WILSON DRFATING REPLY TO GERMANY
Special to The Times Hy AnaoclatoU Press.
CORNISH, N. II., July 13. President Wilson is
devoting all the time taken from the golf links to a
careful study of the (lerman situation, and' spends
much time with Secretary Tumulty making notes on
the matter. Nothing has so far occurred to indicate
an intention on the part of the president to return to
the White House, while dinner engagements and
other things tend to show that he will remain here
several days longer than he tlrst intended. The
president’s idea of what stand the United States
should take on the sulnnanne warfare in view of the
j last German note is rapidly taking shape and it may
he safely said that in a general way he will have the
American policy in the present crisis mapped out
before lie returns.
WASHINGTON, I). C., July 13.—Secretary of
State Lansing did not seem inclined to enter into
discussion over the German situation when the
j Washington correspondents called upon him this
morning. All he would say was that he had not yet
made up his mind whether to go to Cornish to dis
cuss the matter with the president or to await the
return of Wilson to the capital. The State Depart
ment is working on the preparation of memoranda
which are assembled at the end of each day ami for
warded to the president. By this method, the chi f
executive is as fully informed as if lie was at his desk
in the White House, and anything of importance that
arrives is dispatched to him over the wire. It is
safe to assert that nothing of a definite character
concerning the American reply to the last Herman
note will be revealed until the president returns,
sometime next week, and perhaps not then, as the
cabinet may decide not to take the public into its
confidence until the reply is ready for dispatch to the
German foreign office.

ously with the announcement of the government to

Ml NK’H, July 13.—The Kingdom of Bavaria
has passed a law making it a crime punishable only
with imprisonment, to charge excessive prices for
articles of daily consumption such as food stuffs,
heat, light, rent, etc. The government intends to
rigorously enforce the law, and all offenders will be
given long terms, and' their goods declared forfeited
to the state.
SUBMARINE CREW GET
MEDALS FOR EXPLOIT
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 13.—Czar Nicholas has decor
ated all the officers and men of the British sub
marine, which recently sank a German battleship in
the Baltic Sea. He has conferred on all of them
membership in one of the military orders of the
Km pi re, and personally expressed his gratitude and
appreciation of their courage and skill.
LONDON, July 13.—The Quakers
notwithstanding their peaceful tradi
tion have contributed 216 men to the
British army and navy and 43 to the
army medical corps. In addition, 43
have Joined the home guards and 16
are serving on recruiting committees.
These figures are taken from the an
nual meeting of the Society of
Friends. The society's book of disci
pline declares Its members must main
tain an "unequivocal testimony
against war." This is a vital princi
ple of Quakerism. Accordingly about
60 of those enlisting sent in their
resignations but only 30 of these were
accepted.
Besides the soldiers, the parents of
the soldiers openly sympathize with
the war. These may all be properly
expelled, but the feeling among the
members is against taking severe
measures.

WITH FAKE
<)
NEW YORK, July 13.—U Is an
nounced here that vigorous steps are
to be taken by telegraph officials to
assist public prosecutors to stamp out
the fraudulent use of telegraph lines
in securing money transfers.
In the case of R. E. Miles, a United
States army man, who was arrested
some time ago for such a fraud, the
WeBtem Union Telegraph Company
has secured his conviction and sen
tence of four years in prison.
On December 16, 1914, Miles sent a
telegram from San Francisco, ad
dressed to Pierre P. Ferry, Seattle,
Wash., stating that he had just ar
rived on the transport "Sherman" and
was "broke”’ anil asking Ferry to
wire him some money for expenses. To
this message he signed the name
"Herbert" intending that the addressee
should think that the message was
sent by one Herbert H. Foy, who had
been a comrade of Miles in the Philip
pines. Both Miles and Ferry were en
listed men. On December 17, Miles
sent a similar message to Ferry ask
ing specifically for $200 more, to
"Herbert H. Foy” at San Francisco,
and Miles, with the aid of letters and
communications which he had stolen
from the real Foy, secured both sums.

CANNOT INSURE
AGAINST AIR
LONDON. July 13 —The problem of
Insurance against damage by air craft
raids has become a serious one for
merchants In Ixmdon and other com
mercial towns near the East Const.
The Insurance companies have been
beset with applIratl'Tn* for Insurance
against fires started by Zeppelins but
the companies doing fire Insurance
business cannot take such risks. In
suring against Zeppelins Is a pure
gamble since there Is nothing in the
way of experience or probabilities on
w'hich any sound system can be based.
Consequently the British government
will be obliged to take charge of the
matter, as it did of insuring merchant
ships in the earlier days of the war.
Banks holding bills against goods in
London warehouses are demanding
policies for aircraft insurance or the
refund of amounts advanced. Sir
Albert Spicer brought up the question
in the House of Commons in the first
meeting under the new cabinet, and
j the Chamber of Commerce has asked
j the Board of Trade to take measures
. also. It is probable that the govern
J ment will bring in a scheme this
j month by which the situation will be
remedied.
