COMPANY &C" MUSTERED IN
Great Bend Now Has Company
National Guard.

Colonel, L. NJ. HOlSlngt0n, OF
the Kansas National Guard, was
here from Newton this week for
the purpose of mastering in Great
Bends now military company,
Co. C, of the Kansas National
Guard. He was assisted in the
work by Sergeant Lyon, of the U.
S. regular army and who will re-
main in the city for several weeks
for the purpose of drilling the
company and getting them started
out in proper shape. Col. Hoising-
ton returned to his home Thurs
day morning after completing the
muster Wednesday evening.
The permanent headquarters
of the new company will be in the
old Moses Hall as soon as it is
put in the proper shape, but for
the present they will use the hall
in the Moses building at the cor
ner of Main and 18th streets for
their armOry, and drills will be
held every Wednesday and Fri
day evenings.
The institution of this company
is one of the best things in many
ways which has occurred in Great
Bend for long time, and will be
the means of giving the town a
great deal of desirable advertising
in the future. The company is
composed of young men who can
be counted upon to be faithful in
the performance of their duties
and the schooling which they will
secure in this way will be of vast
benefit to them through all their
life, and it will lend an influence
which will be felt throughout the
entire community as well. 1t will
prove to be a good thing for the
town as well as for the individual
and the officers and members of
Co. c should receive the support
and the encouragement of every
person in the community who be-
lieveS in boosting for the town
and making it a larger and a bet
ter place in which to live.
The following is the roll of the
officers and members of the new
company:

Washington at the request of Secre-
tary Of State Lansing learned of the
American governments objection and
in return gave oral assurances that
these would be promptly overcome.
Returning to- the embassy, the ,ambas-
sador redrafted the letter originally
delivered in New York and sent it by
messenger to the state department.
Secretary Of State Lansing gave out
the letter but made no comment on it
except to remark that it spoke for it.

conclusion Of the case.
His excellency is contented," was
the statement of the German embassy
when the ambassador returned with
the announcement that the United
States government was satisfied. #

United States the ambassador re-
marked to friend, 'but credit must
be given to Germany, ! believe, for
nobly accepting the word Of the Brit

One Of the most uptodate barns in
Barnes county is that just recently
finished for the King brothers, who
for some years past have been build

a description and picture of the big
structure.
This barn is So feet wide and 100
feet long, height of hay loft from
floor to peak is rs feet and will hold
about 200 tons of hay. The outside
concrete foundation is two feet thick
at the bottom and IL inches at the top
of the ground, on this the stills are
anchored every few feet. On top of
the stills and between the studdings

part the managers are also of concrete.
Stanchions for the cattle are of the

are also plenty of large ventilating
chutes to bring in fresh air and to
take out foul air. The barn is built

Germany Yields
in Arabic Case

Washington, Oct. Germany has
completely acceded to the American
! demand for a>settlement Of the Arabic
case. The imperial government in a
letter presented today by it's ambassa-
dor, Count Won Bernstorff, to Secretary
of State Lansing, disavovs the sinking
Of the vessel, announces that it has so
notified the submarine commander
who made the attack, expresses regret
for the loss of American lives and
agrees to pay an indemnity to their
families. All
Official Washington was both graft
fed and relieved by the diplomatic
victory. The communication delivered
by the ambassador was pursuant to
general instructions from his govern
ment and spread absolute confidence
that there would be no more subma-
rine controversies between the United
States and Germany, for the document
reveals that stringent orders have
been given to submarine commanders
to prevent recurrence of such Incl
dents as the Arabic.
Since the case embraces the princi-
pie for which President Wilson con.
tended in his note following the torpe-
doing of the Lusitania and the Falaba,
the concession made by Germany to
the American viewpoint was generally
regarded tonight as paving the way
for an amicable settlement of all the
cases which have threatened sever
ance Of diplomatic relations between
the two countries.
Count Won Bernstorff left here to-
night happy over the results Of his
work, expressing the confident hope
that relation between the United
States and Germany would continue
to improve &, Vi 4.
With the settlement of the Arabic
controversy, the dispatch to Great
Britain Of the long delayed American
note on interference with trade is ex-
pected within a few days. President
Wilson has consistently refused to
send this communication while the is
sues with Germany were pending be-
cause the Berlin government had
through its note given the impression
that on the action which the United
States took with one set Of belligerents
depended it's own conformity to inter-
national law. AS the issues with Ger
many appear now to be adjusting
themselves the president, it is known,
feels free to press Great Britain for q
modification Of the orders in council
and the restriction Of American trade.
It was not until the German ambas-
sador submitted his letter at o'clock
today that the change in the relation
between Germany and the United
States became definite. Until that
hour the suggestion which Count Won
Bernstorff had made was considered
unsatisfactory.
Today Count Won Bernstorf came to

Big Kick Against Postal Congestion
Thousands Sign Petition For Relief

The kick against the Penns Grove
most office congestion held last Friday
evening at Main and Delaware Avenues
was an earnest and forcible one which
should be heard at Washington. Five
hundred attended and thousands have
signed the two hundred petitions which
have been circulated during the past
week.
Edmund ]. Phillips, a former cal
yalry man, who served in the Philip
pines and in China, and has had ex-
perience in mining towns, was chair
man of the meeting. He proved him
self to be a forcible speaker and STIR
red the crowd to immediate kick in
signing the petitions.
He said the accommodations at
Penns Grove Office is the worst he had
v e experienced in all his travels. The
space is too small for the post master
and his able assistants. More assist
ant would be in the way with the pres
ent room. The arrival of from ten to
twenty-five sacks of mail every morn
ing takes an hour to distribute. The
parcel post business is tremendous and
the postal savings equal to a banking
business which runs into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars in a year.
The delay of letters causes not only
loss of time and anxiety but loss of
positions and sorrow Letters have
been from a week to months in reach
ing the addresses. Some have receiv-
ed notice OF the death and funeral some
days after the burial Of relatives.
A private carrier has worked up a
having route of his own through the
borough and delivers mail for ten cents
a week for each family. The mail he
handles requires the use of a horse
and buggy. AS larger facilities are not
possible to get the immediate relief
three mail carriers are needed.
Rev. Edward Mount spoke in behalf
of the complaining patrons. He adj
vised the patrons to be polite and pa
tient because the clerks were working
hard and doing their best. More boxes
should be provided. Hundreds would
pay for them. The postal inspector
must be blind, deaf and dumb to not
see the need of better service and see
that it is provided Immediately. 1t
was the duty of the Congressman to
urge it.
w. A. Summerill said that Penns
Grove did not have ample postal faci-
lities before the powder boom. The
postal authorities had failed to give fl
nancial inducements for men to rent
space. Two men who have erected
buildings refused to provide postal fac
ilities because the offer was not as
good as business men gave.
Business men have come into Penns
Grove and given property owners rem
tails which will warrant the alteration
of buildings within a hundred feet of
the post Office, but the Government Of
ficials refuse to do the same.
We are now taking our constitutional
right to peaceably assemble, make
known our grievances and to appeal by
petition.
He presented envelopes which had
been mailed in July and in August and
reached the man in Penns Grove Oc-
tober 10th. AS a publisher sending out
hundreds of papers the delay was a
great detriment to business. Persons
who should receive their Penns Grove
Record Friday night do not receive
some until the next week and some are
never received.
