TO GOVERN ACTION BY
LONDON DECLARATION
Note from Berlin Says That
Government Accepts the
American Suggestion for
Naming of Experts to Fix
Indemnity for Sinking of
the Frye

Washington, D. C., Sept. 23.--Germany
in her latest note of the Frye case, mad
public to-day, notified the United States
that an order has been issued to German
naval forces not to destroy American
merchantmen which have loaded condi'
tional contraband even when the condi'
tions of international law are present
but to permit them to continue their
voyage unhindered if it is not possible to
take them into port.
Germany gave this assurance in order
to furnish the American government evil
dence of its conciliatory attitude.
The note says that while the question
of interpreting the treaty of 1928 is sub
mitted to arbitration, the American sug-
gestion for naming of experts to fix the
indemnity for the sinking of the Frye is
accepted.
As for absolute coltraband, such as
arms and ammunition, Germany states in
its note that il must reserve to itself
the right to destroy vessels carrying abb
solute contraband wherever such destruc-
ton is permissible under the declaration
of London.
The note is regarded by officials here
as evidence of more friendly spirit on
the part of the German foreign office. II
practically insured American vessels
against attack without warning and even
in the event of carrying absolute con-
traband passengers and crew are bound,
according to the declaration of London,
TO be removed before any destruction Of
the vessel.

CHURCH CENSUS IN BARRE
To Be Undertaken Next Week BY Sew
eral Societies.

A number of the churches OF Barre
are uniting in plan to take religious
census OF the city next week. IL has
been five years since such a canvass was
made and during that time there have
been a great many changes, so that the
present parish lists of the churches are
very incomplete. The pastorl are very
anxious to get and keep in touch with
every family and individual in the city
and to see, II possible, that they are
identified with some church.
The canvass next week will be made
by the pastors and volunteer helpers
from their churches, and will be made
solely to get the present church prefer
ence of everyone. If it is possible to do
SO. Then the cards containing this in
formation will be turned over to the
pastor of the church indicated and he
will endeavor to get in touch with them
and enlist them in the work OF his
church.
1t il hoped that everyone will re-
ceive the canvassers cordially and give
them the information they seek. 1t need
hardly be stated that this information
will be held in the strictest confidence.
During the canvass, cards win be dis
tributed cordially inviting everybody to
make October a go-to-church month,
everybody selecting the church of their
choice and making a special effort to at
tend all the services of that church dur
ing the month that they possibly can.
1t is hoped that great good will result
from this canvass, and from the follow
up work that will be done after the can
vass has been made-work that will keep
The churches busy during the winter.

CITY PARK TuRNIPs.

The Eagle was let in on a secret
today and we are told to expect a
beautiful growth Of turnips on our
new city park in the near future.
Some very enteFprising young men,
who believe in diversification, and
personal demonstration OF the allu'
vial value OF Bryan and Brazos coun-
ty soil, II is reported. sowed $50
worth Of turnip seed in the park
while the work OF leveling and har'
rowing the ground was in progress.
The Eagle was unable to learn the
names Of the sewers and an inspec'
ton Of the park today did not show
signs Of the plants coming up, but
the result OF the work will be watch
ed with interest.
