EFFORTS BY U. S.
Washington Report Reveals
Kaiser's Bad Faith.
WILSON DELAYED WAR MOVE
President Promised Won Bernstorff
That Drastic Action Would Be De-
Iayed Until He Reached
Berlin.

Washington, June 25.-An official
history of the entry Of the United
States into the European war was Is
sued by the committee on public infor-
nation.
The document reveals bad faith and
treachery by the kaiser and forced the
United States TO declare war.
How the War Came to America" is
It's title. The pamphlet is published in
response to a demand from all parts of
the country for a detailed statement
of our reasons for pouring out blood
and money to defeat Germany.
Approved by Wilson.
Although prepared by George Creel
chairman of the information commit
tee, there are indications in the text
that some parts were written or die
tated by the state department, apd
other paragraphs show the touch Of
the presidential pen.
The document was passed upon by
both President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing.
Bernstorff Begged Delay.
Some secret history Is told. 1t Is
made known for the first time that
prior to his departure for Berlin Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, begged that no irrevocable de-
cision should be taken until he had the
chance to make one final plea for peace
to his sovereign"
Because of this plea, no step that
could be interpreted as an act of war
was taken by the United States until
Bernstorff had arrived in Berlin and
had an opportunity to see the kaiser.
Bernstorff's Plan Fails.
Not until March II, more than five
weeks after the severance of relations
with Germany, were armed guards
placed on American merchant ships.
And three weeks more elapsed before
the declaration of a state of war.
1--WE do not know the nature of Count
Bernstorff's report to the kaiser" said
the official historian. 1--WE know only
! that even If he kept his pledge and
| urged an eleverrh-hour revocation o:
the submarine order, he was unable I,

possible. Twenty-Five hundred or

A SNAKE AND RAT STORY

Bull snakes will kill and eat rats.
So will other snakes but bull snake
demonstrated his ability at the rear
of the postoffice building last Friday
afternoon. j. ]. Keraus furnished
the rat and Bud Jones furnished the
snake and the demonstration was pull
ed off in an empty water tank. The
snake needed meal and the rat need
ed to be killed so they were turned
loose together in the tank. A few
spectators gathered around the tank
but that made no difference to the
combatants. Speculation ran high as
to which would open the encounter
age things if he caught the rat. The
matter was soon settled. The snake
and the rat eyed each other closely
and cautiously came together. The
rat jumped at the snake but that
jump was his last. In about a quar-
ter of second Mr.. Snake had him by
the back of the neck and was lovingly
incircling him with the rest of his
body. The rat didn't even have time
to squeel before its life and wind were
crushed out and most of its ribs were
broken. Cautiously the snake caught
the rat by the head and gradually re-
Taxed his body holt and the process of
eating a meal of rat meat commenced.
There is no chewing done when a
snake eats a rat but it is swallowed
whole from head to tail. 1t doesn't
seem to be very easy task but the
snake gradually works himself over
the rat and seems to follow out the
advice that it is better for the stom-
ach if the meal is eaten slowly. 1t
was an averaged sized rat. and the
snake was about five feet long The
snake could easily survive month on
his meal of rat steak but he gets
along better if he is fed little often
er.
In this connection we might add
that Bud has a snake menagerie at
his garage near the DIR. Jones home
in which he has large RATHER, bull
snake, blue racer and a dozen or so
other kinds or varieties some of which
he has been unable to find names for
They were all caught by him in this
county.

G. .. Simpson comes from
Philadelphia to Manage
Southwest Territory for
Rubber Company.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 23rd.-A
great deal of history of our great south
west has been made alike by men who
came here to seek fortune and by others
who were sent here by reason of their
capacities for doing big things.
A most significant example of this
latter instance is the recent appoint
ment of Mr.. G. o. Simpson as manager
of the interests of The 3. T. Goodrich
Rubber Company in Kansas, Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Western Missouri and Southern Ne
braska, with his Office in Kansas City.
This territory is the largest in the
United States, coming under the direct
supervision of any of the Goodrich
Branch Managers, and in this connec-
ton it is interesting to note how the
big business institutions of today train
their young men for such positions of
responsibility.
Mr.. Simpsons experience with the
big rubber company began in Decem-
Der, 1902, when he was second assistant
paymaster at the factories in Akron.
As late as September, 1905, he had his
first sales experience as a salesman in
the Boston Branch of the Goodrich Com
pany. His training and success as a
salesman did not pass unnoticed for in
February, 1907, promotion came in his
appointment as Assistant Manager of
the Philadelphia office, at that time one
of the most important posts in the or
ganization.
In less than three years he had so
completely mastered the details and
problems confronting an assistant man
ager that he was advanced and became
Manager of the big Philadelphia
Branch which also had supervision over
the territory including Virginia. Mary
land, Delaware, Southeastern Pennsyl-
wanna, and portions of New Jersey.
10 1T is an established ard proven theory
among the nation IS big business men,
that in order to develop successful men
in any organization it is necessary to
give them added responsibilities from
time to time. This has been particu-
larly true of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber
tically every official of this big com
pany made his start in an inconspicuous
position at the factories at Akron.
When q change in the management of
the great southwest territory was first
contemplated Goodrich officials decided
that such responsibilities should rest
with a man who had given evidence of
being able to cope with and shoulder
them, and still have a capacity for do
ing even greater things.
In an interview, shortly after coming
TO Kansas City recently, Mr.. Simpson
said: "Like other fasteners I had
heard a great deal of the great south
west, but back in Pennsylvania and the
eastern states where the industries are
so thickly settled, had no idea of the
immense resources of this territory.
Imagine my surprise, when after travel
ing, practically through the big steei
mills and business sections of the east,
on my first trip here, to find that the
southwest is really the larder of the
nation not only in the production of
grains but of oil. The wheat fields of
the east in comparison with those of
the southwest are mere war gardens ,
and this comparison applies as well to
the oil felds.''
