SENATE WANTS FACTS
ON MEXICAN SITUATION

4 Washington, Jan. 6. Mexico fur
nished the vehicle for another dis
.cussion of foreign relations on the
floor Of the senate today. It preceded
the adoption without. opposition Of a
resolution offered by Senator Falls
calling on President Wilson for all
available information bearing upon the
recognition Of the Carranza govern
ment by the United States,
& Senators Falls and Lodge spoke in
support Of athe resolution, insisting
that the president saould inform con-
gress fully concerning the situation be
fore the naming Of an ambassador to
Mexico was confirmed. u
Senator Williams diverted attention
from Mexico in the course Of the de-
bate by commenting at length uDon
questions arising from the European
war. He said an embargo on exports
Of munitions would "ham-string" the
United States more than any other
Efirst-class power.

Won't Admit Wrong,
But VIII Pay Damage

Washington, Jan. Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
presented to Secretary Lansing pro-
posal to pay indemnity for the Amer
leans lost in the Lusitana disaster,
and thereby conclude that contro-
versy. He gave assurances that any
German submarines in the Mediter-
ranean would not attack non-combat-
ant ships of any character without
warning or destroy them without op-
portunity for non-combatants to
reach a place of safety
While offering to pay indemnity in
the Lusitania case, Germany makes
the reservation that it is done without
an admission of wrong doing.
No official indication is given as to
the acceptability of the proposal but
one set of American officials took the
view that it would end the contro-
versy. The assurance regarding sub
marine warfare in the Mediterranean
are broader in scope than those after
the Arabic disaster.

The secretary assured Chairman
Hay that army officers whom he had
directed to be in readiness to appear

Farmers Mutual Insurance Co.
Makes Great Showing for Year

On Tuesday, Jan. 4, the board of di-
rectors of the Barnes County Farmers
Mutual Insurance company held their
regular stated meeting for the pur-
pose of auditing and cleaning up the
business Of the company for the past
year.
Those present were J. R. Getchell.
Hugh Mcdonald, VIM. Olson, Nels
Olson, Louis Noltimier, Samuel Flet-
cher, G. E. Schilling, George Rasmus-
son and Tom Gudmestad.
Secretary w. w. Smith submitted
his report for the year 1915, showing
that the company had paid out in loss
es and on order of the board the sum
of $11,955.26 and that all bills had
been paid, the balance on hand Dec.
81 being $1,60O.21. ,
During the year 1915 the company
had IS loss claims filed, all of which
have been adjusted and settled ex-
cepting five claims where the COM
pany denied liability, said losses hav-
ing been occasioned by hail, which the
company does not insure against.
During the year 1915, the company
issued 1872 policies covering total Of
insurance written of $574,S15, which
added to the insurance in force at the
beginning of. the year, and deducting
insurance cancelled and expired, left
in force Dec 81 $2.S41 1922, or nearly
three million dollars insurance, being
a net increase written during 1915 of
SCI 1925, the membership being increas-
ed by addition Of 40 new members.
The directors were exceedingly
gratitied with the healthy prosperous
condition of the affairs of the company.
and in discussing the proposition Of
reinsurance it was the sense of the
board that there was nothing to be
gained by increasing the limit of in
| surance carried by the company. even
though arrangements could be made
to re-insure part of the risks; as the
members were now obtaining reliable
insurance at nominal cost, and would
not be benefited by associating with
any other company
Although the company's cash bal
ance is small, there are no liabilities
and there being nearly three million
dollars insurance in force among it's
policy holders in Barnes county.
small assessment (Which is always
promptly paid up) would bring in a
large surplus, and it is likely that dur
ing October, 1916, small assessment
will be levied.
| During the 81 years the company
has been successfully operating there
have been but nine assessments lev
led, and the Barnes County Farmers
Mutual Insurance company has saved
the farmers a substantial sum in the
cost of their insurance.
