BERLIN, June /. (Ry courier TO
Denmark, thence Via The Hague and

amy apprehensive, anticipating a dip
lomatic break between Germany and
the United States. Rumors have
been spreading for several days that
all should be ready to leave on twen-
ty-four hours notice.
| An American dentist here says Con-
sui General Lay informed him It was
|inadvisable to make future dates with
patients. The embassy passport star
is overworked. Practically all pass
ports SO far issued have been vtssd
on request Of the holders by the Dan
ish, Swedish, Dutch and Swiss con-
sulates 50 that any route may be tax

sons claiming citizenship and unable

doctors. Red Cross nurses, Polish re-
lief commissioners, correspondents and
their families, be permitted to leave
on a special embassy train, this as
surance was smilingly given.
Although government officials con-
tinue optimistic OF adjustment, Amer

Tally since the foreign publication ot
a widely quoted article from the
Fatherland, of New York. claiming
that the United States has a secret
treaty with the allies. l have heard
many Americans declare their hope
that the president think of the en-
bassys humanitarian work among the
prisoners Of war, and also of the Bel
gian relief work before breaking rela-
tions. Vi,
learn from several sources that it
is possible an agreement has already
unoffi cially been considered whereby
the United States might accomplish
it's purpose without Germany giving
up her submarine warfare-at the
same time safeguarding the lives Of
non-combatants on the high seas.
One suggestion is that unarmed
merchantmen not carrying munitions
be given special flag, similar to that
Of the Belgian relief commission. The
attitude of the German press has de-
cidedly changed recently. After the
sinking of the Lusitania and the ar
rival of the first American note, the
press did not believe America in ear
nast. simultaneously the Italian stu
alton clouded the German-American
issues. Afterward the press began
paying serious attention to the Amer
lean question. ...
While there have been some attacks
against the United States, the papers
are now refecting what Americans
here believe the real attitude at home.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Former
Secretary Of State William Jennings
Bryan was mapping out his future
course today He was In quiet touch
with his closest friends and advisors,
from his home here, endeavorfng to
decide on the best method by which
he can promote peace. His successor
in the Office OF premier Of the govern
ment, Robert Lansing, was admins

smoothness.
Discussion of permanent success

generally in inside administration
circles to Lansing and Secretary

to resent any action that would seem
TO- be slight upon him.
Counsellor and Acting Secretary
Lansing was believed by many to be
the presidents real choice. He IS
nominally democrat, but has never
worked very hard at politics. He is
a deep student Of international law,
however, and has the presidents COM
plete confidence. The chief objection,
of course, is that he is not politician.
Democratic leaders would like very
much to have a man named who can

sons order on June Is, was the be-
lief Of Mexican officials in Juarez to-

a result OF the visit to Washington by

ply will not be made public, It was
stated, until delivered to the presi-
dent.
Villa is understood to suggest a
conference at Washington of the
fact;onal leaders or their representa-
tives. In such case, Bonilla will
represent Villa. Bonilla was his dele
gate to the Torreon conference at
which the first split between Car
rama and Villa was mended. Also

net and is candidate for compromise

the white house. 1t was emphatically
stated there, however, that the presi-
dent would keep his party in mind
when he finally selects the permanent
official which he Is required under
the law to do within thirty days.
The political effect of Secretary
Bryan's withdrawal was the chief
topic of conversation in political
circles today. He will remain In
Washington for couple Of weeks at
least, although he said today he might
make weekend trip either to New
York or Philadelphia. His plans are
still incomplete.

original declaration that he hoped to
crystaIize public sentiment so that

thought, which would result in the
spreading over the country of wave
of sentiment against war To aid it,
he expects to make a number of

COMMENDS MOVES FOR
BUILDING GREATER ARDMORE

Hugo, Okla, Dec. Tn your re,
| cent moves for Greater Ardmore
you are following lines that bring re
suits of the kind that build, and build
correctly, and will bring to your city
those dependable assets that are not
only valuable for the present, but be-
come more valuable and constructive
as time goes by.
| note the fact from your editorial
columns that, on Thursday next you
are going to have a high-noon lunch
con, under the jurisdiction of your
chamber of commerce. In this up
to date move you are making a happy
hit and one that stands for much
more than you can possibly dream of
at this time, for it is a proven fact,
wherever men who do thingsfare got
ten together and permitted the free
dom of speech and action, and eat and
drink and be merry at same time, lay
the best plans for the greatest results,
which invariably follow meets of this
kind as sure as the night follows the
days.
1t is my prediction now that you
are going to have at this luncheon the
very flower and talent of your business
men present, who know how, and will
point the way to put your city on the
front seat of prosperity and command
the attention of the great progressive
divisions, not only from a commercial
standpoint, but a desirable citizenship
as well.
One of the progressive moves You
suggest, we commend to the limit, and
this move is for fifty miles of good
roads radiating out from your city into
the rural districts. 1t is an agreed
fact that the largest dividend produc-
ers we have, are good roads, and that
these dividends are never deferred,
but are promptly paid, and without
protest.
We want to make you one sugges-
ton in the move for greater Ardmore
and Carter county, and it is this: 1t
is not how fast you can build them,
but how good, upon the permanent and
lasting plans, to be standing monu-
ments of the wisdom you exhibit in
building and building worth while.
