Investigation into the sinking will j
be made at once to determine the
status of the boat and nature of the
attack so as to ascertain whether any
of Germany's pledges to the United
States have been violated.
The report on the destruction of
the Marina refers to the Marina as a
Hritish horse transport. If it is
proved that she was in the transport
service of the Hritish government, the
mixed crew of Hritish and Americans
could claim no rights such as they
would have had on a merchant ves-
sel.

The controversy between the Shaw-

car men, pending for several days,
seems on a fair way to settlement.
At least it is statwl thai the com-
pany has acceded to most of the de-

I The car men's union, however, ex*

afternoon. Inasmuch as Manager Wed-
jdle had not acceded to their demands
I for two men to man each car except

I the position that the whole controv-
ersy should be submitted to arhit.ii-

1 Valiiuhlc pointers prhen on how to
reduce the high cost of living.
Mrs Bertha Wileoek, who has been
, engaged to conduct the fret* coking
school at Convention Hall this week,
arrived in Shawnee Sunday evening.
, Because of the lateness of her arrival,
she il elded to postpone the opening
| of the school until Tuesday afternoon,
and to continue it through Saturday.
Reports of Mrs. Wileoek's work at
: Oklahoma City, In Kansas City, (Juth-
. tie. Knld and elsewhere indicate that
the schools she has been conducting
have le en tremendous successes. Her
work Is especially timely now, when
| 11 kinds of food is high, and her spec-
ial effort Is to show housewives how
the cost of living may be reduced,
and at the same time, the table fur-
nished with just as tempting meals
as over before.
While Mrs Wileoek is an expert on
practical cooking and will devote the
most of her time to practical home
economics, she is alto a recognized
authority on fancy cooking and for-
eign cooking, and will demonstrate
such upon request. To add Interest
to the sessions of the school here,
she will each afternoon give away
three cakes.
This school Is being given by the
News-Herald and the Shawnee mer-
chants for the benefit of the women
of Shawnee at absolutely no cost to
them, and they are urged to attend.
There is plenty of room for all, and
all are invited.
Remember, tin* school opens at
< .invention Hall Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. Attend the first session
so you won't miss any of the series
of lectures and demonstrations.
ai.ide by the decision in case it went
against them. "We got together on
everything asked for by the union ex-
cept the demand for two men
on all (ars except Park Street."
said Mr. Weddle. "As for the Interur-
ban we expect always to need two
men on that." So the only difference
Is the requirement for two men on
Fast Main-North Broadway line. It
would be extremely embarrassing to
me to grant that. The traffic is In-
creasing in Shawnee to such an ex-
t' nt that soon we shall probably want
to put on some now cars, for an ex-
ample 1.1 minute service for morning,
noon and evening hours at least. Prob-
ably the board of directors will order
light, one-man cars, just like they use
in all the other small cities. Then that
would place me in a predicament,
igncd up for two-man cars."
