GERMAN INTERESTS
 TO SWISS MINISTER
DISPATCH INTERPRETED AS IN DlCATlNG GERARD HAD LEFT
 BERLIN.

Washington.--Ambassador Willard at Madrid reported to the state de-
 partment that he had received dis patch from Ambassador Gerard him self or from American Minister Sto- vail at Berne. The state department interpreted MT. Willard's dispatch as indicating that MT. Gerard had left Berlin and travelled as far as the Swiss capital.
 Minister Ritter of Switzerland was instructed by his government to take over German diplomatic interests in the United States, including the Ger. man embassy here and 12 consulates throughout the country. The minister informed the state de. partment of his governments action i'll a note.
 Swiss legation officials will move into the German embassy building when Count von Bernstorff and his staff depart.
 Instructions have been sent to Swiss consuls to take over the German con sulates in the following cities: At lanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, St. Paul and Manila
 Special arrangements are being made by the Swiss minister for the departure from Manila of the German consul there. Because of conditions at sea, it is understood that the con- sul may be unable to return to Ger many. Just where he will go is uncer- tain. It is unlikely that he will be permitted to remain in the Philippine Islands.
 In line with it's policy of doing noth- ing to force further strained relations with Germany, it was officially reiter- ated that the administration is taking the greatest care to see that no right of any foreign government or foreign property is violated. It was added that the government has nowhere seized German ships or claimed title of any sort to them
 It was authoritatively declared on behalf of the administration that the only action taken has been to place vessels and their crews under such guard and protection as to prevent anything being done which would ob- struct navigation or in any other way violate the laws to which they would in any case be subject.

GERMANY DES|ROUS
 IF AVERT|NG WAR
ADDRESS NOTE TO WASHINGTON SEEKING MEANS TO END-SUG-
 GESTlONS ARE ASKED.
WILL DISCUSS MEASURES
New Move Is Predicted Upon a Will ingness On Germany's Part To Pro- tect American Ships and Ameri-
 can Lives On the Seas.

hington.-Germany has taken
 steps to open discussion with the
 United States of means of preventing
 war.
 In seeking an exchange of views on
 the subject, however, it is not under
 stood that the Berlin government has
 proposed any modification of it's ruth
 less submarine campaign, and officials
 here feel they cannot enter upon such
 a discussion while vessels continue to
 be destroyed in violation of interna-
 tional law.
 The new move is understood to be
 predictated upon willingness on Germany's part to discuss especially the safeguarding of American ships
 and American lives on the seas, and
 backed by a renewed expression of the desire of the German government to prevent the diplomatic breach from leading to actual hostilities. Just how American interests are to be safe
 guarded if the German war zone pro-
 clamation is to stand, and whether dhy opoSinC uIoetio ol PlCoCl Nilie'
 peace between the two nations is in
 cluded in the communication has not been, revealed.
 Because of the delicacy of the situ-
 ation all officials refuse to discuss it in detail or even to indicate through what channels it was addressed to the American government.
 What may be the ulterior motive back of the step also is matter of speculation In some quarters there is evident a feeling that it merely is a play for time, designed to postpone any further action by the United States until the starvation blockade against England either has succeeded
 or failed.
 Elsewhere there are suggestions that there may be behind it a sincere desire to make sacrifices to preserve peace between the United States and Germany, and may come as re- sponse to the appeals understood to
 have been sent abroad by pacifists in this country.
 In any event there is no evidence that President Wilson is contemplat- ing any other course than vigorous preparation of the nation for the
 eventuality which he warned against in his address to Congress if Ameri-
 can rights are violated

CR|TTENDEN COUNTY BUILD BRIDGE ROAD
PLANS AND SURVEYS ALREADY HAVE BEEN MADE BY HIGH
 WAY DEPARTMENT.
DISTRICT TO ASK BONDS
Commissioners Would Spend $125,o0o Improving 40 Miles Of Road Near End of Viaduct-Construct Pike
 From Arkansas Approach.
Marion.-

Marion.r- / Crittenden county is speeding work on all improvements which will aid her citizens to take advantage of the J. T. Harahan bridge in marketing the crops of next summer.
 Announcement was made that road district No 1, immediately adjacent to the Arkansas end of the bridge, will ask for bond issue of $125,000 to improve roads.
 Plans and surveys already have been made by the state highway de- partment of Arkansas for the con- struction of 12 miles of graveled pike to extend from the end of the Crit tenden approach to the new bridge. Ferree & McCleskey, Memphis engi- neers, were notified that they had been awarded contract to complete specifications and estimates to cost on the road and supervise it's con- struction. In all 40 miles of road in the district is to be improved, i'm proved, though at the outset only 12 miles will be graveled.
 Beginning at the St. Francis levee, where the vfaduct from the bridge will end, this graveled road will ex- tend due west four miles, where it will veer southward into Hubert. Thence it will paralle the Rock Is land tracks to Riceville. The rest of the road will run south in a direct line for five miles DaSSinp abOut one half mile east of Quarles and termi- mating in the levee a short distance east of Waverly.
 This hard road will be the backbone of a system of improved roads, of which the feeders for a time will be of dirt. These feeders, however, will be graded, ditched and made more ef. ficient by the addition of culverts and bridges where needed.

FEARS OF GERMANS
 IN U. s. UNFOUNDED
BANK DEPOSITS WILL NOT BE SEIZED BY THE UNITED
 STATES GOVERNMENT.

Washington.-A formal statement ment has no intention of seizing bank deposits or other property belonging to any foreign subject, even in the event of war, was issued by the State Department with the approval of President Wilson.
 The statement was prompted by the anxiety of some German subjects in some sections regarding savings, de- posits and by the many reports in cir culation regarding the intention of the government concerning war-bouni vessels in American ports. It makes no specific reference to the Prussian- American treaty of 1928, which pro vides for the immunity of such prop erty, but which has been regarded as of doubtful validity, saying merely that the government twill in no cir cumstances take advantage of state of war to take possession of property to which international understandings and the recognized law of the land give it no just claim
 The decision is understood to be in furtherance of President Wilson's de- termination that there shall be noth- ing in the conduct of the United States to warrant criticism, rather than indi- cative of any specific inclination to acknowledge the validity of disputed provisions of the old treaty.
 Officials did not comment on a press dispatch from Berlin saying Ambassa- dor Gerard had been asked to secure a ratification of the treaty, but pre- viously they had indicated that such a suggestion would find no response here under present conditions.
 The departments statement fol- lows:
 'It having been reported to him that there is anxiety in some quarters on the part of persons residing in this country who are subjects of foreign states lest their bank deposits or other property should be seized in the event of war between the United States and foreign nation, the president author i7es the statement that all such fears are entirely unfounded.
 "The government of the United States will in no circumstances take advantage of a state of war to take possession of property to which inter- national understandings and the rec ognized law of the land give it no just claim or title. It will scrupulous. ly respect all private rights alike of it's own citizens and of the subjects of foreign states"
