EMPEROR PAID A
VISIT TO TRENCHES
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Rotterdam, Jan. 16.-(Via London)
The Cologne Gazette prints a letter
from German soldier on the western
battle front telling of Emperor Will
liam's visit to the trenches. His
majesty, the soldier said, was in the
best of spirits and in good health.
The writer continues:
''He made splendid speech. He
told us that when in the Argonne he
went to a cave and inspected condi-
tons there and drank wine with an
artillery officer. When the emperor
emerged from the cave he was start
led to see a full company of French
soldiers passing and he drew back
instinctively. His surprise only was
dispelled when an officer remarked
they are only prisoners, your majes-
ty.'"

Let us teach in civics that the
highest duty of citizen is not the
carrying of a gun but in being an
honest decent member of the COM
munity; that CRATER is as much
an enemy of the country as was
eBnedict Arnold-besides he does
more harm; above all not to be so
willing to die for their country for
their country cannot live except in
each of them. In geography let us
try to see the good in the people
beyond the sea. Let us teach
that the people of Mexico are not
a lot of cruel murderers but peo-
pie who have by long period of
oppression and exploitation been
driven into a revolt. They are ig-
norant, of course, but because they
have had no schools. They are
fighting in their imperfect way in
the darkness for what we have
been born to take as matter of
course. That the people of Japan
are not heather fanatics with
queer ways with whom we are
going to war sometime, but high

who do not want war any more

from everything you do.
in all this we lose no real love

Work In Agriculture
In The Summer School

At the 1915 session of the Sum-
mer School for Teachers at Della
ware College two courses in agri-
culture are being offered. One of
these dealing with the general
principles and basic facts under
lying the practice of agriculture
and with methods of using such
material in secondary school
teaching, is designed to acquaint
the teacher with the scope of ag-
ricultural work and enable him to
deal with his specific problems in
a satisfactory manner.
The other course is a special
one in home and school gardening.
The use of the individual school
or home garden is found in many
cases to be very good method of
presenting agricultural work to
pupils in the lower grades, and it
is with the idea of increasing the
use of the garden in the schools
of Delaware that teachers are be-
ing offered this special work.
Each person enrolled in the
garden work is required to plant
and care for a garden throughout
the session. The practical work
is supplemented by lecture and
classroom work. Small home gar
dens made by pupils in the New

DEFINITE STEPS WERE TAKEN BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 AND SECRETARY M'ADoO.
SPECIAL REDISCOUNT LOANS

 and Atlanta.

Washington. Definite steps were taken by the Federal Reserve Board and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo 10 extend aid to cotton growers and to clear the way for handling the fall crop without last years uncertainty and difficulty.
 The board issued new regulations authorizing federal reserve banks to give special rediscount rates on prom lssory notes secured by warehouse re- ceipts for staple agricultural products with the restriction that member banks which avail themselves of this rate must not charge more than six per cent to the borrower
 MT. McAdoo announced he soon would deposit s5,OO0,O0O in gold as an initial deposit in each of the federal reserve banks at Richmond. Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million dollars more is to be deposited later
 The secretary said that if conditions showed the need of deposits elsewhere to aid in handling any other crop he would extend similar aid.
 The new regulations are broad enough to supply to all staple readily marketable crops, but it is we'll known that the cotton crop is the one that has given concern of late
 The board announced that the re- serve banks in Atlanta and Dallas al- ready had requested redlscount rate of three per cent on the sort of paper approved in the regulations.
 The announcements followed meet lngs that have occupied the time of the board and MT McAdoo most of the last two days. The secretary's proposal several months ago of depos- its of government funds in Southern reserve banks alone was not favored by several members of the board, but it was not opposed during the recent discussions. Some members indicat- ed, however, that as the total cotton crop probably would be worth about $S00,000000 they did not think $30,- 100000 would go far toward hand Iiff ss-if-- ~-~--A---- -e=--,-

 PEACE MOYEMfN
CARDINAL GIBBONS, DEAN n| COLLEGE OF CARDINAL c cov
 FERS WITH WILSON

Washington. Cardinal Gihho, dean Of the College of Cardinals. n, sented to President Wilson a con, dential communication from pon Benedict, inviting and urging th, government to cooperate with tn, Vatican and neutral nations to brin, about peace in Europe.
 A conference on the same subiec1 was held later at the State Depart ment between Cardinal Gibbons au Secretary of State Lansing.
 After his visits and confidential ta, to and with the president, Cardinal Gibbons said:
 T think the prospects for peacc| are brightening."
 This statement, expressing the judg1 ment of a representative of the popeI after conferring with President WTl son, is regarded here as indicating that definite results so far as future action by this government and the Vatican are concerned are already being achieved.
 Cardinal Gibbons. the secretary of state and the president declined to reveal the details of the pope's sus- gestion. It was stated at the White House. in fact, that the president would not discuss the subject at all
 Cardinal Gibbons said:
 "I only can tell you that I conveyed to the president message from the holy father, and that the message re lat lated t6 the subject of peace. The message cannot be made public yet; if receive authority, I shall be glad to make it public. The authority must come from Rome and we will have to confer about that.
 'I regard the settlement of the con troversy between the United States and Germany as affording an excep tional opportunity for peace proposals and as having placed the United States in most advantageous posi tion to act in this direction.
 My interview with the presiden was most gratifying. It would, 0 course, be improper for me to speal in detail regarding the conference with the president, but l may say th conference was of a very genial ant happy character. In a general wa Mexico was also discussed"

CARRANZA ISSUES NEUTRALITY ORDERS
MAJ. w. H. HAY, GEN. FUNSTON'S CHIEF OF STAFF TAKES TRIP
 ALONG THE BORDER.
TROOPS ARE ORDERED BACK
General Nafarrat Says He Wished to Cooperate With the Ameri- can Military Au-
 thorities.

Townsville First Chief Venusti- sno Carranza took hand in the Texas border imbroglio, according to state ment by Gen. E. r. Nafarrate, com. manding the Carranza troops opposite the Brownsville section. At the same time Maj w H. Hay, chief of staff for Mai-Gen. Frederick Funston. took 8 trip along the border above here. r. was believed his trip contemplated an important disposition of a small army of American troops, either now here or en route, to enable them better to control the skirmishing across the in- ternational line. For the first time ln several days, none of this intermittent fighting was reported by army patrols or Texas rangers. Gen. Nafarrate said that Gen. Carranza wired him to enforce strict neutrality at this bor- der. Nafarrate said he replied that to do this he must have more troops. Ho is awaiting Gen. Carranzas g answer.
 Nafarrate, saying that he wished to cooperate with the American military authorities, gave the following outline of border fighting, as reported from his side of the line:
 We have received orders from First Chief Carranza to strictly ob. serve neutrality and not to help in any way tho Texas revolutionists Un- friendly reports have said several times that our men have crossed to the Texas side to fight. That is wrong. because our review list the first of this month shows no man is missing We have given order to our officers not once but three times, not to fire on American troops. even if they fire on us. Two days ago we received a telegram that at Cavazos crossing Texas rangers and Sheriff Bakers men came to the American side of the river and fired on our troops, killing two ci. williams and Wounding one Carranza of fcer. This officer did not order ais men to return the fire, but instead to retire immediately from the river bank. He had orders Tot to shoot, and he did not shoot"

BERLIN ACCEPTS
 DEMAND OF U. s.
AMBASSADOR VON RERNSTORFF SAYS NO MORE LINERS TO BE
 SUNK WITHOUT WARNING.

Washington. Strained relations many over submarine warfare appar- ently ended after Count von Bern storff. the German ambassador, in- formed Secretary Lansing in writing that before the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that its submarines should sink no more liners without warning
 Oral assurances to this effect were given by the ambassador last week. But it was not until Count von Born storff, after a call at the State De- partment, returned to the embassy and sent a letter to MT Lansing quot ing instructions from Berlin concern ing an aswer to the last American note on the sinking of the LuTltania, that officials admitted thei- sratifica- tion over Germany's cf,Age of heart
 Count von Bernstorff's letter fol- lows:
 My Dear MT Secretary-With ref erence tc our conversation. 1 beg to infoym you that my instructions con- corning our answer to your last Lusi- tania note contains the following pas sage:
 Liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and with ont safety of the lives Of nepeon h2 [ ants. provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.
 Although I know you do not wish to discuss the Lusitania question un- til the Arabic incident has been deti- nitely and satisfactorily settled, l de- sire to inform you of the above be- cause this policy of my government was decided on before the Arabic in cident occurred
 T have no objection to your mak- ing any use you may wish of the above information.
 T remain, my dear MT. Lansing,
 "Yours very sincerely,
 "J. von Bernstorff.' .'
 Secretary Lansing interpreted ''lin- er'' as used in the letter to mean all peaceful merchant ships. Later in conversation the German ambassador explained that regular passenger yes sels were meant. There seemed to be no disposition. however, to question the intention of the Berlin government to grant u E fundamental demands ot the United,N fates.
