The Republicans are going to
try to make political capital out
of the large appropriations made
by the present congress, the in
crease being due to the unpre-
paredness agitation that is ram
pant in this country brought on
by the European war. the condi-
ton of our army and navy and
lack of coast defenses. When
trouble broke out between the
United States and Spain Presi-
dent Mckinley was forced to de-
lay congressional action until
some preparation could be made
towards getting this country in
shape for war with as small a ma
ton as that. Since that time the
Republican party was in power
for twelve years, and Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft knew our true
condition, but neither of them or
the Republican congress done one
thing to improve our prepared
ness and are blaming Wilson for
doing what they should have
done, namely, to put this country
on a war footing equal to some
of the European nations.

pointed by the governor-general, two
other members appointed by the chief
executive and the city engineer as a
member ex-officio. The new charter
requires the election of all members,
not by districts, but by the city at
large. In addition to the board, but
not member of it, there will be an
alcade, appointed by the governor
general, and his Office will closely re-
semble that of the mayor of the aver
age American city.
Some of the numerous candidates
for places on the board are men who
have mingled in the political game
here since the first days Of American
occupation, but there are many new
corners, with new ideas and ideals of
political service. In some respects
the election will mark a battle be-
tween the old and the new, a struggle
between the generation which has
ruled Filipino politics for many years,
and the generation which has barely
come to maturity, the youth of the
country.

Berlin. by wireless via Sayville. n.
Y, May 5.)-Following is text of the
note OF the German government in
reply to the American note respecting
submarine warfare, delivered on
Thursday by Gottlieb Won Jagow, the
foreign secretary, to Ambassador Ger
ard:
The undersigned, on behalf of the
imperial German government has the
honor to present TO his excellency, the
ambassador of the United States Ger
ard, the following reply to the note of
April 20 regarding the conduct OF
German submarine warfare.
THE German government handed
over to the proper naval authorities
for early investigation concerning the
Sussex. as communicated by the gov
eminent of the United States. Judging
by the results that the investigation
has hitherto yielded. the German gov
eminent is alive to the possibility
that the ship mentioned in the note of
April 10 as having been torpedoed by
a German submarine is actually iden-
teal with the Sussex
Asks Further Communication.
The German government begs to
reserve further communication on the
matter until certain points are ascer-
tanned. which are of decisive import
awe for establishing the facts of the
case. Should it turn out that the COM
mander was wrong in assuming the
vessel to be a man OF war, the German
government will not fail to draw the
consequence resulting therefrom.
In connection with the case of the
Sussex the government of the Uni
ted States made series of statements,
the gist of which is the assertion that
the incident is to be considered but
one instance of a deliberate method
of indiscriminate destruction of yes
sells of all sorts, nationalities and des-
tinations, by German submarine COM
manders.
The German government must EN-
phatically repudiate the assertion. The
German government, however, thinks
it of little avail to enter-into details il
the present stage Of affairs, more par
ticularly as the government of TIL
United States omitted TO substantial
the assertion by reference to concret
facts.
Restrain Put On Subs.
''The German government will onl
state that it has imposed far reachin
restraints upon the use of the submar
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-05-05

inc weapon, solely in consideration of
neutral interests. in spite of the fact
that these restrictions are necessarily
Of advantage TO Germany's enemies.
No such consideration has ever been
shown neutrals by Great Britain and
her allies.
The German submarine forces have
had, in fact. orders to conduct the sub
marine warfare in accordance with the
general principles OF visit and search
and the destruction of merchant yes
sells recognized by international law,
the sole exception being the conduct OF
warfare against enemy trade carried
on enemy ships encountered IN the
war zone surrounding Great Britain,
With regard to these, no assurances
have ever been given to the govern
ment of the United States. No such as
surances are contained in the decla-
ration of Feb. s. 1916.
Claim Errors Occurred.
THE German government cannot
admit any doubt that these orders
were given or executed in good faith,
Errors actually occurred. They can
in no kind of warfare be avoided al
together. Allowance must be made in
the conduct of naval warfare against
enemy resorting to all kinds of ruses,
whether permissible or illicit.
But apart from the possibility OF
errors, naval warfare, just like war
fare on land, implies unavoidable dan
gers for neutral persons and goods en-
tering the fighting zone. Even IN
cases where the naval action is con-
fined to ordinary forms of cruiser war,
fare, neutral persons and goods re,
peatedly come to grief.
Point Out Danger of Mines.
"The German government has re
peatedly and explicitly pointed out the
dangers from mines that have led tt
the destruction of many ships.
THE German government has made
several proposals to the government
Of the United States in order to re
Iduce to a minimum for American trav
elers and goods. the inherent dangers
of naval warfare. Unfortunately th'
government of the United States de
cided not to accept the proposals. Hat
it accepted. the government of thu
United States would have been in
strumental in preventing the create
part of the accidents that American
citizens have met with in the mean
time

Attack British Rulings.

Several of the attempts made by
the government of the United States
to prevail upon the British govern
ment to act accordingly failed because
of fiat refusal on the part of the Brit
ish government Moreover, Great
Britain again and again has violated
international law, surprising all
bounds in outraging neutral rights.
! The latest measure, adopted by Great
Britain, declaring German bunker coal
contraband and establishing condi-
tions under which English bunker coal
alone IS supplied to neutrals is moth
ing but an unheard Of attempt by way
Of eXaction to force neutral tonnage
for the service of British trade war.
Recognize Americas Power.
"The German people know that the
government of the United States has
the power to confine the war to armed
forces of the belligerent countries in
the interest of humanity and mainten-
ance of international law The govern
ment of the United States would have
been certain of attaining this end had
it determined to insist against Grea,
Britain on the incontrovertible rights

Refer to Blockade Victims.

CAS- matters stand, the German gov
eminent cannot but reiterate regret
that the sentiments of humanity which
the government of the United States
extend with such fervor to the I'M
happy victims of submarine warfare
are not extended with the same
warmth of feeling to many millions of
women and children who, according to
the avowed intention of the British
government, shall be starved, and who,
by suffering, shall force the victorious
armies of the central powers into ig-
nominous capitulation. The German
government, in agreement with the
German people. fails to understand
this discrimination, all the more as it
has repeatedly and explicitly declared
itself ready to use the submarine
weapon in strict conformity with the
rules of international laws as recog-
nized before the outbreak of the war
i if Great Britain likewise was ready tC
adapt the conduct of warfare TO these

stands by its offer to come to an agree
ment along these lines.
viii Not Give Up Sub.
"As the German government repeat
edlv declared, it cannot dispense with
the use of the submarine weapon III
the conduct of warfare against enemy
trade. The German government, no"
ever, has now decided to make tur
tber concession. adapting methods OF
submarine war to the interests OF neu-
trails.
an reaching this decision the Ger
man government is actuated by con-
siderations which are above the leSel
of the disputed question.
THE German government attaChes
no less importance to the sacred prlh-
ciples of humanity than the govern
ment of the United States. 1t again
fully takes into account that botn gov
ernments for many years cooperatea
in developing international law IN con-
formity with these principles, the ultl-
mate object of which has always been
to confine warfare on sea and land TO
armed forces of belligerents and safe
guard as far as possible non-combat-
ants against the horrors of war. But
although these considerations are OF
great weight, they alone would not
under present circumstances have de-
termined the attitude of the German
government. For in answer to the ap-
/ peal by the government of the United
States on behalf of the sacred princi-
pies of humanity and international
law, the German government must re-
peat once more. with all emphasis,
that it was not the German, but the
British government which ignored all
accepted rules of International law
and extended this terrible war to the
lives and property of -combatants
having no regard whatever for the in
terests and rights of neutrals and non
combatants that through this method
of warfare have been severely injured

conduct of British warfare, while

MARTIN WANTS sTOCK-LAw

We learn from reliable sources that
the citizens OF this end of Martin
county are preparing to protest against
the rebuilding of the old fence along
the Halifax and Edgccombe lines. The
parties Of our information are among
the county's best farmers and their
watch-word is progress. - They want
their county to have stock law as Hall
fax and Edgecombc have, and have
plans well-laid for better system of
public roads. We understand that
there IS government cattle quarantine
over Martin county at the present time,
and the report as we hear it is that the
quarantine will not be lifted any time
soon. 1t seems to us that if the COM
missioners of Martin would grant an
election for the purpose Of ascertaining
the sentiment on stock law, they would
find out just how progressive the citi-
zens are. The money now expended in
building and maintaining fences should
be going toward goods roads, a thing
in which Martin is sadly lacking. Hal
flax has too few of this great need.
We hope to see our sister county abol-
ish the old law of permitting stock to
run at large, and it will not be a great
while before the Texas cattle tick will
be thing of the past. Modern meth
DDS are the making of any county.
