Reply is Received

Washington, Dec. 2S. = Germany S
answer to President Wilson's peace
note reached the state department to-
day.
The official who announced the re-
eeipt of reply said nothing confidential
was attached to the answer. There hal
been suggestions that Germany might
give her terms secretly in a message 20
Ambassador Gerard for transmission
here.
The state department cable office
Notified Secretary Lansing of receipt
of the message about 10 o clock and
Immediately provided him and Presi-
dent Wilson with copies.
Secretary Lansing had purposely
avoided study of the note as contained
in press reports so his mind would be
clear on the exact points made by Ger
many and not confused by any possible
misstatements in press texts. The of
ficial copy was understood, however,
to conform in all essentials with the
press versions.
Secretary Lansing gave out the text
which was practically identical with
that sent to the press by wireless.
The German reply follows:
After Investigations made by Ger
man naval authorities, the ship Delto,
chartered by the Italian government
for transportation of coal was stopped
October Is of this year, about forty
sea miles southeast of Cape Holos and
sunk by artillery fire for assisting the
enemy in way contrary to neutrali-
ty-and here the German government
cites article fort six, first paragraph,
line three of the London war law dec
larations.
After the German commander had
possession of the ships papers and
caused the crew to go into the boats
half an hour was given to the crew for
leaving the ship. The weather was
good and very bright, with extremely
low (seal. The boat had to travel a
comparative short way to the Spanish
coast so the usual security was given
for the crew IS rescue.
"'The conjecture expressed by the
American government that the lite Of
American citizens being on board the
Delto had been put in jeopardy is there
fore not justified.

WHAT HE'LL DO
Garder Has Some High Ideals-TO
Strengthen States Finances, Good
Roads, Revise Legal Practice.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 18.-Gov-
ernor elect Frederick D. Gardner, in
response to questions put to him by
a Post-Dispatch reporter last night,
discussed the six big problems 10
which he will give il mediate atten-
tion upon assuming the duties Of his
Office in January. They are:
First, rehabilitation of the States
financial system, TO provide adequate
revenue for the States activities.
This to be done after an inquiry into
the requirements of all the State in
stitutions as to the amount needed to
make them highly efficient.
Second, to building a system of
good roads which will embrace a per-
manent highway from st. Louis to
Kansas City, from Kansas City to
Springfield, from Springfield to st.
Louis, from st. Louis to Hannibal,
Hannibal to st. Joseph and st. Joseph
to Kansas City; also road from st.
Louis to Caruthersville. This he pro-
poses to do by increasing the automo-
bile license tax to the basis of other
States, so that it will produce a rev.
enue of S2,O0O,0OO a year and by the
submission to the people as early as
possible of a $15,OOO,OOO bond issue
for good roads.
Third, to work out a solution of
the penitentiary problem, with the
idea of abolishing permanently the
convict labor system and at the same
time to furnish employment to the
cOnvicts. This to be done by a study
of the methods and practices of 9th
er States or by plans worked out by
a non-partisan commission which he
will appoint Immediately upon taking
office.
Fourth, to revise and simplify the
legal practices of the State in order
to minimize delays in the trial OF
litigation.
Fifth, to have enacted a fair and
just workmen's compensation act.
Sixth. to have submitted to the peo,
pie at the next election the question
''Shall a constitutional Convention
be called to write new Constitution
for Missouri"

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 17.-In-
terest is revived in the construction of
a Central Missouri trolley system by
the fact that representatives of the
Mckinley System, which owns and op-
crates the street railway and other
utilities here, made a preliminary
survey this week of the route from
this city to Mexico, Mo-, via Fulton.
The officials who made the survey
are: w. Graham Brown, of Montreal,

Thompson, of Kansas City, construct
ion engineer for the Mckinley Sys-
TEN, and Ray Palmblade, manager OF
the Mckinley properties in Jefferson

Browne and Thompson spent a day
or two here estimating what addi-
tions would have to be made to the
plant in Jefferson City in the event
of the extension of the line from its
present terminus at North Jefferson
Galloway county.
1t is understood the Mckinley in.
terests will build a road connecting
Jefferson City with Fulton, Mexico
and Columbia if they can get pos
session of the electric light plants fl
the three last named cities.
The road would probably be only
the forerunner of an electric lint
