AMER|CAN. STEAMER
 SUNK BY GERMANS
THE EPISODE HAS CREATED WIDESPREAD DISCUSSION
 IN ENGLAND.
CONTRABAND WAS ON BOARD
This Fact, It Is Declared, Did Not Justify the Destruction of the
 Vessel.

Washington.-Destru of the American ship Leelanaw by German submarine drew sharply to the atten- tion of the United States government the fact that Germany was insisting on her own interpretation of the Prus- sian-American treaty of 1928 in disre- garding two American notes on the subject.
 In three instances of American ships destroyed or damaged, the Gulflight. the Nebraskan and the William P. Frye. Germany has agreed to pay dam ages and in the last case the Berlin government took the position that it had not violated the treaty of 1928, but had exercised a right given her by inference from the language of the past
 Officials of the Washington govern ment were surprised at the destruc- ton of the Leelanaw. but beyond add ing an aggravating incident to the ai- ready strained relations between the two governments, there was no indica- ton that the case would lead to new turn in the general situation.
 The fact that the crew of the vessel was saved caused feeling of relief iE official quarters, but there were evil dences of apprehension if Germany continues to promise payment, yet de- stroys more American ships. new situation might be created which would require further warning to the Berlin government.
 The fact that the Lealanaw carried a cargo of flax, declared absolute con traband by Germany. does not alter the view of the United States govern ment that the contraband might have been removed and the vessel spared Under the general rules of interna- tional law the destruction of a neutral vessel carrying contraband was not admitted until the famous Knight Commander case in the Russo-Japan- csc war. The declaration of London in 1909 embodied the principle as ap- plicable in extreme cases but stipulat- ed that passengers and crew must bs transferred to a place of safety and the case itself later sent to a prize court for determination as to the legal ity of the act

Whether the revenue to come into the state treasury in the next 20 days will be sufficient to take up all out standing state warrants is question now confronting state officials. It had been thought when all county collec- tors had settled and all franchise tax collected there would be balance of approximately s100,000 in the treasury after all warrants were taken up. An official check was made of the settle ments, and this showed that While more than half of the counties have settled the amount of outstanding war, rants has not been reduced onehaif. A few weeks ago the outstanding war rants amounted to S76S,000, the high est in many years.
 The reason the amount does not de crease faster despite the large amounts paid in is that more are being con- stantly issued to provide for the TUT ming expenses of the state government and institutions; S32.2S9.S4 was paid into the treasury from four county col lections and fronchise tax But $14 905.14 in warrants was issued. and thus the amount of outstanding war rants reduced only s17.3S4.70, in spite of the four settlements. Two of the largest counties in the state have still to settle with the state treasury. Pr- 1aski County is expected to pay in ap proximately sS0,000 to the general revenue fund and Sebastian County 435,000.

Suit to restrain County Judge T. W. Storey from paving out money on ac- counts made under the provisions of Act No 8. the Publicity Act, has been brought in the Stone County Char- cery Court by Senator W. O. Edmond son. The petition alleges the Quorum Court of the county has made no ale lowanee for the payment of money under the act. Senator Edmondson has been active in movements against the publicity act, which became law by initiative petition in 1914. During the last session of the legislature he introduced one bill to abolish the act che to submit the measure to a vote Of the people and one to amend it by re- quiring the publication made under it. The amendment carried. The bill to repeal the law failed to pass in the Senate and the bill for resubmissioh died in the house.

Recently the board for the Linn-Auburn district announced it intends to build levee that will biseet the farm and leave more than 5000 acres in a basin with out drainage. Last week the directors of the Long Lake Drainage District called on the commission to complete its part of 5000 worth of labor 1t was to perform for the district. The commission has hesitated to comply. because, should the Lfnn-Auburn dis trict be allowed to continue it's plans, the state will receive no benefits from the Long Lake District.
 The Big Lake Levee Board proposes to dredge a large ditch that would drain Big Lake and part of the state farm. To pay the states share ct the cost, the commission agreed to fur nish the labor to clear the land, where the ditch is to be dug. Work on the ditch already has been started.
 The commission is making efforts to arbitrate the Linn-Auburn levee mat ter An engineer will be taken to the state farm next week in an effort to convince the Levee Board that leyee can be built without rendering useless half of the state farm.
