COMMUNICATION FROM GERMAN
GOVERNMENT WILL BE EN.
T1RELY SATISFACTORY
TO UNCLE SAM

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson has been informed unof-
ficially from sources close to Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador, that the next communication
from Berlin on the sinking Of the big
White Star liner Arabic will be of a
character satisfactory to the United
States.
Coming close on the telegram which
the ambassador forwarded to the state
department yesterday by direction of
his government, declaring il was not
the intention Of Germany that any
American lives should be sacrificed in
the sinking Of the ship. this develop
ment was regarded as indicating that
Germany would make some proposal
satisfactory to the United States re-
specting submarine attack on vessels
purely Of a passenger carrying ma
ture.
Officials are at loss to conjecture
what the German government will pro
pose, but the assurances that there Is
every desire in Berlin to avoid break
with the United States has relieved
the situation very much.
Heretofore Germany has contended
that neutral lives could not insure a
beligerent ship against attack, espec-
tally those carrying munitions. In its
reply to the first Lusitania note, Ger
many proposed to designate certain
ships which would be guaranteed
against attack, but the American gov
ernment flatly rejected that proposal.
Officials were eager to know what po-
sition Germany would now take with
out surrendering her contended right
to wage warfare against enemy COM
merce. The desire Of President Viii.
son and all officials TO avoid rupture
with Germany, but to do so without
any surrender Of rights, for which the
United States has been contending in
the name Of internal law and humanity
was reflected by officials informally
while discussing this latest phase Of
the situation. They were hopeful that
disavowal Of the submarine COM
mander's act in sinking the Arabic
without warning would be forthcom-
ing, but the administration is ready
to listen to Berlin's next word.

Alfred Johnson, q hobo or bum, and
supposed TO be a white man, was cap
tured in Logan this week where he
broke into house and stole something
to eat, also some clothing. He was
in company with two negroes but when
he went into the house he was alone.
After leaving the house he met the
negroes and gave one of them key
telling him to go back to the house
and get him suit of clothes which
he saw while in the house.
The negroes became afraid they
would be suspected of the crime and
went straightway to the city officials
and told all they knew concerning the
case. The man was then arrested and
taken before Justice Jones, found gull
ty and held to await the action of the
grand jury. He was brought to Tu-
cumcari by Deputy Woodland and turn
ed over TO Mr.. Winter for safe-keeping

QUAY COUNTY EXPERIMENT
FARM MAKES BIG HIT WITH
THE STATE FAIR OFFICIALS

the efforts Of State Senator Alldredge
and now leased to the agricultural de-
partment for period of ninety mine
years. II is directly under the super
vision of the state college authorities.
and Is turning out magnificent fund
of practical information of direct use
TO farmers new and old who are max
ing the desert bloom in these parts.
Corn like the black land belt of cen
tral Illinois; Sudan grass yielding un-
believable crops; cotton, watermelons,
cowpeas, feterita, German squirrel, ev-
cry variety Of forage crop and dryland
alfalfa yielding two tons to the acre
this season; these are "a few Of the
seventy-five varieties growing on this
model farm; varieties which make the
celebrated ffty-seven look puny. The
farm has about $4,000 worth Of ce-
ment buildings with the most modern
patterns in farm equipment, silos and
machinery.
Yet fine as is the showing made by
this government farm, about which
so few New Mexicans know, il Is no
better than the showing made by hun
dreds Of the dry farms of Quay coun-
ty this season. There Is no more hard
luck farming in this section. II is
as modern as up-to-date and as eff
cient as any farming in the nation !;
and this year at least it is just about
as profitable as any farmers could
wish for.
