HOLD HORSES TO ASSURE
PAY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED
Farms of Germans in Illinois Over
run by Animals Collected for
Britain and France.

ALTON, Ill, June 12.-About 700
British and French war horses, part
of a herd of several thousand which
escaped from stockade here in an
electrical storm Thursday night, were
held for ransom by German farmers
whose lands they overran and dam
|aged.
Rumors that German sympathizers
caused the 1O0-foot breach in the
stockade wall through which the
animals escaped were discussed but
generally were discredited.
Demand Compensation.
The farmers who rounded up small
herds of the stampeded horses de-
clared they would refuse to surrender
the animals until assured by agents
of the British and French governments
they would be compensated for the
damage caused by the horses and for
the expense incurred in corralling
them.
Four hundred horses were returned to
the stockade after a roundup extend
ing through the streets of Alton, Ben
bow City and Woodriver. More than a
score of horses were killed by trains
during the night, and about an equal
number died as the result of eating
green corn and wheat in the fields.
More than a thousand horses stlli
were at large.

Copies Made of Note.

Immediately upon the receipt of the
American note, which reached Ambas-
sador Gerard last night and was
decoded by the embassy staff early this
morning and delivered at the foreign
office at 1:10 pm. today, Herr vor
Jagow. the foreign minister, had
copies of it made for the chancellor
headquarters and the admiralty Herr
Won Jagow asked to be excused from
any comment on the note until the
various officials directly concerned had
an opportunity to familiarize them
selves with it's contents.
1t has been learned that the edi-
torial printed Thursday by the Lokal
Anzeiger concerning the resignation
of Secretary Bryan and the situation
between the United States and Ger
many was due to private initiative
and was not inspired by the govern
ment. The editorial declared that it
might easily be believed that honora :
BILE and unprejudiced negotiations be-
tween the United States and Germany
might lead to an understanding be-
tween them. 1t added that it was be-
lieved the note to Germany would con-
tain the basis for such negotiations.
and that this basis can be built upon
with the good will Of the parties con-

Comparison of Premiers.

AMSTERDAM, via London, June Il
A dispatch from Berlin to the Kol-
nische Volk kszeitung. a copy of which
has been received here, says:
without doubt Mr.. Lansing, in com
parison with Mr. Bryan, is man of
very sharp tone, but the German press
will do well not to inquire too anX-
iously whether he is a man of sharp
or of peaceful tone.
Our submarine war will not cease on
that account. If American ships or
Americans in British ships enter the
war zone they must despite Mr.. Lans
ing and President Wilson. take the risk
involved in such a voyage. America
can claim the right to judge neutrals'
rights only when she herself maintains
neutrality. Such was not the case
under the pacific Mr.. Bryan, and prob
ably will be just as little the case
under the international law expert,
