abandonment” of its fofmer subma
rine policy and now relies upon a
scrupulous execution of the
policy to remove the principal danger,
of an interruption of the good rela
tions existing between the two coun
tries.
With this acceptance is coupled for
mal notice to Germany that the
United States can not for a moment
entertain, much less discuss, a sug
gestion that respect by German naval
authorities for the rights of citizens of
the United States on the high seas
should in the slightest degree be made
contingent upon the conduct of any
other government affecting the rights
of neutrals and noncombatants. This
is in reply to the concluding statement
in the last German note to the ef
fect that while submarine command
ers had been ordered to sink no peace
ful freight or passenger carrying ships
without warning or without safety
for passengers and crew, the German
government would reserve to itself
complete liberty of decision unless the
United SUtes was successful in its
efforts to break the British blocade.
Question of Performance.
Secretary Lansing issued a state
ment tonight saying that the greater
part of Germany’s answer to the de-
mand.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.

Resolved that:
in commemorating the death of our
late associate, Mrs. H. W. Rriggs, who
died on the 29th of January 1916, the
Blackville Cemetery Association de
sires to record iu feelings of sorrow
■t the termination of a Ijfe which has
been useful to this community and a
Source of uniform pleasure and admi
ration to this Association.
One of the founders of this society,
and continuously its most eftcient
presiding officer, the deceased brought
to this Association a Sound and inde-
pendent judgment on all matter* af
fecting alike the welfare of this so
ciety and the heat interests of this
community.
To these inestimable qualities she
added the grace* of a noble Christian
character, a winning simplicity of de
portment, and a genial disposition, all
of which endeared her to those who
hail the good fortune of asociating
with her.
The society requests iu secreUry
to communicate these sentiment* to
the family of the deceased and to as-
sure,thcm of its sympathy in their sad
bereavment. *
