MUST ADHERE TO POLICY President In Note to Berlin Bays Break Can Be Averted If Subma rines Puriue Attacka Under Latest Instructions. President Wilson will not allow Ger many to dictate to the United States what stand this nation will take In its negotiations with Great Britain. This stand was taken in a note to Germany, covering the submarine la sue and in reply to the note from Berlin, in which Germany agreed to alter her U-boat campaign. The nots tells Germany diplomatic relations will not be broken while the new orders to submarine commanders are respect ed, but reiterates that any negotiations between Germany and the United. States cannot be conditioned on nego tiations' between the United States and Great Britain. The- note despatched to Berlin was very brief. It told of the acceptance of the same, of the conditions embodi ed In the new Berlin regulations lor submarine attacks, but Insists that Germany adhere to the new policy and that only a strict adherence to these rules will prevent a diplomatic break. President Wilson stands by the United States' demand that Germany cease her attacks on vessels In viola tion of international law, regardless of negotiations which may be carried on with Great Britain over the food blockade. (Following Is the text of the not« cabled by Secretary Lansing to Am bassador Gerard at Berlin, with in structions to deliver It to the German minister of foreign affairs: "The note of the Imperial German government under date of May 4, 1916, has received carefuil consideration by the government of the United States. It is especially noted, as indicating the purpose of the imperial goverment as to the future, that It 'ls prepared to do Its utmost to confine the operation of the war for the of its duration to the fighting forces of the belliger ents,' and that It is determined to impose upon all Its commanders at sea the limitations of the recognized rules of International law upon which the government of the United States has Insisted. "Throughout the months which have elapsed since the Imperial government announced on February 4, 1915, Its •übmarlne policy, now happily aban doned, the government of the United States coustantly has been guided and restrained by motives of friendship in its patient efforts to bring to an ami cable settlement the critical questions arising from that policy. Accepting the Imperial government's declaration of Its abandonment of'the policy which so seriously has menaced the good re lations between the two countries, the government of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution hence forth of the now altered policy of the such as will remove the principal danger to an interruption of the good relations existing between the United States and Germany. "The government of the United States feels It necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the im perial German government does not Intend to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is In any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and any other belligerent gov ernment, notwithstanding the fact that cqftaln passages In the imperial government's note of the fourth in stant might appear to be susceptible of that constructiop. in order, however, to avoid any. possible misunderstand ing the government of the United States notifies the Imperial govern ment that It cannot for a moment en tertain, much less discuss, a sugges tion that respect by German naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the United Stales upon the high seas should lu any way or In the slight est degree be made contingent upon the conduct of any other government affecting the rights of neutrals and non-combatant*. Responsibility In such matters is single, not joint' ab solute, not relative." Milk Strangles Baby. Moses, four-months-old son or James, of Nantlcoke, near Wilkes Barre, Pa., strangled to death while taking milk from a nursing bottle. The child went to sleep nursing. When the mother went to the crib, a few hours later, the baby was dead. Doc tors said strangulation bad caused death. Sullivan Released. James M. Sullivan, former Unit ed States minister to Santo Do mingo, who was arrested follow ing the recent uprising in Ireland, notified the American embassy from Dublin that he had been released. 1 Australian Troops In Francs. Australian and New Zealand troopt have arrived in Francs and have takes 'over a portion of the front, it was a» aounced in an official statement Beat Thing for a Hllilons Attack. "On account of my confinement in the printing office I have for years been a chronic suffere from indigestion and liver trouble. A few weeks ago I had an attack that was so severe that I was not able to go to the case for two days. Failing to get any relief from any other treatment I took three Chamberlain's Tablets and the next day I felt like a new man,"says H. C. Bailey, editor Carolina News, Chapin, 8. C.

FOUR MOREJXECUTFD Pay Penalty for Irish Revolt —Other Sentences Commuted. Four more of the leaders in the Irish revolt have been sentenced to death by the Dublin court-martial and executed, according to an o flic la: state ment. They were Cornelius Colbert, Ed mund Kent, Michael Mallon and J. J. Houston. Nineteen others concerned In the insurrection were sentenced to death, but the sentence wan commuted to various terms of penal servitude. On three others prison terms were Im posed. Two were acquitted. Another despatch from the Irish capital said John (lord n Swift Mac- Neili, president of the Sinn Fein vo lunteers, who disappeared on tiie day the disturbances began, has been ar rested. MacNelll held a high position in the accountant's general's office, but resigned to take a professorship in the national university. The Irish question again was rais ed in the house of commons by Lau rence Oinnell, Nationalists. In res ponse to a question from Mr. Glnnell, Premier Asqulth said he could not give an understanding that no more men would be put to death, before op portunity was given for a discussion of the matter in the house of com mons. On receiving this reply, Mr. Oinnell shouted: "Murder! Murder!" FAIL TO AGREE Statu* of American Troops In Mexieo Unsettled. The conference at Elpaao, Texas, between Generals Hugh h. Bcott and Frederick Funston and General Alvaro Obregon, Mexican minister of war, and Juan Amador, sub-secretary for foreign affairs, ended without an agreement having been reached re garding the status of the American troops in Mexico. A despatch from Marathon, Texas, ■aid: "Private Roscoe Tyree and O. G. Compton, believed to have been cap tured or killed by Mexicans In the last border raid, arrived In company with Sergeant Smyth. They wero brought here on a motor car from Glenu Springs." The band of Mexican outlaws that raided Glenn Springs and Uoquiilas, Texas, last Friday, killing American citizens, were believed to be headed into the interior of Coahulla, Mexico. Colonel Sibley, U. 8. A., with a force of American soldiers, and reinforced by posses and rangers, Is marcMng on the outlaws' trail, and some of his men may have crossed the Klo Grande after them. Generals Scott and Ob regon went into conference here again, and probably discussed the last border raid and Its consequences. Asked If he Intended sending troops into the Big Bend district In add tlon to those already on their way, General Funston said: "I haven't any to send.'' $509,000 For Yale.

EACH SIDE CLAIMS 6AIN Terrific Battle on Both Sides of the Meusa Equals In Violanca the First German Drlva. After seventy-seven days of battHs the Germans are making a new attack before Verdun with another formid able army. Fighting almost equal in violence to that of the beginning of March Is In progress on both banks of the Meuse. Germans who expected the blrthd'y anniversary (Saturday) of the Crown Prince Frederick William to see the announcement of an Important victory at Verdun were disappointed although It marked the renewal of the offensive against the French. The principal effort of the Germans west of the Meuse Is being directed against La Mort Homme, or Dead Man's Hill. Following the Napoleon ic policy of attempting to turn what cannot be carried by frontal attack, the Germans, with a whole army corps (40,000 men), made the assault by way of the ravine between Hill 304 and Dead Man's Hill, seeking to crush In the French line along a front ol one and one-half miles. The ground there Is favorable for at tack, and the French commander, aware of the weakness of the position, placed one of his best trained army corps at that place. This corps dls posed of the Initial attack without ced lng any important ground, ( but the battle Is still raging. East of the Meuse the Hermans de livered four attacks on a front of two thousand yards, eath advance being made by a different Prussian regiment (3000 men). "The fighting there is as fierce as on the other side of the river anil as Inconclusive. The fighting Sunday night was ol great violence. Furious German at tacks near Hill 304 wtire broken by the French, the French war office an nounced. The losses of the Germans are described as extremely heavy.

The plan pursued, so far as there lias been any plan, has been ot the higgledy-piggledy, here a little, there a little order, and with generally disappointing results. The national government docs not exercise any ad ministrative control over public roads except those built on government res ervations, and until recently the states took no direct part In the construction of improved roads, which for nearly half it century were controlled sM| financed by the county or by snbdlvW slons of the county, so that the puhUa road which should be operated for tbsi benefit of all the people was In fact nothing more or better than "a purely) local utility." Down to tho present time about 80,- 000 inllcH of Improved highway* bar* been coiiHtni'-tcd onder the lmmadiata direction of the several state highway; departments. In 1014 the states ex pended In round numbers for road purposes, and In 101S the ap propriations available for this work amounted to about $35,000,000. la ad dition, the local expenditures aggregat el about $200.1100,000 In 1014. In 1904 the total amount by tli« states, counties and townships for n«4 purposes In the United States amount ed to about $80.(100,000. In the course of ten year* the expenditures on this account nearly trebled. That there Is not more to iihow for It la doe to the Inck of Intelligent and responsible sys tem In the planning and building of the roads. In the states that bar* adopted the policy of centralized stata management the largest percentage of Improved highways is to be found. Massachusetts heads the list with 51.7 per rent of Improved highways, Ohio follows w llli It't.S per cent. New Jersey, lakes third plui e with 30.3 per cenr. Now York U fourth In order with 27.0 per cent, and Connecticut is fifth with 20.2 per cent Improved roads. All these stnte* have hud state highway depart ments for more Ilian ten years. | Road Roller Made of s Boiler. ' .
