Representations Soon to Be Made
to Allies Insisting on Change
in Operation of Blockade.

WASHINGTON. June ll.-Optimism.
more pronounced than it has been since
the diplomatic correspondence with
Germany over the sea zones of war
began. was manifested to-day in Of
fetal quarters here over the prospects
'for peaceful outcome of the pending
controversy between Germany and the
United States
The American note, presented to the
BerIn Foreign Office to-day by Am
bassador Gerard. was interpreted on
All sides as decidedly friendly and
iearlhg the way open to n satisfactory
solution. with honor to both sides Of
hciais made II clear that the note pur-
poseiy had been phrased so as to
reitcrate the carncstness Of the United
states with respect TO the principles Of
humanity and international law. and
ht the same time to afford Germany an
opportunity. with dignity. TO make her
practice square with the principles ex-
pccted.
II was officially stated to-day that
note soon would be sent TO C;reat

case in the American correspondence

BETTER ARRANGEMENTS
MAY he THE RESULT

This procedure enables Great Britain
and her allies TO take cognizance of
the virtual invitation of the United
States TO the belligerents to make sug-
gcstions affecting maritime warfare.
and il is suggested that out of il may
grow modus vivendi or temporary
ARRANGEMENT whereby the rights of
neutrals or belligerents would not be
given up during the progress of the
war, but changes effected so as to
mitigate the terrors OF tie conflict and
afford safety TO noncombatants and
neutrals OIL the high seas.
The resignation OF Mr.. Bryan be-
cause he believed the note to Germany
might lead TO hostilities. is a factor
which high officials here regard as
likely TO have an important influence
on the situation in Berlin because he
revealed in advance that President
Wilson would reject any protra cted
parley, and would not surrender the
right of Americans to travel on un-
armed and unresisting merchant ships
of any nationality. inasmuch as Mr.
Bryan interpreted the note, which was
presented by Ambassador Gerard to-
day, as likely to lead to war, much
more strength of purpose. il was ad-
mitted in official quarters. would be
attached TO the note on its receipt in
Berlin Ivy the ministry. while German
public opinion would not find in the
text itself any provocation for a rup-
ture in relations.
AS the note was discussed i'm diplo-
matte quarters, surprise was general
that Mr.. Bryan had declined to sign
the document. The belief that the note
might have hecn changed before it
was finally dispatched. after Mr.. Bryan
rejected its contents. was dissinated by
Secretary Lansing. who said he had
been directed by the President to show
the note to Mr.. Bryan in its final form,
because Of some unessential and minor
changes.

INTENTION TO SEND SUCH
COMMUNICATION FINED

The statement issued tonight by
William Jennings Bryan revealed thai
while Secretary OF state. Mr. BRYAN
favored the sending of a note urging
prompt adherence by the allies to the
requests of the American note of
March 30 10 Great Britain and France
concerning the order in council Mr..
Bryan disclosed that the President had
differed with him as TO the time when
the note would be sent, bu, that the
intention TO send such communlca
tion was fixed.
Close reading in diplomatic quarters
OF the American note brought out a
variety OF predictions and views as 10
the manner in which Germany would
reply. There was a general feeling of
confidence, however that Germany
would accept some of the several av-
enues of approach purposely included
in the note 10y the American govern
ment so as to make possible friendly
settlement
Much Importance was attached to
the statement of the Willingness of the
United States TO exercise it's good of

by which the character and conditions
OF the war upon the sea may be

REPUBLICANS PRAISING
PRESIDENT WILSON.

IN A speech at q Homecoming
celebration at Rochester, ILL.,, United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman
praised the policy of President VIII
son in dealing with international ques.
tons and denounced the %utterances OF
former president Theodore Roosevelt
relative TO the administration.
THE affairs Of this country" de-
clared Senator Sherman, have been
conducted in such a that all
possibility of trouble with any OF the
belligerent European nations has beer
removed"
Continuing Senator Sherman said:
Il am not a member of the democratic
party and have no affiliations with
that party. President Wilson is not
a republican and / am no a demo.
crat, but / am an American. AS a
voter in the United States ! shall
stand behind Wilson as long as he
takes the stand that he has taken be,
tween the United States and Germany.
The people are non-partisan in a sit.
uation of this kind"
The following telegram from John
Hayes Hammond, president of the Ma,
tional League Of Republican Clubs, Is
made public by Secretary Garrison:
Regardless OF politics, the people
are behind you in the important work
you are ably doing for our national
defense. Any suspicion as to your
integrity of purpose Is entertained
only by shallow minds and by con
temptible politicians whose wish Is
father to the thought. 1t will prove
TO be political suicide to so-calle6
leaders Of the republican party II they
do not cordially cooperate with the
administration in the matter of ma
tional defense"
Democrats of Kentucky, In state
convention Thursday, Endorsed the ad
ministration Of President Wilson and
declared in favor of his denomination
in 1916. The resolutions recognize
Woodrow Wilson as the one man best
suited to bear the burdens and per
form the Herculean tasks now con,
fronting the president OF the United
States"
Only disgruntled Republican news
papers and hungry politicians find fault
with the nations greatest president.

perhaps twice the amount per acre
for the Sacramento valley.
or ourse . dry farm can do this
only every other year. The preeipi-
tation OF one year must b stored in
the ground for next seasons crop.
Herein lies the secret Of dry farming.
The top soil one summer must be
kept in a fine mulch. This allows the
rain to go down into the ground and
the fine dust cuts on capillary attrac-
ton. Thus the water can not get out
OF the ground.
But IL the ground is packed and the
molecules press hard against one an
other they act as a pump to draw up
the water from the earth and allow
1t to evaporate or the surface.
OF course there have been failures
In dry farming. But time and ex-
pertence will demonstrate that thous-
ands OF acres In Elko county and all
through Nevada a be proitably cul-
tivated by dry farming methods.

TEST LEGALITY
OF 8.HOUR Law

Labor Commissioner Wallace has
taken up the violations of the eight
hour law by the Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed Copper company at McGin, com.
plants having beein made to his office
to that effect. The company Is
charged with working their men over
eight hours in the open cuts and ad-
NIT 1t, but say that the men object
to a cut in hours with a correspond
ing reduction in pay and that the
enforcement of the law would be det-
rimental rather than beneficial to
labor. Commissioner Wallace has an
opinion of the attorney general sup
porting him in his contention. The
company is also charged with the vio-
lation of the eight-hour law at what
is known as the Eureka pit at the
Ruth mine, the miners being obliged
to board the cage ten minutes before
the whistle blows to go to work, and
are not permitted to board the cage
to leave the mine until the whistle

Commissioner Wallace says is con.
trary to law.
The company maintains hat the
men go to work on the company's
time and come out on their own,
which is the custom prevailing in
most of the mines. 1t Is quite evi.
dent from the correspondence be.
tween the labor commissioner and
the company that the entire matter
will have to be thrashed out in court
and the constitutionality of the law
tested. although Mr.. Lakenan, gen.
eral manager, writes that they are
always willing and anxious to obey
the law and have no intention to do
otherwise.-Appeal.

ASSESSORS MAKE

SOME BIG RAISES
Commencing last evening the state
board Of assessors began a series of
night sessions, which will porbably
continue till the 30th OF this month,
when the state puts a limit on their
further meeting. There Is a plenti-
tude of work to do and II has been
found that by only working during
the day the members cannot finish
the labors that have been set out for
them.
A couple of days ago the classified.
lions lists were finished and begin
ming last night the assessments to be
placed on the taxable property of the
sixteen counties OF the state were be.
gun. Taking the assessments as they
have been levied by the various as
SCISSORS. the following horizontal
raises were made:
Clark county, 16 2-3 per cent: Elko
county, rs per cent; Humboldt coun.
ty, rs per cent; Lyon county, 20 per
cent; Douglas county, 16 90 per cent,
and Washoe county, 16 80 per cent.
The raises were not made without
a protest, the assessors OF the coun.
ties which were being raised general.
ly maintaining that the raises were
excessive, but wherever a raise was
made the action of the board was
sustained by a considerable majority,
so undoubtedly the increased valua.
ton will stand.
This morning the board was called
in executive session, but what bust.
ness was transacted has not been
learned.
At yesterdays session one Of the i'm
portant increases made by the board
was the raising OF the valuation of the
home property OF Senator Francis @.
Newlands in Reno from 81, 500 to $780,
000.-Appeal.
