The | AMERICAN NOTE WILLBE FORWARDED - TOMORROW ' ¥o IR TIMATION OF 175 CONTENTS | GIVEN OUT; HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED TO ANY APPRECI- | ABLE EXTENT i (By Associated Press) | Washington, June 8.—President Wilson announced today that the note to Germany was about finished and would go forward shortly.

The general character of the note has not been modified, however, he 1said. He emphasized that no one {had held up the communication. The IPresldent gave no indication of the note’s contents.

NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED IN GERMAN PAPERS (By, Associated Press.) Berlin, June 8.—White spaces here and there in the columns of the newspapers, such as appear {n the French and Austrian papers, show- ing where an offending sentence or paragraph has been chiseled out by order of the censor, do not appear !in the German press. The explana- tion judging by a report from Dues- seldorf, is that it is not permitted. In Duesseldorf the police descended on the office of the Volkeszeitung, a socialist organ, late on a Saturday afternoon, and ordered that the Sun- day number should not appear. The occasion for the action was the fact that the Volkeszeitung had appeared the day before with blank” spaces, lzahowlmz excisions. by the censor which had not been filled up with permitted matter. . bullet pierces his head and he falls dead on the field. In this particular case the professor does not think there is any physical pain, not even at the moment when the bullet comes in contact with the skull. He questions very much whether pain is even felt by the soldiers who meet their death in this way, even though their mental concentrated. With regard to drowning in sea battles, Rothnagel is also of opinion that death is painless, and he sees absolutely no reason to support the popular belief that a drowning man in the brief act of dying has his past life reproduced before his eyes.

American representatives are said to be offering prompt supplies of tuel and endeavoring to secure con- tracts over long periods from neu- tral customers of long standing.

AUTHORITY DECLARES WAR WILL UNBALANCE MANY (By Associated Press.) London, June 8.—Sir James Crichton-Browne, who stands in the forefront of English authorities on mental and nervous diseases, says that one of the saddest results of the war will be a great increase in the number of lunaties. Addressing the annual meeting of the Asylum Workers' Association, he said “Much of the aftermath of war will find its way into asylums. The enormous number of cranial in- juries wil undoubtedy lead to much mental impairment. The large number of cases of shock to the nerves and overstrain will cause much neurasthenia and other disor- ders. There has been throughout the whole country immeasurable sor- row and bereavement which in many cases will deepen into morbid melan- choly.” WOMEN MOTORMEN NEXT THING FOR BERLIN (By Associated Press.)

Rome, June 8.—The Italian army is proceeding methodically to take possession of important positions along the entire frontier, reports General Caderna, chief of the staff. The Italian losses are relatively light. The Italian army is in close contact with the enemy from Capor- etto to the sea and fighting con- tinues. French Claim Prograss (By Associated Press.) London, June 8.—Virtually the entire western line of battle in the European conflict except for those portions held by the Belgians and British, have been the scene of what would appear to be a series of offen- sive movements initiated by the French. 2 The French reports claim ad- vances at many points and the re- pulse of the German counter attacks. The German official announcements make but brief reference to the western front, merely saying the French attacks were repulsed. On the eastern front fierce fight- ing between the Russians and Aus- tro-Germans continues with many points frequently changing hands and the Russians claiming some ad- vances. The Germans claim the Russians’ resistance in the Baltic provinces has been broken down and that the Germans have won a striking vic- tory. On the Austro-Italian frontier op- erations continue put little informa- tion has been received outside of the official admission at Vienna that the Italians appear to be advancing along the Isonzo river In strong force. NOTORIOUS ASHLEY CANG CONPLETELY BROKEN 0P Miami, Fla, June 8—“Bob has been killed. John will pay the pen- "alty for his crime on the gallows and that will be the last of it.” i This statement was made last night by Ed Rodgers, father-in-law of Will Ashley, who was here yester- |day making arrangements to send the body of the young desparado yhome for burial, say the Metropolis. | “There will be no further trouble from the Ashley's,” he further said. In telling of the condition of the family, Rodgers said that the moth- jer was a good Christian woman and that although it was reported that the family had plenty of the money that was taken from the Stuart bank, | there was no truth in it and that {“Mrs. Ashley would starve before she would touch a cent of it.” He said that the mother is old and crazed with her troubles, and that when John is hanged that they would ask Dade county for his body and that it would be buried by the side of the brother Bob who was {killed here Wednesday. It was learned yesterday that the young desperado had dyed his hair a reddish color and that it was nat- urally a deep black. Mr. Rodgers sat on the veranda of the undertaking parlors all day, watching the crowds come and go. He looked haggard and care-worn from the trouble that his wife’s people were experiencing. Bob Ashley is survived by his par- ents, three sisters and three brothers besides John, who is in jail here. Rodgers stated that Bob had been crazy for about two months and that his family had been afraid that he would be killed. He said that Bob had fallen out with “Kid” Lowe more than two months ago and that [he and Lowe had divided the money and parted. He said that this was | by any of the Ashleys. It is believed by many who are familiar with the facts in the case {that “Kid” Lowe is dead. Whether .he was killed by Bob Ashley or by other outlaws is not known by those who hold to this theory Investigators in Bavaria have found that the more bread school, children eat the better the condition of their teeth. the last that was ever seen of Lowe | THREE OF THE S HIPS WERE NORWEGIAN VESSELS AND ONE A BELGIAN STEAMER; EVERAL PERISH ON LATTER (By Associated Press.)

London, June 8.—The recent rise of meat has caused on: of London's great dailies to plead the cause of the bean, a food little used in Eng- land. Meat is the basis of the English- man’s fare. 'If of the well-to-do class, he buys the best English meat, which is unsurpassed in tenderness and flavor. If unable to afford Eng- lish meats, he gets the cold storage products of Australia and of the Ar- gintine Republic and the United States. Working classes live on stews made of scraps or of frozen rabbits from Australia. Cabbage, sprouts or caulifiower in varying de- grees of freshness and potatoes con- stitute the rest of the staple fare of Britain. Lentils are better known than beans and are beginning to have a small vogue as a meat substitute. But about the only bean {s the French haricot. The small white bean, the staple food of the western ranches, the mining and laboring home of America, and also the large red bean have yet to be introduced in the British Isles. In no respect are the British more conservative than in the matter of food, but the war has already worked many changes and the recent increase in meat prices amounting from 3 to 4 cents a pound may help along the cause of the bean.
