NOTE TO GERMANY
CARRIES WARNING
FROM THIS NATION
Repetition of Attacks on Unarmed
Merchantmen Without Warning
Carrying Americans Will be Re
sented. NOTE SENT BERLIN LAST NIGHT
In lAtn MIxhIto United Mutes Gov.
or anient Paswea I'p Question of In
dcnmlty for Iuitanla victims
jumtlon of IYlix-Jpl) Put Forward.
WASHINGTON, July ?2 A contln
uatlon of the friendly relation be
tween the United State? and Germany
depend! upon the kaiser. If the Lu
sitanla Incident Is repeated and an
other merchanbihlp carrying Ameri
cana Is sunk, a break in diplomatic re
lation! may enaue. TI1I1 Is the plain,
emphatic warning In the American
note forwarded to Germany. There li
n Increased hope of a successful so
lution of the controvoiny over sub
marine warfare manifest in official
circles. Borne believe Von Bernstorff
spoke with authority when he told
Lansing Germany would modify IU
methods of submarine attacks.
WASHINGTON, July 22 The last
word of the United States, warning
that a repetition of the sinking of the
Lusltunla may Imperil the friendly
relutlotis between tliU cojntry and
Germany was sent to Berlin. Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
put the final touches on the note last
night. The announcement, It wis ca
bled to Berlin at nine o'clock lot
night, was made by Lansing today.
The text will be kept secret until the
note Is delivered to the foreign office
in Berlin. Upon reaching Berlin it
will be coded at the American em
bassy and handed to Foreign Minis
ter Von Jagow Friday. Lansing said
it will be made public after It! deliv
er). The note emphasises the Unit
ed State! will view with the greatest
concern any further loss of Ameri
can live through the sinking of mer
chantmen without warning and that
such an act cannot be regarded as
other than threatening the hitherto
peaceful relations between the two
countries.
In view of the fact Germany evad
ed the real principles set forth In
previous notes the communication
which the foreign ofilo must now
consider as a final warning. Another
Incident In which merchantmen are
torpedoed, causing the loss of Amor
lean life will be regaidcd as an on'
friendly act, possibly precipitating a
breach of diplomatic relations- An
Important point In connection with
the note Is It does not touch upon a
demand for financial reparation to
the families of Americans lost by the
sinking of the Lusltania. Tnls sub
ject is left open. Such a demand
will unquestionably be made later but
for the present the administration
does not desire to inject money mat
ters Into the question. Thus the Unit
ed States places Its demands for rec
ognition of the principle that Ameri
cans have a right under international
law to travel In safety on the high
seas above any demand for reparation
for those who perished. No threat ts
made as to the action to be taken In
ase another merchantman with Am
ericans aboard Is torpedoed without
warning but the declaration such in
cident will be regardcl as an "un
friendly act" carries wjth It the sug
gestion of a break In diplomatic rela
tion might follow. It Is understood
the United State! has again expressed
Its willingness to act as mediator be
tween Germany and England toward
bringing about a modification of
methods of warfare at sea.

With the aid of the observers on
Lookout and Tamarack mountains,
and the telephone connections, ths

PITAL WITH CRACKED
SKI LL; DROVE TO
TOWN ALONE.
Struck by a piece of flying steel
while aboard his combined harvester
yesterday afternoon. Sam R. Thomp
son, well known local farmer and
Hound-up director, sustained a fracJ
lure of the skull and other painful
Injuries He Is at St. Anthony's hos
pital now and physicians report his
condition Improved today.
The flying steel, coming loose from
some part of the machinery, struck
him Ju.t above right ear and knock
ed him from the top of the combine
underneath the heels of the mules. In
falling he sustained an ugly wound
on the arm and a puinful bruise un
his back. Thinking that his Injuries
were slight, he got into his auto and
drove back to Pendleton from his Wild
Horse ranch. An examination by the
physicians showed that the skull bone
had been fractured. The wound was
cleaned out and four stitches taken to
close It.
Last night about 10 o'clock his con
dition took a rather alarming turn
and he was rushed to the hospital
where the wound was reopened and
a clot of blood removed. The doctors
hope that an operation will not be
necessary.

Police Chief Gets
Vacation in Order
to Raise "Thatch'
A haircut got Chie! of Po-
lice John Kearney 1 - acatlon
last night. s
He applied to the city coun-
il for a leave of absence for
two weeks, the city recorder
presenting the request. There
was some hesitancy until the
chief was called forward to pre-
sent his own reqoest. Only a
clay or two ago the chief had
visited the barbershop and not
only got a hnlrctit but '.isd had
his bead shave'd In order to stay 4
the spreading' baldness. When
he stood before the council last
evening his poll ficame.l like un
ostrich egg.
Acting Mayor Dyer cast his-
critical eye upon th j shorn And
shaven head of the marshal. "I
think," said he with judicial
evenness of tone," that the ap-
plication of the chief should be
granted so that he can have
time to grow a new thatch." The
motion was made In similar
language and Chief Kearney
will leave tomorrow with his
family for Lehman Springs, and
hopes that the mountain air
and chemical waters will com-
bine to grow at least a respect-
able stubble on his head before
his return.

by guards as they reached the top. In
the second and bloodier riot, a crowd
of strikers gathered at the entrance
j to the Tidewater plant, and upon a

j upon the gates. Deputies inside the
I plant opened fire upon the strikers
' with repeating rifles. A rain of fire
j was poured upon the struggling
I crowd which retreated, carrying their
j dead and wounded with them. Just
j before the rush on the gate was made

BE SOLD IN PORTLAND
PORTLAND. Ore., July 22. Ska
mania county. Washington today
completed the financial arrangements
that will result In the hardcurfacing
of a iiighway on the north baik of
the Columbia river from the Clark
county line to the Klickitat boundary
The J210.000 bond Issue recently vot
ed by the people was awarded io the
Lumbermen's Trust company of
Portland, at a premium of 317 if, plus
accrued interest and expenses.
These bonds will bear 5 1-2 per
cent and will mature serially In from
11 to 20 years. The transaction was
negotiated by Camp, secretary of the
trust company, in the presence of a
number of representatives of outside
bond houses. The Portland company
was given preference because Ska
mania considers Itself just a? much
a part of the Portland district as
the counties along the south bank.
As soon as the validity of the
bonds have been tested, so the coun
ty may realize the actual funds, work
on the highway will begin. This. It
is believed, will be early the iomlnr
month.
Skamania county, though of rmali
comparative population and with
much of Its territory taken up with
non-taxed government iands, has
undertaken the bond issue at this
time because the people realize that
the territory requires easy transpor
tation to secure development.
The highway will connect uo the
roads of Clarke county with Samujl
Hill's road construction In the Mary
hill district.
