NOTES NOT THREAT,
ASSERTS LANSING
Secretary Issues Statement
Qualifying One He Made Re-
garding Communication.
FALSE INFERENCEs DRAWN

Washington. Dec. 2l.-Secretary
Lansing late today issued a state
mcnt amplifying and qualifying the
one he made this morning regarding
the presidents notes TO the belliger-
ents, besause, he said, he feared some
incorrect inferences were being
drawn from his first utterance.
Secretary Lansing said his purpose
in making the second statement was
to make it clear beyond question that
there was no change in the policy Of
neutrality of the United States.
Secretary Lansing also said his
purpose in anlplifying his statement
was to make it plain that the notes
to the bclligerents should in no sense
be construed as threat to any of
the governments.
Secretary Lansing's statement fol-
lows:
81 have learned from several quar-
ters that wrong impression was
made by the statement which | made
this morning, and | wish to correct
that impression.
"My intention was to suggest the
very direct and necessary interest
which this country. as one OF the neu-
tral nations, has i'll the possible terms
which the beligerents may have in
mind, and | do not intend to intimate
that the government was considering
any change in its policy of neutrality,
which il has consistently pursued in
the face Of constantly increasing dif-
hcutes.
81 regret that my words were open
to any other construction, as | now
realize that they were. think that
the whole tone and language of the
note to the belligerents show the
purpose without further comment on
my part 1t is needless to say that |
am unrescrvedly i'll support OF that
purpose and hope to see it accepted"

mated to be worth about $4,000, is
provided for as follows: e --

G. 0. DRAYTON AGAIN
HEADS Big UNION
Re elected President of Ma
tional Farmers organiza-
tipn for Seventh Term.
BUY OFFICIAL
PAPER

For the seventh successive time c.
o. Drayton Of Greenville, ILL.,, has
been elected president of the National
Farmers Equity union. The election
was unanimous at the meeting at the
Hotel Castle yesterday afternoon.
There had been some whispered
talk of piet opposition to his re-
election, but when nominations were
thrown open, no opposition developed
and no other candidate appeared on
the field.
The Equity Union then vote to
buy the Equity-Union Exchange Of
President Drayton. The Exchange is
the official paper to the union,
though it was founded and owned up
to this time by President Drayton
personally. There was a feeling that
that the organ should be owned by
the organization, as there was a tend
ency from some quarters to criticize
the private ownership of the organi-
zation's paper,
To Give Full Value.
President Drayton offered to turn
in over OF the organization at cost,
but il was voted to have the prop
erty appraised and give him what
ever the paper is now worth, so that
his efforts in building it up in the
past years might not be entirtly un-
recompensed.
Mr.. Drayton told something OF the
founding Of the little paper. He
said he had mortgaged his home to
raise the money to found the paper,
A Hoffman OF Leola, S. D., was
elected vice president G. L. Denny
of Greenville, ILL.,. will in all prob
ability be re-appointed secretary for

president.
Omaha is again in the lists for the
meeting place of the next convention.
This is to be decided later by the
directors. This is the second lear
that the convention has been held in
Omaha. The delegates like Omaha,
and so expressed themselves in their
resolutions.
Ballard Dunn, representing the
Western Railway association, spoke
on the railway situation and the car
shortage. He blamed the war largely
for the car shortage, as he said the
shipping had been greatly increased,
and he held that the public should
