dodge bebind Joe Waughop, who was
standing In the doorway but swingls
fred over his shoulder with the above
result.
The woman staggered into the room

The Methodist Protestant church
makes no apologies for its existence,
although 1t is counted among the
smaller bodies OF Metnodists. In doc
trine it recognizes Jesus Christ as
the only head of the church and the
Word of God as the only rule for
faith and practice. In policy it is
unique among other Methodist
churches. 1t is truly American with
its government "of the people, for the
people and by the people," General
Grant said: 1.-THE most American

PL0MATlC RELATIONS
LIKELY TO BE BROKEN

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The FIRST
portions of the German note were
read by officials today with undis-
guised disappointment. The tone
of the first portion was OF such char
acter that some officials feared a
break in diplomatic relations.
The unofficial copy was sent to
President Wilson as rapidly as it was
received. He had no engagements
outside of the cabinet meeting which
was expected to be devoted almost
exclusively to the German situation.
No action will be taken until the
official text of the note has arrived
and has been studied by the presi-
dent and Secretary Lansing. The
president has already discussed with
his cabinet steps to be taken in case
the note was found to be unsatisfac-
tory.
The official text is expected to be
here before Sunday, the anniversary
of the sinking of the Lusitania. 1t
was generally expected that whatever
action is taken by the American gov
eminent probably will come on that
day.
The president had already inform
ed Congress of his intention to break
relations with Germany in case its
reply is unsatisfactory and therefore,
it is believed he has decided not to
go before Congress again before tax
ing the action.

UNOFFICIAL TEXT OF GERMAN REPLY TO MOTE
GERMAN REPLY is
VERY DISPLEASING

IN ADRIATIC SEA

international law" was the chief
point. The German view OF mer-
chant vessels are defined in its dec
laration of February 8 of It's pur-
pose to sink armed ships without
warning and the American view as
defined in the armed ship memoran-
dun made public recently differ in
several points.
Some officials believe that for this
reason the controversy has now come
to the poin: where Germany's future
actions would determine the course
of the United States.
The refusal OF the German gov
eminent to openly admit the attack
on the Sussex was considered only
incidental to the main issue.
Until President Wilson himself de-
cides whether the German note is
acceptable there will be no an
nouncement of the attitude of the
government.

man suffrage speech that was enthus-
iastlcally received.
In addition to the four delegates at
large who were chosen without con-
test. the name of Fred Paul Grosscup,
Of Kanawha county, had been pro-
posed. but Mr.. Grosscup withdrew in
the interest of harmony, incidentally
making patriotic speech that
brought cheers.
The result of the convention was
regarded by political observers as an
absolute inclination OF the strength OF
the two candidates for the Republi-
can nomination for governor. Hat
field, Elkins and Ogden are known
to favor Judge Robinson for the
nomination, while Mann is said to
favor Attorney General Lilly. Rob-
inson leaders claimed ability TO
name all the delegates-at-large but
conceded in the interest of party
harmony. The resolution endorsing
the state administration also were
taken as blow to the candidacy of
the attorney general, as Mr.. Lilly is
an INSTRUMENTATION candidate.
The following resolution, intro
duced by Judge Reese Blizzard, Of
Parkersburg, was adopted amid
cheers:
Resolved, That the splendid and
great Republican administration OF
Governor Henry D. Hatfield be and
the same hereby is unequivocally and
