The German reply to President Wilson's note has been received. Germany has ordered the submarine commanders to cease torpedoing passenger ships. In the reply Germany refutes the charges of President Wilson that illegal and inhuman acts have been com mitted. , , Germany hopes that the United States will approve of no demand irreconcilable with the honor of the German people, and with the opening of the way to a peace of justice. Germany protests against the reference of President Wilson to illegal and inhuman acts ,and denies that the German navy purposely destroyed lifo boats with passeng ers. It is proposed that these facts be cleared up by neu tral commissions. The German government suggests to the President that the opportunity be brought about for the fixing of details to the evacuation of occupied territory. The note says that Germany has disptached orders to the submarine commanders, precluding the torpedoing of pas senger, ships. A fundamental change in the German constitution pro viding for representations by the people in decisions of peace and yar, is announced. WASHINGTON, D.

At the beginning or the drive wo wcro told positively that wo need not expect help from the outaldo corpora tions In particular the timber com panies, which subscribed ovor $100, 000 of our quota n the Third Liber ty Loan. In consequence of this wn only estimated $10,000 from this aource. Wo recognised too tho fact that our quota wns based on our bank resources and thpse resources did not Includo a dollar' of money belonging to any of tho timber companies which are ao heavily Interested In the Conn ty and on tho other hand tho cities where the money belonging to these companies Is banked would have their quotas Increased by the amount of these deposits.
