KAISER AGREES TO
WILSON SEA POLICY
Count Won Bernstorff Gives Secretary
Lansing Written Assurances That
Liners Will Be Warned.

Washington, Sept 3.-Germany has
accepted in principle Americas inter-
probation of the rules under which her
submarines may operate. Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassado SO
informed Secretary of State Lansing
on Wednesday.
Germanys action is accepted as the
greatest diplomatic victory of the war.
On leaving the state department Count
Won Bernstorff stated that he consid-
cred the submarine issues, as raised in
the cases of the Gulfight, Lusitania
and Arabic, closed incident.
The ambassador said that he had
been directed by his government to
notify the United States that hereafter
no merchant vessels will be attacked
by German submarines without first
being warned, visited and searched
and opportunity afforded for their pas
sengers and crew to escape. He said
that he had not taken up details at
this time. The question of payment
for the Lusitania and Arabic victims
and of formal disavowal would be dis
cussed by him later with Secretary
Lansing.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff filed the
following official memorandum with
Secretary Lansing:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: With refer
ence to our conversation Of this morn
ing l beg to inform you that my in
structions concerning our answer to
your last Lusitania note contains the
following passage:
"'Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety of lives of noncompliance,
provided that the liners do not try to
escape or offer resistance
although I know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania question
until the Arabic incident has been def
nitely and satisfactorily settled, I de.
sire to inform you of the above be-
cause this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred.
81 have no objection to your making
any use you may please of the above
information.
st remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
(Signed 81. BERNSTORFF."
Secretary Lansing commented as
follows on the statement:
''In view of the clearness of the fore
going statement it seems needless to
make any comment in regard to it
other than to say that it appears to
me a recognition of the fundamental
principles for which we have con-
tended"

LAY CHURCH CORNERSTONE
Rev. j. klingman Presides at Cere-
monies for New Oconomowoc
Lutheran Edifice.

Oconomowoc.-The laying Of the
cornerstone Of the new st. Paurs
Lutheran church here was very large
Iy attended. The Rev. J. Klingman Of

SUGAR BETS PAY WELL
Industry Is Becoming One of Most
Prosperous in Chippewa
Falls Region.

Chippewa Falls.-The farmers in
this county and vicinity who planted
sugar beets this year are going to be
we'll paid for their labor. There are
only about 1900 acres contracted for
by the factory In this city but the yield
is of good quality and the farmers
say that they will realize more from
their sugar beets than any crop they
have planted this year.
The elements have no effect on the
crop, the sugar beet grows when the
other crops stand still AS a result
sugar beet raising has become one of
the staple industries and the farmers
are becoming more aware of it from
year to year.
Contrary to old prejudices and mis-
taken ideas, sugar beets do not rob
the SOIL. If properly cultivated and
the refuse, such as beet tops, are put
back on the land, the loss is slight.
Beet pulp makes good cattle fodder
and increases the flow Of milk.

notcherS at Frisco.
The State Jersey Breeders associa-
ton, of which Mr.. Bruins is president,
will assist in making the California
exhibit. The cattle are in charge Of
Mr.. w. S. Dixon of Brandon.

POPE'S PEACE PLAN is
GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT
MESSAGE Not Made Public, but Cardi-
nal Gibbons Says Peace Pros
poets Are Bright.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Cardinal Glib
bons, dean of the College of Cardinals,
on Thursday presented to President
Wilson confidential communication
from Pope Benedict inviting and urg-
ing this government to cooperate with
the Vatican and neutral nations TO
bring about peace in Europe.
A conference on the same subject
was held later at the state department
between Cardinal Gibbons and Secre-
tary Of State Lansing.
After his visits and confidential talk
to and with the president, Cardinal
Gibbons said:
Il think the prospects of peace are
Frightening"
Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary OF
state and the president declined to re-
veal the details of the pope's sugges-
ton. It was stated at the White
House, in fact, that the president
would not discuss the subject at all.
Cardinal Gibbons said.
Fl only can tell you that conveyed
to the president message from the
holy father and that the message re-
lated to the subject Of peace. The
message cannot be made public yet; If
l receive authority I shall be glad to
make it public. The authority must
come from Rome and we will have to
confer about that
II regard the settlement of the con-
It'll 4a&n 40
and Germany as affording an excep-
tional opportunity for peace proposals
and as having placed the United
States in a most advantageous posi-
ton to act in this direction.
my interview with the president
was most gratifying. 1t would, Of
course, be improper for me to speak
in detail regarding the conference
with the president, but may say the
conference was of a very genial and
happy character In general way
Mexico was also discussed"
The cardinal said the peace pro-
posals he conveyed to the president
have been submitted only to the Unit
ed States. Whether the message from
the Vatican will be submitted to other
neutral governments the cardinal
would not say.

Teutons Capture 5000 Troops in
Russ Fortress.
SLAVS ARE IN FULL RETREAT
Germans Engage in Street Fighting
After Capturing Stronghold From
MISREPRESENTATION Near
Port Occupied.
SLAvS ARE IN FULL RETREAT

Vienna. Sept. 6.-The fleeing Rus
slams have everywhere retreated on
the Sereth line in eastern Galicia, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
by the war office. Austrian troops are
now before Doubno, second fortress
on the Volhynian triangle. Here the
Russians have lined up to make
stand and the Austrians are preparing
for an attack.
London, Sept. 6-Interest in devel-
opments on the eastern front centers
on two extremities of the great 9O0-
mile battle line, along the full extent
of which the Russian field army is
in full retreat before the advancing
Austro- German forces.
In the north the fortress and city
Of Grodno have fallen before the
Germans. Evacuation Of all the po-
sitions on the west hank of the Me
men by the Slavs, officially announced
by the Petrograd office, was followed
by the Teutons, who crossed the Me
men almost Immediately and captured
the city after desperate street fight
ing. Three thousand Russians were
captured. as well as one cannon ana
eighteen machine guns.
At the southern extremity of the
line the Austrians have virtually
cleared Galicia of the Russian invad-
ers. The Muscovites hold only
small strip of Galician territory be-
tween the River Sereth and Bessara-
bia, and the Austrians are relentless
ly advancing to purge their soil of
hostile troops.
With Grodno under the German flag.
the last fortress in Poland held by
the Russians no longer constitutes
menace to the German hosts advanc-
ing east and north, driving at the
great Baltic naval base of Riga, and
possibly at Petrograd itself. Coinc1-
dentally with the news of Grodno's
fall comes the news of the capture by
German troops Of the strongly forti-
fed bridgehead at Lennwade, north
east of FriedrichstaGt, only forty
miles from Riga. It is believed there
the Germans will make short shrift
of the seaport with this obstacle over
come
Meanwhile, in the south, there are
indications that the Austrians are con-
templating great invasion of south
ern Russia from East Galicia. Dis
patches from Berlin state the Austrian
general staff plans to launch drive
having for it's object the Black sea
whence the Teutons can rush aid to
the Turks and beat back the allies on
Gallipoli who are attempting to cap
ture Constantinople.
