 STEEL BY WAR RULE

WASHINGTON, May 14-Acting un- der authority conferred by war emer- gency legislation, the navy department today placed an order for what amounts to a requisition for 14000 tons of steel with the Carnegie Steel com pany.

The previously submitted bids were rejected on the ground that they showed no indications of competition.
 The order, according to an an- nouncement issued by acting Secretary Roosevelt. was placed "at a tentative price, subject to later adjustment, and explained that the Carnegie company was the only bidder submitting esti- mates on the entire order.

GERMAN NOTES GET CONSIDERATION BUT
 WITH SCANT REWARD
Reference to Prisoners Goes To Committees-Teutons Appear Willing To Repair Devastated Belgium And France

PARIS. May 1.-The answers of the council of four to the German notes OF prisoners of war and labor subjects were delivered this afternoon.
 One of the later German notes, deal ing with economic clauses of the treaty. declares that they mean the ruin of Germany if they are enforced. A note on territorial questions protests par ticularly against the Sarre valley ar rangement and the transfer of the Nal medy, Moresnet and Eupen districts to Belgium, as well as the forced eyacu- ation of a part of Schleswig. A note on reparations does not pro test against the payment by Germany for the devastation wrought in Belgium and northern France, which, it says, Germany is ready to do willingly. It is added, however that Germany will not pay reparation for this damage on the principle that she was responsible for the war.
 Note on Prisoners The German note on tn. question Of prisoners says:
 ''The German peace delegation notes with satisfaction that the project rec | ognizes the principle of the return of l prisoners of war and civilians, with the | least possible delay. The delegation deems that all the details of the exc cutiOn of this measure ought to be submitted to a special commission. Direct oral discussion between the commission and nearly all the belliger- ents, concerning prisoners of war, have | been considered, even during hostili- | ties, as the surest means of solving the | difficulties. It ought today to be all the easier to reconcile the different view points and clear up certain oDscurities still existing on certain details of the problem.
 For instance, as result of the di- versity of the viewpoint of the law in the different countries interested, the | German delgation considers it indis- pensable that prisoners or war and the civilians undergoing penalties for oth CT infractions than those of discipline should be in a group that ought to be repatriated internationally. Germany has recognized this principle regarding prisoners of war and civilians Of the allied and associated powers in ii. custody.
 Referred to Committees
 'The German delegation deems I necessary for reasons of equity to ac-
 cord certain improvements in the treat ment of prisoneds, military and civil
 ians, pending the time when they ma!
 return to their own country"
 The three new notes rom Count vol
 Brockdorff- -Rantzau have been referred
 by the council Of four to special com
 mittees.
 The report of the committee on tn
 German note regarding cnanges in tn labor convention, has been approve' and sent to the Germans. Close scrut iny of the treaty revealed several omis sions. The council corrected one o these by deciding to insert a claus providing for the withdrawal of repre- sentation on the separations commis sion On twelve months notice.

The bond election held Tuesday at
Sites and Clearwater for the bonding
Of the Clearwater Highway district for
the sum of $50, 600, resulted almost un-
SnimOusly in favor of issuing the bonds

near Harpster, the Clearwater High

only ten miles. The district adjoins

A o. Martins Public Sale Attracted
Enthusiastic BUYERS.

held today at the farm a few miles
from Cottonwood, is reported to have
