Will Await Status Of
Teut0n Crews.
ARE VICTIMS OF RAIDER
Prisoners captured at Sea on
Be||igerent Ships.

Berlin, Feb. 13.-Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman stated he has requested
the Swiss government to make in
curry in Washington regarding the
status of the crews of interned Ger.
man ships in American ports.
Pending an answer the seventy.two
Americans taken by the German raider
and brought in by the Yarrowdale,
whose release had been agreed to, are
being held in Germany, the foreign
secretary stated.
During the past week recurring ru-
mors have reached Berlin by way of
London in which it was announced
that the United States government had
sequestered the German ships and in
termed their crews. No definite Off
cial denial having been received the
government was prompted TO ask the
Information.
1--WE could not consent to the re-
lease of the Yarrowdale prisoners,
which was taken to be agreed to a
week ago." said the foreign secretary,
THE men had been taken off arm
ed merchantmen and their status had
been established. They will be liberat-
ed just as soon as we learn the fate
of the German crews in American
ports"
Breaking of Agreement.
The release of the YaTowdale pris-
oners was agreed to with Ambassador
Gerard on the eve of the break in re-
lations, but the possibility of the Ger
man crews being nterned in the Unit.
ed States prompted the admiralty to
rescind the orders libcrating the
Americans held with the rest of the
Yarrowdale prisoners.
1t Is pointed out here that this cpl
sode is further illustration of the
menace growing out of the lack of
facilities and opportunities for free in
accommodation by both countries.
Herr Zimmerman reaftirmed his
previous statement that the Ameri-
SdiS uOW Ill IeIluaiN VIII DC peIHlll-
ted to move about unmolested and be
perfectly free to leave the country
whenever they desire. even If the
break threatens to reach the ultimate
stage.
This intention is based on the i'm.
preston prevailing here that the
United States is not contemplating
any steps with regard to German civil
fans that might compel Germany to
reconsider the position she has now
definitely taken.

the Indians practical farmers from
whose operations the Indians will
learn more in a few years by actual
observation than in generation of
preaching farming by theorists in
the Indian Department.
Large tracts of idle lands has also
been leased for grazing and farming
to white men with the result that
the Indians arc now receiving con-
siderable income from surplus lands
which laid idle for years. Along
the same line of thought may also
be mentioned that Mr.. Convey had
silos built at the Agency Boarding
ane Farm School, the first, with
one exception, in the whole rcser-
walton country.
With an eye to the beautiful,
MIR. Convey also early in his admin
istration began a number of i'm
provements to the Agency grounds
and buildings. Old, rotten board
walks have been replaced with sub
stantial cement sidewalks, dilapi-
dated fences have given way for
new, ornamental woven wire fences,
the grounds cleared of years accum-
mutation of rubbish and old struc-
lures while the buildings have been
painted and repaired.
Mr.. Convey also made every effort
to secure an appropriation for new
buildings at the Agency and mod
ern improvements at the schools,
and he has every reason to believe
that his recommendations along
this line will be carried out in the
future as soon rs funds for these
purposes are available.
The Pioneer has endcavorcd
briefly to touch upon the many
things Mr.. Covey has accomplished
for the Indians, the reservation
country, and Fort Yates, and he.
lievcs it voices the sentiment of all
who are familiar with conditions
here, when it states that his trans
fer at this time is inopportune
1t is too late for regrets now, how
ever, and the Pioneer joins with
the many friends Of Mr.. and Mrs
Convey in wishing them a full
measure of prosperity and success
in their new field of endeavor.
