FAIR WARNING.

Say, friends, just between yoa
and me and the gate post, l want
to tell you a secret. After being
warned Of it by hundreds of read
ers, I have at last become convine-
ed that the price Of The Fool-Kill-
er in clubs is too low. Every day
[ get letters saying that each issue
is worth what I charge for q
years subscription. And I have
tried it long enough to see that the
low price Of ten cents year in
clubs don't give me any living
profit. If I could do more Of the
Office work myself could manage
to come out at it. But On account
Of the affection in my home | have
to hire everything done, and it
takes it all.
I know you are all good rea-
sonable folks and I believe you are
willing for me to have at least q
living out Of the business. Sc,
after long and careful considera-
ton, I have decided that it will be
necessary to put the price back
like it used to be-ffteen cents
year in clubs Of five or more.
That is only the price of three
cheap cigars, and, any person who
wants The Fool-Killer at all will
not grumble at paying fifteen
cents year for it.
But the change in price will not
go into effect for awhile yet. /
want to give everybody fair warn
ing and a chance to subscribe OF

the date Of the change ahead to

be received at the present price
up to that time, after which Il
will be fifteen cents a year In

you see and get them to hurry in
their clubs at once if they want
to take advantage Of the present
low rate. Let's swell the list to

new YORK FACES STRIKE
Engineers and Firemen on Tug Boats
Tie Up Harbor-Monster Parade
Is Held.

! New York.-May Day, featured here
by a monster parade of union workers,
also was marked by the beginning Of
new labor disorders, AS we'll as the
settlement Of several strikes.
The paraders, carrying banners and
placards, passed up Fifth avenue for
several miles and returned to Wash
ington Square, the starting point, by
way of Madison avenue. Members Of
the garment working trades predomi-
mated and later held a mass meeting
preparatory to the calling of a strike,
following the lockout put into effect by
the members.
The day began with a strike of en-.
gineers and firemen on tugboats and
lighters in New York harbor and ad.
jacent waterways. but by nightfall
many Of the owners had acceded to the
demands for increased wages and the
water traffic situation was much i'm
proved. Most of the railroad COM
panies operating tugboats granted the
demands of the men, but several
commercial companies still held out.
Many freight vessels were unable to
dock on account Of the scarcity Of
tugboats, but there was little delay
in the docking Of passenger vessels.
Negotiations between the engineers
and firemen and their employers con-
tinued and a satisfactory settlement
was expected.
About a thousand dock laborers
went on strike in Brooklyn for an in.
crease in wages, hampering the move
ment Of freight by one large docking
concern.

President Street and associates OF
the pardon board continued their task
Of sorting out cases which will be slat.
ed for formal hearing at the next quar-
terly meeting, to be held in July. The
board spent a busy time at the CAPT.
tol, where they were surrounded by
pardon documents.
This board is not only considering
applications for pardon, but has url-
%dertaken also to relieve the governor
of the work and study which petitions
for Communication of sentence on un-
fortunates whom the law has placed in
the shadow Of the gallows entails.
There was one such case before the
board, that Of Nathan Mcfarland, a
negro, who is under sentence to hang
in Carroll county for a double MUIR
der committed.
The date originally set for execu-
ton was passed some time ago, and
Gov. Bilbo granted a respite for sixty
days, which limit has about expired.
An extension, OF this respite is
sought in order to give those who are
crying to a v the negro further time
in which to perfect the appeal for
clemency. The case will be heard again
at the July meeting.

Columbus, N. M.-Heavy rains in
Northern Chihuahua have confronted
American military authorities with a
new problem in transportation of sup
plies to the front. Operation of the
motor truck supply line was interrupt
ed because of the inability of the
trucks to make their way from Col

border, over the soapy mud of the rut-
ted roads.
A large detachment of infantry has
been heavily equipped and it is be-
lieved that they will be sent shortly to

WILLING TO MEET U. 8. HALF
WAY, BUT WOULD DISCUSS
DETAILS.
NOTE IS CONCILIAT0RY ONE
Reply to Wilson's Demands Again Call
Attention to International Law
Violations on Part Of Great
Britain,

Washington.-The German reply to
the United States has been prepared
IN outline. This has been learned from
an authoritative source.
The reply proper is expected to be
brief. limitations of it's contents have
reached Washington and the important
features are expected to be:
Ffrst-An assurance that Germany
will conduct her submarine warfare in
accordance with the recognized rules
of international law. These rules
must be defined, but in general they
require that the vessel attacked shall
be warned, that she has the right OF
visit and search and that provision
must be made for the safety of pas.
sengers and crew.
Second-Changed conditions Of ma,
val warfare will be referred to and
mention will be made of notifications
OF the rules of such warfare by all the
belligerent countries, and notably
Great Britain. who has attempted to
institute new rules of blockade.
Third-An announcement that Ger.
many is ready and willing to discuss
with the United States details Of the
issues involved in the submarine con
troversy. These details would relate
to the indefinite and z D
sions contained in the note to Ger
many. One Of the demands was that
present methods" of submarine war
fare be abandoned. There is no def
milton Of present methods" but Ger
many may understand that phrase as
meaning incidents such as the alleged
on the English channel steamer
Sussex which was singled out for spe.
cial mention by President Wilson in
his address rs congress.
Fourth-A discussion of details
would also include considerable of the
of armed merchantmen, their
being admittedly arguable. In
view of instructions to British admir-
atty and taken from =. captured Eng
fish ship in the Mediterranean, these
merchant vessels, Germany contends,
are a part Of the naval forces of Great
Britain. They were ordered to act Of
fensively, to fire before being fired
upon and to exceed in their opera
tons the limit the United States gov
eminent has set for them in formal
statements issued by the state depart
ment.
Ffth-ln addition it is believed the
German reply will contain a more
lengthy statement of British viola
lions of international law, a declara-
ton that they have most prejudicial
upon Germany's vital interests
and an invitation to this government
exercise its influence in obtaining
from the allied governments a like
promise that they will not set aside
International law in prosecuting their
naval warfare on Germany.

statement holds tie right of a mer-

I'll Paso, Texas.-Marked progress
foward an agreement has been made
by the American and Mexican con
Heroes considering United States troop
dispositions in Mexico, according to
unofficial but authoritative advices.
1t Is believed now the matter may

This progress was due to the fact, it

fment, had concluded there was no
possibility of altering the intention of
the Washington government not to
Withdraw Gen. Persh,ng's expedition

The attitude of the Mexican minis
fer of war is believed TO have been

who said:

1t has been reported in authorize

ing for the cooperation of Mexican and
American troops in the dispersal of
ahe Villa groups would provide that
Gen. P~ershing's forces should concen-
trate at Colonia Dubian, the present

1t was pointed out that this spot
was well placed as to climate, that it
had an abundant water supply and
that it would be easy from there to
