INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS MUST

PEOPLE FACE STARVATION
Military Faotlena Keep Up Fighting
and Pillaging and Are Aceompllah
>. Ing Nothing.
Washington.—President Wilson has'
decided to serre notice on the warring
factions in Mexico that conditions in
that country have become intolerable
and that unless they themselves com
pose the situation soon some other
means may liave to bo employed to ao
| complish the result.
The first intimation of the President
taking this step came in an appeal is
sued from the head of the' American
j Red Cross setting forth that "several
years of internal disturbances in many
parts of Mexico have reduced the peo
ple to starvation" and urging contri
butions to relief funds.
Officials at the White House and
State Department declined to say what
the President's forthcoming statement
contained but denied that recognition
of any faction was contemplated.
The Presidents action, It was said,
was to demand, in effect, that the Mex
icans arrive at an early settlement of
their troubles or at least provide for
the sustenance of the starclng popula
tion.
High officials referred to the Presi
dent's forthcoming pronouncement as
not meaning "immediate intervention."
The impression In executive quarteri
would be to place responsibility for
the present state of affairs squarely on
the military elements in the Republic,
which have over-run the country and
appropriated Its food supply or pre
vented the tilling of the soil.
While anxious tp continue the policy
of allowing the Mexicans to settle
their difficulties without interference
the President is said to be determined
that the civilian population of the
country shall not be starved in tba
meantime.
NO REPORT ON NEBRA6KAN.
Germany Knows Nothing e? the Ship.
—Sank the Gulflight.
Berlin, via London. —The Foreign
Office and the Admiralty are still with
out news concerning the reported tor
pedoing of the American steamship
Nebraskan, and depreciate all discus
sion of possible effect on German-
American negotiations pending an
authoritative confirmation of an at
tack on the ship. German newspapers
have printed nothing abouj, the Ne
braskan incident since the first Rot
terdam dispatch that the
ship had been torpedoed and that she
was still afloat with the crew safe in
her life boats.
The torpedoing of the steamship
Gulflight is now established as due to
a German submarine the report of the
commander of the submarine in ques
tion having been received by the Ad
miralty. The commander stated that
when he first saw the Gulfllight she
was being convoyed by two patrol j
boats and he concluded that she must
be a British vessel or waa carrying
contraband. The presence of the pat
rol boats, the commander reported,
made closer investigation dangerous.
Belzlng Food Buppllee.
Douglas, Aril.—To relive the situa
tion at Hermonsllla and Guaymas,
Villa forces are raiding the Cumpua
district, seizing all available supplies
of wheat, according to information re
ceived here. The district, it is said,
will be left without food and the pop
ulation, consisting of women, children
and old men unable to bear arms, will
be reduced to absolute starvation.

Reasons For Sinking Luslatanla and
Other Ships.—Tons of Reply Is
Friendly Throughout.
Berlin.—Germany withholds Its final
decision on the demands advanced by
the United States Government in con
nection with the sinking of the Lusl
tanla, until the receipt of an answer
from the United States, to the note
which Herr.von Jagow, the Foreign
Minister, has delivered to Ambassador
Gerard in reply to the American note
received by the German Government
on May 15.
In its reply the German Government
declares that It is not its intention to
submit neutral ships In the war zone,
which are guilty of no hostile acts, to
attacks by submarine or aeroplanes,
that it is Investigating the circum
stances in connection with' the attacks
on the American steamers Cushing
and Gulflight and that in' all cases
where neutral vessels, through no
fault of their own have been dam
aged, Germany will pay Indemnifica
tion.
The reply urges that In the case of
the Lusltanla, which Germany alleges,
was armed and carried large stores of
war munitions "it acted In justified
self-defense In seeking with all the
means of warfare at Its disposition to
protect the lives of Its soldiers by de
stroying ammunition intended for the
enemy.''
The German Government recalls the
proposals submitted by the United
State Government to Berlin' and Lon
don, designed to end the submarine
warfare and the shutting out of food
supplies from Germany which, It de
clares, failed of their purpose because
of the refusal of the British Govern
ment to agree to them,
v Text of Note.
The following Is the text of the Ger
man note:
"The undersigned has the honor to
submit to Ambassador Gerard, the
following answer to the communica
tion of May 15, regarding the Injury
to American interests through Ger
man submarine warfare.
"The Imperial Government has sub
jected the communication of the Am
erican Government to a thorough In
vestigation. It entertains also a keen
wish to cooperate In a frank and
frisndly way in clssrlng up a possible
misunderstanding which may have
arissn In ths relations between the
two Governments through the events
mentioned by the American Govern- .
menL
"Regarding, firstly, the case of the I
American steamers Cushing snd Gulf
light. Ths American Embassy has '
already been Informed that the Oer- :
man Government has no Intention of
submitting neutral ships in the war
■one, which are guilty of no hostile
acts, to attack by a submarine or
submarinss or aviators. On tbs con
trary, ths German forces have repeat
edly been instructed most apecifically
to avoid attacks on such ships.
Isolated Cases.
"If neutral ships In recent months
have suffsred .through the (ferman
submarine warfare, owing to mistakes
in Identification, It is a question only
of quits Isolated and exceptional cases,
which can be attributed to the British
Government's abuse of flags, together
with the suspicious or -culpebls be
havior of the masters of the ships.
"Ths German Government In all
eases in which It has been shown by
Its invsetifationa that a neutral ship,
not Itssif at fault, was dsmaged by
German submarines or aviators, baa
expreaaed regret over the unfortunate
accident and. if Justified by conditions,
has offered indemnification.
Cushing and Gulfllight.
"The caaee of the Cushing and Gulf
light will be treated on the same prin
ciples. An investigation of both caaee
is in progress, the result of which will
presently be communicated to the
Embassy. Ths investigation caa, if
necessary, be supplemented by an In
ternational call on the International
commission of inquiry as provided by ]
Article HI of The Hague sgrement of ,
October It, 1007.
Sinking of Falaba.
"When sinking toe Britsh steamer
Falaba the commander of. the German
submarine had the Intention of allow
ing the paasengers and crew a full
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY,' JUNE 3 1915
opportunity (iTescape. Only when Che
master did not obey the order to
heavfe-to, but fled and summoned help
by rocket signals, did the German
commander order the crew and pas- j
aengers by signals and megaphone to
leave the ship within 10 minutes. He
actually allowed them 23 minutes time
and fired the torpedo only when sus
picious craft were hastendlng to the >
assistance of the Falaba.
Lusltanla Disaster.
"Regarding the loss of life by the
sinking of the British passenger
: steamer Lusltanla, the Cerman Gov
ernment has atready expressed to the
neutral Governments concerned its
keen regret that citizens of their
j states lest their lives.
I "On this occasion the Imperial Gov
ernment, howeyer, cannot escape the
. Impression that certain Important
facts having a direct bearing on the
' sinking of the Lusltanla may have
escaped Uie attention of the American
Government.
An Auxiliary Crulaer.
"In the Intereat of a clear and com
plete understanding Vblcn la the aim
of both Governmenta, the Imperial
Government considers It first, neces
sary to convince Itself that the In
formation accessible to both Govern
ments about the facts of the case Is
| complete and in accord. The Govern
! ment of the United States proceeds on
the assumption that the Luslatanla
| could be regarded as an ordinary un
| armed merchantman. The Imperial
! Government allows Itself In thla con-
I nectlon to point out that the Lusl
-1 tanla was one of the largest and fast
est British merchant ships, built with
Government funds as an auxiliary
cruiser and carried expressly as such
In the 'Navy Jist' Issued by the British
Admiralty.
| "It Is further known to the Im
perial Government, from trustworthy
reports from Its agents and neutral
| passengers, that for a considerable
time practically all the more valuable
- British merchantmen have been
! equipped with cannon and ammuni
tion and other weapons and manned
with persons who have been specially.
| trained In serving guns. The Ltisl
; tanla, 100, according to information
j received here had cannon aboard
which were mounted and concealeo
below decks.
Prizee for Ramming
"The Imperial Government further
has the honor to direct the particular
attention of the American Government
to the fact that the British admiralty
In a confidential Instruction, Issued In
February, 1915, recommended its mer
cantlle shipping not only to seek pro
tection under neutral flags and distin
guishing marks, but also, while thus
disguised to sttack Oerman subma
rines by ramming. As a special Incl
tatlon to merchantmen to deatroy sub
marines the British government alao
offered high prizes and has slresdy
paid such rewards.
"The Imperial government in vlow
of these facts. Indubitably known to
It. Is unable to regard British mer
chantmen In the tone of naval oper
ations specified by the admlraMy staff
of the German navy as "undefended.'
German commanders consequently are
no longer able to observe the custem
| ary regulations of the prize law, whlct.
! they before always followed.
Carrier Wsr Material,
j "Finally the Imperial government
, mutt point out particularly that the
1 Lusltanla on Its Isst trip, aa on earlier
occasions, carried Canadian troops sad
war materiel, Including no less tbsn
(.400 cases of smmunltlon intended
for the destruction of the brave Oer
man soldiers who srs fulfilling their
duty with self-sacrifice aad devotion
in the fatherland's service.
"The Gormen government heilevee
It was acting in Justified eeif-defence
in sseklng with ell the meaae of war
' fare at Ita disposition to protect the
lives of Its soldiers by deetroylag am
munition Intended tor the enemy.
"The British shipping company
must have been aware of the deager
to which the passengers aboard the
Laeitania were axpoeed under tbeee
conditions. The company in sm bark
ing them, notwithstanding this at
tempted'deliberately to ase ths Nvee
of American citizens as protection for
the ammunition aboard aad actad
against the deer provisions of the
American law which sapreeely pro
hibits the forwsrdiag of passengers on
ehlpe carrying ammaaltion aad pro
vtdee a penalty therefor. The ooee
pany, therefore, to wantonly guilty of
the death of so many passengers.
There can be no doubt, according
to the definite report of the subms
rine's commander, which is further
confirmed by all other Information,
that the quick slaking of the Lnsltanla
I Is primarily attributable to the expio
. slon of the smmsnltion shipment
j caused by a torpedo. The Lusltanla
paasengers would otherwise; la all ha
! man prcrtiabillly. have been saved.
"The Imperial government consid
ers the above-mentlonel facts' Impor
tant enough to recommend them to j
the attentive examination of the
American government
Wlthholde Finsl Decision.
"The Imperial government, while
withholding Its flnsl decision on ths
; demands advanced In connection with
the sinking of the Lualtanla until re
ceipt of an answer from the American
government feels Impelled In conclu
sion, to recall here and now, that It
| took cognizance with aatlsfactlon of
i the mediatory propoeals submitted by
the United States government to Ber
lin and London as a baals for a modus
Vivendi for conducting the maritime
warfare between Germany and Or eat
Britain. The Imperial government, by
Its readiness to enter upon a discus
sion of these proposals, then demon
atrated Its (food Intentions In ample
fashion. The realization of theae pro
poeals was defeated; aa Is wsll known,
by the declinatory attitude of the Brit
ish government.

By W. D. Lewie.
Preeldent Texas Farmers' Union.
Why Is woman dissatisfied T Why
does she grow restless under the
crown of womanhood? Why Is she
weary of the Qod-glven Jewel of moth
erhood? 1s It not s sufficient political
I achievement for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh Jn
her anna and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the world's
greatest genulses, chant meiodlee to
master minds and rock the cradle of
human destiny?
Ood pity our country when the hand
shake of the politician Is more grati
fying to woman's heart than the pat
ter of chlldren'a feet.
Woman la Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the aklrts
that civilization has clung to alncs
the beginning of time? Why Iky ssids
this hallowed garment (hat has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In Its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden He faee
In shsme; clinging to Its motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from IV
youth learned to reverence and re
spect womanhood. Can man think of
bis mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this Inordinate thirst for pow
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
■ without hor lilegelnj and unless the
i sheds tesr» of regr»t over Ills depar
; ture, he has lived in vain. Why tbia
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
; worships her? Man has given woman
bis heart, his name and hia money.
What more does she want?
.jCan man find It In his heart to look
with pride upon tho statement that bis
honorable mother-in-law waa one of
the most powerful political bosses In
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother waa one of the ablest
filibusters In the Senate or that his
' mother wss a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither
are we drifting and where will wc

QERIAAN SUBMARINE SINKS THE
MAJESTIC.—OFFICERS AND
CREW SAVED.
MORE AND MORE HAZARDOUS
Submarine Activity la en Increase and
Menace la Growing for Sea-
Borne Trade.
London.—The "British battleship
Majestic, another of the ships support
ing the Allied army on the Gallipoll
Peninsula, was sunk by a German
submarine. Nearly all the offlcers
and crew were saved.
At about the same time the steam
er Princess Irene, built last year for
the Canadian Pacific-British Columbia
Coast survey and wtilch was taken
over by the Admiralty at the com
mencement of the war, waa deatroyed
by an accidental explosion while at
anchor at Shesrness, whore she was
undergoing repairs. >ll her crew,
numbering about 150 except one sea
man, and 78 dockyard workers, aboard
at the time, lost their llvas.
The Majestic, which was the oldest
battleship In the British waa
the sixth battleship lost by the Alllea
since the beginning pf tbe Dardanelles
operations, and the second which has
fallen a victim to German submarines
which recently arrived In those wa
ters. Tbe submarine menace is a
growing one. both in the Aegean Sea
and home waters and these vessels
promise to take an active part In
the operations In the narrow waters
of the Adriatic, which, as In the
Aegan Islands, afford good shelter.
While the warships are able to es
cape submarines In ths waters around
the British Isles, tbe increase 'in their
numbers makes the carrying on of
sea-borne - trade more and more
hazardous.
The Admiralty still believes that the
American steamer Nebraskan. now on
her way to Liverpool waa torpedoed.
The British steamer Morwenna bound
for Canada and the Danish steamer
Betty have been sunk by submarines.
Only a few days ago the commander
of a submarine informed a Danish
captain that he had no orders to sink
Danish vessels.

GERMUrS REPLY
IS QNSATISFAGTORV
NOTE FROM GERMANY 18 PRO
FOUND DISAPPOINTMENT TO
WASHINGTON.
WILL ANSWER PROMPTLY
o
Want No Prolonged Discussion* But
Damsnds Assurances That Our
Rights Will Be Respected.
Washington— Germany's reply to
the American note concerning the
■lnking of the Lasitania with a loss
of more than 100 American Uvea pro
duced a feeling of profound dlsappr ' -
ment here. Dissatisfaction at the f?'!-
ure of Germany to answer the de
mands of the United States was re
flected In government ■ circles gener
ally.
It was generally predicted that a
prompt answer would be sent to Ber
lin at once. This Is expected to p' e
the American government's " unc -
standing of the. facts. that the Lu
tania was unarmed and carried no con
cealed guns, that she sailed from the
United Stales a peaceful merchant
man and that under rules of int">
national law and humanity, the ves
sel should have been visited and
searched and her passengers transfer
red to a. place of safety, whether
carried ammunition or not. America -
law does not prohibit ammunition
from being carried on passenger
ships. It will be asserted, but only self
exploding material and lines in the
past have been permitted to carry
arms and ammunition by special ruling
of the state department on the mean
ing of Federal Mantes.
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by the
American note, and evasion of the re
quest that guarantees be given to
American vessels and lives be not
dangered in the future are the main
points, however, which the United
States government, it was generally
believed, would advert to in the sec
ond note. The expressions of regret
and offers of reparation for uninten
tional attacks on neutral ships are ex
pected to have Itttle weight in deter
mining the nature of the response of
tbe United States.
When the note of Msy 13 was sent
it was pointed out that such promises
did not remove the risks to which
American vessels and lives were sub
jected—and to support this
tloo. ths United States will add. It fe
said, that the American steamer Ne
braskan was torpedoed without want
ing within the last few days.
" Wfirre It ts generally- thoeilil Bin
United States will answer Germany*-•
request for facts with a re-statemc r -
of the circumstances as recited in t>
American note of May 13, the prompt
ness with which the reply will be des
patched Is counted upon to serve
an Indication that the American gc--
eminent wishes an eariy answer ar \
does not desire to engags In a pro
tracted diplomatic dUcu^vton.
PerM>n» close to President Wilson
hsTe learned that he is determined '3
obtain reparation for the Laaltan -
victims and assurances of respect ;
American rights In future, and th •
telling thla, he would not hesitate ■
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
DEAL FIRMLY WITH MEXICO.
(■resident Wilson In Statement Says
Fighting 'Must Stop.
Washington.—There were plain :r.-
dlcatlons that from now on the Adn:: -
Istratlon will vigorously seek to era
the chaos in Mexico. Until PresMe-
Wllson makes public a statement fie
has prepsred, details ef his plans will
not be known, but It is understood tust
tne Mexican leaders will be InformeU
that the time haa come for them t
stop fighting between themselves ar 1
agree on a government which the
United States can rcgonixe.
It ls expected that -the statement
will recite famine conditions in tho '
Southern Republic as Du val West
and other Government agents* have
portrayed''them.
The President will point out how pa.
tiently the American Government had
waited for the 'Mexican factions to ad-
Just the problem themselves and how
hslpless tbe Mexican people generally
have become In the hands of the ml!!-,
tary elements.
The statement which ls to be sent
to all tbe factional leaders will not
announce the course tbe United States
expects to follow In case an agree
ment does not result, but will point
out that conditions have become Intol
erable and must be remedied by out
side Influences If there are no such
elements In the country.
The advisability of placing an em
bargo on the exportation or arms and
ammunition to Mexico has been urged
as one means of putting a stop to
lighting there.
