FOREIGN SECRETARY GREY
EXPLAINS NEUTRALITY
PROPOSAL OF GERMANY

London, Aug. 2S.-AAnswering a
question in the house of commons to-
day Sir Edward Grey the British for
eign secretary, declared he had seen
an incomplete publication by the Ger
man government purporting to con
tain certain proposals alleged to have
been made with the idea of securing
French and British neutrality during.
the war.
The circumstances, Sir Edward
said, were as follows:
1t was reported to him one day
that the German ambassador In Lon
don has suggested that Germany may
remain neutral in a war between
Russia and Austria Hungary II Great
Britain would remain neutral and Sc
cure the neutrality of France. The
foreign secretary replied that this
seemed possible. 1t TRANSFERRED, howev
er that Germany's proposal was that
Great Britain should remain Neutral
and secure the neutrality of France
If Germany went to war with Russia.
This was quite different proposition
the foreign secretary continued, and
in view of Frances alliance with Rus
STA, one which could not be enter
tanned.
AS soon as the misunderstanding
was cleared up the German ambas-
sador sent an explanatory message
to Berlin. saying that the German
telegram had not been published, al
though one based on the initial mis-
understanding had. been given out.

Elaborate Arrangements Made In
England For Caring For
Wounded Soldiers

London, Aug. Spiritually all
the wounded men brought back to
England from the front will be dis

UTAH'S LEGISLATIVE
NEEDS

Under the above caption, the Or.
den Examiner has the following to
say editorially:
Apparently the program of the
Prohibitionists In Utah has been fin
ally determined, the proposal being
to support only those candidates for
the state legislature who openly de.
clare themselves In favor of prohi-
bition. Such program will compel
those voters who are not in favor
OF prohibition to adopt exactly the
same method, supporting only those
v hold to the opposite view and
who believe that there is no real re.
form under prohibitive laws.
Utah would then be thrown into an
out-and-out wet and dry contest, this
phase crowding out everything else
in the campaign, obscuring and over.
shadowing the really important ques-
tions that will confront the legislature
in its approaching session.

time. The recall of comradeship

paign. We need to go through the
election, as a state and people, with
calm judgment, for there is great
deal ahead, the selection OF only those
candidates for office who are compe.
tent, who are trustworthy. They will
have to deal with many grave issues
of the day. They must be depended
upon to pass or change such laws as
are needed for the welfare of the
greater number.
The raising OF an issue which con.
fines all attention to one theme Is
dangerous for the entire state. Such
a plan will not bring the desired re-.
suit of naming the best men for the
legislature.
Far better would be the plan to
select legislators because Of their
caliber and their capacity to do the
really vital work for the entire state
and for its advancement. This will
be better for the people than to be
confined to the simple choise of Sc
lecting legislators merely because
they are for or are against d single
issue. Especially is this true when
the voters have already passed upon
that one issue. It should absolutely
have no place in the campaign, for
It has already been relegated to the
history of the past.

FARM Frs
BEWARE

The farmers of this section are
about to realize on their hard earn
ed annual harvest of wheat oats,
barley, potatoes, fruit and beets. All
Of these crops annually play their
part In contributing to the wealth Of
Cache Valley. At the time the funds
begin to make their return to the
farmers, there is always a swarm Of
stock jobbers and sharpers who take
this valley as field to ply their
trade and In the past have done
much to CLEAN the hard earned dol
lars from the bank accounts Of those
who have reaped a bounteons harvest.
We have on former occasions called
attention to this very important mat.
ter. At this time we again implore
the farmers to make sure Of their
investments Do not take chances
with "air line" railroads, banana
stocks, rubber stocks, coal stocks and
other stocks before first making a
full investigation. There are sugar
propositions than those in foreign
lands which one can invest his means
with safety, which will bring good
returns.

We must give the same care and
consideration to a system OF cooper
alive laws, extending to the farmer
the facilities adapted to his business
that is now afforded corporations.
