Washington Administration thought
viii Yield to Canan1a's Views

Washington, D. General Car
ranza's counter proposal to the Pan
American diplomats for conference
with him over international phases of
the Mexican problem probably will be
approved, according to opinion ex-
pressed here by officials in touch with
the administration
Although Carranza refused to yield
to the appeal of Secretary Lansing and
representatives of six Latin-American
republics that he join his adversaries
in peace conference, it was pointed
out here that military conditions in
Mexico had undergone marked changes
in the last few weeks, and in some
quarters it was contended that Car
ranzsa's claims foy recognition were
entitled to investigation
Since the Pan-American appeal was
issued, Carranza's armies have pressed
pacification of territory in Central and
Northern Mexico, while some reports
to the State department have declared
that General Villas forces are disin-
tegrating. From authoritative
sources advices have reached Washing
ton that it would be difficult to con-
duct convention to select a provis-
ional government in Mexico without
the participation of Carranza and his
military commanders, who assert now
that they control nearly all Mexican
territory.

He Knew Right Enough

The famous botanist was pacing
slowly along the country road his
eyes, as usual. roaming from side TO
side for new plants to study
Suddenly an eager look swept across
his features. and he leaned over the
low fence enclosing a cottage garden
He had found a plant he did not know
What could it be- II only he had q
specimen of il to study,
At that moment a shock-headed lad
strolled along the road and stopped
to gaze open-mouthed at him
Il say called the bOtanist urgent
". See that plant there-that pale
pink one in the eoruer2 Do you know
itg"
-Uhuhl" said the country boy brief
ly-
What's its name. Do you know
what family it belongs to-"
The lad jerked grubby thumb over
his shoulder toward the little cottage,
as he spoke more briefly still:
-Higginses,"

New Melon on Market.

Tacoma-Another variety of melon
arrived on the local produce market
and is expected to step into line with
the popular cantaloupes and water
melons. This is the casaba from Cali
fornia- In the last several years it
has found an instant market here.
Wholesale dealers ask 2 cents a pound.
Reports from the South say the quality
is excellent and the crop large.
Although the stiff advance taken in
egg prices last week was expected to
keep the market steady here for some
time, an added scarcity of this COM
modify has caused dealers to boost
prices to 33@34 cents q dozen for the
fresh ranch product.
Huckleberries are getting scarcer
and prices are higher, the berries now
demanding 5 cents pound The de-
mand this season was brisk
The fish market is well supplied
with halibut and salmon and small
fish, The demand is good Butter
and cheese are steady No change was
made in meat and poultry prices.

German Minister al Washington
Will Clean House.
WILL ASK SAFE CONDUCT FOR AGENT
Act Of Embassy Believed Will Show
Genuine Desire of Teutons for
Friendship of Uncle Sam.

Washington, d. c. - These highly
important developments took place
Monday in connection with the events
consequent upon the revelations in the
Dumba case:
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, will call on Secretary
Lansing and will intimate that Cap
tain Franz Won Papen, German mill
tary attache, will be sent home, If a
safe conduct for him can be obtained
from the British government
Ambassador Penfeld has cabled his
personal impression that Austria-
Hungary will comply with the Ameri-
can request for the recall of DIR. Dunn
ba, leaving her interests here in
charge Of the counsellor of the en-
bassy.
Count Won Bernstorf will explain
the exact connection Of Captain Won
Papen with the Dumba strike plans
There is no question that the ambassa-
dor feels that members of his staff
should have no connection with strikes
OF the creation Of disorders in indus
trial factories. He does hold, how
ever, that Germany, as well as Aus
tria- Hungary, has the right to warn
her subjects that employment in fac
tories making munitions for the allies
is a crime against the laws of their
country and that if they should return
home they will be punished.
Germany, it is pointed out in Ger
man circles, had the right to call home
all reservists in the United States.
She was unable to exercise this right
because of the British command of the
sea and they have been forced to re-
main in this country The right to
tell these men that they must not work
for the allies the German ambassador
holds to be as sound as the right to tel
them to return to fight
However, it is apparent that the
ambassador has no intention to make
an issue in respect to Captain Won Pa
pen II this government will obtair
safe conduct for the officer he viii
be ordered to Berlin Such actor
would obviate demand for his recall
1t would do more 1t would show con
clusively the desire of Germany to re
main in friendly relations with thi!
country. 1t would also mean that the
Dumba incident with Austria Hungary
will, in the end, be adjusted satisfac-
torily to the United States

GENERAL FEDERATION
HjO|NORS mrs. WHITE

North Dakota Patriot: The state
of North Dakota, has recently placed
Mrs. Frank Whites name on the foun.
ders list Of the General Federation Of
Women's clubs. Each state giving
$500 for the endowment fund can so
honor whom they choose. Mrs. White
was the first from North Dakota to
become one Of the members Of the
General Federation board, and ranked
as one Of the most capable and ener.
getic workers. For some time she has
been on the membership committee Of
the General Federation and previous
to this she was auditor. In the state
Of North Dakota no woman ranks
equal for the work she has done, being
really the mother of club work in the
state, having been its president for
four years. No woman is more en-
titled to this honor. In recognition of
this fact Mrs. Whites name has been
placed on the Founders list.

HE. WASN'T In
With THE CROWD

Some inside information regarding
the workings Of the last legislature
and the effect a stand-in with the
crowd may have on business is begin
ming to leak out. The Fargo Courier
News on Sunday told the reason why.
Ployhar's gas franchise at Bismarck
was couched in terms which made it
valueless to Mr.. Ployhar.
Some people think it another case
of politics, as Ployhar was member
OF the legislature There were num-
Der of measures over which there was
hot fight and it was intimated TO-
Ployhar according to rumor, that If
he voted right the franchise would be
forthcoming.
After the legislature the Bismarck
dads got busy. Among these is AL
Patterson, the proprietor OF the Nc
Kenzie hotel and of the old Mckenzie
crowd
Ployhar was granted his franchise,
but it was so thoroughly amended that
he considers it a joke. He has writ~
ten turning the proposition down.
Ployhar has made a success of the
Valley City gas works and wants
franchise, but declares that he will
not take one on the terms offered by
the politicians of Bismarck. All that
he wants is a respectable show" in
| his own words.
