qotiations to Compensate for
Rights in Canal Route.

tions Of new treaty with Costa RIGA
designed to compensate the latter coun-

the route.
Although no price has been fixed for
al option on Costa Rica's rights in the
waterway, it is understood that ST.

Budget Is Adopted Providing for Ap
preparation of $4,000 for the
State Fair.

Madison.-The election Of a secre.
tary was put over until Feb. 2 by the
Wisconsin state board of agriculture.
Indications are Oliver E. Remey of
Milwaukee will be chosen to succeed
James Mackenzie of Madison. Mr..
Remey has been in charge of publicity
of the state fair.
A deficit of $4,000 is reported by
the secretary. The board adopted a

will be used to wipe out the deficit
and provide working balance.
The board will ask an appropriation
of $4,000 the following year.
Besides rebuilding structures des-
troyed by the cyclone which hit the
fair grounds in Milwaukee last year,
it is planned to erect an auditorium.
This would be used for meetings and
sacred concert, provided the next
fair is held over Sunday.
The board decided to grant the use
" the fair grounds to the public
schools Of Milwaukee for athletic pur.
poses.

London, Jau. 26.-The official state
ment from the British admiralty con-
tains no mention of the reported sink

North seao engagement. The German
statement, however, was transmitted
by wireless to London and passed"
by cable to New York.
London, Jan. 26.--An attempt by
q German cruiser squadron to re-
peat the attack recently made on
Scarborough, the Hartlepools and
other British coast towns was frus-
trated by the British patrolling squad

man armored cruiser Bluecher was
sunk and two German battle cruisers
were seriously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. So far as is known
only 1913 Of the Bluecher's crew Of
s85 We're saved.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers, accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty.
The British were superior in ships
engaged, weight of armament and
speed, and the flight of the German
ships into the mine and submarine in
tested field possibly saved them from
further losses.
8luecher Re-riaged Last Year.
The Bluecher was a cruiser of 49,
$50 tons displacement, and although
commissioned in 1908, was complete
ly re-rigged last year. She was not
classed as a hattle-Cruiser, but was in
the next class to those formidable
fighters. With her were the Derfiinger,
Germany's latest battle cruiser, which
had just left the builders hands, and
the battle cruisers Seydlitz and Mott
Ike, the latter sister ship Of the
Goeben, formerly of the German, but
now of the Turkish feet, which was
recently reported damaged by the
Russians In the Black Sea.
The British squadron. commanded
by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who
also was in command at the battle
off Helgoland last August, consisted
OF the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion,
Princess Royal, New Zealand and In
domitable. The first three of these
cruisers mount eight 1876 inch guns
each, and even the New Zealand and
Indomitable carry II inch guns, which
are equal to those Of the Derfinger,
the only one Of the German ships that
had better than IL inch guns.

DEFENDS BELGIAN INVASION
GERMAN CHANCELLOR DENIES
NEUTRALITY PACT BELlTTLEn.
Declares He is Surprised That Phrase

favorable impression.

General Field Headquarters Of the
German Armies, Tin France) via Ber-
lin and London, Jan. 26.--"I am sur
prised to learn that my phrase a
scrap of paper which ] used in my
last conversation with the British am
bassador in reference to the Belgian
neutrality treaty, should have caused
such an unfavorable impression in the
United States The expression was
used in quite another connection, and
the meaning implied In Sir William
Edward Goschen's report and the turn
given to it in the biased comment of
our enemies are undoubtedly respon-
sible for this impression
The speaker was DR.. Theobald Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, the German impe-
rial chancellor, and the conversation
occurred at the German army field
headquarters in town of northern
France, and in villa serving as the
office and dwelling for the imperial
chancellor, for the foreign minister,
Gottlieb Won Jagow, and for the mem
bers of the diplomatic suite accom-
panying Emperor William afield.
The chancellor apparently had not
relished the subject until his attention
was called to the extent which the
phrase had been used in discussion of
the responsibility of the war, He then
volunteered to give an explanation of
his meaning. In substance 1t was that
he had spoken of the treaty not as q
scrap Of paper for Germany, but "as
an instrument which had become OBJ
solete through Belgium's forfeiture Of
it's neutrality; and that Great Bri-
tain had quite other reasons for en-
tering into the war, compared with
which the neutrality treaty appeared
to have only the value OF scrap of
paper.
My conversation with Sir William
Edward Goschen," said the Chancellor,
occurred Aug. 4. had just declared
in the reichstag that only dire neces-
sity and only the struggle for exist
ence compelled Germany to march
through Belgium, but that Germany
was ready to make compensation for
the wrong committed"
