bounds of neutrality, as far as the
United States are concerned
Foreign Secretary Grey said:
ave have no understanding with the
United States government as to what
information they are going to get IRE
garding the U-53's activities or what
they will do with the information when
they have obtained it. All we can do
is to obtain information for ourselves
from such sources as are open to Us.
Full reports, trust, will reach the
Admiralty in due course as TO the
statements of survivors, and when
these reports arc received ] cannot
imagine any reason why they should
not be made public in this country or
that there will be any reluctance on
the part of the Admiralty or among
the departments concerned 20 making
public the facts which we shall have
got for ourselves as to how the vessels
were sunk and treated by the German
submarines"
Have Proof Of Violations
Lord Sydenham," continued VS.
count Grey, quoted statements made
by Lord Crewe in August of the num-
Der of vessels sunk by German subma-
rines since the German government
gave a pledge to the United States
government. and in circumstances
which were apparently not in accord
ance with that pledge. including the
firing Of torpedoes at ships without
warning and insuficiently providing
for the safety Of the crews or passen-
gers when the ships were sunk.
al am sure the Admiralty lindeed. |
think il has been made public can
multiply instances which have occurred
since the middle of August and are oc-
curing every week Of Allied or neu-
trail merchant vessels having torpedoes
fred at them without warning, and IN
some cases loss OF life occurring from
crews being placed in open boats as
the only chance of safety when the
vessel is sunk.
These instances are occurring IN
different parts of the world. II he asks
whether thew occurred off the United
States coast the other day, that is a
matter on which | cannot pronounce
any opinion uulll We bIS NlIN AaNNof bNS
if he wishes to know whether they are
occurring elsewhere it is undoubtedly
a fact, and we have published instances
quite lately of its occurring in the
Mediterranean and elsewhere.
United States Must Decide Policy
81 see no use at this moment Of dis
cussing the question. The pledge was
one which passed between the govern
ment Of Germany and the government
of the United States. 1t is not pledge
given to US.
81 do not think that at the present
moment we can do any good whatever
b. discussing the question of what the
policy or the action of the United
States is or ought to be toward the
German government in regard TO that
subject. That is matter for the
United States itself.
II do not think Allied interests or
the interests OF these merchant ves-
sells could be served by raising any dis
cussion in this country at the present
moment with regard TO a matter which
is one between the United States gov
eminent and the German government"

HOG PRICES GET

South St. Paul. May sO.-The heavi-
est run Of hogs here since the middle
Of March and the largest on record
for a session in the month OF May
reached the yards here yesterday.
This fact, with the bearish tone OF
outside advices, put sellers at dis
advantage and it was impossible to
avert a break Of 10 to is cents from
closing values Of last week
The downward trend which began
last week and carried rates 35 to 40
cents down from the seasons high
spot, touched on May 20, was con-
tinued throughout Yesterdays session.
The light stuff from 1870 pounds
down was sharply Disseminated
against. being rated so, cents to q
dollar under the better qualified and
spread was from 50 to $3.50, top Being
paid only for high grade class
which had limited representation.
Bulk OF the drove landed at 1925
and 1886 while pigs were quoted
mostly from So to $S.25.

wheat. The market closed unsettled,

July at s1.07 7-s and September at

Fresh rainfalls that gave moisture
where most needed in the southwest
left the wheat bulls without any i'm
mediate argument to uphold beliefs in
higher values. AS consequence.
commission houses were literally sup
piled with orders to sell out holdings.

bears had no intention to delay put

ket had broken about 1-2c bushel.
After that. the shorts. taking into
view the holiday yesterday, evinced a
disposition to even up trades.
Increasing stocks at Liverpool

against the bulls in wheat, and so al

greatly exceeded the total which had

Assertions that much replanting
would be necessary in Illinois, Iowa
and Nebraska lifted the corn market.
Moreover. the cold wet weather was
accompanied by complaints that no
replanting could be done until after at
least several dry hot days Oats

G. ST. JOHN PERROT,

Perhaps no other man who has &c
long been connected with the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota has been so lit
tie known to the general public as
Professor Perrot. whose death occur.
red on Sunday. but no man has been
more highly respected or more deeply
loved by those who have been his init.
mates. Professor Perrot had spent a
quarter Of a century in the service OF
the university. He. with Just a few
others who are still with US, helped to
guide the university through the dark
days when its very life was in peril
and his entire life. since he became
connected with it. has been one of de.
votion to it's interests.
The profound scholarship and Der.
sonal charm Of Professor Perrot were
known to but few. for he was one OF
the most self-effacing Of men, He
shrank from publicity in all its forms
On the rare occasions when he could
De induced to appear in public his ad
dresses were sources Of delight to
those who listened to them, but his
dislike Of publicity and. in later years
the burden Of the malady which re.
suited in his death. made these occa.
sions all too infrequent. He loved the
work Of his class room, the youns
people with whom he was thrown ir
contact. and to these he gave the
fruits of mature mind and an in.
dustry which made too great drair
on his physical resources. Quiet, un.
assuming. uncom mplaining. loyal to tn.
core, a gentleman in every fiber of hi.
being. he is gone to his rest.

Washington, May so.-state de-

n1ystified yesterday over the failure OF
the new note from General Carranza
to reach the department Of the Mexi-

indicated that it was to be expected

but declared he had no knowledge of
the note whatever. and merely had
come to Washington on vacation.
No Information.
Elisio Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate. with whom Men

sages from the. foreign office con-

MIR. HILL AND GRAND FORKS.

The news of the death Of James J.
Hill. received with regret wherever
the great constructor was known. was
matter for special sorrow in Grand
Forks. for many of the associations Of
Mr. Hills earlier life cluster around
this city and the people who first es-
tablished themselves here. Mr.. Hill
made many trips through the valley
before the first rails of his road were
laid. and he was familiar with tho
place as a stage station and stopping
place in those early days Captain
Griggs. the founder Of the city. was
his business associate. OF those who
are no longer residents Of the city,
William Bulge. George B. winship
and John P. Bray, among others, were
either engaged III the transportation
work Of which Mr. Hill was the head
or were thrown into close personal
contact with him. or our present
residents there are many of whom
this Ia true. and these men have al
ways been regarded with affection by
Mr.. Hill. Those who enjoyed Mr..
Hills personal acquaintance know
that he looked back on the experience
es Of those pioneer days with delight,
and that because of the personal
friends whom he had here he always
regarded Grand Forks as one of his
home places"
The feeling which these early set
tiers had for Mr. Hill was that Of
friend for friend. Those old COM
rades admired his constructive ability.
They knew that In certain important
lines Of financial ability he filled a
place which no other man has ever
filled, which. perhaps. no other man
Is capable of filling. But their re-
gard for him was based. not on his
achievements, but on his character
To them he was. first and foremost,
the good conrade. the Joint sharer Of
privation, the fellow optimist who, in
dark places, could always see light,
the man with the big heart and dem
ocratic spirit. who knew manhood
when he saw 1t and respected it wher-
ever he found 1t. To these men the
genius who has created empires and
aided in the solution Of world prob
lens will always be held In affection
ate remembrance.

MORE PEACE RuMoRs.

More peace rumors come from Eu-
rope. 1t is. not surprising that these
runors should emanate from Berlin.
for it ia apparent that Germany has
the most to gain and the least to lose
by the consummation Of peace now.
Il seems absurd to discuss the impos-
sible. but there is at least the recog-
milton of a patent fact in the state
ment which is often made that Ger
many could have secured better terms
Of peace from the allies six months
ago than she could now. AS mat
tor Of fact, there were no terms six
months ago, and there is little rea-
son TO believe that there are any now.
Germany would doubtless be willing
to concede more now than she would
have done six months ago. but, so far
az the world has any knowledge, the
allies are formulating no demands.
So far as all outward appearances go.
they are still determined to whip
Germany. and their purpose seems not
to go beyond that.
The allies are as weary Of war as
Germany is. 1t is costing them un-
told sums of money and immense
numbers of men. 1t is disorganizing
industry Of all kinds and is bringing
suffering to men and women both at
home and abroad. Nevertheless,
from the standpoint Of the allies. the
war must. go on. Theirs Is not a case
Of bloodthirstiness. but merely TIE
working out Of what appears to them
to be the necessary and inevitable.
Germany is not beaten She oc-
cupies foreign territory, and her en-
emies have not yet been able to dis
lodge her There has been no inti-
nation from Berlin or elsewhere Of
any terms of peace which Germany
might now be willing to concede that
the allies would be at all likely to ac-
cept Hence the war Is likely to 20
on. If not to finish. at least until
one side or the other has a greater
advantage than exists at present.

TALKING IN PUBLIC,

The investigation of cases in which
listening over telephone wires is said

New York Times:
Now that people are talking so

thereof. 1t might be we'll for them to
remember that there is nothing really
new in the knowledge that whoever

which the thing is done.

Thief River Falls, Mimi, May 30
The gasoline launch, carrying e. J..

daughter on their perilous. trip to the
Red Lake Indian reservation on q
pleasure trip over two weeks ago, put
into Thief River Falls Sunday night,

were lost in the Red Lake during the
storm.
Michaels reports a strenuous trip
down the ahores Of the lake and into
the Red Lake river, his engine failing
him in one instance ana 1t being me-
cessary to put to shore to make re-
pairs. The boat was capsized at the
outlet. where the river enters the
lake, and 1t was only by heroic effort
that he was a BILE to keep his wife ana
daughter afioat until help came from
the nearby shore.
Searching parties have been out
for several days and Monday got
word from an Indian guide that they
were safe at the camp on the reser-
vation. They left their camp Tues
dav and worked their way along shore
into the river. avoiding stormy wealth
