OF KA|SER'S REPLY

Washington, May 6,-The Official
text OF Germany's reply to the Am
erican submarine ultimatum was re-
ceived here today and President viii
son is formulating his decision on the
important issue.
I Unless the ofsicial document differs
essentially from the press versions.
II Is a foregone conclusion that dan
ger OF an immediate break In diplo-
matice relations has passed. This
conclusion has the general approval
OF congress. the cabinet and others
OF the presidents advisers.
From the large numbers OF tele-
grams received at the White House
during the night. It appears that the
country Is satisfied that Germany
made concession precluded all pos
sibility OF break--unless Il fails to
live up to Its promises.
Germany may be said to be again
on probation. Time will tell whe-
ther II deserves this chance. accord
ing to the view Of the president.
With President Wilson'S decision.
the Lusitania case win pass into his
tory. The last obstacle In the Lust
tania negotiations will be removed
when the president approves the new
orders putting freighters and liners
in the same class.all subject to the
rules OF search and seizure before
destruction.
officials guardedly intimated that
something may result directly from
Germany's plain indication that II Is
anxious for peace. The conference
between Ambassador Gerard and the
German emperor suddenly looms
large in the minds of officials. It
had not been seriously thought that
the kaiser discussed details OF the
submarine issue with Gerard. Since
the arrival of the reply there Is a
strong belief that peace may have
played a prominent part in the con-
ference.
Germany's admission that she
twice offered to make peace and
declaration that she yields because
she believes prolongation OF the war
a calamity, these, IL not actual indi-
cations OF measiness for the future
are appeals to this country for af-
firmatiye steps that will stop the car
mage, according to the belief OF Ger
man as we'll as administration cir
cles.
1t may be said authoritatively that
some persons close TO the president
believe he should tentatively sound
out the belligerents on the question
of possible peace and the result of
the German note.
One of these said:
I'VE hear in this no voice OF the
braggard. or the bully, but the voice
of nation sick and tired Of the
endless fight 1t is the heart and
soul of Germany speaking what it

states these reasons for a mothers

/. 1t saves money. Taxpayers
now pay from $40 10 SIS a month 10
support each child in a public insti-
tuition. Mothers are fitted by nature
to take care of their children.
2. Children raised in institutions
are expected TO return to family life
some time. If they marry they will
not know how to keep house, and
their failure may become an expense
TO the taxpayers.
Child poverty produces many
criminals The measure will help
reduce child poverty.
4. The state pays in the end
morally and financially, for the neg
lect Of a child. The poverty child
degenerates and becomes a charge

Work Train DeraiIed.

About 5 p. m. Saturday evening the
news reached this city that a gravel
train had gone thru the big iron trestle
over the Minnesota river north of
town. Immediately the people from
town began going out, by auto and
afoot. Tie first reports that sixteen
cars had gone down and that one man
had been badly hurt were groundless.
The real facts were that a draw bar
had been pulled and the forward
trucks from one of the cars and the
rear trucks from another had been
knocked out. Before the engineer
could stop the engine he had gone
half way across the bridge, pulling one
of the wrecked cars over and destroy.
ing all the ties. Traffic was tied up
until 7:45 Sunday night. It is esti.
mated that about $500 damage was
caused to the bridge, which, if one
would figure the other loss and the
wages of the men employed, would
bring it close to the thousand mark
On Sunday night a car on the work
train was demolished when another
train bumped into it thru a mis-read
signal. Two men who were in the
car at the time were injured slightly
and had to be taken to the hospital

ials from newspapers in all the large
cities of the East where he had ex-
hibited his work. In 1892 he published
a work called Homes of Our Fore
fathers in Massachusetts" containing
reproduction of water color sketches
Of a number of the early Massachu-
setts homes. This book has a fine
portrait of the artist as frontispiece.
Thanks to the son, the writer has
copy of this work in his library, which
he prizes very highly.
The time allotted to this paper will
not permit any lengthy extracts from
the Whitefeld Manuscript.
We will cite only one paragraph
where he wakes enthusiastic and
quotes poetry over the natural beauty
of the Kandiyohi location:
"The next morning we were up be-
fore daylight and after a very poor
attempt at breakfast, the committee
appointed for the purpose went off, to
lay out the town of Kandiyohi, while
the rest packed up every thing, and
made ready to start on the return Of
the others.
"The situation of Madison in Wis
consin has been highly and deserved
ly praised, but let any person who is
acquainted with that place visit the
site Of Kandiyohi and he will acknowl-
edge that the latter bears away the
palm beyond all common desirable or
delightful locations. Space will not
permit me to picture it's beauties, and
if l we're to do so the half would not
be believed. Suffice to say that from
nearly the whole town, the five charm
ing lakes, undulating beautiful is
lands. prairies, and verdant woods d.
| versify the scene; and l cannot imag-
inc any natural feature except distant
mountains could possibly add to the
beauty Of the picture.
"'Ah, what scene were here"
cried,
For princely pomp, or churchman' 8
pride
On this bold brow, a lordly tower,
In that soft vale, a lady's bower
On yonde' meadow, far away
The turrets of cloister grey;
How bithely might the bugle horn
Chide on the lake, the lingering morn,
How sweet at eve, the lovers lutte
Chime when the graves were still and
mute
And, when the midnight moon should
lave
Her forehead in the silver wave
How solemn on the ear would come
The holy mathis distant hum.'"
