1T0TE "ULTIMATUM IN FACT"
Following is the comment of a
number of the larger newspapers of
the United States upon the latent
note of the United States to Germany
on submarine warfare:
llae Rama ObJc.
New York Zeltung: Of quite
peculiar significance Is the fact that
the United States and Germany are
striving for the same object as far
as the freedom of the seas is con
cerned. And the note makes It clear In frank,
curt words, that the aovernment of the
United .States Is reedy at anytime to
play the part of the mediator with ft view
to find a practicable way out of the
present situation.
The diplomatic note which was sent
to Beflln yesterday Is meant at the same
time for London.
Kote la r'laal.
The Chlcaro Tribune: The reply ef
the a-overiiment to the latest Osrman note
appears to be final so far as American
contentions of law and rlsht are con
cerned. lt not an ultimatum In form, it
Is an ultimatum In fact
There can now be no doubt of the duty
of the press and public, and that Is to
accept the stand taken by the covern
ment, without cavil or reservation, and
to give the government our unflinching
and unreserved aupport, whatever the
consequence fate may have for the
nation.
eea Secret Part.
Illinois Btaats Zeltung: As we atated
before the present note to Ocrmany had
been published, apparently our icovern
ment bad a secret agreement with Eng
land to force a break with Oermany. We
now have tha text of the note at hand
and It Justifies our anticipation.
Oermany can never submit to the tone
of u and will, as much aa we are sorry
for It, find no other anewer, than the
breaking off of diplomatic relations.
The note ahowa the president will break
with Oermany at all hasarda. He should
first aak the people of tha United States
if the are satisfied to be driven Into
war. Te note la unworthy of the re
public We hope Oermany will not
blame the people for the present govern
ment's action.
; nisaalsrs Jlot Offeaaa.
The Chicago Herald: President Wil
son's third note to the German govern
ment on the results of Its methods of
submarine warfare la couched In the
language that a eelf-respectlng man
uses to a friend whose acts ' have
wronged him and In the language which
lio Intelligent man would resent from
a neighbor whosa friendship he valued.
It la admirable alike for Its courtesy
snd Us candor. H disguises not the of
fense and It reviles not the offender.

New Tork Herald: Tha most frequent

was that it waa studiously flippant and
Irrelevant. The comment Is pertinent
upon the construction of the last Ameri

The New York Times: With courage
and with firmness, Ireaident Wilson and
Secretary Lansing have responded u
the hopes and tha deep conviction of the
American people. In tha controversy
with Germany it was tlma that there
be an end to the long parleying tn which
our protests and our demands drew forth
only evaalona and Irresponsive counter

It rests with Germany to say whether

of tha latest note addresaed by tha Amer

The semi-finals In the doubles of the
City Tennis tournament were rudely In
terrupted by the shower that rame up at
4 o'clock Friday. As a result, the matchee
must be continued today.
Kennedy and Madden played Ileckett
and Cub Potter three fast sets and part
of a fourth, and the honors so far era
about evenly divided, although Potter and
Heckett have taken two aets to one by
Kennedy and Madden, but that lead Is
nearly offset by the games In the fourth
set, which stsnd five-three, Kennedy and
Madden leading. Today the match will
be continued, and the time has been set
for 2 GO p. in.
The plsy wss very Interesting and the
gallery waa enthusiastic, applauding
every good play, and Incidentally many
more which were not so good. Kennedy
and Madden had little success with their
smaahea, and they lobbed throughout the
match. Heckett met their lobs with vol
leyed Teturns, but-lost many points by
plnclng the bsll In the net, or out of
bound. One lob was played so that It
came down nearly straight near the net.
Heckett waltxed up to It, and with a
vlcloua awing attempted to bounce It up
onto the club house roof. He whirled on
his heol and missed the ball entirely, but
did not loss hla head, and caught it after
the bounce, and returned it, but failed s
moment or two later to return It again,
and loat the point. The play waa very
amusing to the gallery.
The match waa stopped when It started
to rain at 6.06. and will bo played off to
day at 1:80. The match now atanda tn
sets, S-I. 8-0, -, Potter and Beckett lead
ing. The games already played In the
fourth set stand five-three, Madden serv
ing. Another lint Match.
Itussell snd Park I.armoti are fighting
a game battle against Koch and Kcrlbner,
and their ma'tvh stand now so that
cither team might win tomorrow. This
match will bo played oft today after the
championship singles have been played.
The match was hotly played, and all of
tha players are going fast. Koch han
dles his racquet beautifully, and plays a
heady game. Kc.rllmcr handles difficult
shots with ease, but falls down occasion
ally on an easy one. Park Iarmon gets
too strong occasionally and shoots the
bulls to the tall timber but puts up a
fast game as a rule. Rusty Urnwn still
uses his head, and gains polnta at every
turn by doing the unexpected.

In several Instances that laborers arrestod
for trespassing while on their way to

Jobs, because of a day and night's lodg

Cases of this kind date back several
months Into the old South Omaha ad
ministration and have given rise to more
or less dissatisfaction among members of
the department. The policy of fining
all men arrested on such charges, is
partly blamed for the existing conditions.
Of late weeks complaints have come
from uptown county officials 'to the ef
fect that the county haa been handling
too many euch caaea lately.
The police believe that warning
foreign-born laborers, who trespass on
railroad property. Ignorant of the law,
would be far better than throwing an
added expense on the city or county In
keeping them lodged In Jail or out ot
their Jobs.

assault and battery, because of a cutting
scrape that culminated from an argument
over a board bill last evening at S o'clock
at Twenty-fourth and S streets. Monda
admitted, after long questioning at tha

Meravlck In the back with a knife. Dr.
K. H. Shanahan, who attended the
wounded man. said that Meravlck was
suffering from profuse Internal bleeding
In the left lung, and had little chance
of recovery.
Monda aald that when Meravlck and
hlmaelf and hla partner had failed to
agree on an alleged "board bill." a fight
bad followed In which he had drawn a
knife and atabbed Meravlck In the back.
At a late hour last evening hospital

A LIST of Chalmers SLx-48xowiwrrt"n5jk!s" He the Bloc Book
of New York, or Boston, or Philadelphia, or Chicago.
Nearly half of all of this Model sold were bought in these four cities.
Of course many of them were sold to discriminating motorists in all parts
of the country because this car gave the highest quality and greatest value
for anywhere near the price.
But literally thousands of additional cars were bought by people wi could
afford to pay and P"ce for their car.
Never Out of Commission
The thousands were more interested in
the fact that the car always answered the
rofl call tor service seven days in each week
and each week cef every month than they
were in the fact that this also meant free
dom from expense at the garage- or the,
repair shop.
These thousands were more interested in
tie fact that the ear was light enough to
respond like a tiicevugh-kred to the fleck of
the whip than in the fact that it wee also
econrimkal of gas tad oil and tores.
These thousands were quite as nsach
interested in the fact that it was made
strong enough to "ride tight" on bad
roads and still "stay put." as in the fact
that protection was there in case of mtsftap.
Unexcelled Style and Beauty
Many of these thnusendj particularhr
wwutn bought the car solely because it
was a more beautiful ear than they could
get for the $4030 or $3000 they ware willing
to pay.
They were tsrjaJJs to find the same '
oWfally artistic Moulded fenders in any
ether car at emg price.
They were not able to fmd more aftrao
tivt flowing fines, beautiful upholstery, rich
color and quaisty of body finish, or such
samart effect, as the red wftcel for tartance.
They couldn't find more inbuih inherent

How WtTCan Cut $375
And yet the question must be a natarss!
one to yoa Then why did you cut the
price?'
Some motor car manufacturers cut prices
m order to get rid of a car that won t sail
n its quality merits,
We can cut the price on all of our cars
because we are cutting down the cost of
manufacture by a production nearly four
times as larye as ever before, by new Ubor
saring coat-reducing machinery.
, We can cut more on the Six-48 than on
the general Cne, because in addition to
these general seringa, we are able to include
special saving because it is not a new
model, hence, free from new tool and exper
fcmmtal expense.
Best Motor Car Value Today
The same excellencies for which the
thousand in Boston, New York. Phila
delphia and Chicago selected this car,
ngnrdleie of the price ere in the
Chalmers Six-48 today, plus many others.
For it is exactly the same model struc
tnratty with addoa refinements in finish and
equipment.
And yet you can buy the ear today for
$1550-they paid $1725 and $1925.
We believe that a car which appeals to
the strictest ccsanotesevirs of style and
beauty sa America and fulfills the utmost
demands of the most money-wise motorists
entitles us to claim that it is the best motor
