That in spirit: l lie new American note to Oermnuy is; fin ultimatum was the concensus of I iipiiiinn here today, following tha publi cation of the strong protest against the i laiser's submarine warfare. i dt' cirirse it is not an ultimatum in form.

The new communication contains no ti'ivat of anything the United States will do if its wishes are disregarded, !'iit declares that repetition by com liuiiidet's of German vessels of acts in i ontravention of American rights will "constitute un unpardonable offense" ui'l will be regarded, as "deliberately unfriendly." l i 'pinion differed today as to the fiii.g Germany would deem to be in her ivvii best interest tn 'do in view of the firm stand taken by the administration., Some believed she would consider the tiiciiilship of the I'niteil States too val ":ilde to lose; would hesitate about ligniiig the world against her and em "ipiently would not regard American passive hostility lightly. ithcrs thought Germany would feel lie had nothing to lose by the adoption another enemy. Defiance nf the I luted Stales would leave her free to proceed with the submarine warfare as -ho sc,. fit, and those holding this mow expressed the belief that German mid" vioiill keep the government from o ! ing down.

If no answer is made then Germany must comply with the American de mands in practioe or face a break with the I'niteil States. It was in this sense that the note was regarded as an ultimatum, though i it was not regarded as such in a tech nical diplomatic senso. At. the very cutset Germany is told' that the last communication from Ber-I lin was found "very unsatisfactory."! It was held that Germany had recng ) nized the validity of the claims of this: government as to the rights of Ameri cans by its plea of right of retaliation against K.nglnnd's blockade, but the note declaied the United States wns keenly disappointed to find that Ger many "regards itself in large degree exempt from the obligations to observe these principles." Germany was told! that this government "must regard the oviduct of other -belligerent govern ments as irrelevant to any discussion with Germany of what is regarded as grave and unjustifiable violation of the rights of American citizens by German naval commanders. " The German suggestion that certain vessels agreed upon shall bo immune from submarine attack was rejected as implying that other ships were subject to illegal attack. This, it was stated, wTdld be a curtailment and therefore abandonment of the principles for which the United States is contending, "If a belligerent cannot retaliate ajainsf an emeny without injuring the lives of neutrals, as well as their prop erty, humanity, as well as justice and a due regard for the dignity of neutrnl powers,, should dictate that the practice be discontinued," Germany was told. "If persisted in, ,'t would, in such cir cumstances constitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignty of the neutral nation affected." Germany mid the United Stjites ore contending for the same great object freedom of th" seas the unto declared. The co operation of Germany toward at taining this object was invited and be lief wns expressed that it could be ac complished in some measure before the present war ends. In the meantime,' however, the nnte declared, the valui'i which tlie United States pla.es upon the friroidslip between the people of this country and Germany "impels it; to impress very solemnly upon the im- periul government the n.'iessity for scrupulous obseri aiu-e of neutral rights in this critical matter."

After narrowly escaping lynchingnt the hands of infuriate cowboys, I.on Dean, a sheeo herder, nllcged ubductor of Krnest Km pey, a well known rancher, who was held prisoner in a little hut on Sheep mountain jince last Saturday awaiting Uie payment of a ransom 'of $fi,0U() which had been deuinndedwas placed in jail here early today. Dean is declared to have confessed that he abducted Kmpcy and said to have stated that his reasons for doing so were that he could have used the money he expected to reuli.e to good advantage. At the time of his escape lute yesterday afternoon Kmpcy was chained to a tree while Dean waa tak ing a nap. Kidding himself of his bonds. Kmpcy made his way down tje mountain aide where he encountered several forest rangers who escorted him to Montpclier. Umpey is none the worse tor his experience today. After discovering thut Kmpcy had escaped, Dean abandoned the mountain but with the evident intention of mak ing his escupe. He had not gone far, however, until he was surrounded by a posse of covvbovs nnd captured. Relieved of the terrible stuin under which they have been for the last week, Kmpcy 's relative were almost hysteri cal with joy today. The abductor had threatened to kill Kmpcy if his father, K. , Kmpcy, failed to pay the $ii,()m) ransom by midnight tonight. i Helicving that hi son's life would pay the forfeit, Kmpcy had arranged lo aetiiiesce to the desperado's demands and the money wns all ready to be turned over to him tonight wlien news I nf the young inn n't escape reached here. I Seldom has this region of Idaho been so wrought up, and little groups of men were standing iibout the streets I tnlking over the episode in low tones. Although most of them were agreed that ' Dean should be severely dealt with, no' direct threats of lynching were heard after the band of cowboys who had de termined on summary execution, were reasoned into allotting the law to take its course. In jail here todny Dean talked foely of the abduction of Kmpey. He suid lie arrived in Idaho Fulls July 8, purchased the chain with whicti he bound Kmpey and established a camp on Sheep moun tain where the plans for the abduction were made. Dean denied thnt he intended to ki!1 Kmpcy if he had not received the ran sum, but would probably have held him captive for several necks. Dean said he had been a sheep herd er all of his life, having worked fur Kmpcy at one time, and desiring to go into business for himself knew of no crsier way of securing the necessary funds than by seizing the young rancher for linusom. j Kmpcy suid today that Dean hud treated him fairly well, feeding him on provisions stolen from sheep camps. Dean shared his bed with liim, tin pey laid, but chained him securely tit night by winding the iron links about his body Ii lid legs and lurking them in the bach. A surprise would have awaited Dean vv lieu he leecivcd the ransom motley for I ii pey's release, us il was b urned to day tliat Mieiiff A. bum. of Jefferson county: I'obce Chief I.urrv Hanson, of Mn If.'
