Relief in Berlin

BERLIN, Feb 9.-(via London)-A momentary feeling of relief has been evoked here by a special New York dispatch to the F'rankfurter Zeitung in which the correspondent says he has heard "on good Washington authority" that the Lusitania crisis is "as good as settled"
 This dispatch although not re- published in Berlin. was generally circulated here last night and this morning. and it is understood that several Berlin newspapers received similar dispatches but did not publish them.
 The Associated Press learns au- thortatively that nothing has been re- ceived by the German authorities from Count von Bernstorff. the am bassador at Washington to justify this optimism. In fact the foreign office is still awaiting a report on the effect of it's latest communication tc 1 the American government. In tho meantime there is no change | in the submarine situation, on which | the diplomatic developments of tho next few days may exert a powerful l influence.

none other than a good roads day. Of course Good Roads Day could be cele- brated without lifting a hand. But that is not the kind of publication needed. There is a stretch of road between Phoenix and Tempe, situated in the National Park, which is sadly in need of a little polishing. To go out with a large collection of picks, shovels, hoes and scrapers, all manned by husky men folks, is the object of the fiesta,
 In the opinion of any number of pub lie spirited citizens who have been in terviewed on the subject, the plan is a worthy one. Most every one will agree with that, but it is less of a job to say it is worthy, than to come out and demonstrate the fact by using a little energy. To this class of people a di rect appeal is being made.

is in sight, probably within the next few days. The United States has not increased it's demands; it has not reduced them You can draw your own conclusion as to the basis of the agreement. The wording pro- posed by Germany appears to cover the position of the United States. It is not fair to assume that there will have to be any further admissions or concessions from Berlin
 He added that the proposal was Substantially satisfactory"
 Germany agrees in the proposed communication that reprisals should not be directed at other than enemy subjects. expresses regret and as sumes liability for the American lives lost in the Lusitania disaster, offers reparation in the form of indemnity, and declares that the submarine war fare in the zone around the British Isles has been modified out of regard for the long standing friendship for the United States and because Amer
 can citizens have lost their lives. The communication also calls atten- tion to previous assurances that lin CTS should not be sunk without warn ing and without provision for the safety of non -cOmbatants and that the instructions given to submarine commanders in this respect have been made so stringent that there can be no recurrence of such incidents The decision to submit to Berlin the changes suggested to Count von Bernstorff, it is generally believed, was actuated by a desire to obviate any possibility that the communica = ton later might be repudiated be- cause of a slight difference in lang uage. The ambassador, it was eX- plained, had to be careful not to eX- ceed his instructions in the slightest degree
 Officials appeared to be reluctant to proclaim what achievements have
 been gained There were indications
 that this was caused by probable con-
 sideration for the political situation | in Germany. It is believed in var
 ious quarters that it would be most
 undesirable at this time to have the German governmental majority made
 the target for resentful public opin-
 ion which might act in favor of the
 minority with which Admiral vor
 Tirpitz is affiliated. Such situation it is considered might lead to the
 upsetting of everything that ha' been accomplished.

COMMISSIONERS OF FAIR HOLD
 SESSION TO-DAY

ArizOnas state fair for the year 1916 is going to be the biggest and best one ever held, and it is going to be held probably two weeks earlier than has heretofore been the custom.
 The three commissioners of the state fair will begin a session this morning and, following the adjournment of the sessions, the date for holding the fair and numerous other details regarding the coming big show will be made pub lie.
 Commissioner Homer R. Wood of Yavapai county and C. NJ Roberts of Cochise county arrived in the city yes terday for the meeting, and Commis- sloner R. G. Layton of Thatcher will arrive this morning. The sessions will be held at the office of Secretary Tom Shaughnessy at the fair grounds and will continue until Friday evening.
 The commission has under consider ation number of plans and proposals which will go far to making the 1916 fair one of the snappiest and most profitable ones ever held. The fair of 1915 resulted in a slight deficit and in order to prevent a repetition of this unpleasantness, arrangements will be made for retrenchments along certain lines. It is understood that some of the auto and harness events will be cur tailed and that the purses will be frightened a bit, but in the main no changes will be made in the program for the holding of these events. and an enjoyable time is promised to all lovers Of will be made at the present meeting for the satisfactory discharge of all of the indebtedness which is at present hanging over the commission
 The commission has under considera- ton bill which will be presented to the next legislature which will provide for appropriations on a budget system, instead of the haphazard gifts of money winch the state at the present time makes for the support of the fair 1t IS planned to have the state treasurer handle the money for the organiza tion.
 part cf today's program will be gwen over to d conference with the committee from the chamber of com merce, which has been appointed to CO., operate with the fair commission. the local committee being headed bv H. NJ. Fennemore.
 Some of the events which the com
 mission has under contemplation for this years fair are a motorcycle day and a special automobile day. the lat ter to be held, perhaps, on the last day ot the fair. Motorcycle events will be given an especially prominent place on the program this year. owing to the Tact that at the last fair this kind of sport proved to be a big drawing card It IS planned to eliminate the long grind or the hundred mile motOrbike event ana substitute therefor race to be rrIn within certain specified time. say one or two hours, and have the contest ants stop on the firing of the gun that announces that the time is up The members of the commission are inclined to feel somewhat iubilant over the fact that the fair of 1915 was con- ducted with an expense list of some | lhlhS like S25,OO0 less than the one of | 1914, and they now believe that with | d proper supervision of the various ! lunds for the coming event, a like say | Ing can be effected. At this meeting l all of the various department heads will be named.

The fear of war seems to be taking hold of our people. Where have all our millions for defense gone? If the fabulous sums we have appropriated have not been spent for defense of this country how, in the name of common sense, can we prove that the millions now proposed to be spent will be spent properly for defense? Either congress has been putting up a stupendous bluff in this country, or else there is a darn sight more in this subject than We know"
 Other representatives of the Ma tional Grange and Farmers Union also voiced what they said was the opposi- tion of farmers to great army and navy appropriations.
