on this subject.
Has Nothing to Do With Location.
The statement was made in one pa-
per that am planning to make tour
Of West Texas and lay plans for the
selection Of the city where the new
schooL-wil. be established. There il
no justification whatever for this as
sertion. ! am not q member of the
locating commission and have no in
tention to take part In the location
Of this institution unless l am invited
to do so by the legally constituted
commission designated in the bill for
this purpose.
l must say frankly. however. hat I
am greatly interested in the location
Of the college. An unwise location
would greatly interfere with the prog
ress and development Of the institu-
ton. Whether have anything to do
with the administration Of the insti.

the best possible location will be Sc
lected, and I have the utmost conf
dence that the locating commission
designated in the bill will select the
best available place within the pre-
scribed territory. .t5
In conclusion let me say that I
have not sought the duties and re-
possibilities Of administering the
West Texas Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college and John Tarleton Agri-

ignate me as the administrative head

The only possible way to develop a

education as now provided for In the
State will be through unified system
Of higher education.

GERMAN INTRIGUE AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES.

One of the most astounding and
sensational developments Of the pend
ing controversy between Germany
and the United States was barred to
the public view this week. The AS
ISOLATED Press gave out statement
from Washington on Wednesday to
the effect that positive evidence had
been revealed that Germany, in plan
ming it's campaign of submarine
ruthlessness, proposed an alliance
with Mexico and Japan to make war
on the United States in the event this
country should not maintain its posi-
ton of neutrality.
1t was stated that instructions for
the presentation of this proposal and
the conduct of negotiations for carry
ing the plan into effect were issued
by German Foreign Minister thinner
mann at Berlin, January 10, 1917,
and transmitted to the German am
bassador to Mexico, Won Eckhart,
through Count Won BernstroH = then
German ambassador to the United
States.
The conspiracy contemplated that
Mexico should offer to mediate be-
tween Germany and Japan, and that
the former Mexican provinces now
constituting Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona should be invaded and re-
stored to Mexico.
The Associated Press declared that
the German foreign minister's note
is in the hands of the United States
government, and this statement has
been confirmed as Substantially cor
rect" by Secretary of State Lansing
and President Wilson, in response to
a resolution of inquiry adopted by the
senate on Thursday. 1t is not sur
prising that this exposure of German
duplicity and hostility, following
closely on the sinking without warn
ing of the Cunard liner Laconia with
American passengers, three of whom
lost their lives, should have expedited
congressional action on the request
of President Wilson that authority be
given him to arm American mer-
chant vessels for their own protec-
ton on the high seas. A resolution
comforting this authority passed the {
house of representatives on Thursday
by vote Of 403 yeas to Is nays, and |
similar action was expected in the
senate yesterday.

Sudden Death of Gen. Funston.

Major General Frederick Funston,
in command of the southern depart
ment of the United States army, and
one Of the most intrepid, capable and
popular officers in the country's mill
tary service, died suddenly of acute
indigestion a few minutes after he
had finished dinner at hotel in San
Antonio, Texas, the evening of Feb.
10. Gen. Funston was only 81 years
of age, and his military career, though
comparatively brief for an officer of
his high rank, was characterized by
brilliant achievements in Cuba, the
Philippines and Mexico. His remains
were taken to San Francisco, where
thousands of people viewed them "
ing in state before interment.

TRIBUTE TO CAPABLE OFFICIAL
Regret Expressed at Retirement of
Mayor Walter Lemann.

The following wall-merited encc-
MUM of Mayor Walter Lemann of
Donaldsonville is quoted from the cur
rent issue of Louisiana Municipal
ties, an ably-edited and interesting
monthly review of municipal progress
and problems published as the of
fetal journal of the League of Louisi-
ana Municipalities
municipalities notices with great
deal of regret that Hon. Walter Lee
mann, mayor of Donaldsonville, has
refused to stand for reelection and
his successor has already been select
ed by the Democratic executive COM
mittee of that city. Lemann is an
earnest, honest, capable man, there
fore he brought to the discharge of
his duties as chief executive an I'M
usual amount of intelligence and
energy, but he felt that he had served
his town as long as he ought at the
expense of his private affairs. 1t is
particularly unfortunate for the
of Louisiana that such
men as Lemann cannot make of
work career unless they
are willing to offer themselves en-
tirely to do much and receive little,
either in gratitude or pecuniary COM
oensation."

BREAK GROUND MONDAY
ON BIG SUBWAY LOOP
McNichol Concern to Start Work
at Once on Key to Transit
System

The Keystone State Construction Com
pany on Monday morning will break ground
for the subway delivery loop at Eighth and
Locust streets. Although no ceremonies
will mark the beginning Of the work, the
breaking of ground nevertheless will mark
the actual beginning on what former Transit
Director A. Merritt Taylor frequently desig-
mated as the key to the entire high-speed
transit system.
The delivery loop will run from Broad
and Arch streets under Arch street 70
Eighth street, under Eighth street to Locust
street and under Locust street to Broad
street again. The loop will cost nearly
$2.0OO0OO.
The keystone Company, which is Sem
ator McNichols concern, holds the con-
tracts for the Arch street and the Locust
street legs of the loop, The Eighth street
leg contract was awarded to Smith, Hauser
& MacIsaacs, Inc, n, Y. Mr.. McIsaacs
announced informally more than a month
ago that he would not accept the contract.
He has failed however, to notify the Tran
sit Department of his intentions, and for
that reason no plans have been made for
readvertising the work.
President Jerome II. Louchheim, of the
keystone Company, will make no pre-
dictions as TO how long the completion of
these two contracts will require.
