ACCEPT PLEDGES OF
GERMANY AID III
MUST NOT BE BASED ON LIMIT
OF BRITISH BLOCKADE,
HOWEVER.
PRESIDENT OTS A NOTE
Right Of American Citizens Must In
No Way be Contingent Upon the
Conduct of Any Other Nation in
War.
WASHINGTON, May 9. A note
cabled by Secretary Lansing to Am
bassador Gerard Monday for delivery
to the Berlin foreign office informs
the German government that the Uni
ted States accepts Germany's "declara
tion of its abandonment" of its for
mer submarine policy and now relies
upon a scrupulous execution of the
altered policy to remove the principal
danger of an interruption of the good
relations existing between the two
countries.
With this acceptance is coupled for
mal notice to Germany that the United
States cannot for a moment entertain,
much less discuss, a suggestion that
respect by German naval authorities
for the rights of citizens of the United
States on the high Beas should in the
slightest degree be made contingent
upon the conduct of any other govern
ment affecting the rights of neutrals
and non-combatants. This is in reply
to the concluding statement in the last
German note to the effect that while
submarine commanders had been or
dered to sink no peaceful freight or
passenger-carrying ships without warn
ing or without safety for passengers
and crew, the German government
would reserve to itself complete lib
erty of decision unless the United
States was successful in its efforts to
break tU,;;j3ritish blockade.
Secretary Lansing issued a state
ment last night saying that the great
er part of Germany's answer to the
demands of the United States was de
voted to matters which the American
government could not discuss with the
Berlin government, but he considered
Germany had "yielded to our repre
sentations," and that "we can have no
reason to Quarrel with her" so long as
the altered policy is lived up to.

Members of Capt Purlngton's troop ot

ing was the day's occupation for the

a lecture by Lieut 0. A. Wildrick, of

BERLIN, May 5, by wireless. The
German admiralty gave out the follow
ing account today of the Zeppelin raid
over England on Tuesday night:
"A German naval air squadron on
the night of May 2-3 attacked the mid
dle and northern parts of the east
coast of England. Factories, blast
furnaces and railroads near Middles-
borough and Stockton, industrial es
tablishments near Sunderland, the
fortified port of Hartlepool, the coast
batteries south of the River Tees and
British men-of-war at the entrance to
the Frith of Forth were attacked with
many bombs. The success of these
attacks was witnessed.
IRISH POLITICS
IN FOREGROUND
HOME RULE QUESTION MAY BE
ADJUSTED AS RESULT OF
REBELLION.
LONDON, May 10. Irish politics
are again in the foreground as a re
sult of the recent rising and the con
sequent convergence of sentiment be
tween John Redmond, the nationalist
leader, and Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster leader.
The conference of these leaders Mon
day on the disarmament question and
Tuesday's significant debate in the
house of commons on the possibility
of bringing Ireland within the purview
of the conscription bill have given this
matter still greater importance, and it
looks as thought Ireland's unfortunate
experience might become the indirect
means of adjusting in a manner satis
factory to all parties the difficult home
rule problem, which has been hung up
during the war.

their entertainment in Columbia. From

vates in the ranks, all declared that
never had the convention been shown
so many courtesies or been so cordial

was the most beautiful that they had
ever seen and the people were juts as
'cordial as the country was beautiful.
They said that the people had opened
their homes, their hearts and the busi

I Unquestionably the convention had
a good time. Meeting in Columbia
did it good. It did Columbia good

edge of the Junior Order than they
'have ever had; they appreciate its
splendid virtues. The convention was
made up of a high order of intelligent,
patriotic and public spirited business

The Herald's aplendid reports of the

them. They said that no newspaper
had ever given the convention more
generous treatment. Probably seven
ty-five of the members subscribed for
the paper and an average of about 250

The exercises this morning mad
plain the need for a larger building.
The main auditorium of the school Is
so small that not more than three ot
the seven grades can ever be seated!
at the same time. It was necessary
this morning in order to make room to?
the visitors, to request a majority of
the children to remain at home, thun
depriving them of the privilege and
pleasure of witnessing the class day
exercises, something that should never
be necessary. The visitor Is impressed
with the fact that this elementary
school, one of the best in the state, I
lacking in one essential only but sadly,
sadly lacking in that and that' Is an
adequate building. It is to be bopbi
that the citizens of the Ninth district
will become aroused te the topor
tance of having better and larger facil
ities for the school.
