Hill is as democratic as
was his father. He is known
throughout st. Paul Is
"LOuise" and likes it. One
of his pet aversiOns is the
"dress suit" and he almost
always wears q soft collar.
1t is said he has met every
employe of his roads from d.
rectors to trackwalkers. He has
also become acquainted with
hundreds of the farmers living
along the lines, and makes long
trips in his auto to meet those
who live far from the right-of-
way.
So far as anyone in st. Paul
can see, Louis Hill will carry out
his fathers policy OF aiding i'm
migrant farmers-a policy which
made the name of YIN Hill''
known in every peasants cottage
In Norway and Sweden; the two
countries from which the north
west drew largely for It's settlers.
Hills house next to the elder
Hills on Summit av., shows the
reverence he feels for his
fathers memory. There are pic
lures of the elder Hill in every
room.
In one huge room there is a
painting of James J. Hill, his
wife and their grandchildren
that covers an entire wall.
Louis Hill is devoted to his five
children. James J. Hill, H., who
is IL, has been slated for rail-
road career.
The boy is imaginative and
artistic. He sketches with re-
markable skill and writes as good
poetry as some that finds 1t way
into magazines,
His father says this shows he
will make a fine railroad man.

Cymric Not on Admiralty
Service, SAYS White Star

Officials Of the White Star Line here
denied yesterday that the Cymric was
on British Admiralty service. In a
statement denying report from Wash
ington. they said:
"Since December, 1914. the Cymric
has been regularly employed in the
New York-Liyerpool service of the
White Star Line, and has been oper-
ated solely on the account OF her
owners. She carried no guns and was
simply an ordinary merchantmen"
First news of the ships sinking came
to the local Offices yesterday morning
in the following dispatch from the Lon
don headquarters.
Much regret advise Cymric sunk 3
a. m. Believe crew saved"
later message read: Understand
107 men landedin Ireland from Cymric.
Five killed by explosion. No details"
Although the Cymric carried an ex-
ceptionally valuable cargo, insurance
men believed yesterday that her sink
ing would not materially affect insur-
ance rates on shipments TO England.
Most of the cargo, II was explained. was
destined for the British government,
and its insurance was carried in the
governments own war risk bureau.
AT present" said well known in
surance man, "the nominal rate Of in
surance to England is 3 per cent. As
so little of the Cymric's cargo was in
sured here, believe the effect on these
rates will be negligible"

"Whatever the future OF German
American relations may be, the re-

now has an important moral effect. 1t
tightens the circle OF reprobation clos
ing around Germany; II adds another
link TO the chain OF humiliation weigh
ing upon her: it proclalms that the
attitude of the German Empire makes
impossible all contact between her and
civilized people; it adds another new
page TO the judicial record OF Pam
Germanism.'
The Journal des Debats" says that
the American reply makes the German
document says ayes" when IL said
mo-" and adds:
Each side seeks 70 throw upon the
other responsibility for the rupture
which is almost inevitable. Many VIII
doubtless applaud President Wilson'S
answer. For our part, we cannot help
finding rather Anticipated, obsolete and
