There are no such phrases in it as "strict accounta­ bility" or "omlkany word or act nec­ essary," such as gave the note of May 15 a menacing character. It was the absence of such threat­ ening phrases which created the gen­ eral Impression that the new note gave assurance of a peaceable settle­ ment or the issue between the two countries.

Following is the text of President Wilson's segond note to Germany, on the sinking of the Lusitania: "American Ambassador, Berlin. "You are instructed to deliver text- ually the following note to the min­ ister of foreign affairs: "In compliance with your excel­ lency's request I did not fail to trans­ mit to my government immediately upon their receipt your notes of May 28 in reply to my note of May 15, and your supplementary note of Juno 1, setting forth the conclusions so far as reached by the imperial'German gov­ ernment concerning the attacks on the American steamers Cushing and Gulflight. I am now instructed by my government to communicate the ^fol­ lowing in reply: "The government of the United States notes with gratification the full recognition by the imperial German government, in discussing the cases of the Cushing and the Gulflight, of the principle of the freedom of all parts of the open sea to neutral ships and the frank willingness of the imperial German government to acknowledge and meet its liability where the fact of attack upon neutral ships which have not been guilty of any hostile act by German aircraft or vessel of war Is satisfactorily established; and the government of the United States will, In due course, lay before the imperial German government as it requests, full Information concerning attack on the steamer Cushing. U ' v The Fa la tut Case. *Wlth regard to the sinking of the steamer Falaba, by whioh an Ameri­ can citizen lost his life, the govern­ ment of the United States is surprised to find the imperial German govern- 9 ment contending that an effort on the part of a merchantman to escape cap­ ture and secure assistance, alters the obligation of the officer sacking to make the capture in respect of the safety of the lives of those on board the merchantman, although the vessel had ceased her attempt to escape when torpedoed. These are not new circumstances. T'-.ey have beon In the minds of statesmen and of interna­ tional jurists throughout the develop­ ment of naval warfare, and the gov­ ernment of the United States does not understand that they have eier been held to alter the principles of human­ ity upon which it has insisted. Noth­ ing but actual forcible resistance or continued efforts to escape by flight when ordered to stop for the purpose viof visit on the part of the merchant- p; man, has ever been held to forfeit the lives of her passengers or crew. The government of the United States, how­ ever, does not understand that the lnt- „ / .perial German government is seeking ,r in this case to .relieve itself of llabll- &$**--lty, but only intends to set forth the s^.'V. circumstances which led the *com- §|$2^,mander of the submarine to allow him- ^'"^yself to be hurried into the course •'^'.Wfwhlch j,e toot U. 8.

In 14 1a considered Ing the loss of American lives result­ ing from the sinking of the steamship Lusitania, adverts at some length to ^certain information which the Im­ perial German government has re­ ceived with regard to character and outfit of that vessel, and your excel­ lency expresses the fear that this in­ formation may not have been brought to the attention of the government of the United States. It is stated in the note that the Lusitania was undoubt­ edly equipped with masked guns, sup­ plied with trained gunners and spe­ cial ammunition, transporting troops from Canada, carrying a cargo not permitted under the laws of the United States to a vessel also carry­ ing passengers, and serving. In virtual effect, as an auxiliary to, the naval forces of Great Britain. Fortunately these are matters concerning which the government of the United States Is in a position to give the Imperial /German government official informa­ tion. Of the facts alleged in your ex­ cellency's note, it true, the govern­ ment of the United States would have been bound to take official cognizance In performing its recognized duty as a neutral power and In enforcing its na­ tional laws. It was its duty to see to it that the Lusitania was not armed for offensive action, that, she was not serving as a transport, that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States and that, if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she would not re­ ceive clearances as a merchantman; i»nd it performed that duty and en­ forced its statutes with scrupulous vigilance through its regularly consti­ tuted officials. It is able; therefore, to assure the Imperial German govern­ ment that it has been misinformed. German Evidence Invited. "If the imperial German government should deem Itself to be In possession of Convincing evidence that the offi­ cials of the government of the United States did not perform these duties with thoroughness, the government of the United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for con­ sideration. "Whatever may be the contentions of the Imperial German government regarding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or re­ garding 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 the legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking the vessel. 8eeka Rights of Humanity, "But the sinking of passenger shljJs involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the eases, 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 dip­ lomatic discussion or of international controversy. Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the principal fact Is that a great steam­ er, primarily* and chiefly a convey­ ance for passengera, and carrying more than a thousand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sunk with­ out so much as a challenge or a warn­ ing, and that men, women and chil­ dren were sent to their death' in cir­ cumstances 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 responsibili­ ty which the government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in this tragic occurrence, and to the indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. The government of the .United States Is contending for something much great­ er than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It is con­ tending for nothing less high and sa­ cred than the rights of humanity, which every government honors ltr self in respecting and which no gov­ ernment is justified in resigning on behalf of those uiider its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to stop when or­ dered to do so for the purpose of vis­ it 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 ex­ plicit Instructions issued on August 3, 1914, by the imperial German admir­ alty to its rommanders at sea to have recognized and embodied, as do the naval code* of all other nations, and upon It every traveler and seaman has 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 in­ timation that the imperial German government is willing now, as before, to accept the good offices of the -Uni-1 murderer is oft' i imprisoned for life on account of the refusal of the exe­ cutioner to work for nothing. The sen­ tence Is, therefore, mechanically Commuted more often than not. A man was recently sentenced to death for the murder of a merchant's wife. The father of the victim Is too poor to pay the executioner's fee, and the merchant is averse to making the payment on the ground that his wife was a bad woman. It la possible that the sutn neces­ sary for the payment of the execution- marriageable and a girl at the age of 12. The employment of women In the cafes and restaurants in Paris has caused the men waiter to vigorously protest against it, claiming that the introduction of women would develop serious labor conflicts after the' war. ted States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the govern­ ment of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serre Its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation or suggestion the other may be wily ing to have it convey and cordially- invites the imperial German govern* ment to make use of its service in this way at Its convenience. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a partial accommodation of interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of . the pres­ ent distressing conflict. "In the meantime, whatever arrange? ment may happily be made between the parties to the war, and whatever may in the opinion of the imperial German government have been the provocation or the circumstantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea, the government 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 or their rights as neutrals invaded. "The government of the United States, therefore, very earnestly and very Solemnly renews the presenta­ tions of its note transmitted to the imperial German government on the 15th of May, and relies in these rep­ resentations upon the principles of humanity, the universally recognized understandings of international law, and the ancieqt friendship 'of the German nation. Insists on Rights of Americans. "The government of the United States cannot admit that the proc­ lamation 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 ship­ masters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passen gers on merchant ships of belligerent nationality. It does not understand the imperial German government to question those rights. It understands it, also, to accept as established be­ yond question the principle that the lives of noncombatants cannot law fully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresisting merchantman, and to rec ognlze the obligation to take sufficient precautions to ascertain whether suspected merchantman is in fact of belligerent nationality or is In fact carrying contraband of war under neutral flag. . The government of the United States therefore deems it rea­ sonable to expect that the imperial German government will adopt the measures necessary to put these prin ciples into practice in respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for ftMW- ances that this will be done. (Signed) "ROBERT LANSING, "Secretary of State, ad Interim." Claims Right to Sink U. 8. Ships. Washington, June 12.--The German government's reply to the second American note regarding the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the Eitel Frledrich reached the state department on Friday. The German answer insists that the stopping of supplies to an. enemy bel­ ligerent may be effected by the de­ struction of the contraband and the destruction of the ship carrying the contraband, without violation of the treaty obligations. It contends that a prise court is necessary to fix the amount of com­ pensation and that there is no occa­ sion for direct diplomatic negotiations in the case unless the prize court should fail to award compensation. The obligation of a belligerent to pay compensation remains, regardless of the action of the prize court, the German note contends and should the prize court tail to award compensar tion, Germany would undertake to ar­ range equitable indemnity. As a pre­ caution and a preliminary procedure Germany, suggests that the American claimants enter their claims on rec­ ord. Hold Treaty Not Violated. The following is in part the German reply: "The German government cannot admit that, as the American govern­ ment assumed, the destruction of the sailing vessel mentioned constitutes a violation of the treaties concluded be­ tween Prussia and the United States at an earlier date/ and now applicable to the relations between the German empire and the United States, or of the American^ rights derived there­ from. "For these treaties did not have the intention of depriving one of the con­ tracting parties engaged in war, of the right of stopping the supply of contraband to his enemy when he rec­ ognizes the supply of such as detri­ mental to his military interests. "On the contrary, article 13 of the Prussian-American treaty of July 11, 1799, expressly reserves to the party at w&r the right to stop the carrying of contraband and to detain the con­ traband. • er will be collected by subscriptions among the relatives and friends of the victim, otherwise the murderer will escape beheading and will linger ocit his days in prison.

Springfield.--Home rule for Chicago over its public utilities, through a commission named by the mayor, was passed by the senate by a vote of 32 to 8. With this accomplished, the companion bill which provided for council control of the utilities and which was pending on the senate cal­ endar, was dropped. The senate also passed numbers 548 ar.d 488, the two bills designed to permit the merger of the surface and elevated lines and any future subways and make possi­ ble the extension of franchises for 40 years. The three bills went through with alacrity. The Barr-Dailey-Ettelson combination in control of the senate was back of them, and opposition voiced by other senators was futile. All three will go to the house. A significant feature was the light­ ning speed with which the merger bill, acceptable to the traction inter­ ests, moved through the senate. It was introduced last Thursday, amend­ ed Wednesday to give the utilities commission or any future local body of that sort control over the merger lines and finally passed today. Senator Morton D. Hull opposed the bill, but the Barr-Dailey-Ettelson com­ bination, which controls the senate, stooif solidly behind It and It was rushed through. The roll call was: YEAS.

The Broderick bill, No. 488, to per­ mit the merger of the present trac­ tion lines and future railways, was next called up. It went through by a vote of 35 to 3, the same senators being recorded against it. A refer­ endum was provided for franchise ex­ tensions. Several bills struck off by the sen­ ate were duplicates of others pending or already passed by the house. A majority of them, however, were measures which promised to be im­ portant legislation. Among them were: 434--State regulation of publlo ac­ counts. 440--8t#te regulation of private banks. 485--State board of. eleetlon com­ missioners. 503--Corrupt practices act. 512--Chicago election board named by governor, mayor ani county judges. 505--Lumber companies under state utility commission. 528--Senatorial reapportionment for state. 529--State licensing of Chicago car­ penter contractors. 545--Municipal ownership of ele­ vated roads. 358--Organization mutual, eo-opera- tlon Insurance companies. Rival delegations from Rock Island stormed the education committee when the fight was resumed over a bill tt..of Representative Michael L. Igoe, which had passed the house, to prohibit the placing of a Jail within 500 % feet of a church or school. . A disturbance arose in the committee, but the bill was recommended for passage by a vote of 13 to 12. What reception the bill will meet In the house is doubtful. Representa­ tives of the utility corporations are said to be satisfied with it on the the­ ory that a commission named by the mayor is no more objectionable than one appointed by the governor.

Representative Frank Ryan's bill authorizing the city of Chicago to establish houses of correction either within or without the city limits wfes advanced to the order of passage on the house calendar. No objection was made to advance­ ment of the measure. Under .the Ryan bill the city may acquire land anywhere in Cook coun­ ty for the location of a house of cor­ rection, farm colonies or houses of shelter for the confinement of persons convicted under the old house of cor­ rection act. - Representative O'Rourke'a county civil service bill, embodying a referen­ dum clause, was advanced to second reading. Two similar bills have been killed by the house. ^ In all nine bills were advanced and two were killed. The majority and minority reports on the Chicago voting machine inves­ tigation were filed with the clerk ot the house. Former Representative Lucas I. Butts, chairman of the commission, is­ sued a statement criticizing Democrat­ ic members of the commission for al­ leged dilatory tactics and charged them with atempting to obstruct the commission's work. The reports were ordered incorporated In the journals of the house. Governor Dunne signed the mileage bill allowing members of the legisla­ ture railroad fares for 21 round trips to the capital. Various investigations by the' leg­ islature which were contemplated for this session were put to sleep for all time when the house appropriations committee reported, tabling those which had. been referred to it. The Oliourke resolution for i® «om- mission to investigate and procure a site and have plans made for the erec­ tion of a state house in Chicago was killed. It stated that $60,000 a year is paid by the state for office rentals in Chicago. The resolution for an examination fcr the state fire marshal's office also was tabled. It charged that deputy state fire marshals had turned over evidence to insurance companies on a big fire at Vandalia. Pierson's resolution for a commit­ tee to investigate the subject Of voca­ tional education and report to the next legislature met the same fate. The Lipsliulch resolution for investi­ gation of the best methods of reducing the use of habit forming drugs was defeated. Provision Is made for several In­ vestigations, however, in the omnibus appropriation bill. The subjects and the amo nts contemplated are: State university needs, $4,000. Uniform leglslStion, $1,000, Curran, charitable institutions, 111,* 013. Codifying building laws, $3,000. O'Hara vice investigating commis­ sion, $10,000. Salary increases for the judges of the circuit and superior courts and for the state's attorney of Cook coun­ ty are recommended in tvip bills of Representative Smejkal, which were reported favorably by the house Judi­ ciary committee. The increases are from $10,000 a year, the present sal­ ary, to $12,000 for each of the 41 offi­ cials. The bills were first laid on the speaker's table, but after a flock of telegrams had arrived from the judges, some of them newly elected and not yet in office, they were re­ vived and placed on the house calen­ dar. The proposed antl-injunction and anticapital punishment bills are dead. Both failed to receive the necessary votes to advance them. Organized labor, however, won when the house passed by a vote of 95 to 12 the bill requiring 24 consecutive hours' rest a week for all workers. It now goes to the senate. Other bills pa*sed by the house were: Hicks bill, permitting corporations to erect and own one building worth half as much as its site. Requiring railroads to give first aid to injured and have kits on trains. Regulating the size of railroad ca>- booses. Frank Ryan's bill adding three bai- eries to the Illinois National Guard. Chicago's big boost in taxes because of legislative generosity to various employes' pension funds will continue for only three years as a result of amendments to the bills by the senate. The amendments were accepted only after a hard fight on the part of the Democrats to make the tax increases permanent. Estimates of the tax increases varied from $3,000,- 000 to $10,000,000 a year, or II per cent of the present taxes. Senator Hull introduced the limiting amendment to each pension fund bill as it was called up for advancement. He explained that by the time the trustees of the funds come again to the legislature for relief, the legisla­ tive committee which is authorized in his resolution will have reported to the Fiftieth general assembly and there will be some basis on which to compute the needs of the various funds. , v NEWS OF THE STATE Brighton. -- Frank Large, sixteen years old, son of Mr. aud Mrs^ Charles Large, was struck by lightning and killed while cultivating corn.

Man of Today Refuses to Be Consld- , pr*d Old When He Arrives at the yf (.Three 8core Years and Ten-- « Some Examples. Old age used to be regarded as an incurable disease; a time to he rooked forward to with horror; a period of useless cumbering of the earth. That bogy is. scared away by the testimony of some of the living celebri­ ties who have left the biblical "three score and ten" landmark far behind them, says a writer in the Milwaukee Sentinel. Says John Burroughs, the great nat­ uralist, at seventy-seven: "I am in better health and more able to do my work at seventy-seven than I. was. at forty-seven or at fifty- seven. I have produced more manu­ scripts during the last three years than during any other three years of my life, and of a kind that has made unusual intellectual demands upon me. "Old age is not such a bugaboo after all. He is, in many ways, better to live with than youth, because he leaves you more at your ease; you are in the calmer waters; the fret and fever of life have greatly abated. Old age brings the philosophical mind; he brings a deeper, wider outlook upon life; he brings more tolerang£ and charity and good will. I did not squander my youth in excesses, and hence I am not bankrupt in my old age." Amelia E. Barr, the novelist, who is six years older than Burroughs, and who writes six hours a day, gives this recipe for staying young in the eighties: "I have constantly given my mind plenty of new thoughts; and this men­ tal diet has kept me young. It is routine that ages. Even in my sleep I am often mentally busy. I think I know consciously that when I rest I darken. I have constantly proved that intellectual activity infuses life into every part of the body. As far as pos­ sible I avoid anger or worry, for one hour of such debilitating mental exei> else destroys all personal magnetism; and what passes between them and the soul I do not care to say. "I keep my health because I keep my illusions. I will not believe that every.one is false. I will not believe that hope tells a flattering tale, or that friendship is only a- name, or that true love has fled from earth and that the fear of God has vanished. And above all other reasons for my good health I place the vivifying power of love. Love is life." Cardinal Gibbons, eighty yeirs old and In the prime of his powers^says: "I believe firmly that the critical time of life for the making or marring of a sound constitution Is the period of youth. The Beeds fit weakness are sown in the system then; by irregu­ larity of life, particularly in the hours allotted for sleep and rest; by excess in eating and drinking; by grosser ex­ cesses; tfnd by lack ot proper exer­ cise. "The rules of health from which I have never swerved from lay youth are: Regularity of life; moderation in eating and drinking; exercise proper to my age and profession; avoidance of worry; and an ever abiding trust in God's providence. I have always been avaricious in the matter of sleep. 'Early to bed' is the wisest of all saws for him who has work to do and ambi­ tion to do it well."

That was a bright reply which the queen mother of Italy, the extremely popular Margherita, sent back to Kaiser Wilhelm, who had offered ad­ vice that seemed to be Important: "In the house of Savoy we reign one at a time." Harrison Morris of this city, accord­ ing to "Glrard" In the Philadelphia Ledger, says he was not surprised to read such a happy retort. He was one of our commissioners of art, and in Rome attended a very handsome function given by the dowager queen. "I was astonished," said Mr. JVlorri3, "to observe that the king's mother spoke to every guest in his, native tongue. To me she talked in excellent English. A Japanese representative was standing beside me, and I ven­ tured the remark to her majesty that here was a person to whom she could not talk in his own language. To my utter amazement and to the delight of •the Japanese, Bhe spoke several sen­ tences in that tongue. Then Bhe laughed and explained that they were the only Japanese phrases she knew." Diamond Oldest ef Riches. The discoverer of diamonds Is un­ known. From references in Exodus it is apparent that the diamond was a precious stone in Egypt in those early times; and even before that it was known in India, where probably it was first obtained. The name is derived from the Greek word "adamas," mean­ ing "unsubduable." From Pliny, a writer of the first cen­ tury, we learn that the diamond was regarded as the most valuable of all things, and only a few kings ever oould afford to buy them. But as no means of artificial polishing had been discovered the stone depreciated in value, so that the ruby and the emer­ ald became more precious. The .dis­ covery by Ludwig von Berquen, in 1476, of a mode of polishing and cut­ ting it at once returned this gem tc the first place among precious stones..
