FOR GERMANY
Fatherland Ready to Ratify Knox
Peace Plans If One Con-
cession Is Made
MUST HAVE LOOPHOLE.
UNCLE SAM PROVIDES
United States Not Bound Till Sem

Germany Will Be Willing to
Sign If Granted Privilege

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--The re-
ply of Germany to the proposition for
general arbitration treaty with the
United States was presented to the
state department today by Ambassa-
dor Count VonBtrnstorff. 1t is under
stood to be distinctly favorable to the
principles laid down by Secretary
Knox All previous efforts to nego-
tate an arbitration treaty with Ger
many have failed because of the nee
essity to refer the question to the
senate in each case in controversy. 1t
was claimed that such a treaty would
bind Germany arbitrarily to arbitrate
while the United States was bound
only on condition of the senates APP
prevail.
1t is understood that Germans OBJ
lection on this score will be met
with a clause providing that disputes
shall be arbitrated under special
agreements in each case and these
special agreements shall be binding
only when confirmed by the two gov
ernment's by exchange of notes.
The senate's threat to modify the
pending treaties with Great Britain
and France found echo in the house
today when Representative Barthldt
made plea for international peace,
denouncing the upper body's opposi-
ton to the convention. He said the
big stick philosopher of oyster Bay
wanted to leave the door open for war
President Taft has about decided
not to press the senate to ratify the
arbitration treaties at the special SEES

PRECEDING PLANT
HAS Been SUCCESS
Puyallup Growers Find Scheme
Works Well-Will Extend 1t
for Next Season

PUYALLUP, Aug. 14.-Results OBJ
tanned from the preceding plant
have proven so satisfactory that the
Association is now endeavoring to ar
range to have the government again
favor us with the plant next year tc
go clear through the season of both
red raspberries and blackberries. Ar
angements were made this year fol
raspberries only, so that we cannot
have the advantage of the pre- cooling
plant on the blackberries. But, judg-
ing from present indications, no Sc
rious difficulty will be found in get
ting the preceding plant located
here next year for a sixty to ninety
days run.
The governments representatives
in charge of the preceding plant
have been handicapped seriously
during the present season by lack OF
capacity in the gasoline engine, but
by a united effort on the part of the
Fruit Growers Association and the
local officials the government has
been induced to discard the present
engine and purchase one of larger
and more modern type, so that this
difficulty will be overcome.

Acres the Total Result

Tales of hard luck for some dis
tricts in the Northwest come in a let
ter to Deputy County Clerk Roy King.
from his wife, who has been spend
ing the summer with her parents in
Stevens county. Minnesota. and who
will return next Saturday.
AS an illustration fthe destructive
effects of the hot weather which
shriveled the grain, the grasshoppers
that ate it and the rain which came
at harvest time, Mrs. King writes Of
one farmer who cut and threshed 100
acres of wheat and only had returns
of total of 80 bushels. 1t is feared
that farmers in Minnesota and the
Dakotas will have hard winter be-
cause of the crop failure in those
states. so Mrs. King writes.
