- 1T OF the mass OF conflicting
views Of American newspapers
- regarding the German reply TO
the American demands. one opinion
seems TO stand out strongly: that the
German concession, if it meets the de-
maDds at all, averts but temporarily
the danger Of break between Ger
many and the United States.
Editors refer to temporary ar
rangement and TO averting a breach
FOR the time being thus showing a
lively apprehension that the proposed
new orders TO submarine commanders,
far from removing entirely the posi-
bility Of a rupture and war between
America and the imperial government,
merely postpones IT,
press the utmost divergency Of Opin-
ION regarding the note. some contend
ing that the reply meets American de-
mands. and others that il is no reply

Say This is Not First Time
Germany Has Instructed
U-Boat Commanders.

Paris, France, May 6.-The French
press subjects the German note to the
United states to severe analysis, draw
ing varying conclusions from it. Some
newspapers consider that Germany has
yielded. although with bad grace. 9th
ers believe the document is a tortuous
refusal
The Petit Journal says Germany GER
tainly makes a concession on the essen
tial point OF sinking vessels without
warning, but in the next breath seems to
make capital out Of that concession bv
asking the United States to enforce re-
spect for liberty Of the seas. This
means in substance, the newspaper
says. the suppression or at least atten-
uation of the blockade from which the
German people are suffering more and
more.
The Petit Parisien says the note con-
tains little that is new. It offers con-
cessions, but this is not the first time
Germany has spoken of having issued
humane instructions to submarine com
manders

SAY FARLEY MAY
LEAD To PEACE
Holland Thinks Germany
Has in View Hope That
War May Be Ended.

London, Eng, May 6.-The Daily
News gives prominent place in TO-
days issue to a long dispatch from
Rotterdam asserting that there is a
strong belief in Holland that the Ger
! man note to the United states was
carefully prepared in the hope that If
may lead eventually to peace neeotia-
lions. The dispatch says:
There is belief here that behind
that the whole cloud of vague and con-
ditional promises lies the hone that
negotiations for peace will be opened
with England through the mediation
of the United States. According TO
this view, Germany hopes that Wash
ington will first open a discussion on
the subject Of contraband and the naval
blockade which will widen by easv
stages to eventual discussion of pesce
conditions In American circles in
Berlin it is believed that ambassador
Gerard, during his recent visit to the
l1aiser's headquarters at the front dis
cussed matters far wider in range
than merely the questions at issue be-
tween Berlin and Washington"
The Daily News correspondent also
saws that the Wolff Bureau sent out
an article this week in which an anony-
nous neutral discusses the relations
between Germany and the United
States and suggests that the ambassa-
doris now have an opportunity to lay
the foundations for peace.
Keen Interest I'm England.
Interest with which Germanys reply
to the United States was awaited here
could hardly have been exceeded In
America. All the evening yesterday,
newspapers printed the note promi-
nently by sections in successive edi-
lions The greatest curiosity was ex-
pressed as to the reception of the note
by the United States.
The morning newspapers. almost
without exception, print editorials on
the note and express more or less de-
cided opinions on it.
1T can mean only a break between
Germany and America, says the News.
The phraseOlogy Of the German reply.
which manifestly was designed to i'm
press the German people with the jus
tice OF their cause and to throw the
onus OF hostile action Of America is in
itself sufficient I'm its oblique, but cal
culated. effrontery to impel the gov
eminent OF a powerful and Independent
people to action.
''The essential fact is that Americas
specific demands are at every point
either completely evaded or met by
concession so esmasculated by the con
dition on which it hangs as to be APP
a flat refusal.

man reply as 'insOlent. cynical and dis |

the world can understand the face
which bears the seal of virtue of Of
vice, of Christlikeness or of brutality
and sin.
An exchange tells of an infidel
Swiss artist who was converted merely
by studying the faces of very hum
BILE band of Christians. He was COM
missioned to make a caricature of a
Salvation Army meeting in Sheffield,
England. "He went there on that err
rand and scanned the faces of the
people; he-with his heart like the
troubled sea that could find no rest,
tossed and driven by tempests of pas
sion and tormented by a conscience
burdened with sin-looked on the as
sembled worshipers and saw peace
written on their faces and an inward
joy beaming from their countenances.
The sight convinced him Of his sinful
ness. He saw those people had what
he had not and what he needed; and
their faces were the means Of leading
him to Christ and the peace which
Christ alone can give"
The face of the Christian may not
shine like that of Moses did when he
came from Sinai, but Christ's seal is
set upon it, and in proportion as he
lives Christ it reflects the purity and
love and peace of the Lord and is
help and inspiration to weaker souls.

SAME OLD TRICKS.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 19.-The re-
publicans appear to be up to their same
old tricks they tried to work when they
were depending on democratic votes to
maintain them in power. They are
playing to democratic votes, and at
the same time abusing democrats.

Mr.. Hooper said that Congressman
McKellar's friends in the cities wer
preparing to knife" Gov. Rye; and
that this was excuse enough for Gov
Rye's friends to "knife" Mr.. Mcclellan
Judge L. D. Hill, chairman of the
state democratic campaign committee
denounced this republican bid fol
votes in short order.
"This is the most despicable thing
democrats were ever called upon tt
listen to ;" said Judge Hill. "Ths
trouble is that the republicans have ne
issue either in the state or nation, anC
they resort to bids of this kind fol-
democratic votes. This is straight
fight between the republican party a.
its worst and the democratic party a
it's best. There is absolutely no diff
ference among democrats.
"The truth is, if there really is an!
difference in the vote in the cities, Gov
Rye will lead the ticket. Even in Mem

SALT EVAPORATION
Al BIG INDUSTRY

In the production of that indispensi-
BILE condiment, salt, the United States
is happily independent of all other
countries. The 1921, 496 barrels of
salt produced in 1915 by ID states,
Porto Rico and Hawaii constituted SO
per cent of the salt consumed in the
United States, and much more could
easily have been supplied had the de-
mand required it, according to the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior.
Salt occurs naturally in two distinct
ways-as rock salt, in beds or associ-
ated with bedded or sedimentary de-
posits, and in natural brine.' The larg-
er part of our salt is obtained by con-
verting rock salt that lies deep below
the earth's surface into artificial
brines, which are pumped to the sur
face and there evaporated. Some idea
of the quantity of salt evaporated
from natural brines may be gained
from statistics of the output of New
York, Michigan, and Kansas alone,
three large salt producing states, for
the calendar year 1915. In Michigan
6,7O8,261 barrels of evaporated salt,
having a value of $3,695,692, were
produced; in New York, 3;443,464 bar
rels, valued at $1,720, 434; and in Kan
jsas, 1901, 756 barrels, valued at $685.
