PRESIDENT WILSON ACCEPTS BtRLIK'S
REPLY TO SUBMARINE UlTIMATUM

Washington, D. CA note cabled
by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador
Gerard Tuesday for delivery to the
Berlin foreign office informs the Ger
man government that the United
States accepts its declaration of
abandonment" of its former submarine
policy and now relies upon scrupu-
lous execution of the altered policy to
remove the principal danger of an in
terruption of the good relations exist
ing between the two countries.
With this acceptance is coupled
formal notice to Germany that the
United States cannot for moment en-.
tertain, much less discuss, sugges.
tion that respect by German naval au-
thorities of the rights of citizens Of
the United States on the high seas
should in the slightest degree be made
contingent upon the conduct of any
other government affecting the rights
of neutrals and noncombatants.
This is in reply to the concluding
statement in the last German note tc
the effect that while submarine com
manders had been ordered not to sink
peaceful freight or passenger-carryine
ships without warning or without
saftey for passengers and crew, the
German government would reserve tt
itself complete liberty of decision un.

Funston to Send Troops on Hot
Trail Of Mexican Border Outlaws

Washington, D. C.-Administration
officials are still hopeful that effective
cooperation between American and
Mexican troops to exterminate the
band of Mexican outlaws, which raided
Glenn Springs, Tex, last Friday night
will result from the conference at Ell
Paso between Generals Scott and Obre-
gon. In the meantime both at the
War and State departments, it was
stated officially that General Funston
has full authority to send his troops
across the border on any hot trail.
Secretary Baker conferred with
President Wilson Tuesday evening, but
he said later there had been no devel
opements in the situation. He declined
to discuss what steps had been taker
by General Funston of what recon-
mendations he had made.
Officials would not comment on Dor.
der advices saying General Funston
had repeatedly urged that his forces be
strengthened. The question of calling
out portion Of the National guard Is
not under immediate consideration,
however, and as the only means OF
adding materially to the border guard
would be to employ coast artillery
troops as infantry for that purpose,
there is nothing to indicate that Cen
eral Funston's force is to be increased.
Senator Rorah issued a abatement

BtRLIN'S CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION
TO Be DENIED BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, d. G. = Study Of the
German submarine note is, convincing
President Wilson's advisers that an
other reply must be made in order to
answer certain charges against the
United States made in that document.
These charges are:
First-That the United States had
Disseminated against Germany and in
favor of Great Britain in its demands
that international law be obeyed.
Second - That the United States
would have brought freedom Of the
seas had it insisted on it's rights
against Great Britain.
Third--That he United States has
aided Germany's enemies by supply
ing them with all kinds of war mater
ials.
The President and his advisers de-
clare there has been no discrimination
for or against any belligerent since the
war began.
To bring about the adoption of a
submarine policy based on the recog-
nized basis of international law, it was
necessary for the United States to con-
duct negotiations with Germany which
have extended over a period Of 19
months. For Is months the United
States has been negotiating with Great
Britain and her allies to put stop to
violations of international law leyeled

communications with the American
ambassador. Germany now is at the
top of her military achievement. If
she can make peace now it would be on
terms more favorable than later. If
she can strongly enlist American pub

Orofino Needs Two PAPERS.

Looking back three years and we
are reminded that some twenty men
were employee at the Orofino cement
plant, and that we had people in Oro-
fino who were knocking the company
every way when they should have got
back of the company and boosted.
Does it seem possible that we had a
local paper that loaned itself to an
organized plan, hatched in Orofino by
Orofino knockers, the purpose of which
was to put the Orofino cement COM
pany out of business. Anyone who
has ever had anything to do with de-
velopment work knows what this
means. They know that little local
knocking is more than any new in
dustry can stand, and wonder turns to
amazement when we contemplate Oro-
tino property owners and an Orofino
paper knocking the development of an
Orofino factory. When Orofino bus
mess men, alive to the best interests
of their town, think of these things,
is there any wonder that they are
giving their business to the Clear
water Republican? And when we
talk of one local paper is there any
doubt as to which it should be-the
Republican or the Tribune that
should stay?

He says:
II was taught in early manhood not

imaginary things with the crown of

to the rest of his physical being; that
effort to touch something above him,
not with his forehead, but with the
