If United States Will Furnish Them and Refuse Allies Then All Will Be Well. s' Berlin, via London.-Germany's re - ply to the protest of the United States e against designation of a naval war t zone about the British Isles is couch )f ed in the most friendly terms, but h firmly maintains the Oosition of Ger s many as already announced. y The note, which has been trans e mitted to Washington through the I. American Embassy, explains that Ger- 1 d many's action was made necessary by ti Great Britain's policy of attempting W to cut off the food supply of the Ger man civil population by a method never recognized in international law. England's course in ordering mer k chantmen to fly neutral flags, ecuinp- 1 ping them with artillery and ordering y them to destroy submarines, Germany e contends, renders nugatory the right of sarch and gives Germany the n right to attack English shipping. d The reply closes with the expres s sion of hope that the United States may prevail upon Great Britain "to return to the principles of internation al law recognized prior to the out- 1 break of the war" and in particular I n obtain observance of the Declaration f of London. If this were done, the n note explains, Germany would recog s nize in this, says the reply an invalu s table service toward a more humane conduct of the war and would act in .eIaccordance with the new situatio'n thus created. yI FLEE BEFORE GERMANS. .e Populous Towns In Eastern War Zone h EmptIed of People. n Petrograd, via London.-The Ger o man advance from East Prussia upon s the towns of Kovno and Grodno ap 0 pears designed to cut the railroad d communications to Warsaw, rather e than to an effort to take the Russians .- fortified positions in that territory. i Along the line from Plock to Nie-I men, about 200 miles In.-length,,.thereI has been intermittent fighting.

It is thought that the ing of the child labor age limit will iccomplished in part, as the compul r education law contains a provision t children between the ages of eight 14 years must attend school for the term. ne of the b-g features in the admin ation program was the creation of a :e tax commission to have supervis over state and county taxation sys s. Although the proposal for the mission was considerably modified imendments to the original bill, it is eved by the administration leaders the new state tax commission will e power under the act to put needed >rms into effect. overnor Manning's proposal that the ilizer laws of the state be revised i commission was not accepted by general assembly. ollowing the recommendation of the ernor. the general assembly created state board of charities and correc s, which is to have supervision over State Hospital for the Insane, the e penitentiary, county jails and shouses and private institutions of leemosynary character. 3e compulsory school attendance law ied by the general assembly was inctly an administration measure in form in which it was passed. The conference committee responsible the final draft of the law consulted ernor Manning and Superintendent aringen before making its report. as said that the measure was ac able to both of them. The compul school attendance law is strictly I option. it makes the school dis s the units for enforcement and rides that the law go into effect in n either on petition or election. rge appropriations for the aid of Il schools were made by the general mbly, carrying out the governor's mmendations in this regard. ide from the matters recommended :ifically in the inaugural address, ernor Manning laid most stress dur the session upon remodeling the e Hospital for the Insane and mak changes in the metod of its man nent. The governor had an exami on of the state hospital made by ur P. Herring, M.

A special levy of one-half mill placed in the general appropriation to raise revenue for carrying out recommended remodeling of the t of the hospital. The house com :ee on State Hospital for the Insane ered the measures intended to im re the method of managementof the >ital. part from the measures advocated the administration, the two bills led by the general assembly which have the most far-reaching effect those providing for a referendum on tember 14, 1915, on prohibition and dating the shipment of liquor into counties in the state.
