Beaumont. Tex. —"I could hardly
■stand on my feet: had given up hopes
as I thought my health was gone. My
feet were so swollen 1 could not get
my shoes on. After using VitaMtas I
How walk around and am relieved
of my rheumatism. It is the greatest
relief I ever got."—Mrs. D. E. Mar-
ble. 2509 Cable St.
Palestine Texas. —"I think Vitali-
Jas the best remedy and know it is
'the best medicine to take. My stom-
ach was bad. I lost flesh became
pale thin and grew steadily weaker.
Vitalitas quickly and surely destroyed
the cause of disease and rendered ala
to Nature in bringing about complete
recovery."—Mrs. C. Devers.

Barely Half Amount Necessary.
With the station at -the Free Clinic
1219 South I-aredo street opened!
for the free distriouiion of free milk
and i<e to the deserving poor of the
west side the work of this bona fide
charity is now formally launched.
There still is. however much money
needed If the work is -to be carried J

summer. It has been estimated that
it will require approximately $5OO a
month to carry on this work as it
should be done. The total subscrip-
tions received by The Light thus far
amount to $1186.50. Nearly double
this sum will be required if the
work is to be carried through until |

will be raised for The Light s fund j
have been announced. A children’s
matinee will be held Saturday from
10 a. m. until 2 p. m. at the Grand
Opera House. The films arranged for
that day will be “Hiawatha” recog-
nized as a grea* children's reel and a
comedy with Charlie Chaplin as one
of the actors. This Saturday matinee ;
for children between the hours men-
tioned will be a feature at the Grand j
opera House during the summer and!
the proceeds over and above expen-
ses will be devoted to The Light's
milk and ice fund for distribution
through the Free Clinic. ♦
W. J. Lytle manager of the Em-
pire Theater also has agreed to give
a benefit donating the funds raised
over and above actual expenses to
The Light's free milk and ice fund.
Ke has indicated that the best shows
I already arranged for will be “Too-
dles' Baby” which will be shown at

^iext week. In addition the bill for
"hose days will include a two-reel

ture. This last reel will carry the

the most interesting cities of the sis-
ter republics to the south.

U.S. WILL SEND SECOND
NOTE TO GERMANY
(Continued From Page One.)
give no intimation of hie course
many of those familiar with his
previous attitude thought the Amer-
ican rejoinder would be brief and
would demand an early reply.
Failure to meet the American rep-
resentations would. It was freely pre-
dicted result in a severance of diplo-
matic relations.
The pressure for that course has
been great in many quarters since
the sinking of the I.usltania. Some
friends of the president have indi-
cated that he would not hesitate to
adopt it in the event of a final un-
satisfactory answer.
Diplomatic non-Intercourse how-
ever. would not necessarily be fol-
lowed. it was pointed out today by
anv other step unless American
rights were violated flagrantly again.
As the cabinet officers arrived at
the White House none would ex-
press an opinion but all reflected
the gravity of the situation.
Three weeks ago the president's
Lusitania note wa s discussed and
unanimously approved after pro-
longed debate.
A Wide Expression of Views.
In the absence of any prepared
document today a wide expression
of views was expected which the
president it was believed would take
under consideration when the new
note actually is prepared.
The president indicated in his
speech yesterday at Arlington that
he Jioped to have the widest counsel
in the present situation.
While he wants to send a reply
within a day or two to indicate to
Germany the earnest purpose of the
United States to have a prompt un-
derstanding on the important Issues
raised without protracted discus-
sions. he Intends to go over the new
note carefully with Counselor Lans-
ing and legal officers of the gov-
ernment before it is dispatched.
Secretary Redfield was the only
member absent today. Secretary
Houston had hurried here from the
west to be present.
Secretaries Lane. Garrison Dan-
iels. Wilson and Bryan walked to
the White House while Secretary
Houston. Postmaster General Burle-
son and Attorney General Gregory

Bryan was the last to arrive and

MANY QUESTIONS RAISED.
Germany’s Answer to U. S. Impor-
tant Says Westminster Gazette. '
LONDON June I.—" The Ger-
man note In Yeply to the communi-
cation of the United States concern-
ing the Lusitania the text of which
is before us this morning is a docu-
ment of great importance in the evo-
lution of sea law and it raises ques-
tions the substance of which con-
cern us all" says the Westminster
Gazette in an editorial article this
morning.
Continuing the newspaper makes
the point that prior to this war it
was an unquestioned principle that
a belligerent who seized an enemy
merchantman was responsible for
the safety ot non-combatants
whether passengers or crew. In an
extreme case where for his own
safety the belligerent sank the ves-
sel he was under obligation to pro-
vide for the passengers and crew.
“In the early stages ot the war.”
the Westminster Gazette goes on to
say "we saw this obligation honor-
ably acknowledged by the captains
ot the Emden and other German
cruisers.
"The American note stands for
this principle. The German reply
argues that danger from a suspi-
cious craft is reason for the sinking
of a vessel so quickly that her crew
and her passengers are unable to es-
cape.
"Originally Germany said that all
neutrals entering the war zone would
be Hable to destruction; now she
says she has no Intention of attack-
ing neutrals who are not guilty of
hostile acta. It Is evident that what
is at stake is not a question of fact
but a principle; all facts of conse-
quence are admitted in the reply.”
WHAT WILL AMERICA DO?
This Is Question Discussed by the
French Press.
PARIS June 1. —Under the cap-
tion "What Will America Do?” the
French press comments on Ger-
many’s reply to the United States’
note of protest regarding the sinking
of the Lusitania. All papers agree
in characterizing the answer as an-
other German diplomatic "blunder.”
They declare Chancellor von Beth-
mann-Hollweg is endeavoring to
open a controversy to gain time.
The Matin says the imperial chan-
cellor invites the United States to
abandon neutrality by exerting pres-
sure on Graat Britain to induce the
(atter country to give up her block
ade “that Is to say abandon her
naval supremacy” In consideration
of which the German admiralty
would “cease assassinating the pas-
sengers and crews of unarmed
ships."
The Journal believes Germany
notwithstanding the calm modera-
tion of President Wilson and Secre-
tary of State Bryan who have re-
solved not to be forced into anything
precipitate. ^’lll end by exasperating
America.' The paper declares the
president and his secretary of state
are Democratic leaders of a demo-
cratic nation who must follow rather
than than lead public
A MISPLAy-ED JOKE.
French Newapapers Say Answer Is
Abuse of Patience.
PARIS June 1. —Paris afternoon
newspapers commenting on the
German reply to the American note
on the Lusitania unite in recogniz-
ing the gravity of the moment for
the United States. La Patrie says:
“Such a reply awaited by the
United States for so long. Is an abuse
of America*: patience and presents
an unreal basis of discussion. We
do not believe that President Wil-
son. any ny»re than anv of his fel-
low citizens will find this response
other than a misplaced joke.”

DALLAS CLERK DIES
HERO DF AUTO WRECK
Pinned Beneath Truck He
Encouraged Others Until
Death Relieved Him.
DAI.LAS Tex.. June 1 —The death
of Alex McKay. 27. a department
store clerk in the automobile acci-
dent which cost six lives here last
night. It developed today was heroic.
McKay was one of a party of
twenty-five most of whom were pin-
ned beneath an automobile truck
weighing several tons which over-
turned into a shallow ditch while
returning to the city late last night
from an orphan’s home entertain-
ment.
A ^stanchion of the truck pierced
McKay’g left side severing an artery
and pinning him to the ground so
firmly that rescuers ultimately had
to saw the steel rod to free him. He
retained consciousness and during
the long wait for tackle to arrive to
life the great truck off the dead and
injured men women and children
piled upon and around him McKay-
talked calmly to his fellow suffer-
ers. trying to quiet women wfio were
not badly injured but who were hys-
terical.
When rescuers arrived McKay in-
sisted that the women be freed first.
He died a few minutes after he had
been freed. Four of the dead were
drowned In 18 inches of water by tna
weight of bodies above them. Three
of the dead were children.
Of the fourteen Injured all except
one were today reported on the road
to recovery. Physicians said MrsJ
Roscoe Hamilton whose husband
was killed would probably die.
