RECEIPT OF REPLY TO ORIGINAL NOTE.
Note Is Over (he Former German
of the Equator It is believed
Will Be Received With Satisfaction By the Allies, Who Hope
That United States Will Aid In the Settling of Various
War Questions.
WASHINGTON Apr. 6. New notes on the mandates have
been sent by the American government to Japan, France, Great
Britain and Italy. The occasion for sending them is said to be
the receipt of Japan's reply to the original nolo protesting
against tho Japanese mandate over the former German Islands' in
the Pacific, north of the equator. The notes are broad enough
to cover all of the American rights growing out of the world war.
The notes form part of a series begun by Secretary Colby in
which the United States insisted upon its full rights as one of
the allied and associated powers, and also the right to pass final
ly, upon all mandates before tlieir adoption.
May Satisfy Alfiesi
PAIUS, Apr. 6. The. reply of the allies to the American note
on mandates will probably express intense satisfaction if the
United States is disposed to resume a collaboration with the al
lies in the settlement of war questions.

Court Costs,
A jury in circuit court this morning
brought a verdict for tho plaintiff in
tho case of John Rogors vs. the City
of I.a Grande, finding him entitled
to !U0 damages because hjd auto-
mohilo ran oft a bridgo over a ditch
on Cherry street which had been cut
off and no bannisters or railing put
in.
Thc accident occurred on November
M, 1020, and the city's plea was that
tho work had been dono lo August
of that year, giving plaintiff ample
opportunity to know that tho width
of the bridge had been reduced. Or-
riglnally tho bridgo was 48 feet wide
but that section which was in the
contcr of tho roadway had been brok
en through by heavy trucks Using
the bridgo and automobiilsts had been
luring lo tho left when going across
the bridge, which is just north pf the
railroad, rwhen tho repair work w
done tho bridgo was cut In two. beinir
only 24 feet wide now, the part that
was cut off having been used to re
pair the other part.
The accident happened at night and
Rogers was going north and could not
see that the bridge had been cut off

of the track pitched down and his
lights failed to show him the danier.
