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. General Oarran
za concluded that it contains nothing
other than hopefulness for the con
stitutionalist causp. 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.
Five Die in Storms.
Kansas City, Mo.—At least five per
sons were killed and a score more in
jured by destructive storms which
recently swept western and north
western Kansas. Four men were
drowned when a handcar went into a
v a-hoot caused by the Solomon river,
east of Morland. A tornado which
struck Leoti caused one death and
tlie serious injury of a number of
persons. Eight more persons were
injured in a tornado which swept
across Barton, Russell and Osborne
counties.

Omaha -According to reports Ralph
I)e Palma, who won the 500-mile race

1ST BUD TWINE
FOOD COMMISSIONER BELIEVES
LAW IS BEING VIOLATED.
■ I
WILL FINE GUILTY COMPANIES
People of State Are Invited to Fur
nish All Obtainable Information
Regarding This Matter.
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.
Death's onslaught on the ranks
of the Grand Army of the repub
lic in this state during the past
decade has taken away 1,343 of the
hoys who fought for their country
during the days of '61 to ’65.
The nxt ten years will likely see
a greater dcrea.se in the numbers,
and at the end of the period there
will probably be only a few of the
3,454 members left. The record in the
state offices here shows a decrease
of twenty-five posts in the state dur
ing the ten years.
The average age of Nebraska
Grand Army veterans is 75 years,
and many of the old boys are pos
sessed of infirmities which are slowly
bringing them to the edge of life.
In 1905 there were 210 Grand Army
posts in the state and now there are
hut 185. The total membership was
4.797 ten years ago, and 3,454 at the
present time,
j
Farmers' Institutes Limited.
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.
Seven Fairs to Get Exhibit.
Six county fairs and the state fair,
of the thirty associations making ap
plication, will receive the exhibit of
the College aud University School of
Agriculture and the Agricultural Ex
periment station tiiis fall. The coun
ty fairs to obtain the exhibit are
those of Hamilton. Pawnee, Platte.
Webster. Nemaha and Jefferson coun

associations applying hold their fa rs
the same week this year, about half
the total number of applications had
to be eliminated. No fair that re
