When the smoke of battle has clear

have burned out and left us in a state

without malice or venom candor com

and a word of appreciation to our
worthy townsman, Ex-senator Fred +.
Dubois.
Few in our community appreciate
the high regard in which this man
stands in national politics. The man

American Reply
to German Note
Is Brief, Pointed

Washington, May 10.-Following Is
the text Of the note cabled by Secre-
tary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin with instructions to deliver
1t to the German minister of foreign
affairs
THE note OF the Imperial German
government under date of May 4, 1916,
has received careful consideration by
the government of the United States.
Il is especially noted as indicating the
purpose OF the Imperial German gov
eminent as to the future, that it is
prepared to do it's utmost to confine the
operation of the war for the rest of it's
duration to the fighting forces of the
belligerents, and that it is determined
to impose upon all it's commanders at
sea the limitations of the recognized
rules of international law upon which
the government of the United States
has insisted.
Guided by Friendship.
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the Imperial government
announced on February 4, 1915, its
submarine policy, now happily aban-
doned, the government Of the United
States has been constantly guided and
restrained by motives of friendship in
its patient efforts to bring to an annie
able settlement the critical questions
arising from that policy.
Accepting the Imperial govern
ment's declaration of it's abandonment
of the policy which has so seriously
menaced the good relations between
the two countries, the government of
the United States will rely on a scru-
pulous execution henceforth of the
now altered policy of the Imperial gov
eminent, as such as will remove the
principal danger to an interruption of
the good relations existing between the
United States and Germany.
New Policy Made Clear.
The government Of the United
States feels it necessary to state that
Ut takes it for granted that the I'M
perial German government does not
intend to imply that the maintenance
OF its newly announced policy is in
any way contingent upon the course or
tween the Government of the United
States and any other belligerent gov
eminent, Notwithstanding the fact that
the certain passages in the Imperial
governments note OF the fourth in
slant might appear to be susceptible
of that construction.
In order, however, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding the gov
eminent Of the United States notifies
the Imperial government that 1t can.
not for moment entertain, much less
discuss, a suggestion that respect by
German naval authorities for the
rights Of citizens of the United States
upon the high seas should in any way
or in the slightest degree be made
contingent upon the conduct of any
other government affecting the rights
OF neutrals and noncombatants. Re
sponsibility in such matters Is single.
not joint: absolute. not relative

NEGLIGIBLE IN A FARLEY

ence to Establish Foundations fer
Peace, He Tells Represc
Of Union Against MiIitarism-
Favors Military Training.

Washington, May 10.-Hope that at
the end of the present war the nations
of the world would undertake joint
effort to keep the peace, backed by
common police force, was expressed
by President Wilson In an interview
with a committee of the American
Union Against Militarism, which call
ed to protest his preparedness pro-
gram and advise him that they had
found fear of militarism in the coun-
try west Of the Alleghenies.
The President told his callers that
helpless nation would be negligible
in conference to establish the
foundations for peace. He said there
was difference between prepared
ness and militarism, that the country
was in no danger of the latter, and in
response to a question declared that
compulsory military training was not
contrary to American tradition.
For Military Training.
The committee insisted that on &C.
count of his office the President most
frequently addressed audiences from
the upper classes and that the re-
Spouse he received upon the proposal
to increase the military were mislead.
ing him as to the true sentiment OF
the country.
To this Mr. Wilson replied:
THE currents of opinion, or, rath-
err, the bodies of opinion in this coun-
try, are very hard to assess. For ex-
ample, Mayor Mitchell of New York
City and a group of gentlemen asso-
ciated with him made a tour not I'M

ings, and they came back and report
ed In most enthusiastic terms unanim-
GUS opinion, not for universal military
service. but very distinctly for uni
versal military training, which. of
course, is very different thing.
Not Militarlsm, But Necessity.
Now I see the danger that Mr.
Pfnchot perceives in the laws that he
referred to, because they seem to as
sociate military training with public
authority and to draw that training
into some sort of connection with mill
tary organization.
"A nation acquainted with arms is
not q milftaristic nation, unless there
Is somebody who can by an order de.
termine what they shall all do with

ems in a neighboring country. as In
Mexico. and everybody apparently a
law unto himself, there are not men
enough to safeguard that border, And
yet 1t is obviously the right thing to-
DO to keep the disorder of the country
from flowing over to disturb the peace
OF another country. That is not mill.
tarism, that is necessary.
For Very Powerful Navy.
I do not need to tell you that ann
just as much opposed to militarism
as any man living
THE traditions of the American
people have always been for very
powerful navy. We have never heer
jealous of the navy even in our most
sensitive moments"

thing in my power that a conflict be-
tween the two countries might be

IT PAYS TO. ADvERT1sE

Last week Dr. Stewart concluded he
would dispose of his Buick six-cylinder
roadster, an excellent machine which he
purchased this summer and which had
Travelled less, than one thousand miles.
Accordingly he did what wise men al
ways do when they desire to dispose of
any kind of article-he advertised in
the Post. He placed n small reader in
the paper at cost of ninety cents and
the first issue containing the notice
brought five inquiries. One Of those
who sought information concerning tho
car that was offered for sale was Hans
s. Henrickson, the next county commits
sioner of Garfield county from the sec.
ond district. Mr.. Hcnrickson has grown
tired of jogging along behind the plow
horses or waiting for belated trains
when he wants to come to rGlenwood or
60 anywhere else, and decided that he
would join the other progressive farm
ers and ride in buzz wagon hereafter.
He examined the car offered by Dr..
Stewart, watched it perform and decid.
ed that 1t would suit him to . T.. The
price was right and deal WAS quickly
made whereby DR.. Stewart WAS soon In
possession Of the amount Of cash he
fixed as the value of the car and Hen
rickson is the owner Of one Of the
many excellent cars enjoyed by Garfield
county farmers, and both are satisfied.
