The announce, ment of an alleged secret agreement between England and Japn, in which the former country in pledged to support Japan in the fvtnl of a war with America, was-made here today by the Deutsche Zsrtung, which claims to have received the facts from a well-informed Ameri can source. 1 The German paper, . after telling how the firm opposition of Australia and Canada compelled the English government to amend the terns of the alliance, pledging neutra". ty in the event of a Japanese-American war, then claims that the Japanese dissatisfaction resulted in a secret agreement, which while it dots not obligate England to join the war, pledges the Britiii to render aid under cover in two ways. The first step calls for the destruc tion of the Panama canal, making it impassable for the American fleet, and the instigation of disorders m Mexico, Panama and Colombia di rected against the United States. The second form of assistance is the crea tion of revolutionary propaganda as an obstacle to efficient war prepara tions in the United States. - At the same time, under the al leged treaty, England's financial pow er is to be organized to co-operate witfc German industry to secure con trol of the markets of South America and China and -to shut out America from Russia. ; ,',' ?. : '; Antelope County s Fair -v - Extended for Day, Due to Bad Weather Neilgh, Neb.,, Sept, J6.

Opening Not Closed. It is pointed out that Mr. Lloyd Georue's reply to Eamonn De Val cra Irish republican leader, left an opening for the continuation of the discussions after the cabinet had de cided what should be done, but the preponderance of opinion here is that there can he no further con- , cessions by England.
