United | GERMANY'S NOTE WILL BE SATISFACTORY 10 AMERICA THIS IS THE CURRENT REPORT IN GERMAN QUARTERS; AN- SWER DETAINED ON ACCOUNT OF ITALY'S ENTRANCE INTO (By Associated Press.) Washington, May 25.-—President Wilson told callers today that he did not know the cause for the de- lay of the German reply to the Unit- ed States’ note regarding the Lusi- tania, but presumed the German government was for the moment ab. sorbed in the new circumstances re- tting from Italv's entrance into the war. In German quarters it Is said the reply will be such a character as to satisfy American public opinion. The Hague, Holland, has sent a note to Germany protesting against the sinking of the Lusitania. Tt is sub- stantially the same as that sent by the United States. Several Dutch subjects were lost when the Lusi- tania was torpedoed. we ? Neutrality Proclamation (By Ascoclated Press) Washington, May 25.-—The neu- trality proclamation by the United States covering the entrance of Italy into the European was was pub- lished by the State department to- day under date of May 24. (By Assoclated Press.) London, England, May 24.-—The name of King Charles I of England is to be added to the Church of Eng- land’s Calendar of Saints, if a reso- Iution passed by the lower House of Convocation of the Prvince of Can- terbury receives the required sanc- tion from Parliament. Resolutions of the Convocation have no binding power until they have been Jegalized by the House of Parliament br unless they have been made under royal li- cense. The attempt to canonize Charles I has been made repeatedly. Those ad- vocating such a move see in the king's death on the scaffold nothing but a martyrdom for the Anglican church and for parliamentary gov- ernment. Their opponents urge that the king merely met the just deserts of a life of political trickry, lying and absolutism. For many years dur- ing the early eizhteenth century the date of his execution, Jan. 30, was set apart for observances and ser- mons in memory of the ‘“Blessed Martyr King Charles.” — London, May 24.—The govern- ment has at last acreed to arbitrate the question of granting a war bonus to postoffice employes, a large num- her of whom receive wages of less than $7.50 a week.

POVERTY STRICKEN FAMILIES SELL THEIR CHILDREN (By Associated Press.) Peking, May 25.—A Reuter’s telegram from Kweiyang states that “‘the Canton traders continue to car- ry on a traffic in women and girls, who are taken through the Tatangh- sien district to Canton.” Conditions of poverty are so in- tense that it is a custom throughout the country for parenmts to sell chil- dren, either boys or girls, when they are unable to support them. As a rule, the parents of a child can oh- tain a number of dollars, according to the child’s age; but in famine dis- tricts, where poverty is increased, prices have run to below 50 cents per child. In the large cities, how- ever, to which the traders from the interior bring the children for sale, the price may run up, for a strong and- good-looking girl in her teens, to over $50.
