End Is Far AWAY.

Washington, Feb. l7.-Further and
apparently interminlble negotiations
over submarine warfare confronted the
United States government today with
the Lusitania settlement Blocked, tenn
porarily at least, the diplomatic situa,
tion generally tangled.
The administration will not accept
the Lusitlnia settlement, now in its
hands, until the effect of the Teuton
decree announcing its intention to at
tack armed merchantmen is determined.
Germany may postpone operations of
this decree pending negotiations over it,
Ambassador Won Bernstorff was ex-
peeted today at the state department,
to be told that written assurances are
wanted that the decree will not apply
to passenger liners armed for defen-
sive purposes and that the government
does not dare to proceed with the Lus.
itania settlement until Germany g
course toward merchantmen is uneauiv-
ocally defined.
German embassy officials professed
surprise at the postpOnement of the
Lusitania case, and thought tnat this
might have a bad effect on German
public opinion. They were confident
however, that Germany will Willingly
give further assurances against attacks
upon passenger liners.
Meanwhile, the administration plan.
to exert pressure upon the allies to in
duce them to comply with the American
general note seeking disarmament OF
merchantmen.

.LUSITAN|A DISPUTE
IN HOPELESS TANGLE
Germany's Position on Armed
Merchantmen Prevents
Settlement

Washington, Feb. 17,-Great Britain
must pledge that her liners will not
fire upon German submarines, before
Germany will instruct her undersea
commanders not to attack armed mer-
chantmen without warning.
This is Germany's counter proposal
in answer to Americas objection to the
Teuton decree proposing such unwarned
attacks, it became known after 20
minute informal conference today be-
tween Ambassador Bernstorff and Sec
retary of State Lansing.
Germany and America, it was learned,
are agreed upon the Lusitania sette-l
ment except that the United States
considers further submarine questions,
as well as those of the past, must be
cared for. Lansing is understood to
have insisted upon adherence to the
previously proclaimed American stand
for the right of merchantmen to arm
for defensive purposes.
Bernstorff indicated that he must
ask his home government for instruc.
tions before meeting American terms,
and he does not expect to see the sec,
retary before next week.
The Austrian decree for attacks. civ.
en- out by the department today, are
similar to Germany's orders.

London, Feb 17-Between 10000 and 100000 Turks
together with many guns fell into Russian hands when
Grand Duke Nicholas forces captured the important
Turkish Armenian city of Erzerum said unofficial PetrO
grad messages today.
The garrison that wthstood the onsaughts of
Nicholas men for several days, is estimated to have
been 100000 while the modern forts thanking the city
mounted more than 1000 guns. There is nothing how
ever, to indicate how many escaped
The fact that the city fell within five days after storm
ing operations started makes it possible that the captures
large. Moreover the ordinary exits from the city
were few Then too the city surrounded and heavy
SHOWS made the highways impossible so that it is be-
lieved that thousands failed to escape
Inasmuch as many of the captured guns were modern
Krupps they may prove to be of great value in further
Slav operations
The city is believed to have been afame when the
Russians entered but whether any of the Mosques or
government buildings were saved, is unknown.

soldiers were killed by Mexieans on
American soil during the 1913 to 1918
inclusive period.
The president explained he had recog-
nized Carranza in preference to VIVA
because the regime of the latter seemed
to be disintegrating while the Carran-
zistas had ndisputed possession or
three-fourths Of Mexico.

the president held. The chief executive
admitted that there are many bandits

ly and that sporadic outrages may be
expected for some time.
Reasonably adequate protection is
being afforded, however" said the mes
sage.
The president declined to make pub
lie papers bearing on international po-
litieal conditions in Mexico, as he held
this would be incompatible with the
public interest.
The senate ordered the report printed
as a public document. In form it is
simply the presidents letter transmit

Lansing, answering Senator Falls ques-
tions and also giving various documents

petrograd, Feb. 17.-Petrogrld gave
itsel1 over to repoicing today and the
crowds in the streets made made holi-
day over the fall of Erzerum before
Grand Duke Nicholas forces. Plags
decorated houses and public buildings.
Hymns of thanksgiving arose from
thousands Of throats.
In the dimly lighted Kazan cathedral
throngs chanted the te deum, while 9TH
ers massed outside in the snow, prayed
for the grand duke and hailed him as
the national hero.
The capture of Erzerum, the first i'm
pOrtant Muscovite victory since the re-
treat from the Carpathians year ago,
stirred the city to new patriotism, while
the newspapers declared it tne prelude
to Russian clearing of Poland and Gal
icia before summer.
Details of the capture are lacking,
though it is reported that the Turks are
moving westward, abandoning part of
their artillery. This may mean that
most of the garrison escaped from the
beleaguered city during or after the
five days attack of the duke 5 men.
Experts now believe that the Turks
must abandon their proposed campaign
against Egypt, inasmueh as the British
forces, soon to be heavily reinforced,
are only l1O miles from Bagdad while
the Slavs are heading westward through
Armenia. With these two forces thus
near to forming a formidable alliance,
it is thought the Turks will scarcely
risk a drive against the Suez canal.

SURVEYING PARTY
GIVES RISE TO NEW
RUMORS OF RAILROAD
Line Extends In SOutheaSterly
Direction From 0. {.
Depot

The sight Of strange surveyors plant
ing stakes inside the city limits Of Sa-
lem yesterday and today has given rise
to numerous rumors of new railroad.
Local railroad officials deny any def
mite knowledge Of the proposed rail
road but the indications point to the
fact that it may be an extension Of the
Oregon Electric lines. The two sur.
veys start from the Oregon Electric
depot at the corner of High and State
streets according to the station num-
bers on the stakes.
One survey extends down High street
from State street and follows the bank
Of South Mill creek around back Of
Fry's hill, then cuts across the corner
of the Blind school lot and goes on
out through Bush 8 pasture. The 9th
er line extends up the creek across
Church street and reaches Bush s pas.
ture on the east side Of the blind
school.
The Mount line has not shown any
activity in the field for some time
which has given rise to the belief that
Mr. Mount was not backed by either Of
the two larger roads in this city and it
is believed that the Mount boom has

In towns where proposed railroads
are frequent it is well known that it is
far cry from the preliminary survey
to the footing Of the whistle of the first
train but Salem has not been enlivened
by a real railroad rumor for some time
which probably accounts for the I'M
usual interest which is being taken in
the strange surveyors.

by. rescuers in small boats sought today

The situation there, increasingly dan

Thousands Of acres Of farm land are
under water, while new town, Ostrica,
La, has been added to the list of sub

Houses have been swept away at
many places, livestock has perished, and
there are fears that there may be a
number Of casualties unless the situa-
tion is relieved at an early moment.
Many workers are strengthening the
