MOUE CONCILIATORY IN TONK Latest Gorman Note Gives Promise of Mon? Friendly Relations. Washington, Sept. 23.-Germany. In its latest note in the Five casi-, made public to-day, notifies the Uni ted States that orders have been is sued "to the Cern?an naval forces not to destroy American merchantmen which have loaded conditional con traband, even when tho conditions of international law are present, but to permit them to continue their voy age' unhindered if it is not possible to take them i n't o port." Germany gave this assurance "lu order to furnish to the American gov ernment evidence of its conciliatory attitude" willie the question Of inloi preting the treaty of 1828 ls submit-1 ted to arbitration. U. S. Suggestion Accepted. Tho American suggestion for the naming of experts to lix tho indem nity for sinking the Prye is accepted. | As for absolute contraband, such a.s arms and ammunition, Germany states in its note that "il must re serve to itself the right to destroy vessels carrying absolute contraband wherever such destruction is permis sible according to the provisions of the- declaration of London." The German note is regarded by officials as evidencing a more friendly spirit on the part of the Cern?an for eign office. After months of strained relations between tho two countlres, it was received as a very favorable development. li practically insures American vessels against attack without warn ing, and even in the event that they are carrying absolute contraband, passengers and crew are bound, ac cording to the declaration of London, to be removed before there is any destruction, which also can occur only in the event ol' extreme neces sity. Text of Note. The note follows: "With regard first to the ascertain ment of Hie damage by experts, the German government believes that lt should dispense with the nomination of an umpire. In the cases of the ascertainment of damages hitherto arranged between the German gov ernment and a neutral government from similar causes, the experts named by the two parties have always reached an agreement as to the amount of the damage without diffi culty; should il not be possible, how ever, to reach an agreement on some point it could probably be settled by diplomatic negotiations. Assuming that the American government agrees to ibis, the dorman government names as its expert Dr. Kepny, of I Ire men, director of the North Ger man Lloyds. lt begs to await the designation of the American expert. "The German government declares thal it agrees to the proposal of the American government to separate the question ol' indemnify from the ques tion of the Interpretation of the Prussian-American treaties of 17S">, 1 70il and 1828. "lt therefore again expressly stales that In making payment it does not acknowledge the violation of the treaty as contended by the American side, bul it will admit that the set tlement of the question of indemnity does not prejudice tho arrangement of the differences of opinion concern ing the interpretation of the treaty rights, and that flus dispute is left to be decided by The Hague tribunal of a rbi t rat iou To Present? Compromise. j "The negotiations relative to the signing of tho compromise provided by Article 52 of The llague arbitra- i lion convention would best be con ducted between the foreign office and ?he American embassy at Berlin in view of the difficulties In the way of instructing tho imperial ambassador at Washington. Ill case the Ameri can government agrees, the foreign office is prepared lo submit lo the embassy a draft of such a compro mise. "The American government's in quiry whether the German govern ment will govern its naval operations in accordance with the Cern?an or the American interpretation of the treaty stipulations In question, ponding the arbitral proceedings, has been care fully considered by the Cern?an gov ernment. Prom the standpoint of law and equity, it is not prevented, in Its opinion. from proceeding against American ships carrying con traband, according to its Interpreta tion, until the question is settled by a rbitratlon. "For the Cern?an government does not need to depart from the applica tion of generally recognized rules of the law of maritime war. as the dec laration of London, unless and in so far as an exception based on a treaty is established beyond all doubt, in the case of the present differences of opinion between the German and the American governments such an ex ception could not be taken to bo es tablished excopt on the ground of the arbitral award. Nforeover, the dis advantages to Germany which would AXOTIIKK lKHNDAUY DISPUTE. Stat?' of Georgia am! Power Company Cannot Agree. ( Anderson Mail. ) ll all depends upon a future court decision whether the State of Geor gia shall collect taxes from the Gregg Shoals Power Company, a subsidiary company of the Georgia Railway and Rower Company, located on Savannah river, in Elbert county, on a valua tion of $38,965, or on a valuation of $10,461. This situation grows out of a dis pute between the State of Georgia and the power company as to the lo cation of t!ie boundary line between the States of Georgia and South Car olina. The Gregg Shoals Rowe'- Company made no returns for taxation, and Comptroller General W. A. Wright notified them that he had assessed their property in Georgia at $00,000. The company rejected thia assessment and asked that the question of valua i lion be arbitrated. I Gen. Wright appointed Judge Geo. j Hillyer, of the tSate Railroad Com mission, to represent the State, and 'the power company named Attorney I L. M. .Ionian, of Atlanta. After seve ral conferences the arbitrators reach ed an agreement. They agreed that If the boundary line between the states was where the Slate of Georgia contended, then i the taxable property of the power company (in Georgia) should be val ued at >::S.!M;:.. On the oilier hand, ; they agreed that if the boundary line should be where the power company contends it is. then the valuation should be but $10,461. The boundary linc' question will no doubt have to be settled In the courts. The State will demand a payment of taxes based on its con tention, and If the power company fails to pay on that basis it will issue executions against the power com pany's property, in which neut il is expected the power company will seek an injuncition against the State. This will take the issue in the courts, and the Supreme Court of Georgia, perhaps the Supreme Court of the I'nited States, will he called cpon to pass on the boundary question before the matter is Anally settled and the Stale can collect any taxes. Comptroller General Wright, in fix ing his original assessment, held that part of the power company's dam and 138 acres of its property were located in Georgia. Judge Hillyer has pre pared a comprehensive brief on the State's contention as to the location of the boundary line, which will be used in the court fight. Alt ?lough the Gregg Shoals Power Company is owned hy the Georgia Railway and Power Company, of At lanta, it is leased to a South Carolina concern, and its transmission lines run from the plant In Elbert county across the Savannah river to Ander son.

For, whereas, the American interpretation would mate rially impede Germany In her con duct of warfare, hardly any particu lar disadvantages to American citi zens would result from the German interpretation, since they receive full reparation for any property damage sustained. "Nevertheless, the German govern ment, In order to furnish to the American government evidence of its conciliatory altitude, has issued or ders to the German naval forces not to destroy American merchantmen which have loaded conditional con traband even when the conditions of International law arc present, but to permit them to continue their voyage unhindered If it is not possible to take them into port. On the other hand, it must reserve to Itself the ? right to destroy vessels carrying ab solute contraband wherever such de istructlon ls permissible according to the provisions of the declaration of I London." .j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?J? ?J? ?j? *j? ?j?

Jef ferson, Davis, Ree ann Jackson? That papal banner floating upon our ves sels means that a Roman Catholic priest is conducting the mass: it means that a papal chaplain pre sides on every ship where the pope's banner hangs. The (lag we call "Old Glory"- -the banner of the free, be fore whose brightening, stainless folds all men should bend the knee shall not bo subordinate, even for oae hour, to any sort or kind of rag de noting foreign power. You who are responsible for this outrage, what were your reasons for issuing the permit? Were you afraid to deny the papal request for floating of the papal flag ABOVE thal of YOUR COUNTRY ? Were you fear ful of the papal wrath upon election day? Were you apprehensive of de feat in your political ambition if you stood by "Old Glory"? Did you hide your face in shame the first time that Roman rag flew above "Our Flag"? Did your manhood revolt against your judgment when you realized the deg radation of your authority? There are too ninny papal chaplains in thc United States navy; there are toe many of them in the anny. They ex alt Romanism and popery first, lasi a id all the time.
