VISIT OF GERMAN SUBMARINE
TO THE UNITED STATES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Long Branch, N. 1.-THE announce
ment that Secretary of State Lansing
would confer with the President on
the submarine raids confirmed the i'm
preston here that the American gov
ernment considered the attacks on
vessels off the American coast by a
German submarine as fraught with
grave possibilities.
At the same time it was made clear
that there is nothing in the reports so
far received to show that international
law or the earlier promises of Ger
many have been violated. Concern
over the situation centered chiefly
about the possibility of what might
happen II the submarine attacks are
continued.
The position of the American gov
ernment and it's determination to
make full investigation before act
ing was made clear in the following
statement given out by the President:
"The government will, of course,
first inform itself as to all the facts
that there may be no doubt or mistake
so far as they are concerned.
"The country may rest assured that
the German government will be held
to the complete fulfillment of it's
promises to the government of the
United States. have no right now
to question it's willingness to fulfill
them"
London.-The London newspapers
generally devote leading editorials to
the visit of the German submarine to
the United States. The Pail Mall Ga

merous ships off the American coast
the government and people of the
United States have thus had an init
mate reminder of the character and
habits of the craft which had received
their hospitality"

MEMORIAL DAY
Ranks of Veterans crow
ing thinner. Fine Pro-
gram given in honor of
our dead.

Through the city crowded highways,
Marches on the color-bearer;
White his hair falls to his shoulders,
White as Colorado's mountains.
Proud ne bears aloft the standard,
Proud he bore it in the Sixties;
Kenesaw and Lookout Mountain,
High above the clouds it floated.
Heed We, young men, heed the lesson,
Keep untarnished all its glory;
Glory kindling first at Concord d,
Spreading west TO far Malolos.
Heed ye! Heed ye we'll the lesson!
Grow not up unframed for battle;
Sell ye not your precious birthright
For a sordid mess Of pottage.
Chant our epic, fellow-patriots,
Firmly weld the new-come aliens;
Tell Of Prescott, Hale and Reynolds,
Custer, Benchley and young Cheney.
Thus will all the wars and rumors
Fade away as fades the twilight,
True to all our fathers died for,
Firm we'll march sdown the ages"
As Tuesday was Memorial day, the
observance OF this annual event, and the
we'll arranged program as announced
last week was most fittingly carried oft
10 a way that did hoEor, not only to the
members Of the CT. A. r., but also to
the citizens of Paw Paw and vicinity.
The Memorial sermon on Sunday morn.
ing by Rev. G. II. Heaton was master
piece and thoroughly enjoyed by the
large audience present.
The exercises of Tuesday, Memorial
day, were of such an inspiring and inn
pressive nature as will long linger in the
hearts and minds of all who participated
in any way to make the day such
notable and signal success One of the
most beautiful and inspiring sights of
forenoon was the line of march COM
posed of the hundreds of pupils of the
public school in charge of all the teach
ers, headed by the High School band, in
which parade the old soldiers and W..
Il. G. we're given a prominent place, to-
gether with the Two divisions OF Boy
Scouts. The parade ended at the city
water works, where impressive services
were conducted by the w. Z. G in honor
OF the naval heroes of the Civil war, at
ter which large concourse OF citizens
bearing the old soldiers aud others in
automobiles proceeded to the beautiful
Prospect cemetery, where the ritual
services were held in honor Of the fallen
comrades, and the decorating Of their
graves
In the afternoon a large crowd assem-
bed at the opera house, where the pub
lie exercises Of the day were completed
At this time the music was furnished
by the High School orchestra and by
the Baptist church quintet, together
with readings and other exercises al
previously announced. The address o.
the day was delivered by Rev. f. A
Shape OF the Christian church, whose
effort was of an unusually high order
fully in keeping with the occasion anc
thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Al
honor to the few remaining members o
the G.. A. r., whose memories we shall
ever cherish, together with those wh'
have passed on to the land OF perennia
flowers and the life triumphant.
Peace on the open seas.
In all our sheltered bays and ampl
streams;
Peace where'er our starry banner gleams
And peace 10 every breeze.

TO RULE BLOCKADE
British Government Decides to Put
 Entire Responsibility on One Man.

London, Feb. 24-The government, through the Marquis of Lansdowne, announced in the House of Lords to- night that it had decided to turn over all matters connected with the block ade of Germany to one man, who would rnk as full-edged cabinet minister. It is understood the new post will go to Lord Robert Cecil, who since the formation of the coalition government, has been under secre- tary for foreign affairs. He will re- tain this post. joining the cabinet as blockade minister.
 The new minister will be charged with the administration of the orders in council regulating the blockade, as well as responsibility for the general policy and practice of the government with respect to trade passing to or from neutral countries.
 Lord Robert Cecil is a lawyer of wide experience and a young man, as members of the British cabinet go. In the Foreign Office he has been inti- mately concerned with the blockade operations, particularly in their rela- ton to the complicated matters touch ing belligerent and neutral rights His elevation to the cabinet will give the Unionists another representative in the coalition councils.
 The whole question of the blockade was threshed out at considerable length in the House of Lords tonight, Baron Sydenham and Baron Beresford making the principal appeal for a stricter blockade, while the Marquis of Lansdowne and Baron. Buckmaster defended the government
