Feeling in Germany.

WASHINGTON, June S.-President

new DRIVE IN
ARRAS FIELD

PARIS. June s. Hostilities be-
tween the French and Germans are
now raging north and south of Arras
and progress for the French troops is
reported in both sections in the war
office statement.
North of Arras on the Souchez
front the French have scored another
advance in the vicinity of the Sou
chez sugar factory which has been
the scene of very bloody fighting.
German counter attacks in the "laby-
rfnth" back of Neuville St. Baast
were repulsed and the French sue
cessfully defended all the works they
had taken there from the Teutons.
South Of Arras the French captured
$50 prisoners The extension of hos
tilities by the French indicates that
General French may contemplate a
great effort to force a great wedge
between the German right and center.
The two formations join on the Disc
river north of its junction with the

TO HOLD OLD CORN FOR SEED
Nebraska Farmers Advised to Guard
Against Defective Seed of
1915 Crop.

Lincoln, Nebraska. - To guard
against the poor seed corn danger,
Nebraska farmers are being advised
by the department of experimental
agronomy of the University of Neb-
raska, to keep at least part of their
supply of last years seed corn as an
emergency supply.
With corn throughout the state
backward this year there is danger
that it will be soft, and with the pos
sibility that it may not ripen prop
erly there is tho danger, experienced
few years ago, that it may not ger
inmate after being planted, and so
be worthless for seed.
While the corn crop in this state is
backward, due to the cool summer, a
good crop is expected. This corn,
while it probably will be soft, grain
experts say, will nevertheless make
good stock feed, and it is expected
that heavy feeding Of live stock in
this state will be one Of the results
of the backward crop.

NOTE GRATIFYING TO 7. R.
ON THE FACE 1T APPEARS TO BE
SATISFACTORY.
Colonel, However, Admits a Number
of offs" to His Comment on
Bernstorff Statement.

Oyster Bay, New York. - The
following statement was given out by
former President Roosevelt in rela-
ton to Ambassador Won Bernstorffs
note concerning the Aabic:
ION its face it appears to be most
gratifying and If the acts of the Ger
mans bear 1t out and if suitable
amends are made for the lives lost
on the Lusitania and Arabic and for
the Gulflight and Falaba and similar
cases, and il there is no provision
expressed or implied as to action on
our part, such as was requested by
Germany before as regards England
and France, the results in every way
will be satisfactory.
Il wish to call attention, however,
to one thing. This is in no sense Of
confession from Germany, as 1t has
been styled in some papers. 1t is an
announcement that she intends to
stop the policy of assassination. To
stop the policy establishes no claim
for gratitude and take it for granted,
of course, there will be the most am
pie amends, so far as such amends
are possible, made not only for the
property, but for the 120 lives of
American men, women and children
who have been assassinated during
the four months and over that the
policy has been carried out"

Outline of Peace Terms.

Washington. - The peace terms
which Germany would be willing to
discuss at this time we're outlined to
q correspondent as follows:
Absolute withdrawal OF Poland from
Russian dominions and formation Of
separate kingdom under Roman Cath
Ollie monarch.
Restoration of the status quo in
Western Europe and guarantees that
none of the belllgerents extend their
territories.
Freedom Of Finland and institution
of autonomous government, although
possibly under Swedish protectorate.
Redistribution of the colonies of the
belligerents, particularly in Africa.
Germany, while evacuating Belgium,
will refuse to pay any indemnity to
the latter, but would be willing to
pay a reasonable price for the Congo
free State, the Belgian colony in
Africa.
Germany proposes that Great Brit
ain and all other nations enter into
IN agreement establishing the free
dom of the seas and immunity of all
commerce from attack in time of war.

Hundred Bodies Said to

London.--An army of 100000 Ger
mans is menacing Riga, the import
ant port on the Baltic, and the fall
of the key to Petrograd" is expected
soon.
This is considered the most critical
situation the Russians have faced
on their entire front, for the capture
OF Riga, a city Of 100000, probably
will cut the Russian army in two, sub
jecting hundreds of thousands to
capture or humiliation, and impair
ing the forces which would be
thrown back to safeguard Dvinsk.
The Russians have brought up
thousands OF re-enforcements and are
stubbornly defending this line
A German crossing of the river
would mean the evacuation of Riga
and threatening Of the Russian posi-
tons south of the Dvina.
However, the Germans do not yet
claim to have crossed the river, which
is being defended by a REINFORCED
army commanded by Gen. Ruzsky,
who stopped the previous German ad-
vance on the Bzura River in front
of Warsaw.
Teutonle Forces Capture Grodno.
In view of the Importance of the
battle raging along the Lower Dvina,
the fighting elsewhere loses some OF
its interest. Grodno, which the Rus
SLAMS evacuated, apparently proved
an empty shell to the Germans, as
they captured only 400 prisoners af-
ter street fighting. To the northwest
of Wilma the Russians are on the Of
fensive, and while the Germans say
the Russian counter attacks have
been complete failure, 1t is said in
Petrograd that the counter offensive
seriously threatens the German left
flank and communications with the
army of Lieut.. Gen. Won Eichhorn.

ooI Fund viii Be undivided.

School Fund VIII Be Undivided.
Attorney General Barker, in an
opinion transmitted to Auditor Cor
don holds that the public schools are
entitled to one-third of all the rev.
enues for the year ending June 30,
1915, and instructed the auditor to at
once make the apportionment on that
basis.
This opinion will make the total OF
the school funds for the year $2,123,-
554.71.
The new ruling completely reverses
the one made previously by the attor
ney general. He believes the old opin-
ion was technically correct, but that
in view of custom and the importance
of the schools he believes the auditor
should apportion the money in favor
of the schools.
In his original opinion, Attorney
General Barker held that the state
legislature, in specifying that one
third of the Ordinary" state revenues
should go to the school fund, did not
include beer, oil and grain inspec-
ton" fees, which the attorney gen.
eral classed as Extraordinary" rev.
enue.
The one-third portion Of this So
called extraordinary" revenue which
was diverted from the school revenue
by opinion No. 1, amounted to $514,-
5O2. Opinion No. says that this
money should be turned over to the
school fund and directs the state audi
tor to certify this amount to the
superintendent of public schools for
distribution.
State Superintendent of Schools
Howard A. Gass had instituted man.
damus suit in the state supreme court
to compel the auditor to pay over this
so-called extraordinary" revenue to
the school fund. When asked what
he would do about his suit Mr.. Gass
remarked that he would wait a few
days; maybe there'l be another opin-
ion."
In opinion No. 2 Attorney General
Barker says that in order to relieve
the public schools of the embarrass.
ment caused by opinion No. 1, he will
rule that the money be turned over
to the school fund. He holds the
question still doubtful, however.
