ILL PAY DAMAGES ' GERMANY PROMISES INDEMNITY FOR GULFLIGHT HURT. UNAWARE IT WAS AMERICAN Captain of Submarine, It Is Said, Saw No Distinctive Markings Carried By Neutral Ships. Washington, D. C.—Germany, in a note cabled to the State department by Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, ex presses regrets that through “an un fortunate accident” a German subma rine had torpedoed the American steamship Gulflight and declared it self "ready to furnish full recompense for the damage thereby sustained by American citizens." In the same com munication the German foreign office said it had not yet been possible to clear up fully the case of the Amer ican steamer Cushing, reported at tacked by a German aeroplane and asked that the United States commun icate information in its possession concerning this incident. Blame for attack on the Gulflight was placed by the foreign office upon the proximity of two British patrol boats and the absence from the steamer's freeboard of the distinctive markings usually carried by neutral ships in the war zone. “That the attacked steamer carried the American flag.” the note added, “was first observed at the mo ment of firing the shot.” The Gulf light was torpedoed in the English channel five weeks ago while bound front Port Arthur, Tex., for Rouen, Prance, with oil. She was towed to Crows Sound and beached for re pairs. Two seamen were drowned when the crew took to the' boats im mediately after the attack and the captain died of heart trouble the next day. The expression of regrets and offer of reparation in the note follows the principle outlined in the circular recently sent to neutral nations by Germany disclaiming any intention of attacking neutral vessels carrying , non-contraband cargoes. Carranza Expects Recognition. Vera Cruz, Mex.—“Appreciative, j friendly and serene,” such is the tone of General Carranza's reply to Presi dent Wilson’s note. After carefully considering the note.

As the note has been read more and more by Car ranza officials and members of his cabinet, it has created a feeling that President Wilson intended no har-!i action toward Mexico. A distinct feeling prevails that it more definite attitude at Washington will result in hastening a solution of the Mexican problem without foreign aid. How this is to be done nobody professes to know except General Car ranza himself and he expresses the mm:ion that his intended reoccupa tion of Mexico City soon will place tlie constitutionalists in a better posi tion to be recognized by the Wash ington government.

Lincoln.—Binding twine is subject to tlie “branding"’ provisions of the state law. according to a discovery made in preparing a compilation of weights and measures statutes The law. which was passed some time ago. and by an act of 1913 made operative under the eye of tlie state weights and measures commissioner, compels those selling or offering binding twine for sale to indicate on each hall the name of the manufacturer, the number of feet to tlie pound, the material of which it is made, and the tensile strength, tlie percentage of oil. in it, and the date of manufacture. The big twine companies have been conforming to tlie law, but there is a belief that companies which sell the farmers" unions and which compete with local implement men, have not been doing so. The matter is to be taken up at once by Commissioner Ilarman, and if the companies have not been meeting the provision he will see that they do. He lias issued a wholesale invitation to people of the state to furnish information re garding this matter. Sale of each ball of twine, contrary to the provis ions of this newly-discovered law, means a tine of 25 cents. There is no limit to the amount that may be lev ied against those who fracture this statute. Many Passed Away.

All fanners’ institutes are to be cut down to one-day sessions and but two speakers will be furnished by the state. This action on the part of the Agricultural Extension Serv ice is made necessary owing to a lack of funds. The decision does not come as a surprise to those familiar with the work, inasmuch as the re port of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska laid before the last legislature, read in part: ‘'If the amount given two years ago for agricultural extension in Ne braska. including farmers' institutes, is not increased, it will be necessary to drop part of the work of the far mers' institutes.” The legislature did not increase the amount.
