THE RICIDiONP PALLADIUM AND SUI7-TELEGRA1L WEDNESDAY, JULY 14. 1915.

EXPECT STRONG REPLY BY U.S. TO LAST MOTE Washington Takes With Grain of Salt Reports Minimizing: Seriousness of the Present Situation.

FIRM TONE WANTED Official Circles Expect Wilson to Maintain All Former Contentions in Concluding Answer. ; CORNISH, N. H., July 14. President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing conferred today for the first time since the German reply was received. The conference which related only to the preliminary phases of the rejoinder that the United States will make was held over a telephone wire near 400 miles . long, extending from Cornish to Washington. No new element in the consideration of the German note has arisen, it was stated today, and the president .continued his golf with his vacation nearlng its end. The president's va cation has done him a great deal of good ana ae win reiurn uiinuui(wu ... UV.U .M 1 ; WILSON TO RETURN. WASHINGTON, July 14. Regarding as significant the White House statement issued here last night at the today awaited with intense Interest the chief executive's return to the capital and the cabinet meeting which will be devoted to consideration of the situation which as arisen between Germany and tfc United States. The presidents promise, announced In his communication to Private Secretary Tumulty that "there will be as prompt announcement as possible of the purposes of this government," has served to disperse the impression that the president does not regard with extreme concern the strained relations of the two countries. Reports that the president appeared not to be worried ever the outlook and that optimism prevailed at Cornish, have been negatived by the between-the-lines construction placed on his telegram. Expect Vigorous Reply. There Is nothing In the telegram which says that drastic action Is to be taken by the United States but for some reason official Washington today interprets Mr. Wilson's brief promise as foreshadowing a prompt and vigorous reply to the German note of last week. " ' ; It is understood here that the White Hou i statement was given out to correct certain published reports which officials felt might convey the wrong Idea about the administration's point of view. Under the circumstances it is not difficult to believe that when the president returns he and his cabinet will take steps to curtail evtended diplomatic correspondence with Germany and that the third note of this government in Germany's submarine warfare will have the ring of finality. It is not believed the United States will recede in any degree from the position it has undertaken. In February German was warned that this government would not omit any word or ace necessary ior ine pruietuuu ui me lives and rights of Americans on the high .seas. That warning is of dlplO: matic record. It 1b not the habit of Ihe president "to back pedal" In diplomatic affairs and close students of the German-American controversy deiterate the views heretofore clearly ex pressed by him. Likewise, it is not assumed that he wishes to avoid the Issue. Can Not Accept Offers. That there is reabon to be apprerniny has made counter proposals, the ory nature of which forbid their acrpLance by the United States. The 1 "iscr's government, however, has not ; ccompanied these counter-proposals v!!h any offer of reparation for the -nericon lives lost on the Lusitania, rir is there a promise that other . meric ans will not be destroyed in a : milar iranner. The most Germany rrcmls?s is that if Americans will foll w certain recommendations of the German government, such as traveling en marked ships, immunity from atack will be guaranteed. Officials and diplomatic circles hardy expect President Wilson and his abinet to enter into such a bargain.

WILDCAT CHASES PECK ME TO HIS MOTHER

Feline : Beast Attacks Two Young Men Out for Stroll and Makes Them Break Speed Law. The wild cat, terrorizing resident, residing just east of the city, chased Roy Peck and Duke Rogers for a half mile yesterday. They escaped without injury, but, according to Peck, superior speed alone prevented a tragedy. Peck told the following story of the encounter with the monster cat at the Entre Nous club last night. "You see, Duke and myself were monkeying around near the old Slick place. I says to Duke give me a light for my pill. Duke's just rolled one. and has his face burled in his bands trying to light the white tube. I reaches over, sticks my face in his hands to catch a light when I hear some noise in the weeds and underbrush. I thought It was a cur or some chickens, so I didn't look up.

Also he still has the money, about $25, which the highwaymen attempted to take from him. Reece believes that he seriously injured one of the robbers. A short time after Reece's battle with the two robbers several automobiles arrived on the scene and several of the autoists assisted in the search for the robbers. Chief Goodwin is inclined to believe that the two men who attacked Reece were the same ones who attacked Mrs. Orville Baker, wife of a farmer living near New Castle, Monday night while Baker was away from home. The men carried Mrs. Baker from her bed, bound and gagged her and then left her on the lawn, where she was found when her husband returned home. As the house was not robbed it is believed the woman's assailants were frightened away after they had carried her out of the house. The descriptions of these two men tally with the descriptions of the men who attacked Reece. Larry Holt, an itinerant printer, reports that two negroes attacked him in the north end C. & O. yards, this city, Tuesday night. He fought them off but was cut badly in his right hand during the battle. The rivers of Europe are estimated to be capable of supplying 46,000,000horse power , Russia's share being 12,000,000.

"We take a couple of steps when we hear an awful hissing,, bawling and barking. I sees the wild cat, head close to the ground, ready to jump. Duke lets out a howl, and away we speed to mother; first Duke leads me, then I go around him; and for a quarter of a mile, it was a pretty race to see who was to be crowned victor of the Speedway. We beat the cat to safety, but believe me, I felt the feline beast smelling the heels of my feet several times." . - Friends tried to tell Peck that unless wildcats have. young with them, they will not attack a person. Peck claimed that, although he did not see them, he and Duke ; knew this particular cat had a' dozen kittens. Members . of the club, headed . by Clarence Mote, former deputy sheriff, renowned for his -prowess with a gun, have organized with Police Sergeant McNally as drillmaster and Eddie Morrell as chief of the automobile hospital corps, to visit the scene of Peck's and Rogers' escape from deather and destruction.

BLAME FOUL THEFT ON WOMAN BEATERS NEWCASTLE, Ind., July 14. The theft of 100 chickens from the farm of Orvall Baker on the same night that Baker's 24-year-old wife was dragged from beside her three small sleeping children and left unconscious with a gag in her, mouth in a nearby orchard, is believed to have been committed by the same intruders. The motive for combining the twa crimes is puzzling the sheriff of Henry county and his deputies. A posse of farmers failed to find any clue to the thieves. Mrs. Baker is in a serious condition from nervous prostration as a result of her experience. . - WITH THROTTLE OPEN WEATHER MAN HITS WARM SPEED Of 88 After draining all the water from his carbureter, which has been backfiring and missing, giving him all kinds of trouble for the last few weeks, the wether man stepped on the accelerator and pushed the old speedometer up to 88 yesterday and was going after that record when he touched 86 at noon today. (The weather editor being overcome by the beattbeautomobileand sport writer was turned loose on the weather assignment and turned in this masterpiece which when interpreted and translated into English means that' it has stopped raining and that temperatures of 88 and 86 degrees were recorded yesterday and today.) May Call Wenger. Night air had a bad effect on the mixture and the weather man's speed during the night dropped as low as 62. Pedestrians were hunting cover today, fearing to be on the public thoroughfares with such a reckless speed fiend at large. Most of us were afraid we'd get run down and would have to be pulled into the Reid Memorial garage with a busted cooling system by Buck Wenger. Not only has the weather man's mania for speed inflicted a hardship on Richmond citizens but it has been felt all over the country. - - Predictions today were that bis old boat wouldn't stand up .. under the strain and that he would -slow up because of engine trouble later In the week. During the first four laps, however, he has made a sensational nonstop record. ALASKA RECORD. JUNEAU, Alaska, July 14. The memory of the oldest native inhabitant of Southeastern Alaska does not recall such wether conditions as prevail today in and about Juneau. The mercury has reched 90 degrees in the shade and thermometers in the business district have climbed to the 00 mark. .The sun shines twenty out of the twenty-four hours here at this seson. MOB SCARES SUBSIDES ATLANTA, July 14. Excitement over the . rumors of mobs that proposed to lynch Leo M. Frank had completely died out this morning. There was no sign of disorder at Macon or MHledgeville during the night and it was believed by some that the authorities had been hoaxed. The militiamen called out at Macon to protect Frank found nothing to do and were sent back to their homes. "Ridiculous," was the term , applied to the mob reports about the governor's office today. . IN BORROWED CLOTHES MAN GETS SENTENCE. James Parker, the man who burned his clothing in the city jail Monday night, was arraigned in city court this morning attired in a blue gingham shirt and overalls, and pleaded guilty to a charge of intoxication. He drew $5 and costs. All yesterday morning and afternoon Parker-sat naked in his cell and when clothing was brought to him last night he was overjoyed.

11017 GERMS SPEND HOURS WATCHING FOE French Junior Officer With Camera Snaps French Fighters Resting Between Duels of Artillery.

HEARS TEUTON SONGS Takes Photograph and Kaiser's Men Throw Bundle of Cigarettes at Daring Officer of Foes. PARIS, July 14. The current issue of "Illustration." France's leading pictorial weekly, contains a remarkable story and a remarkable photograph of an incident which occurred ten days ago in the famous forest of the Argonne. Both picture and narrative are the work of a French junior officer, who writes: - The General one morning said to me, "I want you to make your way to our first line, and if possible photograph the German trenches twenty yards away. Mind you keep your wits about you, for the enemy shoots the moment he hears a sound!" - Amid a mass otTjrancbes I perceived our lads. A lieutenant, warned by. telephone, was expecting me. In a penetrating whisper he said, "Hish! they're only 15 metres off." I soon reached a faggot hedge, and peeping through, with the aid of a field-glass, I could distinguish a heap of fresh soil ahead. It was the German trenches. ,.:.-.,. VDon't look too long," said the lieutenant in my ear. "or a bullet will whip that periscope from your band. What we'd like to know is whether they're bad boys or good boys." . Explains Terms. By "bad boys" he meant the Prussians who fling grenades, bombs, -or minenwerfer shells morning, noon and night; and by "good boys" the Saxons, who leave us in peace for hours at a stretch. We kept as still as mice all the while, watching intently. Suddenly the lieutenant began to whistle the popular German song: Drunten im Unterland, Eli da lst's so wunderschoen. In the valley below How glorious the life! He stopped. We never moved a muscle. Then from the trench opposite came the concluding couplet, whistled in the same key: Ei da lst's so wunderschoen, Da mocht' lch Jager sein! How glorious the life With their huntsmen you know! " I could hardly believe my ears. At my side a soldier exclaimed, "Look! there's a German That's the first we've seen alive since the war began. Ordered To Be Silent. "Hold your tongue! Do you want to be bombarded?" This from the lieutenant. "Heavens!" pursued the soldier, whom artillery has made deaf, "There is a couple, one with a green cap and something shining on it." With my glass I could easily see two German heads just appearing above their parapet of earth a sharp-shooter and a Bavarian infantryman. They saw the blue kepi of our imprudent "piou-piou." In genial terms they called out, "'m Morgen Kamrade." (Good morning, comrade.) Then other heads appeared. I counted five; one belonged to an officer. This seemed to be the physichological moment to get a useful and curious record. So I handed the lieutenant the camera and he held it above the trench and cried out, "Photographiren?" "Ja, Ja," called back the Germans, whose round faces broke into a broad smile. I quickly scaled our trench and getting possession of the kodak I stretched myself flat on the loose soil and focussed the German trench. "Click," and with a salute to the enemy I dropped back into the trench just as a cheery "Dank" came across the intervening space. They seemed quite happy. One of them went so far as t othrow us a packet of cigarettes. A bough stopped it, and instantly a German came out of his trench apparently with the object of picking it up and banding it to us. But the lieutenant, with a grim smile ,poibted a revolver at him; the Teuton returned and the cigarettes stayed where they were. GROWN PRINCE . Continued From Page One ships having a tonnage of 125,000. The submarines also sank fishing steamers which the admiralty declare mostly to have been armed patrol boats. "The loss of life was remarkably small," adds the admiralty statement. "This was due to the precautions taken by the submarines." ITALIANS LOSE 80,000. BERLIN, July 14.

GERHANS SURPRISED

AT U, S, RECEPTION OF GERMANY'S NOTE ' (BY FREDERICK WERNER.) . BERLIN, (via. Amsterdam). July 14. America's reception of the Get man reply to President Wilson's note has surprised Berlin officialdom. It bad been expected that the German government's proffer to make extraordinary steps to protect American lives in the' submarine zone would show that Grmany was zealous to protect neutrals and American comment on this pledge has caused deep disappointment. - Excerpts from editorial comment in the United States have been cabled here from London, and. though understood to be tinted with English feeling, these comments Indicate the German reply is unsatisfactory. Their publication has caused a - fresh --outburst of feeling against America and support of Germany's submarine warfare. The Rhine Westphalia Journal is particularly bitter In Its attack on tne United States, saying: "We sought no quarrel with America, but if the American government continues to hold a shield before helpseeking England and threatens us. our honor comples us to strike the shield with an iron club."
