Was Formerly Nebraskan

NEW YORK, May 2.-The American steamship Rockingham, formerly the steamship Nebraskan, was of 4,40S tons gross. She was built at Camden, N. J., in 1902, and was owned by the Garland Steamship corporation.

 When under the name Nebraskan the Rockingham was torpedoed off the British coast, less than one month after the Lusitania was sunk, but reached port safely.
 The vessel at the time had just been released from charter bv the Wnlte Star line and was returning to Ameri- ca, intending to carry coal from New port News to California Tor the army.

 Trade discussions between British and American officials are said to have covered practically all the preliminary ground and to be waiting on additional information from England.
 The South American trade situation has received almost no attention as yet for the British have regarded it as a question left largely to the United States because this country's superior interests and better facilities for deal ing sympathetically with that field

RECOGNIZES NEW OPPONENT IN THE
 UNITED STATES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire)


 AMSTERDAM (via London) May ?. The German reichstag resumed it's session today. The president of the chamber, Dr. Johannes Kaempf, in opening his address, speaking of the entry of the United States into the war, said a new and mighty opponent had joined Germanys enemies. Presi- dent Wilson in message to congress on April 2 he declared, said he was entering the war in the interests of mankind and on the ground of justice.
 President Wilson, he continued, had lost his sight in making this assertion, since he had not stirred a finger to hinder England when England an nounced her war of starvation against Germany, a war in violation of all hu man and international rights: President Wilson had lost his sight when he re- jected the German proposal to secure the lives of Americans on American vessels in certain routes, which carried no contraband, and by this rejection exposed his own compatriots to danger and death.
 President Wilson, said Dr. Kaempf. represents the German people as without will of their own and as hav- ing been driven into the war by a group of ambitious people, but he tells nothing of the long years of encircle- ment and machinations against them; nothing of the enemies recently strongly expressed will to destroy Ger many.
 "The German people rose in August, 1914, and still fight today to defend their freedom, independence and life | h.. l,a lonr rel with the German people, for whom | he only entertains sympathy and 1 friendship.
 President Wilson desired by his message to SOW discord in Germany. As president of the German reichstag, which is elected by the freest franchise 1 in the world, I declare that this effort will come to naught: that it will have no influence on the common sense of our people, and that President Wilson will bit granite
 1 This remark evoked thunderous ap- l plause
 With our truest hearts blood we established the German kaiserdom and with our truest hearts blood we shall 1 fight for the kaiser and his empire. i tkenewed applause.) What our fore , fathers fought for and longed for. what we have achieved on the Dattiellelu, will not perish, even at President Will l sons word of command.
 We decline all interference by a 1 foreign government in our internal af
 fairs. If all signs are not misleading 1 the decisive point of the worlds war is 1 approaching. We see our death defying troops withstanding the ene- my's assaults. Our U-boats will show England how Germans can avenge her nefarious starvation war. We proved
 recently our financial strength by q
 sixth war loan. We adhere to our firm belief in Germany's star and in q peace which will secure for all time the fatherland's happiness"
 There was a fresh outburst of ap-
 plause as pr. Kaempf concluded, and
 the chamber then proceeded to the
 second reading of the budget

though the British in Mesopotamia have driven forward their lines against the Turks and made captures of men. guns and stores, while the Turks have forced out the Russians from Mush in Turkish Armenia.
 The anticipated proffer of peace by the imperial German chancellor will not be given to the reichstag Thursday, but will be withheld for more fitting occasion" according to advices reach ing Copenhagen. That peace is not up- permost in the minds of all German of ficials apparently is indicated by the address before the reichstag as it's re- opening session of Dr. Johannes kaempf, president of the chamber, who asserted that the German people ad- hered ito the firm belief in Germany's star and in peace which will secure for all time the fatherland's happy de- velopment."

DRYING FRUITS
 TALKED OF HERE

Who has had experience in drying fruit in the Salt River valley? Who has the equipment for drying fruit?
 It seems likely that there will be q considerable quantity of fruit produced in the valley this season. Possibly more than will be consumed fresh, or shipped out and the suggestion has been made that there is a possibility of drying a considerable quantity. There is no car nery, and with the scarcity of cans, it is not likely that cannery will be eS tablished here this season, but if fruit can be dried and saved it will add much to the food supply.
 Any one having had experience with drying fruit is requested to communi- cate with the chamber of commerce as early as convenient.

 His trip was made in behalf of the Packard Motor Car company, the purpose being to discover methods American business men would best follow to establish good, friendly footing of trade relations.

 Your Frenchman. Englishman or German goes to Buenos Aires or Rio, and makes his home there. He be- comes citizen and takes an active interest in the welfare of the city and the nation" said CardwaX, Ict there is no doubt that goods of Amer ican manufacture will be welcomed il South America.

 Impetus is being given to the plans to combat the menace by all the coun- tries at war with Germany, and hopes are expressed that shortly a check may be put to the inroads or the submarines into commerce.
 The military activities in France and Belgium are still in a deadlock, but the big guns everywhere continue violent duels and doubtless new phases of in- fantry action are developing. On none of the other fronts have there been en- agreements of great importance, al-

ECLIPSE GREAT RACER
OF OLD TURF DAYS

This is the anniversary of the birth
of one of the most famous horses
that ever ran on an American trac.
That horse was Eclipse, whose. race
against Sir Henry in 1923 really mark
ed the beginning of horse racing in
the fashionable Long Island section
of New York. After three brilliant
seasons the New York Legislature
stepped in and abolished horseracing
and Eclipse was relegated to the
stud.
A short time afterward he was
brought out and won many victories
elsewhere until finally a challenge
was brought from Virginia and
Eclipse was pitted against Sir Charles,
the best horse in the South, for $780,
900 side to run four mile heats over
the National Course at Washington.
On the day of the race Captain
James J. Harrison of Brunswick, Va,
announced that he would pay forfeit
for Sir Charles, the horse having met
with an accident, but offered to run
him in a four mile dash for $500.
Eclipse won and Sir Charles broke
