Lansing Gets Draft Embodyin8
 Changes Suggested By Berlin
MAY BE ACCEPTED BY U. s.
Ifeslucnt Wilson Alone Can Decide whether Controversy Between Ger many and America Will Be Ended By New Step.

Washington, Feb. 16.--Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, today presented to Secretary Lansing the latest draft of the Lusitania agreement, embodying the changes suggested by Berlin. The indications were that the agreement in it's pres ent form probably would be accept able to the United States.
 When Count Won Bernstorff came from MT. Lansing's office after a visit of less than ten minutes he said:
 "Gentlemen, l refer you to the sec retary of state.'
 Almost at the same time MT. Lansing sent out this messagc:
 T have nothing to say"
 Satisfactory To Lansing.
 Count Won Bernstorff presented for 1nally the draft of the agreement and 1t is understood was informed it could not be accepted as final until it had been submitted to President Wilson. The indications were it seemed, satis- factory to Secretary Lansing
 As now drawn and formally signed by the German ambassador, the agree ment Is in reply to the last American note. It begins with reference to the formal assurances given by Ger many last September that submarines would not sink unresisting liners without warning and regard for the safety of life aboard, and that the instructions to submarine command CTS were so definite as to allow of no misunderstanding
 Reprisal for Blockade.
 It then states that the submarine JIvo efoy nd f1o D.;@ a reprisal for what is characterized as the 'inhumane" blockade of Great Britain to starve the Central Powers, and then promises indemnity for lost on the Lusitania and expressed profound regret" for their deaths.
 It goes on to say that the German government, recognizing liability for thelr loss makes the proposals con- tanned in the draft submitted today and then goes on to deal with the of reprisals against others than enemy subjects. The change which the Berlin foreign office has made in the wording of the latter pro- posal has not been publicly disclosed, but from them air of optimism which prevailed today there was a general impression that the changes of it's de- laying the negotiations were slight.
 Wilson To Decide.
 The Lusitania negotiations have ap- preached the settling point so many times only to be delayed by new de- velopments, that administration off, cials today were not ready to say that the final draft was entirely acceptable, for, they explained no one but Presi- dent Wilson himself could decide that The fact that the agreement before the last revision was Substantially in accord' with the views of the presi- dent leads them to a confident belief that the long controversy surrounded by so many dangerous perp1exites was at last coming to a close.

SAYVILLE CENSORS HELD
 UP GERMAN REPORT
U. s. Asked to Explain Why Loss of British Cruiser
 Was Suppressed.

1 Washington, Feb. 16-The German i government, through Count Won ! Bernstorff, it's ambassador here, today 1 formally asked the United States to 1 explain why the American wireless l censors at Sayville suppressed the l official announcement of the German ] admiralty of the reported sinking in i the North Sea of the British cruiser Arabis on February II.
 News reporting the loss of the Arabis reached the United States from Berlin via. London, passing through the British censorship. On February 12, however, a Berlin wireless direct via Sayville was passed, saying that another ship in addition to the Arabis had been sunk in the same engage nent.
 At the navy department it is ad- mitted that Berlin official dispatches have been suppressed by the Say vile censors because they considered them coming under the inhibition of Secretary Daniels orders permitting passage of war despatches provided no reference is made to movements or location of war or other vessels of belligerents."
 It is explained that this order was made in the interest of neutrality and the fact that tthe German gov ernment itself authorized the Arabis announcement is not considered to have altetred the situation. The question probably will be taken up by officials more fully.
 The British government contends that the ships destroyed were mine SWeepers

He added: Certain rejected despatches contained internal official admiralty announcements of naval actions which the British censors passed for publication in England"

nnooks fon rHF SENATE

After giving long and careful con.
federation 10 the claims and qualifi-
cations OF the different candidates in
the race for the United States senats
this paper has decided 70 lend Us
support 20 a man whose moral char
acter cannot be assaulted. whose IN.
tegrity Is above reproach and whose
public career does not bear single
stain.
That man Is Dr. samuel Palmer
Brooks Of waco. president Of Bay-
Tor university. and for years one Of
the leading opponents OF christian
ocuca,ion in the country. From a
hard working farmer boy IN John
son county to the presidehcy OF one
OF the leading universities Of the
state IT. far cry, but that was an
ambition achieved by Or. Brooks
before he was forty years old. Dr.
Prooks is = native of Georgia and
Lis father was a Baptist preacher,
v ho heard the call OF the west many
years ago and moved with bis family
10 johnson county. Fer few years
he worked on the farm much after
the same prosaic fashion Of other
toys. but because OF the limited
school facilities of those days he
vas unable TO attain bis ambition OF
securing an education At the age
OF twenty he began work on rail-
road as section hand and with the
money earned from hard Labor he
crtered Baylor university, gradual
ing from that institution at the age
OF thirty. Nine years later he was
made president OF his alma mater.
Although he has never before
sought office DR.. Brooks has for
number OF years taken an active In.
terest In politics, and has never
championed an unworthy canse. Dr..
Brooks is a high toned christian
gentleman, and his record Ia public
life Is absolutely clean aud untarn-
ished. His life Is an open book Ia
which not a biemish can be round.
The people OF Texas will make no
mistake IL they elect him to the
United States senate.
