aiser Wants Peace.

Washington, April 27-It is believed
the Kaiser is determined to find a ba-
sis of agreement with the United
States, if that be possible, and sup
porting this policy are all the large
shipping interests of the empire. The
latter see evidence that all neutral
countries will to some degree go with
the United States in case of break.
This is especially evident in the
case of South American countries,
which in all probability would follow
the same course as this country. AL
most the entire German commercial
fleet is interned in the harbors of the
neutral countries, and if all the Amer
lean republics should confiscate all
German boats in their harbors, at the
end Of the war Germany would find
herself almost completely driven from
the seas.
Yet the difficulties presented in get
ting the German people to take this
view of the issue are so great that
several days may elapse before the
reply is ready to send to Washing
ton.
Secretary Lansing has received a
,eport from Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin on a conference between the
latter and Chancellor Won Bethmann-
!1ollweg. The secretary would not dis
cuss the report except to say that it
was brief and required no reply. He
continued to receive summaries of ed
itorial comment on the submarine is
sue published in German newspapers.
Count Won Bernstorff, German am
bassador, has sent to the foreign Of
flee suggestions on the submarine
question which he hopes will prevent
a break in diplomatic relations. The
suggestions were sent on request
from Berlin and will be considered at
& conference between Kaiser and
chancellor.
President Wilson and Senator Stone
chairman Of the foreign relations
committee-discussed for an hour last
night international questions facing
TIE United States, including the Ger
man controversy, the Mexican ques-
ton and protests against the immi-
grafton bill. The conference was de-
voted chiefly to the submarine issue.
I'he president did not attempt to min
imize the gravity of the situation, but
he has not given up hope of avoiding
It break with Germany. Senator Stone

Americans Face Peril.

San Diego, April 27.-1nflammatory
literature, intended to incite the Mex
leans against the American residents
Of the Mexican west coast, is beng
circulated at Salina Cruz and other
west coast cities, according to infor-
nation brought here by the steamer
Roanoke early today.
The Roanoke left Salina Cruz with
out waiting to finish loading its car
go, and for reasons of eXpediency it
did not stop at Manzanillo while pass
ing although thirty Americans there
were clamoring for transport.
Fortyfive passengers, mostly
Americans, took passage at Salina
Cruz for American ports. Mrs. Min
ME L. Dillingham; and Mrs. Julia l..
Dillingham; left the ship here to pro-
ceed by train for San Francisco and
ether passengers are to leave che ship
at San Pedro or San Francisco.
The steamer was practically out Of
oil fuel when it arrived this morning,
its fuel shortage being one reason why
no chances of delay were brooked at
the Mexican ports. 1t is replenishing
the fuel tanks here and will leave for
the north tomorrow.
Circulars, purporting to come from
General Obregon and giving version
CT the Parral incident unfavorable to
the Americans, are reported stirring
the Mexican populace on the west
coast. While it sand the circulars
made no direct charges against the
United States government, it is
GAINED the inference is sufficient to
make the Americans on the Mexican
west coast district too uneasy for fur
tjler inclination to remain.

Military Trials.

London, April Pin proclama-
ton issued last night declaring the
,ebels in Dublin to be subject to mill
tary trial and denying civil rights,
there is shown the purpose of the en-
pire to deal with the traitors with a
strong hand.
Dublin was under martial law to-
day. The greater part of Southern
Ireland also was under military di-
lection. Large numbers of troops and
scores of machine guns are being hur-
ried to Dublin, the government pro-
Tossing to have the situation under
control.
1t was believed that the secret meet
ing of parliament will deal with the
irish situation, but no official an
nouncement to this effect has been
forthcoming. The absence of any Of
ficial statement from the heads of the
government, however, is believed to
indicate that the situation is more Sc
rious than the reports received up to
date show.
The Irish situation overshadowed in
interest the fight against conscrip-
ton.
Papers throughout England upbraid-
eG government officials for lack of
precaution, openly charging that they
knew trouble was brewing in Ireland.
Dublin itself was practically cut off
from the outside world, the rebels cut
ting the telegraph wires when they
seized the postoffice.
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary
for Ireland, stated he received no
details of the rioting, but expected to
receive detailed report.
Sir Roger Easement, leader of the
separatist faction in Ireland, who was
captured while attempting to land
arms from Germany on the Irish
coast, was conveyed across Ireland
Saturday by a strong armed escort
who knew the prisoner only by two
initials, arrived in London without in
tident and Immediately was lodged in
the Metropolitan prison.
The fact that Sir Roger Easement
has been brought to England to
stand trial and is detained in military
custody leads to the assumption that
he will be tried on the charge of high
treason. This charge has been pre-
ferred less than half a dozen times
in England in the last hundred years.
The last instance was during the Boer
war, and resulted in the conviction of
Arthur Lynch in 1903. Lynch, who
is now a member of the House of
Commons, was sentenced to death, but
the sentence was commuted and a
year later pardo". was granted.
The Express sue .fsts the possibil-
ity that if Sir Roger Is convicted Of
high treason he may be beheaded,
as under the existing law person
found guilty of this offense may,
by crown warrant, be given the PEN
atty of beheading instead of hanging.

Storm Causes Suicide.

Chickasha, Okla, June 20.-Joe
Rogers, farmer, committed suicide
last night at the home of a relative
five miles south of Verden by cutting
his throat with a pocket knife. Fear
that he was going to be swept away
by tornado is supposed to have
caused the act. Members of the
family with which he was staying ran
to a cave for protection from wind
storm. Rogers remained behind and
when the family found him he was
dead on the porch of the house. Rog-
ers dreaded storms and was always
afraid that he would be carried away
by one. He was 32 years old.

TRAIN TO VERA CRUZ YESTER-
DAY CARRIED SPECIAL CAR
FILLED WITH AMERICANS.
SPECIAL TRAIN TODAY
Train to Leave Mexico City Today
Carrying More Than Six Hundred
Americans - Reports from Consuls
Say Tension is High.

Washington, June 81. - Special
Agent Rodgers at Mexico City advised
the state department today that the
train to Vera Cruz yesterday carried
special car with thirty Americans,
mostly women, due to arrive in Vera
Cruz today, unless the car is detained.
Another dispatch from Rodgers re-
iterated the hope that special train
to carry more than six hundred Ameri-
cans, would start today.
dispatches from consular agents
throughout Mexico said the tension is
keyed to a high pitch, but no anti
American disturbances have occurred
Consul Guyant at Progresso reported
there is on truth in the rumor that
General Alvarado, governor of Yucca
tan, had declared war against the
United States.

Washington, D. c., June Fl.
Strong pressure is beng
brought to bear on Carranza by
the representatives OF Euro
pean powers to prevent him
from forcing a break with the
United States. Indirect reports
reaching the state department
today told of these efforts and
said there was a possibility
that they'd be successful.
Agencies of the entente al
lies are believed to be working
for this end, and they believe
that German influences have
been responsible for the inflam-
ing of the Mexicans against the
United States.
The United States today an
xiously waits word from Mex
leo City regarding Carranza's
attitude toward the American
note sent yesterday, for on him
depends war between the two
republics.
High officials admitted pri-
vately that they looked for
war. The only answer Carran-
"a can make, is action in sup
pressing the outlaw treatment
of Americans, and officials
feared against hope that this
would not be done.
1t was pointed out today
that Carranza might call an in
ternational commission to dis
cuss the border situation, under
the treaty of 184S, and avert
war, but different reports come
from the first chief, who is said
to be doing all in his power at
this time to protect Americans
and prevent hostilities.

COMP AM ,i|AY
Be RECRUITED
IN ARDMORE
PROBABILITY THAT TWO ADDl-
TIoNAL REGIMENTS WILL BE
CALLED FOR FROM THIS STATE
-HUTcHINsoN GETS LETTER.

Ardmore may have the opportunity
of furnishing company for service
on the border, as there is strong
probability of recruiting two more reg
iments in the state, and in that event
Ardmore and Carter county would
furnish at least $50 men for the or
ganizations.
Captain Hutchinson, former captain
of Company G, located in this city, re
ceived a letter from Colonel Hoffman
this morning, asking if he thought it
possible that Ardmore could furnish
a company in the event it became nee
essary. Captain Hutchinson answered
in the affirmative instantly, and his
office will be open in the Guaranty
State bank building where all infor-
nation will be obtainable relative to
the proposed company.
1t would be no trouble to raise a
company, or perhaps two of them,
right here in Ardmore, ard there are
many in Carter county who would
gladly respond to the call to put an
end to the Mexican nuisance that has
caused so much trouble during the last
few years.
Captain Hutchinson will keep in
communication with the authorities
and will be in position to state def
nitely what is required within the
next few days. Some of the old of
ficers of Company G, formerly located
here, are on the supernumerary list
and are subject to assignment in any
company anywhere in the state.
Among these are Doc Hayes and
VIII Worley. They, however, have
received no communication from head
quarters as yet, but are expecting
one at any time.

MONEY WILL
Be SUBSCRIBED

BUT SMALL AMOUNT REMAINS
TO BE SECURED AND ENTIRE
COMMITTEE ARE AFTER THAT.
SUBSCRIBERS ARE PAYING.

With a balance of $2,225 necessary
still to close the subscription list for
the new hotel, the hotel committee
is out working harder than ever to
secure the necessary amount.
At a meeting of the active commit
tee this noon, it was found that $685.
$500 had been subscribed and every
dollar of it considered to be gilt
edge. Mr.. Westervelt, president
of the Pioneer Telephone Co., started
the ball rolling by beating any local
man to being the first to pay in the
money, as Chas Won Weise received
his check for $500 this morning. A
number of checks have been received
during the day, all who have sub
scribed can deposit their money with
either of the four banks or give it
to any of the committee at work.
Chairman s. A. Apple, of the COM
mittee. gave out the following figures
today:
1--WE are within $25O0.OO of getting
the required amount. To be exact we
lack s2,225. We reiterate what we
said yesterday that we hope to close
it up at once. We want to be able TO
telegraph Mr.. Sharp to come on with
the plans which he will do when no
titled that we are ready. We had
hoped to close it in less than a week
and still have till Friday at ten
O'Clock to do so.
