ployes and employers in one Of the

The speech-maker extolled the fed
eral reserve board.
But the president permitted a do
cile Congress to adjourn without al
tering the reserve act in any of the
manners urged by the boards mem
bers as essential to continued pros
perity.
The speech-maker insisted that
America must take its place in the
world Of finance
But the president blocked the per-
formance of the program arranged
by Mr.. Taft, whereby the American
bankers would have financed China.
This spring he sought to undo the
great wrong he had done to the open
door policy and Americas whole flu
ture in the far East. Yet even then
he refused to give the bankers any
assurance that they would receive
treatment different from that he had
accorded American investors in Mex
leo. and the opportunity to make
America the dominant occidental
power in the orient wa sagain tossed
aside by the American president.
The speech-maker praised the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM

But the president acquiesced in

The speech-maker found, to his
amazement. that some OF the best of
the reports seem never to have been
read"
But the president refused for
three years and a half to read any of
the reports coming to this depart
ment and to the state department
from the governments recognized
agents in Mexico or the far East. He
elected instead to read the reports
brought back by personal and CONT
dental agents. Much of American
citizens sufterlngs can be attributed
to this fact, the discovery of which

But the president, who could have
forced Congress to do his bidding in
good legislation, just as he did in
evil legislation, could have compelled
the passage of the Webb bill, for
which the commission, in behalf of
all commercial interests Of the coun-
try, was chief sponsor, and which
aimed at the development Of foreign
trade by scientific methods. He per-
mitted Congress to adjourn without
passing the bill. Months, crucial
months. with our foreign trade in
the make or break stage, are pass

The speech-maker says we must
expedite the development of mer-

But the president fought success
fully against the scientific ideas OF

owners, who might be expected to
know something about ships, and
jammed through an unwilling but

1t is a rosy painting which Mr..
Wilson exhibits to the business men
of the country in such speeches as
that made on Monday in Baltimore.

Few of Mrs. Wilson's speeches

public men have been able to excel
Mr.. Wilson in the mobllizing of fine

Pnded with articulation. Mr. Wilson's

WILSON WATCHED EXHIBITION
Thompson Says He Made Ascent to

Raid Twenty Cities.

Washington, April IS. - De Lloyd
Thompson, an aviator, of Washington,
Pa, scared 5000 feet over this city on
Saturday night and dropped 800 excel
sior-flled bombs on the city.
Mr.. Thompson said he made the
ascent as a demonstration to members
of congress and to Washington citi-
zens to accelerate sentiment in favor
of national aerial preparedness. Pres
ident Wilson witnessed the exhibition
from the White House.
The bombs exploded 1000 feet
above the ground, 1000 feet beneath
the drivers machine. They spread in
mighty star carnations and dropped
in a shower Of fire.

that the guns could have riddled it be-

BERLIN ADMITS THAT
U-BOATS SANK STEAMERS
Note Insists, However, That the Ves-
sells Were Legal Victims-Asserts
Sussex Hit Mine.

Berlin, April IA (by wireless). The
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking of
five steamships contains the statement
that the steamers Englishman, Eagle
Point, Manchester Engineer and Ber-
windvale were destroyed by German
submarines. Evidence is presented to
show that these vessels were torpe-
decd legally in accordance with the
rules Of war.
The note states that a German sub
marine torpedoed a steamship in the
vicinity of the place at which the Chan
mel steamship Sussex was damaged by
an explosion, but that evidence at
hand indicates that the vessel torpe-
doed by the submarine was not the
Sussex
The commander of this submarine,
the note says, made a sketch at the
time. This sketch has been compared
with photograph Of the Sussex and
has been found to show dissimilarities
in build, arrangement of stacks, etc.
IL 10 plb q ihlilC was
responsible for the damaging Of the
Sussex. In the way of confederation,
it is stated that German naval forces
destroyed 26 floating mines on that
day.
Regarding the cases of the English
man, Manchester Engineer, Eagle
Point and Berwindvale, it is stated
they were signaled to halt, but disre-
garded the signals. Thereupon warn
ing shots were fired
The statement is made that the sub
marine commanders assured them
their destruction was justified and
that the crews were safely in boats, no
man being left aboard the vessels.

Madison-In the student voting
cases, Judge +. Ray Stevens of circuit
court has decided that It is not neces-
sary that the voter should intend to
remain permanently in this city, He
holds that even an intent to return to

acquiring residence here if he comes
with the intention of remaining for
an indefinite time as a place of pres
ent residence"
In substance, the decision of the

one else, comes here and establishes
his residence here for an indefinite
period, he has a right 10 vote here.
Judge Stevens held that Albert Ar

horse backed the buggy upon her and
she fell into the swift water, In an
other moment her sister, still in the
buggy, was plunged to death in the icy
current. The bodies were recovered
