American Reply
to German Note
Is Brief, Pointed

Washington, May 10.-Following Is
the text of the note cabled by Secre-
tary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin with Instructions to deliver
it to the German minister of foreign
affairs.
THE note of the Imperial German
government under date of May 4, 1916,
has received careful consideration by
the government of the United States
Il is especially noted as indicating the
purpose of the Imperial German gov
eminent as to the future, that it is
prepared to do its utmost to confine the
operation of the war for the rest of it's
duration to the fighting forces Of the
belligerents, and that it is determined
to impose upon all its commanders at
sea the limitations Of the recognized
rules of international law upon which
the government of the United States
has insisted.
Guided by Friendship.
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the Imperial government
announced on February 4, 1915, it's
submarine policy, now happily aban-
doned, the government OF the United
States has been constantly guided and
restrained by motives of friendship in
its patient efforts to bring to an annie
able settlement the critical questions
arising from that policy.
Accepting the Imperial govern
ment's declaration of it's abandonment
Of the policy which has SO seriously
menaced the good relations between
the two countries, the government OF
the United States will rely on a scru-
pulous execution henceforth of the
now altered policy of the Imperial gov
eminent. as such as will remove the
principal danger to an interruption of
the good relations existing between the
United States and Germany.
New Policy Made Clear.
THE government of the United
States feels it necessary to state that
u takes it for granted that the I'M
perial German government does not
intend to imply that the maintenance
Of it's newly announced policy is in
any way contingent upon the course or
result OF diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the Government of the United
States and any other belligerent gov
eminent notwithstanding the fact that
the certain passages in the Imperial
governments note OF the fourth in
slant might appear to be susceptible
of that construction.
In order. however, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding the gov
ernment Of the United States notifies
the Imperial government that it can
not for moment entertain, much less
discuss, a suggestion that respect by
German naval authorities for the
rights OF citizens of the United States
upon the high seas should in any way
or in the slightest degree be made
contingent upon the conduct of any
other government affecting the rights
OF neutrals and noncombatants. Re-
sponsibility in such matters is single,
not joint; absolute. not relative"

CHURCH,!

The sum and substance Of General Funston's
lengthy statement in the daily papers, Sun
day, is, that the soldier must look to his regi-
mental chaplain for his religion, and mustI
not enjoy the freedom to look elsewhere.
He must not be preached to by anybody ex-
cept the chaplain He must, not attend reviv-
ais, and he must not be told that his uncon-
verified soul is "lost." T.
Funston won't allow it. Funston must
measure mans religion to him, as The meas
ures out the rations. Funston will see to it
that the soldier obeys the sergeant and the
captain.
Funston will march the unconverted man
to heaven, just as he marches him into camp.
Funston abrogates the Constitution of the
United States, SO far as soldiers are concerned.
Funston stops the Constitution on the outer
rim of his encampment, and sternly forbids it
to come in.
Funston prescribes soldiers mode of wor.
ship, just as he would design a uniform.

tious leaders who turned their leadership into
despotisms.
In every one of these usurpations and
tyrannies, the leader had to share his power
with an aristocracy composed of the neat
highest laymen and the priests.
1t was SO, in all the Seven Great Monarchies
of antiquity: it was so, in medieval Russia,
Poland, Germany, France and England
In the Seven Great Monarchies, the op-
pressed found no salvation, and the nations
passed away. The peoples persisted, under the
despotisms of aristocracies, lay and ecclesias-
teal
The Roman Empire died out, from the
same causes.
But owing to the primitive instincts and
robust vitality of the European races, the
usurping despotism of State and Church did
not endure.
Even in the Dark Ages, when Pope and
King were supreme, there was always an i'm
mortal spark of Independence, kept alive by
some fearless scholar, some skeptical prince,
or some Masonic Secret-0rder.
Consequently, revolutions remedied the
fearful wrongs of Church and State; and
these revolutions cost millions of lives, in
Holland, Germany, Bohemia, France, Italy,
and England
Before those revolutions took place, the
common man had no more lights than peon
recently had in Mexico.
The tyrannical King and the despotic Pope
had worked hand in hand, until Ch7astendomo
qcas PEONIZED.

Wig not?

Why not?
On that point, little Funston squirms like
worm on hot shovel. His evasons and at
tempted explanations utterly fail to hide the
truth, which is, that he did not approve evan
gelical services.
He disapproves REVEALS; and, in his latest
effort at defense, he stumbles right into the
very admission which proves that he AFRO
gated to himself religious censorship.
He himself usurped the authority to rob the
soldier of his Constitutional right to worship
God according to the dictates of the soldiers
conscience.
Funston demands that the soldier qcorShip
according to Furaston's notions.
Where does that attitude leave the soldier?
Where does it leave the Constitution of the
United States? What becomes of religious
liberty in the Army, if the soldier is denied
the right to attend revival or other evangeli-
cal services?
This episode needs the prompt attention Of
the Commander in Chief. It demands the
attention of Congress.

General Funston Abolhes the Religious Liberty of the Soldiers

GENERAL FUNSTON explains his snub
- of DR.. j. b. Gambrell, and his refusal to
allow evangelical services in the Army, by say
ing that the soldiers have rights which must
be respected
Has anybody denied that? Have the Bap-
lists and other evangelicals been seeking to
rob the soldier of his rights?
DR.. Gambrell, speaking for the Baptist de-
nomination, politely requested Gen. Funston
to grant him an interview, for the purpose of
discussing the conditions under qOhioh re-
IgiouS services might be held among the 1OO,-
900 young men, assembled on the border.
Is there anything Objectionable in such a re-
quest?
Did it appear to endanger any Fright" be-
longing to the soldiers?
Instead of receiving DR.. Gambrell-as a
gentleman in Funston's place would have
done-the supercilious General refused the in
terview, and instructed subordinate officer
to tell DR.. Gambrell that he could not hold the

Mr Grigsby is a pleasing and forcefIl speaker, and in his address confined himself principally to the issues of the territorial campaign He said of his opponents that Mir. SchOfieId, the Re publican nominee, was a practicing at tOrney in Seattle, and produced photo graphs of his home and office there to prove his assertion. He also stated that both Mr Schofield and Mir. Cobb were able lawyers.

Cobb had bolted the party and was running as an indepen- dent

 The eXportation of ore in the place of manufactured steel was a mistake that France admits, and will probably never repeat, She was led into 1t by the supposition that the prosperity of her frontier industries was depen- dent in a measure upon the prosperity of the steel and iron establishments that the fortunes of war had given to Germany.
 There are still people interested in mining who resist proposed economic measures that would keep all French ore from Germany, but their resist ance has only reinforced the action of the other and far stronger ele- ment that proposes to keep French ore for the development "f French industries and correct the errors of the past; it has also together with the open expresstc AA3f the ambitions of industrial Germany to absorb what mineral resources they didn't get in 1871, helped to reinforce the determi, nation of the French to fight until such a victory is won as will enable them to reclaim the iron they lost with Lorraine.
