Joe Meyer last week sold his store on the east side to G. E. Cable & Co., who will continue the business. The store was closed _ last Wednesday and since, that time a force of clerks have been busy invoicing. Monday evening Mr. Cable left for the eastern market where he will buy some new goods to.add to the stock. As soon as the goods arrive the store will be reopened. . Mr. Cable is no stranger to the people of Butler “having been in business here several different times. He first came to this city about 14 years ago and purchased the Frank Smith stock of grocer- ies and hardware. Later he moved to Harrisonville where he became manager of the Globe Trading Company’s store. Af- terwards he bought out the J. B. Adair and the H. H. Nichols stores in this city. Mr. Meyer came to this city nearly forty years ago and’ for several years was employed by the Sam’l Levy Company. About thirty years ago he embarked in business for himself. Since which time he has been one of Butler’s foremost business men, always ready to boost every project, for the betterment of this city. His many friends*hope he will remain in Butler and again engage in business. Germans Want Peace. Rotterdam, May 6.—There are indications that the German gov- ernment is fervently desirous to conglude a separate peace. In Berlin, Americans say, persons of every class are talking nothing else. : The belief is generally accepted that in the conversation between Ambassador Gerard and _ the Kaiser at the front the subjects discussed were not confined to Germany’s reply to the American note. Germany wants peace and is looking to America to make the move. Germany wants the reinoval of the British blockade and in that wish is the key to the present sit- uation in the submarine war. The blockade has produced an eco- tiomic situation which is rapidly becoming unbearable. ._ Meanwhile a symptom of the possibility of peace is the strength of the exchange rate, which is mounting daily. ‘Poultry Association Meeting. _ Everyone interested in poultry is invited to attend the meeting of the Bates Cc Poultry Associa- tion at the Court House next Sat- urdsy afternoon, May 13th, at 2 o'clock. The subject for discus- sion will be W: ttes and Rhode Island Reds. At the Ply- ‘not admit any doubt that these Sees Assurance Asked ae : Washington, D. C., May 5.— There will be no break in diplo- matic relations between the Unit- ed States and’Germany on the basis of the German reply to the American ultimatum on the sub- marine warfare. If the German Government holds submarine commanders to a strict compliance with the or- ders as outlined in the note to the United States, there will be a continuation of friendly relations between the two governments. .If, however, any neutral ship should be attacked in disregard of the orders as set forth in the note, a rupture inevitably would follow, Ambassador Gerard would be called from Berlin and Count von Bernstorff would be given his passports without further ado. The following are the conclud- ing paragraphs of the American note sent to Germany April 19: “Tf it is the purpose of the Im- perial Government to prosecute relentless and indiscriminate war- fare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to what the Government of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law the univer- sally recognized dictates of hu- manity, the Government of the United States is.at last forced to the conclusion that there is but one course it can pursue. “Unless the Imperial Govern- ment should now immediately de- clare and effect an abandonment ‘of its present methods of submar- ine warfare against passenger and freight-carrying vessels, the Gov- ernment of the Uninted States can have no choice but to sever diplo- matic relations with the German Empire altogether. ‘This action the Government of the United States contemplates with the greatest reluctance, but feels constrained to take in behalf of humanity and the ights of neu- tral nations.’’ The reply was handed to Am- bassador Gerard last Thursday the essential features of which follow: +The German Government will only state that it has imposed far- reaching restraints upon the use of the submarine weapon, solely, in consideration of neutral inter- ests, in spite of the fact that these restrictions are necessarily of ad- vantnage to Germany’s enemies. *. Thé, German’ submarine forces have had, in fact, orders to con- duct the submarine warfare in accordance with the general principles of visit and search and the destruction of merchant ves- sels recogninzed by international law, the sole exception being the conduct of warfare against enemy trade carried on- enemy freight ships encountered in the war zone surrounding Great Britain. The German Government can- orders were given or are executed in good faith. Errors actually oc- curred. They can, in no kind of warfare, be avoided altogether. The German Government, more- over, is prepared to do its utmost to confine operations of the war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents, thereby also insuring freedom of the seas, a principle upon which the German Government believes now, as before, that if is in agree- ment with the Government of the United States. The German Government, guid- ed by this idea, notifies the Gov- ernment of the United States that the German naval forces have re- ceived the following order: ‘In accordance with the gener- al principles of visit and search and the destruction of merchant vessels recognized by internation- al law, such vessels, both within and without the area declared a naval war zone, shall not be sunk without warning and without sav- itig human lives unless the ship at- tempts to escape or offers resist- ance.’’ Bat neutrals cannot expect that Germany, forced to fight for ex- istence, shall for the sake of neu- interest restrict the use of an i to the naval forces, the Govern- \ principle of freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter it has been violated. a Accordingly the German Goy- ernment is confidant that, in con: _of the new_orders i ment of the United States will also now consider all impediments removed which may have been in the way of mutual co-operation toward restoration of the freedom of the seas during the war, as sug- gested in the note of July 23, 1915, and it does not doubt that the Government of the United States will now demand and insist that the British Government shall forthwith observe the rules of in- ternational law universally recog- nized before the war, as are laid down in the notes presented by the Government of the United States to the British Government December 26, 1914, and November 5, 1915. Should steps taken by the Gov- ernment of the United States not attain the object it desires, to have the laws of humanity fol- lowed by the belligerent nations, the German Government would then be facing a new situation which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision. A large part of the note is tak- en up with charges against the neutrality of the United States, claiming that Great Britain was the first offender in breaking in- ternational law and the United States was dilatory in calling her to account. The President and the cabinet have taken the ground that the shortcomings of Great Britain are not a question at issue at.this time and that part of the note will be disregarded. Merger of M. E. Church Recom- mended. Definite action intended to ef- fect a union of the Methodist Episcopal churches in America, was recommended in a report sub- mitted to the general conference at Saratoga, N. Y., last week by Bishop Earl Cranston for the com- | mission of federation, to which the conference had referred the} parliamentary negotiations. The commission endorsed the proposal to unite the branches of the denomination, and requested the appointment of a:commission authorized to conduct negotia- tions with the Methodist _ Episco- pal church, South, the Methodist Protestant church and other kind- red Wesleyan bodies. This com- mission would report, with recom- mendations to the general confer- ence, in 1920. The report em- bodies without comment, a_pro- BASEBALL SEASON OPENS Butler Trims Amoret in a Fast Ganie 18 to 6. It looks as though Butler has a hall team again. ‘the Amoret team was the attraction in the opening game of the season and the rejuvenated home team. found little trouble in winning. Fred Hupp pitched for Butler and never was in trouble. The heavy hitters from the west part of the county only getting four safe ones. Tink Ellis played first base and it is needless to say that he plays it as it should be played. He batted 1000 and ran bases like Ty Cobb. What looks to be the real find of the season is George Hupp: in left. field. In the field he covers a lot of ground and possesses a good whip. At the bat he stands up to the plate and meets the ball square. He will make one of the most valuable men on the team. The other outfielders Alfred Ellis and Jim Sherman are both good. Orear has been switched from first base to third where he played a good game. Grimsley for Amoret pitched a good game in the earlier innings but tired toward the last and had to be relieved. The Amoret boys are a bunch of clean, gentlemanly ball players. The Score. f 123456789 R. H. EB.

Pa- cifie passenger train No. 201, south bound, at Panama, three miles south of this city, was struck and fatally injured Satur- day morning.

New York, May 4.—Louis En- richt’s substitute for gasoline, which costs a cent anda half to manufacture, was bought today by the Maxim Munitions Corpora- tion. The price is reported to be $2,000,000. While neither the inventor nor officials of the corporation would say what price was paid for the fluid that turns water into engine fuel, it was said Enricht received $1,000,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of stock in the Maxim Mu- nitions Corporation. This stock was quoted at $10.50 a share to- day. Enricht’s discovery consists of a mysterious green fluid which is mixed with ordinary water. and taken to the hospital at Ne- vada.

Scrivner aged 82, a well known merchant of Foster was found dead on the bank of a small stream where he had gone to fish Friday. Mr. Scrivner, who was a very fleshy man, in order to get exer- cise, had walked to the stream about half a mile from town two or three times lately and a few days before his death he was over- come on one of his trips and could not walk back. His friends urged him to discontinue his walks but he persisted with the result that he overexerted himself and death resulted. : Mr. Scrivner was a pioneer of Foster having lived there for thir- Loyal Sons Will Observe ‘Mother's Day.’’ = The Loyal Sons Bible Class will propriate music, songs and butes at their class room in the ing at 9:30.
