I SIGHT AMERICAN NOTE TEXT MARES MATTER PLAIN Sets Forth Matters That Are Irrelevant States Which Important PRELIMINARY SEARCH BEFORE DESTRUCTION Will be Insisted Upon as Well as Other Principles of Law. That portion of the American note making rejoinder to the reply of Germany to the first American note sent to that country by the United States in relation to the loss of life by the sinking of the Lusitania, which sets forth the claims of the United States and the matters which are irrelevant, reads as follows: "Whatever may be the contentions of did nilMdvi'll nni-m.in i ? _ iui viui iniiii ^WVITIUUI'MI regarding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or regarding the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in the view of this government these contentions are irrelevant to the question of legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking the vessel. "Cut the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special, circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the case, principles which lift it, as the imperial German government will no doubt be quick to recognize and acknowledge, out of the class of ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion or of international controversy. Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the pertinent fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a conveyance iui paoacnjsers, aiui carrying more than a thousand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sunk without so much as a challenge or a warning, and that men, women, and children were sent to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare. The fact that more than 100 American citizens were among those who perished made it the duty of the government of the United States to speak of these things and once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the attention of the imperial German government to the grave responsibility which the government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in the tragic occurrence, and to the indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. A Great Principle. "The government of the United States is contending for something much greater than mere rights of prosperity or privileges of commerce. It is contending for nothing less high 1 " " ?*mu savrt-u man mc rights ol" humanity, which every government honors itself in respecting and which no government is justified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to step when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit could have afforded the commander of the submarine any justification for so much as putting the lives of those on board the ship in jeopardy. This principle the government of the United States understands the explicit instructions issued on August 1), 1014, by the imperial German admiralty to its commanders at sea to have recognized and embodied, as do the naval codes of all other nations, and upon it every traveler and seaman had a right to depend. It is upon this principle of humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this principle that the united states must stand. "The government of the United States is happy to observe that your excellency's note closes with the intimation that the imperial German government is willing, now as before to accept the good offices of th< United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the govern ment of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of the wai upon the sea may be changed. Th< government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus tc serve its friends and the world.

"With the heartiest good wishes for' your personal welfare and for the success of your administration, I am, my dear Mr. President, "Very truly yours, (Signed) 'W. J. Bryan." j The president's letter to Mr. Bryan ' was as follows: Heal Personal Regret. "My Dear Mr. Bryan: "I accept your resignation only be-j cause you insist upon its acceptance; and I accept it with much more than deep regret, with a feeling of personal; sorrow. Our two years of close asso-: ciation have been very delightful to me. Our judgment have accorded in practically everv matter of official duty and of public policy until now; j your support of the work and pur- j poses of the administration has been , generous and loyal beyond praise;! your devotion to the duties of your, ( great oflice and your eagerness to ( take advantage of every great oppor- ( tunity for service it offered has been ( an example to the rest of us; you ] have earned our affectionate admiration and friendship. Even now we are not separated in the object we seek , but only in the method by which wc j seek it. ) "It is for these reasons my feeling i ( about your retirement from the score- , tarvship of state goes so much deeper! i than regret. 1 sincerely deplore it. j. Our objects are the same and wc j ought to pursue them together. I yield } to your desire only because I must j and wish to bid you godspeed in the ( parting. We shall continue to work , for the same cause even when we do | not work in the same way. With affectionate regard, "Sincerely yours, I "Woodrow Wilson." ( { o at its convenience. The whole world I { is concerned in anything that may j bring about even a partial accommo- ( dation of interests or in anv way mit- ' ? * | j igate the terrors of the present (lis- j \ tressing conflict. 1 < Looks for Justice. "In the meantime, whatever ar- j rangcments may happily be made be- j tween the parties to the war and 1 whatever may in the opinion of the * imperial German government have r been the provocation or the circum- i stantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea. the govern men t of the United States confidently looks to see the justice and humanity of the government of Germany vindicated in all cases where Americans have been wronged 01 their rights as neutrals involved. "The government of the United States, therefore, earnestly and very solemnly renews the representations cf its note transmitted to the imperial German government on the 15th of May and relies on these representations upon the principles of humanity the universally recognized understandings of international law, and the ancient friendship of the German nation. The government of the .United States can not admit that the promulgation of a war zone from which neutral 'ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on mer| chant ships of belligerent nationality. it does not understand the Imperial German government to question those rights. Tt understands it, also, to accept as established beyond question the principle that the lives of noncombatants can not lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresisting merchantman, and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient precau tion to ascertain whether a suspected 1 merchantman is in fact of belligerent ' nationality or is in fact carrying con> traband of war under a neutral (lag. - The government of the United States J therefore deems it reasonable to expect that the imperial German gov* ernment will adopt the measures i ) necessary to put these principles into t practice in respect of the safeguard> ing of American lives and American r ships and asks for assurances that r * his will be done. i 5 (Signed) "Robert Lansing, ; "Secretary of State ad. Interim." THE HORRY HERAL ROOSEVELT PLEDGES WILSON HIS SUPPORT In All Stops to Uphold the Interests of This Great Republic. Former President Theodore Roosevelt, in a signed statement pledges his sunoort to President Wilson in "all the steps which he may take to uphold the honor and the interests of this great Republic. "According to Mr. Bryan's statement, Colonel Roosevelt's" statement says, "He has left the cabinet because Mr. President Wilson, as regards the matters at issue with Germany, refuses to follow the peaceful set in the thirty all-inclusive arbitration commission treaties recently negotiated and declines to suspend action for a year while a neutral commission investigates the admitted murder of American men, women and children on the high seas, and further declines to forbid American citizens to travel on neutral ships in accordance with; :onditions guaranteed to and by Germany herself in solemn treaty. "Of course, I heartily applaud the lecision of the President, and in com-1 noii with all other Americans who arc j oval to the traditions handed down by . .he men who served under Washing-1 Ion. and by the others who followed j firant and Lee in the days of Lincoln. I [ pledge him my heartiest support in all the steps he takes to uphold the1 ion or and the interest of tins great republic, which are bound up with the naintenance of democratic liberty and if a wise spirit of humanity among all ;he nations of mankind." j o I CATARRH CANNOT BE CUREDJ By LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as i they cannot reach ttie seat of the (lis- j ij)PntovnU !o LI ?

The County Commissioners may refuse to indict any person holding a cer tificate of disability, or they may or dor indictment on an indefinite or indeterminate certfcate. In ascertaining the meaning of a cor tficate, it should he looked upon by the County Board as a statement of physieial condition. Only the facts of such condition stated will be considered as evidence. Where the facts showing the physical condition are given and the doctor's opinion express ed that such facts constitute disability, then the opinion should he given full weight as an expert opinion. But if the facts upon which the opinion is based be not stated in the certificate, the bare opinion of the physician may be entirely disregarded. Thus, a physician's certificate should consist of three statements: (1) of personal examination; (2) of of physical facts constituting disability; (3) of the physician's opinion n.. wn iue lac-TS as to whether the (Usability is permanent or temporary. o SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.

Resigning Office * SOME THINK POLITICS OTHERS THINK DIFFERENT One Asserts That it. Wnni/i - V VP V VI4U Seem the Former Secretary f Was Glad of Excuse. Berlin, via London, June 13.?The' Sunday morning newspapers of Berlin' generally profess inability to understand the motives prompting William ^ Jennings Bryan to retire from the ? post of Secretary of State. The Morgan Pos't says: "The former Secretary seems to have loss confidence than we in the honest desire of the American govern- ^ ment to arrive at a peaceful compro- ^ mise with us. Mr. Bryan is convinced that President Wilson and his government will finally appeal to force. We % are not now disposed to believe this, but will await events."* The Boerzen Zeitung says: "Bryan's resignation has been interpreted as indicating that the note would bo rather blunt, which, however, in no wise is the case. The note shows, on the contrary an outsnokon tendency to reach an understanding " *4 with Germany on the issues involved. If, therefore, Bryan desires to he the representative of peaceful efforts in opposition to the jingoistic tendency of the American government we really do not know on what ground he will base his assertion." * The Boerzen Zeitung terms Mr. Bryan's proclamation to the people oven harder to understand than his resignation. The Tageblatt suspects that practical political differences played a part in the resignation of the Secretary, saying: '"It may safely be assumed that Mr. Bryan did not leave office in order to withdraw himself from politi ral life." The Roichcsbote says: "Rither the tone was subdued following Bryan's sensational resignation, or Bryan desired to fake advantage of an opportunity to escape easily from a situation which no longer was pleasant." The Deutsche Rundschau says: "After seeing the note it must be said that Mr. Bryan was hasty, or else other reasons yet unknown decided V his action." Cologne, Germany, June l.'k, via London.?The Koelnfseho Zeitung thinks that Mr. Bryan's withdrawal from the American State Department, whatever it may mean, also shows that the Koelniche Zeftung's verdict conccrnin gtho Cunaru' liner Lusitania finds comprehension among Ameri- % cans and that these are of disposed to I destroy the bridges connecting the two nations. The peace which Bryan J preaches is also possible along the ways followed bv President Wilson, J^j the newspaper says, and then adds: l "For this, however, it indeed is nec-^fc ^ essary that Americans respect also Germany's sacred rights." o To Drive Out Malaria And Build Up The System; Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC.
