UNITED STATES LATEST NOTE
TO GERMANY A FINALITY.
Not an Ultimatum, But Declares Rep
etition of Lusitania Incident will
be Regarded as Unfriendly
Washington, D. C., July 21. —Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
tonight completed the new note to
Germany warning her that a repeti
tion of the Lusitania disaster or any
violation of the rights of the United
States cn the high seas or loss of
American lives would be considered
an "unfriendly act.”
The note is in the nature of a fina
statement regarding the position
of th© United States, and that the
United States will leave nothing un
done to stand by the position already
announced.
The statement that future trans
gressions will be regarded as un
friendly is taken in diplomatic usage
to presage a bre:*k in friendly rela
tions unless a disavowal and repara
tion is forthcoming.
This note is to be forwarded to
morrow.
Among the points in the new note
are: j
The United States assumes that
warfare to be a retalitory measure,
admits that destruction without
warning of unresisting! merchant
men is illegal. I
German submarines have shown
that they can sink'ships and yet al
low passengers to escape^
The United States can not allow
relations between belligerents to re
sult in the curtailment of the rights
of neutrals.
Th© United States reiterates with
renewed insistence the request for a
disavowal and. reparation of the Lu
sitania sinking.
The United States realizes th© 'un
usual conditions of this war and is
willing to aid any arrangements, be
tween belligerents which do not in
volve the surrender of the United
States rights.
The United States rejects the Ger
man offer of immunity to American
ships not carrying contraband and
Germany, by declaring submarine
immunity to four belligerent ships
under the American flag because the
acceptance of such a suggestion
would admit German's right to set
aside all principles of internation
al law.
Will Return Monday.
The many friends of Dr. and Mrs.
W. L. De La Perriere will be de
lighted to learn that they will reach
the city Monday on their return from
a wedding trip to San Francisco and
the west. They will be

meeting that was given us by the

Now as this has been announced ini
public we feel it our duty after con
sulting with the brethren of the As
sociation and church to say through
the News that there will be no Un
ion meeting at Mt. Tabor. The Ln
ion meeting of our section w 11 me -

TITANIC BATTLES BEING
FOUGHT AROUND WARSAW
*lt Is Said the Kaiser Has Sent for
Empress in Order to Make State
Entry Into Warsaw.
London, July 21. —Titanic battles
which will seal the fate of Warsaw:
are being fought north, west and
south of that city. -At bay on. the
rivers where they are well flanked
by fortresses, the Russians have turn
ed and are fighting desperately to
stem the Austro-German onslaught.
To the north on the River Niarew
the Russians yesterday delivered
three fierce county attacks from
the fortresses of Rozan, Pultusk and
Novog'eorgiovsk. The Germans, who
had these attacks, according to Ber
lin, but apparently have not mad©
further progress southward.
lnnnediat ly west of Warsaw, on.
what is known as the Blonie-Grojeo
line, the Russians have suffered a ro
vers -and arc retreating toward the
Vistula. Farther south General von
Woyrech’s array is making progress
toward the same river, which , has
been reached at one point.
South of Ivangorod, Field Mar
shal von Mackensen, who is direct
ins the offensive between the Vistula
and the Bug, has reached the Rus
■: hi lines and here the greatest of
the battles is being fought for the
possession of the Lublin-Cholm rail
way. I
On the resistance the Russians of
fer along this front, where the Aua
tro-Gerinans are making their big
g st effort, probably depends the sue
cess or failure of the Austro-German
operations. Appan ally the Auetro-
Gernans feel pretty certain of the
outcome, for it is said Eimperor Wil
liam, at Posen, lias sent for the
empress in order to make a state en
try into the Polish capital when it
falls.
