A Popular st. Paul Man Passes Away

There are many people throughout
the state who will regret the death
of Matt Jensen, which occurred at
his home in st. Paul last Sunday af-
ternoon. He was taken i'll on an
automobile trip to White Salmon,
WASH, on visit to his son about
two months ago. Apoplexy was the
Immediate cause of his death.
For many years Mr.. Jensen was
chief clerk in the state treasurer S
office, then he was city clerk Of ST..
Paul, and for nine years past was
clerk of the district court of Ramsey
county.
Matt Jensen was a genial, whole
souled man, who numbered his
friends by the thousand, and his

Matter Rests With GERMANY.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The imme.
date future of the submarine contro-
versy between the United States and
Germany is now largely in the hands
of Berlin.
With full appreciation of this fact,
but still most hopeful that Germany
will be willing to make the conces-
sions necessary to carry the situation
over it's present most difficult stage,
the administration entered upon a
period of waiting.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, is the chief instrument
through which it is hoped here that a
more satisfactory attitude of the Ger
man government toward the Arabic
case will be obtained
1t is expected that at least a week
Or ten days will elapse= before the out
come of his efforts can be known
here. Ambassador Bernstorff is plan
ming to leave Washington for the sum-
mer embassy at Cedarhurst, l.. I. It
is quite probable that Secretary of
State Lansing also will arrange to get
away for few days Of rest in the
interim
Should Germany fail to satisfy the
American demand for disavowal indi-
cations were that the Washington gov
eminent would follow it's original pur-
pose to sever diplomatic relations.
The German ambassador was never
more hopeful of an amicable solution
of the submarine controversy being
reached than he is now.
While officials of the administration
do not, for obvious reasons, publicly
echo the ambassadors radiant Opt.
mism, it is known that they feel also
that the situation is far from being
hopeless.
1t was noted with satisfaction here
that Ambassador Gerard had a talk
with the Berlin foreign office, ap-
parently similar in it's purposes to the
conference between Secretary Lam
sing and Ambassador Bernstorff here.
This gave. rise to the belief that
the German government shares the
desire of it's representative here to
find way in which the two govern
ments can be brought into complete
accord.
AS has been stated in these dis
patches the immediate difficulty pre-
venting the governments reaching an
understanding is the German note on
the Arabic case. The United States
finds it impossible to accept this note
as satisfactory, because in it Germany
refuses to accept liability for the act,
in this case the mistake, of it's SUBJ
marine commander. This strikes at
the very fundamentals of the United
States position.
In it's very first note to Germany on
the submarine issue, that of Feb. 10,
it declared that it would hold the Ger
man government Ito strict account
ability" for the acts of it's naval COM
manders operating under the then
just issued war zone decree.

Rent the Armory for School PURPOSES

Rent the Armory for School Purposes.
Owing to the large enrolment at
the Princeton schools, additional
room had to be provided, and at
special meeting of the school board
last Saturday evening the armory
was rented at an agreed price of S65
per month. The main auditorium
is now being used for school pur-
poses. Workmen are plastering, and
otherwise preparing the front up
talrs room. which will be divided by
center wall, and when completed
these two rooms will be used. Each
of the rooms will be large enough for
all purposes
The Normal department. of the
high school and that part of the
eighth grade associated with it, have
been transferred to the armory. =
The school board examined various
buildings, but found none so suitable
as the armory, and it will be used
until new building is erected.

NOTES..

Frank Morneau, the enterprising
Wahkon banker, brought down a
creditable display of fruit, vegeta-
bles, grain and grasses from the town
of Isle Harbor. This is the first
time Isle Harbor has had a display
at the county fair but we hope it
will not be the last.
AS usual the wide-awake Vineland
storekeeper is on hand with a fine
exhibit of the products of the town
of Kathio. There is an exception
ally good exhibit of apples and other
fruit in Kathio's generous contribu-
tion.
R. E. Lynch's herd of II Ayrshires
attracts attention in the cattle barn.
This herd captured three blue, six
red and two white ribbons at the
state fair this year. Mr.. Lynch has
reason to feel proud of his beautiful
Ayrshires.
Agricultural exhibits were coming
in thick and fast until late hour
last evening, and the indications are
that there will not be a foot Of
vacant space in agricultural hall.
The Union goes to press late We'd
nesday evening so as to give the force
an opportunity of visiting the fair
Thursday. The indications are if
the fine weather continues that this
will be the biggest and most sue
cessful fair in the history of the
society. Ample Justice will be done
exhibits and exhibitors in the next
issue of the Union.
