THE ALAMANCE GLEANER,
NO CONDITIONS
TO U-BOAT WAR
Wilson Says Germany Cannot
Dictate to (J. S.
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

After seventy-seven days of battHs
the Germans are making a new attack
before Verdun with another formid

at Verdun were disappointed although
It marked the renewal of the offensive

The principal effort of the Germans
west of the Meuse Is being directed
against La Mort Homme, or Dead

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.
Thee French attacked east of Hill
304 and. drove the Germans from a
communication trench which they p in
etrated.
East of the Merse there was a series
of nlnht engagements.. The Germans
were driven from a trench south of
Haudromont thoy occupied, and thirty
men. Including two officers, were cap
tured.
The offensive movement covered a
front of two kilometre* (nil e and. a
quarter), between Haudrcmont wood
and Fort Douaumont, coxtlng Hie Ger

Camp Burned.
The American patrol at Gien Springs,
Tex., consisting of nine soldiers, was
almost wiped out In a raid by Mexican
bandits, supposedly VMsl tas, across
the border Friday night,, according to
an offlclal report received by General
Funston from Lieutenant C. R. Nor

civilians are believed to have been
kidnaped and carried south of the in

The number of raiders Is uncertain,
reports placing the numbers from fifty
to 200. They set fire to the patrol
camp and fired on the troopers as they
tried to escape In the dark. The ban

Coion«i Frederick W. Sibley, com
mander of the Fourteenth Cavalry, will
proceed from Clark to take command
of the troops proceeding to Glen

MILLIONS WASTED ON ROADS
Lack of Intelligent System Has Cauosd
Big Leakage.
• Millions of dollars have been watteft
on road building because there has
lieen no continuity of* purpose, no m>»
ordination of management, no central',
Izatiou of control in the work, accord*
Ing to the American Highway associa
tion. 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. |
