 While Germany agreed, it is dis closed. to abondon her submarine attacks upon mercantile oi any flag" except when they resist visit or search, provided foodstuffs are permitted to reach her civilian popu- lation, Great Britain and her allies rejected the proposal originally made by the United States in an effort to bring the belligerents into an arrangement that will safeguard the interests of the neutrals
 The latest notes from Great Brit ain and France reveal for the first
 time that the allies officially regard
 their policy as blockade" but desire to refrain from exercising the rights of belligerents under a blockade to confiscate ships and cargoes as penalty for d breach
 of blockade substituting for it's pro- cedure in prize courts and compen- s3tion through the sale of detained merchandise
 Publication of the correspondence cleans the slate of diplomatic notes and leaves the United States con fronted with the question of wheth- : CT or. not she will acquiesce in the fsq .Ia ! the allies or make a protest. The
 president himself indicated strong 1 protest would be made. and that of i ficials are already gathering ma : i terial for it. The notes record the 1 failure of the United States to bring i the beliserents into ah agreement i in the use of submarines and mines and fixing definite rule governing l shipments of conditional contraband 1 to the civilian population of bel ! ligerents. and the abandonment of i neutral flags as a ruse of war
 Officials admitted being somewhat 1 puzzled over the British rejection of the proposals made by the United States il ! this connection. They observed a state { mont in the British reply to the Ameri ] can note which is not borne out in com
 parison with the German note The
 British reply, refusing to enter ar 1 agreement. says with reference to the ! American communication:
 The reply of the German govern ment to the note was published and il i is not understood from the reply that 1 the German government is prepared tc 1 abandon the practice of sinking British i merchant vessels by submarines
 What Germany said officially fol | lows:

when necessary to enforce the right cf visit and search.
 The proposal of the United States was that Germany and Great Britain agree that neither would use subma rines to attack merchant vessels of any nationality except to enforce the right of visit and search The only explanation advanced by of ficials as a possible reason for the mis- understanding was a newspaper report that reached Great Britain to the effect
 that Germany had agreed to abandon submarine warfare against neutrals, but not against the belligerent mer-
 chantmen.

The GarVin Deal
Is Now Off

the general manager of the Rocky
Mountain Cooperative Distributors
this year. The arrangements which
had been tentatively made to put him
at the head of the institution in re-
turn for the affiliation of the Utah
Colorado fell through late Saturday
night at a meeting held in Salt Lake
City.
Just who the manager of the cen
trail agency will be is still undecided
and the time for definite action is ap-
preaching rapidly. Quick work will
have to be accomplished within the
next few weeks in order to complete
the line up with western markets and
effect a successful distributing system
this year.
1t was hoped that Utah would be
lined up with the Colorado associa-
tions in order that the competition be-
tween the two states on peaches might
be averted. 1t is decared that Utah
peaches more than any peaches on
the market of any other state, serve
to beat down the market when the
local peaches are ready for shipment.
The Utah associations, however,
had completed their organization, con-
tracted with their employees and have
arranged their eastern connections
early in the season and do not feel
justified in breaking all these plans
in order to affiliate with Western Col
orado. They did however, suggest that
negotiations be entered into later on
with a view of forming a union of eff
fort for the 1916 crop.
V. C. Talbert, who put the matter
before the Utahans, expressed the
deepest regret as to the result of the

Claim It Was A
Blue Sky Deal

A complaint has been filed in the
district court by William A. Johnson
and Hannah A. Johnson, plaintiffs, VS..
n. ]. Thayer and Ida NJ. Thayer, de-
fendents, for the purpose of recovering
the right and title to the farm former
ly occupied and owned by them on
California mesa.
The complaint alleges that prior to
April /, 1915, a deal was entered into
whereby the Johnsons exchanged their
ranch to Mr.. and Mrs. Thayer for so
acres of Missouri land valued at $4,000.
The deal was made through real es-
tate firm outside of Montrose.
About April 1, of this year, Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson, with their children and
son-in-law, travelled to Missouri for the
purpose of coming into possession of
and settling upon their newly ac-
quired purchase. Upon their arrival
in Missouri, the complaint alleges they
found. instead of a piece of property
valued at $4,000, one that had been

on the property was a man and his
family who claimed that they had no
intention of leaving and, as they had
their crops in the Johnsons would be
required to pay for the crop as it
stood if they ever thought of getting
possession of the place.
Mr.. Johnson claims that he is blue
sky victim and asks the cancellation
of the deal and $1,000 as damages, for
the reason that he was not only put to
great inconvenience in packing up
and moving to his supposed home,
but his railroad fare and cost for
self and family.
The complaint states that when the
trade was made, a difference of $500
was paid to the Johnsons as a bonus
in the trade.
The Johnsons have returned to Mon.

A FORMER DELTA BOY is
AUTOING TO PACIFIC COAST

Charles Collins and chum ac-
quired during his four years residence
at Victor, Colorado, pulled into the
city about $50 Friday evening in a
little roadster which was thoroughly
packed for a long drive, and in an
interview with the two young men it
was learned that they were enroute to
the Pacific coast expositions from the
big mining camp in Teller county and
that they expected to make the jour
ney in about three weeks, barring ser
ious mishaps of any kind. They had
come across Tennessee pass via Lead
vile in the run from Victor and had
made the run from Glenwood Springs
to Delta on the day of their arrival
here.
Collins is a native of this county,
having passed all of his early life
since childhood with his parents here
and the trip off the Pacific coast
route to Delta at this time was for the
express purpose of visiting few days
with his parents who now reside near
Cedaredge.
The tourists proceeded on their trip
to Cedaredge Saturday morning.
