AMERICAN NOTE TO GERMANY
Demands Meet the Approval of

Washington. May 1J—The failed
States Government today cabled Am
bass^dor Gerard for presentation to
the German Government a note call
log attention "to the grave situation
which has resulted" from violation
of American rights on the high seas,
culminating in the sinking of the
Lusitania with a loss of more than
one hundred American lives
The communication expresses con-
fident expectation of the United States
that the Imperial German Govern
merit will disavow the acts of which
the United States Government com-
plains."
In its conclusion the note states
that "the Imperial German Govern-
ment will not expect the Government
of the United State* to omit any
word or any act necessary to the

usual precaution of visit and search
to ascertain whether a suspected mer-

ionality or is in fact carrying con-
traband of war under a neutral flag
Unfairness of Policy.
"The Government of the United
States therefore desires to call the
attention of the Imperial German
Government, with the mm* «t earnest-

to their present method of attack
against the trade of their enemies
lies in the practical impossibility cf

Director of Organization Says
Tour Was Success
Every Way.
"Did the orchestra have a good
time?"
ibis question put to a member of
tnc University orchestra, which re-
turned Sunday from a rive-day tour
embracing the cities of i£l Reno,
Chickasha, Anadarkvj, and Lawton,
has so far met with tiie most emphat
ic "yes."
i nirty-nine men and women parti-
cipated in the trip, tvery where they
were entertained with a hospitality
whin would have done credit to old
v irginia in her best days, every where
tfiey came, played and conquered and
every where without exception, they
were asked to returja next year
Among the most enthusiastic audi
entes wnich greeted the Sooner* was
«t Chickasha, v^here the (J. C. V\
ditorium was packed to hear them,
bach number by the orchestra met
with a veritable storm ol appiause:
and Metta K. Legier, l^aiil S. parpen
ter and Lloyd Curtis, who accompam
ed the orchesta as soloists, met with
nothing short of an ovation.
Ihe director of music at the Worn
en s College at Chickasha in an inter-
view with Dean ilolmberg, said: "1
had expected to hear an amateur or-
ganization, but here is an orcnestra
which, as far as its playing is con-
cerned, is entirely professional.'
Ihe reception oi the orchestra at
Chickasha is a fair example of their
reception every where. Director
Ilolmberg expresses himself as high-
ly gratihed with the results of the
trip both from an aesthetic and a fi-
nancial standpoint, and is well pleas
ed with the performance of the or-
chestra.
The following are those who went
on the trip;

S. Carpenter, concert mastet. First

HE BATTLE OF
«TIRES
*Dd Commfcrcii! Prew S<?rvic«]
It Is Interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the Iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
"let but the results are more far-
reaching to present and future gen-
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim
portant positions in traffic, but it ha*
now pitched a decisive battle with
ts Iron competitor by hurling a mi]
Hon "Jitneys" at the street railways f<
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of th*
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wini
the battle it will revolutionize th«
transportation methods of this nation
If the rubber tire conquers th€
street traffic its next struggle is witfc
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face1
of this earth is on, for iron is the un
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions of dollars
and millions of men.
8tephenson applied the steel tire
to an Iron rail in 1814. but it was 186S
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands ol
•teel. It took the Iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean
but the rubber tire while warm froir
the creative mind of the inventivs
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow .hot from the bow of Ulya
es. The roadbed was already pre
pared and therein lies the power oi
the rubber tire over that of iron, fot
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
lron 18 a stubborn metal anc!
it has mastered every wheel thai
turns; has fought battles with ever?
element pbove and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch ol
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov
ery.
The rubber tire first made its ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolouB servant and was dismissed
for Incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken aeriously as a utility ma-
chine and Its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft into
dreamland, It Is enchanting to note
