Tulsa whose endorsement of any per-
son or proposition would be or more
genuine value than that OF Mrs. X. M
Morgan, age So, and mother OF the
head bookkeeper for the Tulsa Clty
Watorwcrks, living at 2O7 North Ei-
wood street, and is a woman of con-
servative speech, but one whose word,
when once given, is never questioned
by those who know her.
Mr.. win 4. Smith, son of Mrs.
Morgan. is greatly impressed with ms
mothers experience with Orgatone
ard does not hesitate to say that she
has obtained complete relief and that
she believes it to be n remarkable
medicine. A few days ago Mr.. Smith
dropped in to Roy II. Getman's Drug
store for more of the medicine and
toid~the following almost remarkable
story:
INV mother with whom | have
madc my home for years, has been n
sufferer from stomach trouble and a
gaseous condition of the intestines
ard at times | had fear OF her passing
away in one OF her smotherlng Spells
that wouNi often come on her and
they were very severe for one of her
age as she Is past eishty-five years
old Then those hoada ches she would
suffer with were awful at times and
everything we would near or we Would
try, but the best of them was only
temtorary relief and did her practi-
cally no good at all until Orgatone
was recommended to me, and | knew
seve,al prominent people who had
used II with good results, so | de-
ciaed 1t was something out of the
ordinary.
After trying out the course, my
mother has improved in every way
and really it is almost unbelievable
the transformation that has come
over her for one of her age. If any
one would have told me that medi-
cine could have accomplished what
