In Honor of Head Clerk.

In Illinois the March campaign is
in honor of the head clerk, and al
ready the applications are coming in
at a pace that gives promise of ex

honor in order to maintain the United
States at peace.
At the same time the president de-
clared he did not see how the United
States could do anything but sever
diplomatic relations with any nation
which killed Americans in violation OF
international law.
While both Secretary Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, have fatty declined to COM
ment on the statements regarding the
possibility of war attributed 10 Presi,
dent Wilson by Senator Gore, and lat
er denied by the White house, it was
Learned today that mention of possible
results of break of diplomatic rela-
tons had been discussed informally by
the secretary and the ambassador late
in January of this year and that no
significance or Importance could be at
tached to it.
According to authoritative informa-
ton the statement came at time
when Secretary Lansing informed the
ambassador exactly what kind of COM
munication from Germany would set
tie the Lusitania case in manner sat
isfactory to the United States.
Secretary Lansing. it is said, told
the ambassador that in event of COM
plete disagreement on the subject, the
United States might be obliged to
break off diplomatic relations. The
ambassador is reliably represented as
having expressed the hope that moth
ing of the kind would occur.
The ambassador pointed out that
with diplomatic relations severed
there would be no agency by which
The enthusiasm of naval commanders
could be held in check and that some
circumstance was almost certain to
occur 10 lead to hostilities.

Independent Construction company and
D. E. Keller asked 81 per cubic yard
and the Ryan Construction company
and Mccarthy Improvement company
asked $3.50 per cubic yard.
The Ryan Construction company was
low by SIS on manholes, bidding $50
each. Trenkenschuh asked $35, the
others ranging in price up to $50.
The offer of Trenkenschuh brings
the cost Of the first section of the prof.
ect to $12,500. There will be 1860
feet of 4S-inch storm drain, extending
on Twelfth avenue from Eleventh
street west to Ninth street and south
to Fifteenth avenue.
1t is understood that the commission
will specify Ferguson segment block in
the contract since it is cheaper than
brick block and because it is we'll rec
commended wherever it has been used.
Bids must remain open for As hours
before acted upon by the commission.
This means that Monday will be the
earliest date upon which the contract

MULES AND WAGON IN
TRACKS BLOCK CARS

Two pesky mules and junk wagon
lodged firmly in the street car tracks
were cussed and some 200 persons in
street cars and other vehicles found
their patience taxed to the limit when
traffic was held up in the 1900 block
on Second avenue late yesterday af-
ternoon.
Many of the people on the street
cars were anxious to get to the Rock
Island Southern depot at the foot Of
Fourth avenue in order to catch the
5 O'Clock interurban south. In order
to assure making the station in lime
they got off of the cars and helped
push the wagon out of the tracks.
The wagon belonged to Morris &
Lewis and contained waste paper. 1t
was proceeding west on the avenue
when the driver heard the warning
clang of street car bell He tried
to guide the team from the tracks and
one of the animals fell. After it man
aged to get to its feet he again en-
deaVored to direct the team from the
tracks The second time both ami
mails fell.
Traffic Officer Fitzsimmons took
charge of the situation and with the
assistance of passengers from the
street car the team was unhitched and
the mules pulled to their feet. They
were hitched to the wagon and the
men put their shoulders to the vehicle
and helped dislodge it from the
tracks.
1t required about ten minutes time
and street cars and other vehicles
bound both east and west were
blocked.

President Wilson's position on the
international situation as revealed
further today was that he had told
congressional leaders it was months
after the resignation of former Secre-
tary Bryan before the United States
government could convince Germany
that this nation was in earnest in its
position on submarine warfare.
The president is understood to have
mentioned this fact to show his be-
lief that action by congress would fur
Their weaken the position of the United
States abroad. He is understood to
have told the leaders that charges
that he wanted to get the United
States into war were entirely dis
proved by his attitude during the last
two years. He endured jeers and rid
icule, he said, because of his efforts to
maintain peace. He is understood to
have declared that he was always will
ing to do anything except sacrifice

Since May. 1911. Adding 1857
Benefit Members.
ENTHUSIASM Is At HIGH PITCH
March to BE Mcnamara Month in Hi.
nois a. a Compliment to Head
Clerk of the Order.

When Head Clerk Mcnamara closed
the books of the Modern Woodmep
certificate department at o'clock on
Feb. 20 it was with the knowledge
that, in all probability, the output of
new certificates for the month had set
a record which had not been touched
for some years preceding. However,
not until yesterday was it possible to
verify this knowledge to the absolute
figure, because of the immense labor
involved in tallying, checking and re-
checking the results by dates, states
and provinces, so as to insure that su-
preme accuracy required in the tabu-
lstion of data of this kind.
The final count showed that 1857
benefit certificates were issued during
February and 81 new camps chartered.
This is the best record reached by the
Modern Woodmen since May of 1911,
which was the last time the certificate
issues went above 10000, until this re-
cent record was established. In view
Of the fact that February was a short
month the officers and members of the
society are immensely pleased with
the excellent work done and are hope
full of keeping the enthusiasm at its
present high stage even through the
heat of the summer months, when a
temporary suspension of lodge activi-
ties may ordinarily be expected.

he said. Every state and province
is being organized for more aggres-

port from the head consul's office
shows that on March l the society had
6,190 bonded and commissioned as
sistant deputies at work in addition
to some $50 state and district super
visors. Illinois leads with TAI, while
Missouri comes next with AIS. 1t is
significant that the states ranking

cured are also first in the number Of

However, these commissioned men are
only the captains or directing geniuses.
The rank and file of the membership
