Berlin, June 15.-The Lokal An
Leiger prints a noteworthy article on
Ierman-American relations by its
general director, Eugen Zimmerman,
which, coming on the heels of Fri
lays conciliatory article, is taken to
mean that influential representatives
of politics and business are standing
behind the paper, and exerting their
efforts for a German-American under
standing.
president Wilson," says Herr
Zimmerman, desires nothing more
and nothing less than an understand
ing between Germany n England,
concerning the forms of maritime
warfare, which, at the same time, will
insure the safety of American passen-
gers. The task is not light, consider
ing the development of naval warfare,
but it car be solved, If all interests
display good will"
A new form might be given to ma
val warfare, Herr Zimmerman con-
tinues, on the basis that passengers
on ships with special marks of iden-
tification, and sailing under the gov
eminent guarantee that they are I'M
armed, should receive proper consid-
Grafton at the hands of submarine
commanders.
The compromise must also involve
the withdrawal of the British admi-
ralty's instructions to merchantmen,
to attack and ram submarines at
sight.
The article ventures to indicate for
the first time to the German public
that there may be a second side to
the question of arms, on which the
press has been for months harping.
The editor of the Tageblatt, Theo-
dor Wolff, also publishes an article
in favor of a policy aimed at the
avoidance of new conflicts and the
bringing in OF new a~dversaries.
The Nachrichten of Frankfort pro-
poses, as a method for modifying the
hardships of submarine warfare, that
the United States government consent
to the stationing of German commits
sioners in American ports to examine
ships sailing for Europe, so that
those which carry no ornaments, mu-
nitions or troops, may be exempt from
attack by German submarines.

cans" urging them to aid in maintain
ing peace between the United States
and the fatherland. and. by exerting
their influence with the German gov
eminent, to persuade it not to take
any steps hat would lead in the di-
rection of war. With this statement
Mr.. Bryan expects to end for the pres
ent his efforts to lay before the pub
lie the situation which caused him to
resign the portfolio of secretary OF
state. On Wednesday he gave out an
explanation of why he left the cabinet
rather than sign the last American
note to Germany regarding submarine
warfare; Thursday he issued an ap-
peal to the American people" to
stand for persuasion rather than for
force in asserting rights under inter
national law, and yesterday he made
a brief statement expressing gratif1-
cation at what he termed a change OF
tone on the part OF the lingo editors
regarding the note to Germany.
Referring to COMMUNICATIONS as
fellow citizens in whose patriotism
Ii have entire confidence Mr.. Bryan,
besides asking them to use their in
~fluence with the German government,
urged:
That they forget, never to be re-
called, any suspicion of lack of neu-
trality or friendship toward the Ger
man people on the part of the Presi-
dent of the United States.
That they should not attempt to
connect negotiations between the
United States and Germany with
those between the United States and

different"

Rain Will MATURE
CORN, SAY FARMERS
Early Crop Now Certain to Make
Record Yield-Late Corn
Good.

The heavy rain yesterday afternoon
and last night was general all over
Cape Girardeau and Scott Counties,
and came as a relief to an approach
ing drouth.
Corn, especially that growing on
hill land, was badly m need Of rain,
and the fields in the valleys were be-
ginning to show signs of the hot sun.
The rain yesterday was the first of
consequence in thirteen days to fall
upon Cape Girardeau and vicinity, but
the northern part of the county re-
ceivad a good shower Thursday after
noon. Elijah Goodchild, the fruit
grower on the Bend road, was in the
city yesterday and announced that the
rain Thursday put an end to the
drouIh in his section Of the county.
The rain last night will mature all
of the early Germ in this county, farm
ers say, and it will advance most of
the late corn to such an extent that
even a drouth would not prevent it
from producing an average yield.
Tie early rcrn is now out of danger.
1t is going to be a record crop for
Southeast Missouri. There is not a
field in this county that has failed to
grow corn this year. The hail storms
of the early part of the summer did
considerable damage, and in some in
stances fields had to be replante,l.
John Kl0starmann, who has large
farm d few niles from this city, SUI
fered heavy loss by 4 storm in the
latter part OF June. Eighty acres of
excellent corn was ruined by hail. He
ordered the men who ere farming the
land to replant the field, which they
did, and The prospects now are for a
big yield.
Most of the late corn has been laid
by, and some fields are in roasting
ears. Another rain as heavy as the fail
yesterday and last night will place all
late corn beyond the reach of damage
by drouth.

STRUCK BY WORKER
Frisco Foreman Assaulted and
Spectator Faints and Con-
ditiOn is Serious.

Ernest Brinkman, night coach fore
man in the Frisco yards in this city,
was assaulted late yesterday afternoon
by Silas Freeman, a former employe
whom he mad discharged several weeks
ago, and who was again rejected when
he reported fpr duty last evening.
In speaking of the difficulty Mr..
Brinkman made the following state
ment:
Freeman At one time worked under
me as a coach cleaner, and for good
reasons l discharged him several
weeks ago. Immediately after his re-
lease he made a trip out of the city,
and when he appeared last night and
informed me that he was ready to go
to work, he grew very angry when |
advised him that | had nothing for him
to do.
"While 1 Was unlocking the door to
my office, Freeman struck me a hard
blow in the eye. l had no time nor
opportunity u defend myself, but be-
fore Freeman could follow up his adj
vantage he was seized and held by
other coach cleaners who had been at
tracted to the scene.
after promising not to renew his
abusive practices he was released and
permitted to leave the yards. l expect
to file a coriplain against him and
have him arrested tomorrow"
Torrance Kinder, another coach
cleaner, who mad been suffering all
day from the intense heat, became so
excited during the encounter that he
collapsed and was removed to his home
unconscious.
The physician who waited upon him
stated that mis- symptoms were similar
to that of sunstroke, and that he was
undoubtedly on the verge of being
stricken when the sudden excitement
FASTENED the result.
kindcr's condition was regarded
serious and during the early part Of
the right he was quite restless, but
finally became quoted and at late re-
ports he had regained consciousness
and his condition was much improved.
