AMERICAS WARNING
Grave Consequences May Follow At
tacks upon L. S. Submarine

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE United
States Government in a solemn note
of warning has served notice on Great
Britain, France, Russia and Japan
that they must accept the grave con-
sequences which will follow any at
tack on American submarines result
ling from the allied campaign against
German U-boats.. ...R
Publication by the STATE Depart
ment of this note of warning to the
entente powers has made it plain that
the operation of German submarines
! off the American coast carries with
it the gravest peril to American neH-
trality this nation has faced during
! the war.
The newly announced position OF the
United States was taken in response
to a warning by the allied powers
that there was danger of attack by
allied warships on neutral submar;-
mes if neutrals permitted German sub
marines to enter their waters, since
it might be impossible to distinguish
! between neutral and enemy subma-
rines.
Secretary of State Lansing re-
garded this as a threat and in re-
sponse TO the allied memoranda SER
ed this counter-warning:
an order, however, that there
should be no misunderstanding as tc
the attitude of the United States, the
Government of the United Staes an
nounces to the allied powers that il
holds it to be the duty of belligerent
powers TO distinguish between sub
marines of neutral and belligeren1
nationality, and that the responsible
lity for any conflict that may aris:
between belligerert warships and neu
trail submarines on account Of tn'
neglect of a belligerent to distinguish
between these classes of submarine
must rest entirely upon the negligen
power.
The exchange of memoranda tool
iplace after the German submarin;
Deutschland entered port at Balti
more and the British government
sought to have the United States or
der its internment as warship: Ne;
ther the Allies note nor the Amerl
can reply was then made public, how
ever.

ladies' Auxiliary to Attend Masonic
Bazaar This Evening-Band Com
ing Over From Washington--Lively
Contest for Silver Cup.

Everyone present at the Masonic
bazaar last evening entered heartily
into the spirit of the occasion and as
result all enjoyed the program
given.
Much interest is being shown in the
beautiful silver loving cup presented
by President Fairfax Harrison of the
Southern Railway. Every railroad
man is eligible to enter this contest,
both electric and steam roads, and
while none Of the electric railway
men or men of the r. f. and ?. Rail
road have entered the contest it IS
understood that many Of them Will do
so at an early date. TIE vote last
night stood as follows:
E. Fuller 6; w. L. F'inks l3; F..
F. Ticer 81; F.. Fl. Kemper II; 4.

Every lover of good music should
attend the bazaar tonight. The Fra
ternity band of the Lambs Skin Club
of Washington, consisting of forty
pieces will be in attendance and fur
nish the music for the occasion. This
now famous organization, composed
entirely of members Of the Masonic
order. was instituted primarily for
the sole purpose Of amusing and en-
tertaining It's own members and with
out the slightest expectation OF
reaching even a measure Of Gistinc-
sion in the world of music. But under
The hands of skillful and accomplish
ed leaders it has developed the high
est order of talent. Each member has
his separate daily vocation, and music
20 them is in the nature Of recreation
or work Of love. Answering every
caIl for charitable, benevolent or pat
riotic purposes whenever possible 70
10 so, they render service Of high
order of merit.
1t is to be hoped that Alexandria,
admittedly the most renowned Ma
sonic community in America, will he
present in large numbers at Armory
Hall to give cordial greeting to these
talented visitors, who are unse!iishly
donating their service to further an
object of vital interest. not only to
masons but to every citizen who
cherishes our old city's past and
hopes for equally as brilliant a future.
The band will probably leave the
train at Henry street or some other
uptown point and march down King
to Armory Hall arriving there at
about o'clock.
The ladies of Alexandria, Washing
ron Lodge have decided to furnish a
business mems lunch on Friday and
Saturday Of this week from 1895
20 ? o'clock, and the indications are
that large number of business men
will avail themselves Of this oppor-
tunity to assist the bazaar. This
booth also serves supper every even
ing after six o'clock.

TO the Memory of a
FEMALE STRANGER.


Whose mortal sufferings terminated
On the 18th day of October, 1915,
Aged 90 years and s months
This Stone is placed here by her
disconsolate Husband,
in whose arms she sighed out her
Latest breath. and who, under GOD
Did his utmost even to sooth the co'H
dull ear Of death.
"How lov'd, how valu'd once ava!ls
thee not,
To whom related. or by whom begot,
A heap of dust alone remains OF thee.
'I'is all thou art and ali the proud
shall be-"
"To Him gave all the Prophets
witness that through His name whose
ever believeth in Him. shall receive
remission Of sins. Acts, 10 chap.
43 verse.
There is an apocryhal story to the
effect that gentleman, accompanied
by lady very i'll, arrived at Alexan-
dria and put up at the City Hotel. She
remained in her room until her death
on October II. Her husband was
very taciturn. and gave no informa-
ton as to himself or family. After
the death of the lady he purchased
the lot above referred to and erected
the tomb, giving in payment of his
debt drafts on England (Which ira
dition says were returned dishonored
He then disappeared and was never
again heard of, although it is claimed
by some old people that he was seen
in prison in Northern State. The
incident led to the publication in 1866
by the late VIM. F. Carne of most
interesting story, entitled, sslarra-
tive of John Trust"
During the past century many
stories have been recited concerning
this tomb. Old people were wont to
tell us remarkable yarns to the eff
feet that after the tomb had been
neglected for years it would sud-
denly appear in a cleanly condition
banked with flowers, with grass and
weeds cleared from the enclosure. No
one could be found who witnessed the
garniture, and it was whispered that
a stranger was wont to appear at the
sepluchre on dark nights and employ
some one to do the work.
1t was also reported that the tomb
was more imposing at first than at
present, and that an iron railing was
originally placed around the enclo-
sure. =.
The most generally accepted story
concerning the "Female Stranger" Is
that she was the daughter of an
English nobleman who had married a
man beneath her in social standing,
and that she had fled to America with
her husband, where she would be un-
known. Another makes the man an
offspring of nobility who had welded
woman below his station in life.
The poetry upon the slab seems 20
suggest the latter.
The tomb, however, still remains as
mute as the Sphinx of Egypt, ard
will doubtless remain so until that day
when that which has been done IL
secret shall be proclaimed upon the
housetops.

THE N. M. D. A.

Some seven years ago the Northern
Minnesota Development association
was organized in Bemidji. Today it
Is a healthy, progressive and aggres-
sive organization. The association
has in great measure carried out
its high purpose, the development of
Northern Minnesota.
Tomorrow the association will hold
it's seventh annual meeting in Be-
midi. Hundreds of delegates from
all sections of the state will be pres
ent and matters of great interest and
great Importance will be discussed.
This association represents 10
counties with an aggregate area of
twenty million acres Of land-two-
fifths of the state of Minnesota.
There has been some discussion in
regard to disseminating the associa-
ton. Dame Rumor has come forth
with the statement that this would
probably be the last meeting.
Stop!
The delegates should not for a mo-
ment consider the disorganization of
the association. The work is not
done-it has just begun. Much re-
mains to be done for the betterment
of conditions and the advancement of
Northern Minnesota. The meeting
will be held tomorrow because the
agricultural area of Northern Min
nesota is yet undeveloped.
We hope that the matter of dis
organization will not be- considered
at all.

THE MESSAGE.

In a simple, appropriate manner,
President Wilson read his message to
the 64th congress which has begun
it's dying session.
If congress passes the measures
urged upon it by the president, it
will have plenty to do before March
f.
President Wilson urged the en-
largement and administrative reor-
ganization of the Interstate Com
MERGE commission; he urged provi-
sions for public investigation and as
seSsment of all industrial disputes;
he urged that the national executive
be given power to take over, control
and operate the railways when neces-
sary in time of war or other like pub
lie necessity.
Nothing was said in regard to the
h. c. |. by the president, but it is
believed that he is studying the sit
uation and that he will later deliver
a special message when plan he
deems feasible has been found
