The tenor of the German reply was
generally known before the market

There was a very large attendance
of members on the floor of the ex-

crowded with apprehensive customers.
Commission houses received countless

Several Sensational Incidents.

Meanwhile. several sensational in
cidents cropped up in connection with
the negotiations, chief of which was
the sending of message to the Berlin
foreign office by DIR. Dumba. the Aus
trian ambassador, later recalled at the
request of President Wilson. which was
represented as stating substantially
that Mr.. Bryan had intimated to the
ambassador that the vigorous tone of
the American notes should not be re-
garded in Berlin as too warlike.
The note averred that the declaration
of submarine war zone could not alb
breviate the rights of Americans on
lawful journeys, and added:
The government of the United
states. therefore, very earnestly and
solemnly renews the representations
of its note transmitted to the imperial
German government on May Is, and
relies in these representations upon
the principles Of humanity. the uni
versslly recognized understandings OF
international law and the ancient
friendship of the German nation"

German Reply in July.


To that note Germany did not reply
until July s. and the German rejoinder
was preponderately characterized by
American newspapers not as note.
but as an address by Foreign Minister
Won Jagow to the American people.
In oficial circles ii was said to come
no nearer to meeting the American con-
tentions than did the former German
note. In fact. it discussed almost
everything else, including the declara-
ton of London. the British food block
ade of Germany, the sowing of British
mines. the freedom of the seas, and
made counter proposal that both
countries agree upon a certain number
of neutral passenger steamers for traf-
nc between the United States and Eu-
rope, which the German government
offered TO guarantee against submarine
attack provided they carried no contra
band.
The nature OF the reply was regarded
officially as convincing evidence-if
any more were needed-that Germany
was holding the submarine warfare
negotiations as club over the United
states TO force this government into
some action to compel Great Britain TO
relax the food blockade. President Will
son steadfastly refused to permit the
diplomatic negotiations of the United
States with one belligerent to become
other.
Reply Unsatisfactory to q. 8.
To that the United States replied on
July 81 that the German note was very
unsatisfactory becaus IT failed to meet
the real differences between the two
governments" The United States. it de-
clared. was "keeny disappointed" with
Germanys attitude Submarine attacks
without warning endangering Americans
and other neutrals were characterized as
illegal and inhuman' and ''manfestly
indefensible'' The German retaliation
tanned. must not interfere with the rights
OF neutrals, which the note declared were
based upon principles, not expediency.
and the principles are immutable" 1t
declared that the United States would
continue TO contend for the freedom OF
the seas from whatever quarter vio-
lated. without compromise and at any
cost" The American note concluded with
these words Of warning:
"Friendship itself prompts II Uhe
United States government) to say to
the imperial government that repetition
by the commanders OF German naval
vessels OF acts In contravention of
those rights must be regarded by the
government of the United States, when
they affect American citizens, as de-
liberately unfriendiy."
The American press and other neu-
trails pronounced the American note
not only a demand that the rights of
Americans be respected, but a defense
of humanity and neutral rights gener-
ally. The negotiations at this point

FAMILY DESTITUTE
CLAIM TO HAVE HAD HOME
BURNED BY MENICANS-
STRANDED HERE.

Without money with which to pay
their railway fare or even to buy
food for themselves or their three
small children, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Parkins, who arrived here two days
ago from the Mexican border, started
this morning to walk to the city of
Ipswich, a distance of considerably
more than 100 miles. With her g.
month-old babe in the woman's
arms. the husband carrying two va
Uses and with their 6-year-old
daughter and ~4-year-old son on foot,
the family this morning walked
some two miles up the railway track,
when, thoroughly tired and disheart-
ened, they gave up the unequal task,
and made their way back to the city.
During the two days since their
arrival here, the family has roomed
at the Star restaurant. The man and
woman revealed a pitiful plight to
some whom they met here, including
ole Highland, who operates a furni-
ture store on South Egan avenue.
They told they were making some
Roadway, financially, on a farm in
Arizona, within a few miles of the
Mexican line, and that their home
and barn were burned and the horses
driven away by b%elligerent Mexicans.
They said that Mrs. Parkin's uncle
residing near Ipswich, and who. him
self, is not in affluent circumstances,
wrote them that if they could man
age to get TO Ipswich he could get
the husband a place on a ranch at a
wage of $45 a month. They raised
sufficient money to get this far they
told. To pay for their bed last night
and buy them sandwiches. sympa-
thetic citizens took up a collection
last night.
A petition was circulated this aft
ernoon and sufficient money was
raised to send the woman and her
children as far as Lake Preston. The
man will go on a freight train.

ginning and its completion. There
is a provision allowing the payment
of certain sums as the work pro
crosses, but i'm the main the bill car
ries the idea that the payments are
not really available until the work is
completed.
While Gov. Byrne holds that the
first year appropriation is available
under the acceptance until the legis-
lature meets, yet the regulations
which he has received are rather in
definite, and he will not venture to
say just what will be the regulations
as to the n of handling and
paying out of the funds until the
matter is made more clear from the
Washington bureau.
The general appropriation for the
present year is $4,000, 600, of which
the state gets $4,000, and the fund
increases at the rate of $4,000, 900 a
year until ii reaches $4,000, 600
for the country, and of this the South
Dakota ratio will probably hold
along at about the same proportion
ate figure as at present. getting up
to 100000 a year, at the end of
five years.

TURKISH MISSIONARY
MISS FENENGA WAS MADE PRIS.
ONER IN BAGDAD BY TURKS
DURING RUSS INVASION.

Gregory, Aug. Fresh from a
series of thrilling adventures in east
ern Turkey. during which she for
several months was a captive of the
Turks in the historic city of Bagdad,
Miss Fenenga, a we'll known mission
airy, has arrived here for the purpose
of visiting her brother, Teen Fen
enga, who lives just across the line
in Lyman county. Miss Fenenga has
been a missionary in eastern Turkey
for several years, and when the Rus
slams advanced on Erzerum she was
made a prisoner of war and COMPEL
ed to accompany the Turkish army
TO Bagdad, where she was held pris-
oner for several. months. During a
portion of the time that she was a
prisoner no word was received from
her, and her relatives and friends in
South Dakota feared she had met the
fate of so many missionaries in that
country. But through the efforts of
the head officers of the missionary
society in Boston and the American
government, the Turkish authorities
agreed to send her and another mis-
%sionary from the same mission
school to the United States. After
landing in New York city she lost no
time in taking a train for South Da-
kota so she could visit her brother
near here.

The fact that he was running his
car slowly, when he started TO drive
his car around the corner of Egan

6 O'Clock last night. probably saved

being a long distance dearth of mar

morning. accompanied by Alma Hep
