ening. He goes back to the be-
ginning of the war and refers
to Great Britian's proposal for a
conference. Germany deliber.
ately refused to settle her quar-
rel by peaceful means. Then,
says Sir. Edward Grey, II re-
quested Germany to select some
form of mediation, some method
OF peaceful settlement of her
own" She would not do this.
Then the Emperor of Russia pro-
posed to Germany to send the
dispute to the Hague tribunal.
Neither the proposal of England
nor the suggestion of the Car
OF Russia was accepted. Ac-
cording to Sir Edward Grey it
was case of Europe su bmitting
to the Teutonic will or going to
war"
An English paper commenting
upon these facts says Germany
wanted war and she wanted it
because she thought she was
strong enough to impose her will
by force of arms and to shatter
all who opposed her. She has
involved large part of the world
in war and has, so far, not much
to show for it.

matter to get some farmers to
plant cover crops. Some claim
that it costs too much; others
that they have not the time, and
still others ale so Indifferent
that they give it very little if
any thought at all. All those
who have tried and succeeded
have good crops growing on the
same land now. Those who fail
to put in cover crops, are now
blaming the bad weather, or poor
fertilizing for their poor stands

JOINT CHASE PLAN
OF MEXICAN CHIEF
CARRANzA WOULD MAKE AGREE
MENT TO PREVENT DANGER
OF CONFLICT.
Terms Of Formal Convention Would
be Designed to Meet All Questions
Which May Arise in Future
in Man Hunt.

Washington.-The de facto govern
ment of Mexico has proposed to the
United States the drafting of a proto-
col, under which American and Next
can troops may cooperate In running
to earth Francisco Villa and his ban
dts, without danger of misunderstand-
ing or conflict. The terms or such a
formal convention would be designed
to meet all questions which may arise
in the future, setting forth the rights
of the American expeditionary forces
now in pursuit of the bandit chieftain
and the nature of the cooperation ex-
pected from the troops of the Carran-
"a government.
These facts became known at the
conclusion of a conference on Monday
between EIiseo Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador designate, and Acting Sec
rotary Polk of the state department.
Negotiations on the details will be in
progress for several days, but the two
governments are in agreement ON the
general principles involved.
Meanwhile, however, the troops of
the de facto government actually are
cooperating with the American forces
and, according to information received
by the war department, are planning
to render even greater assistance.
High military officials allowed it to
become known that the Carranza gov
eminent had promised to move a
large force of it's troops from central
Mexico to the north, forming a trap
into which the American cavalrymen
under General Pershing may chase
Villa and his followers.
