MUST OBSERVE NEUTRAL RIGHTS
\\ ASHINGTON, D. 0., July 24.—The new note
to Germany from this country in the matter of the
submarine negotiations was published in the morn
ing papers throughout the country today. The con
tents of the note were accurately forecasted in the
previous press reports, and nothing is contained
therein that the public has not already been made
aware of. The note does by saying, “This govern
meat impresses very solemnly upon the Imperial
' government of Germany the urgent necessity for
scrupulous observance of neutral rights in this
critical ?n,.ttcr. Friendship itself prompts the
United States to say to the Imperial government
that a repetition by the commanders of German
naval vessels, of acts in contravention of those
rights of neutrals, must be regarded by the govern
ment of the United' States when they affect American
citizens, as deliberately unfriendly.”
WASHINGTON, I). C., July 23.—The- latest
American note to Germany dealing with the sub
marine warfare and the attack on the Lusitania was
delivered to the Berlin foreign office this afternoon.
The State Department has received advices to that
effect from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. The note
will b^> given to the American public tomorrow, and
will appear in the morning papers.

COPENHAGEN, July 24.—The Danish govern
went continues to he annoyed with the condition o
affairs in its colonies. In Iceland there is a larg<
taction advocating separation from Denmark, ant
in the Danish West Indies there is an almost hope
less condition of finances, and some trouble anion*
the negroes which has not as yet been fully under
stood. As recently reported, a commission appoints
to investigate affairs has issued a very pessimists
report, and the government is now holding a mini
her of conferences with the governor of the island.'
who has been called’ to Copenhagen for this pur
pose. These conferences may go on for months.
At the same time Hamilton Jackson, a negrc
who was formerly a teacher in the islands is here
posing as a representative of the negro populatior
of the islands. He has submitted to the government
a series of complaints so numerous that they woult
easily fill a score of newspaper columns. The com
plaints are directed mainly against the islanc
administration.
WILL PROTECT GERMANS
IN AMERICAN FACTORIES
WASHINGTON, 1). C., July 24.—The State
Department officially announced today that all
Germans who are working in American ammunition
factories, will be safe from the possibility of being
extradited' to Germany. Intimations have cony
from Berlin, that all Germans working in arms
factories in the United States would be branded ns
criminals, and their extradition asked for. The offi
cials say that even if the Germans have passed such
a law, there need be no fear of any Germans in this
country being affected by it, as the law would not
be operative in the United States.

CHKTSTTANTA, July 24—The telegraph service
between Norway and the United States, which is
limited to the lines by way of England, has become
so unsatisfactory as to be a matter of grave annoy
ance to Norwegian business. Tt sometimes takes as
much as a week for the exchange of messages by
cable and sometimes the cablegrams disappear
altogether. In addition to the delays caused by the
British censorship and' the crowded condition of the
trans-Atlantic cables, there is trouble because of the
breaking of two direct cables between Norway and
England.
The Norwegian Royal Telegraph Department
has been seeking guarantees that the work of the
cable repairship should not be interfered with by the
German warships, but has been unsuccessful.
Through the courtesy of the Great Northern Tele
graph Company in Copenhagen, the government has
been able to use a cable via west Jutland and New
castle directly to London but this has not relieved
the difficulties about which the Norwegian business
concerns complain.
FRENCH PRISONERS OFWAR
TELE OF DIFFICULTIES IN
ESCAPING FROM BELGIUM
PARTS, July 24.—Daily, French prisoners of
war and civilians confined by the Germans in Bel
gium succeed in making their way to France, gener
ally through Holland and via England. They report
that since the entry of Italy into the war, the
repressive measures taken by the Germans have
grown heavier and' that the precautions taken to
prevent the departure of civilians bound for France
from the occupied territory have been doubled.
Much of the barbed wire fencing which serves as a
harrier to escape into the Netherlands has been
heavily charged with electricity and the number and
the vigilance of the guards of civil and military
prisoners employed in tilling the field's have been
materially increased. All natives of Belgium and
the occupied French provinces are kept in very strict
surveillance one German guard being generally
assigned to every two captives while at work in the
fields or going to or from such work.
Returned refugees assert that free use is made
of both military and civil prisoners in the agrienl
tural undertakings of the Germans, even to a point
close to the fighting line.
ENGLAND PREPARES FOR
WARFARE DEADLT GASES
LONDON, July 24.—An indication that Eng
land is preparing to take up the war by gases and
chemicals in earnest, is seen in a call issued for men
with training in chemistry to enlist for service
abroad, presumably in France. They are to be
enrolled in the Engineer Corps. Height and chest
measurements are waived, and' the eye-sight test
may be taken with glasses. Recruits are promoted
to be corporals on enlistment, and will be further
promoted to be sergeants on the field.

LIST OPPORTUNITY
The past year’s work on our prop
erties to Port Welts have demon
strated beyond any reasonable doubt
that we have a mine which will be
come a big producer. We desire to
extend to the people of Cordova and
nur friends this opportunity of secur
ing a small amount of the stock be
fore Dr. Chase departs for the states
where he will secure the equipment
necessary for the operation of the
mine. We have secured a lease on the
Nugget property which adjoins our
other holdings. This gives us plenty
of nvnilable high grade ore to justify
mill installation. In offering this
stock it is our desire to keep as much
ns possible in Cordova.
