Salient Points In German Reply, j

ed Intention of our enemies and the!

after tho torpedolnv, to permit pas

In addition, it tuny be pointed out that
If shu l.usitiinia had been spared thou
sands of cases of munitions would
have been sent to Germany's enemies,
and thereby thousands of German
mothers and children robbed of bread
winners. In order to exclude any unforeseen
dangers to American passenger steain
ers, German submarines wiil be in
structed to permit the free and safe
passane of such passenger steamers,
when made recognizable by special
markliiKs and notified at reasonable
time In advance. The imperial gov
ernment, however, confidently hopes
that the American government will as
sume to guarantee that these vessels
have no contraband on board.
Use of Neutral Vessels Suggested.
In order to furnish adequate facili
ties for travel across the Atlantic for
American citlnens the German govern
ment submits for consideration a pro
posal to increaso the number of avail
able steamers by Installing in passen
ger service a reasonable number of
neutral steamers under tho American
flag, tho exact number to be agreed
upon.
The Imperial government believes it
can assume that in this manner ade
quate facilities for travel across tho
Atlantic ocean can bo afforded Ameri
can citizens. There would, therefore,
appear to be no compelling necessity
for American citizens to travel to Eu
rope In time of var on ships carrying
an enemy flag. In particular, the im
perial government is unable to admit
that Amorlcnn citizens can protect an
enemy Bhlp through the mere fact of
their presence on board.
If, however, It should not be possi
ble for the American government to
acquire on adequate number of neu
tral passenger steamers, the Imperial
gorernmeut is prepared to interpose
no objections to the placing under the
American flag by the American gov
ernment of four enemy passenger
steamers for passenger traffic be

Wasco County Wheat Hurt.
The Dalles. The estimated record
breaking yield of wheat in Wasco
county this year has been, reduced re
cently as the result of hot weather,
which has shriveled some of the grain
in different localities. Spring wheat
has been slightly damaged generally,
and a little fall grain, which was sown
late, has been hurt, so that the output
of the ranches of this county will be
considerably less than had been expected.
Women Plead Guilty to Manslaughter.
Portland. Mrs. Bessie Fowle, aged
63, and her daughter, Harriet Fowle,
aged 17, pleaded guilty in the circuit
court to charges of manslaughter In
having killed the girl's infant boy on

for murder in the second degree, but
were allowed to plead guilty to the
lesser charge. Sentence was deferred.
