FIRST STATEMENT
ISSUEDBY MAUPIH
Head of Publicity Bureau Tells
What tho Conservation
Commission Will
Not Do.
(From a Ctaff Correspondent.)
Lincoln. Aug. 14. (Special.) Will
M. Maupin, recently "appointed to the
head of the publicity department, this
morning issued his first "official dcru
raentr' '"'
"It is a little bit early to talk about
what the new pulbicity department of
the conservation and welfare commis
sion is going to do or hopes to do.
It is easier to tell one of the things
that it is not going to do. One of
them is that it is not going to help
real estate dealers sell their real es
tate: nor is it going to make an effort
to help Nebraska fanners sell their
f irms to other Nebraska farmers-who
already own farms. It will not be a
real estate exchange. If it can help
to locate landless men upon unculti
vated Nebraska land it will do so. and,
in, fact, will make every possible ef
fort to do that very thing.
"I take it that the purpose of the
department is to advertise the re
sources and possibilities of Nebraska
to the end that men and capital be in
terested in the development of Ne
braska'sNuncultivated lands and indus
trial possibilities. In a short time the
commission will have a meeting for
the purpose of discussing and out
lining plans for the publicity bureau's
activities. Right ' now, I am fairly
busy getting ready to perform what
ever work the governor and the com
mission jees fit to assign to me. If
by its activities this bureau can in
terest industrious men to the end that
an appreciable amount of now idle
but fertile Nebraska land is made pro
ductive or can interest capital in the
development of a few industries that
will utilize our raw products, then it
will have served a goodly part of its
real purpose."

Norway Authorities Take
Action Against Plotters
Christiania, Norway, Aug. 14. In
vestigation' of the conspiracy having
for, an object the sinking with Ger
man bombs of a number of Nor
wegian ships has been completed, ac
cording to the Tidenstegn, and action
taken againsj; seven 'inlanders and
two Germans.
They are accused of having trans
ported many explosives from Ger
many to Norway and stored them
at three places in Christiania. The ac
cused were paid by the German
espionage headquarters at Stockholm.
.
Christiania dispatches recently said
that the leader of those arrested call
ed himself Baron von Rautenfels. It
is doubted whether he really is a
baron. According to the Tidenstegn,
1,000 kilograms of explosives were
seized, including a number of in
fernal machines. These were enclosed
in cases resembling lumps of coal
and were to have been put in the coal
bunkers aboard Norwegian ships. The
newspaper .said the discovery of the
plot probamly explains the loss of
many Norwegian ships which were
supposed to have been mined or tor
pedoed. Condemned Sinn Feiner

GERMAN INFLUENCE
FELTJN MEXICO
Pro-German Generals and
Agents Likely to Be Ousted
by President Carran-
za's Order. ,
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 14. Mexican
General Francisco MurguiYs recent
visit to Juarez with the German con
sul at Chihuahua City and a party of
prominent Germans as his guests is
expected to result in a complete
change in the military and civil of
ficials of Chihuahua according to a
reliable American mining man from
Mexico.
The apparently pro-German atti
tude of General Murguia and the of
ficials of Chihuahua state as called
to the attention of high Mexican of
ficials of Mexico City, if not lo Presi
dent Carratua himself by the visit ot
Murguia and his German friends, the
mining man said.
While in Juarez, General Murguia
was aked by a representative of the
Associated Press for' a statement
about the visit of the Germans. His
answer wag. "the Germans ace very
good people."
Americans Decline Invitation.
The visit of the Mexican and Ger
man party also is known to have
caused friction between Murguia and
the local Juarez officials, who ex
pressed a realization of the unfavor
able effect of such a visit at this time.
Every effort was made to prevent the
visiting Germans from making pro
German speeches and disseminating
their propaganda while in Juarez.
This action was said to have offended
General Murguia. '
The fact that all American trim
officers and officials declined invita
tions to the fiesta in lionor of General
Murguia in Juarez was sent to Mex
ico City, as an indication that the
affair had been considered by the i
Americans as an unfriendly act.
In addition to Murguia and his
btothcr, General Jose Carlos Mur
guia, of Juarez, Governor Arnulfo
Gonzales, the Juarez customs col
lector and other state and federal of
ficials are reported to be slated for
removal or transfer.
