I was branded as being against rohibition. As I said then I repeat ow. I always cast my ballot fcr rohibition. Why? Because I, as a ood, honest, law-abiding citizen, beeve in doing all in my power to put lit the evil of the accursed thing and e can only do this by our vote and ifluence. If I vote for liquor in any liape I become a partner to the nsiness. For example, suppose a lucus of five men meet to discus? leir business and a proposition to dd the legalized sale of liquoi tiould come up for discussion; three f these men might vote for the roposition and the other two against The legalized sale of liquoi ould be added and the two men oposing it would either have to submil a being drawn in as partners or get ut. This would be unfair to the pposing parties and would be yrannical on the part of the ma ority. Each county in the state is t reat corporate body.

In the correspondence the senator said the only thing he did was to request Secretary Daniels to make another investigation of charges against the midshipmen who had been recom mended for dismissal by an investigating board appointed by Superintendent Fullam.

Count Bernstorff, ?he German am- SI bassador, has asked Secretary Lansing if he wishes to see him and the secretary is understood to have re- hi plied that he does, after he has care- ' le fully examined the situation. The am- ambassador is seeking Information on dt the attitude of the American government toward the German reply. After ai .Mr. Lansing has consulted President re Wilson, it is not unlikely that Bome -?c intimation will be given to the Ger- m man ambassador of the seriousness h? with which the United States eovern- Ji ment regards the crisis. ill Secretary Lansing has begun work to on a draft of a reply to Germany, but has not given any one the slightest inkling of his views. Such intimations, however, as have been received from the White House as well as the state department, point to the framing of a policy which will express even more emphatically than before the views of the United States; and the belief is growing that the next note may include some idea of the intentions of the American government if its demands are not met. The general comment in executive quarters today was that the next American note would define even nore clearly, so that Germany's subsequent attitude would definitely de- I termine whether diplomatic relations \ were to be continued. At the White House it was said to- ; day there had been 110 word of any change In the President's plans and < it was regarded as certain he would not return for several days. < \K\V LI Kit \ H V HOOKS. Chamber of C^nimercp New Homo i for Library. The Lancaster Library Association, at a recent meeting, considered the advisability of moving from the present location in the rooms belonging to Miss Olivia Emmons, to one of the rooms in the Springs block rented by the Chamber of Commerce. That body, through its secretary, Mr. Ellison, who is always ready to lend a helping hand in any good work, offered one room in its suite to be used for libraiy purposes. This generous offer has been accepted and the Camp Fire girls and the Boy Scouts will assist a com- *1 mittee of ladies in moving the books. Therefore, next Saturday afternoon J and each succeeding Tuesday and Saturday, the library tn its new home will be open from 5 to 7 p. m as usual.
