Germany Seeks No War With
u. S., Says Foreign Secretary u

Berlin. Feb Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman made the following
statement to the Overseas News
agency:
I'VE regret this measure taken by
President Wilson, all the more since
against all traditions and all interna-
tional law, we are cut off from all
direct communication and regular in
tercourse with the transatlantic world
We also remember that American dip
lomats during the last months ard
years of the war have cared for Gers
man interests by proxy, in several hos
tile countries, with efficiency and great
success.
No Reason for Hostility.
"The text of the presidents message
in the absence of other official docu
ments, has therefore been examined
most minutely Having no real reason
for hostility to the United States, re-
membering the traditional friendship
which has existed between the cOun-
tries practically from the first days of
the United States, we naturally appre-
ciate the words of a rather nonhostile
character which among others Of
different character, are found in that
message as transmitted by Reuters,
In them President Wilson gives as
surances that he wishes no hostile
conflict with Germany, and | can add
that we appreciate this and other para
graphs in the message, joining in this
respect with President Wilson's note.

president reading slowly and dis

words which may recover one of the
somber moments of American history

Soon after Count Won Bernstorffs s

service men threw guard about the
ambassador and his suite, to make GER
tain that the hospitality of the United
States is not violated while he remains

Spain to Represent U. S.
Spain will care for American inter
ests in Germany, now that diplomatic
relations are severed.
1t is expected that the German gov.
ernment will give a period of grace of
fifteen to thirty days in which the
Americans may leave, similar to the
action taken with reference to bellig-
erents at the beginning of the war
No particular steps have been taken
to get Americans out of Austria, as of
fetal reports show that there are not
more than thirty native Americans in
all Austria.
Ambassador Penfeld has been kept
advised of the situation 1t is assumed
at the state department that these few
Americans would be able to make their
way to Switzerland without hindrance.
The 5000 Americans in Germany
presented a more serious problem, but
inasmuch as there are large number
of Germans in America, it is assumed
that reciprocal arrangements can be
made to get them to neutral countries
If they can not reach home.

found thoroughly suitable. Four thou

The life Of mail bag is about six
years, but the rough usage to which
they are exposed makes many bags un-

good material make what are known
as "pieced bags" Many are thus re-

The advent of the parcel post made

RICHLAND FARMERS FORM
LOAN ASSOCIATION
First District in County to Take Ad'
vantage of Rural Credits Law
To Meet Again Jan. 10

The board of directors of the Farm
Loan association at Richland held a
meeting at the home of A. E. Gran
lund Tuesday afternoon. Every men,
Der of the board, composed of A. E.
Granlund, T. J. Chalcraft, C. D. Mitch
ell, Carl Willis and Martin Wienenga,
was present and a temporary organ
ization was formed with A. E. Gran
lund president and Carl Willis, Sec
rotary.
Already applications for over $780,
900 in loans have been submitted to
the board and others are coming every
day. A meeting has been called for
next Wednesday to be held at 1 o'clock
in the hall for the purpose of making
the organization permanent and to
sign up requests for loans. Everyone
in the district interested is earnestly
requested to attend this meeting next
Wednesday so that everyone may have
voice in the proceedings.
This farm loan system will be of
great benefit to the farmers of Rich
land which are more or less heavily
encountered. A man may borrow 500
of the appraised valuation of the land
and 20%o of the appraised valuation of
the improvements. Under the long
time loan system it will give the local
ranchers chance to get out from un-
der their overwhelming burden of
debt and take new lease on life.

has been source of great benefit to
one part of the Richland population,
at any rate, that is, the stove-warming
and chair-warming members who sit
around and discuss topics of the day
in their usual learned style. This
court house controversy has been a
heaven-sent blessing to them as the
war has become slightly overworked
and the election is over.
