Herald, Holvoke, Colo.
Dear Sir:-I wish to call the
attention of your readers to an
item in the Holyoke Enterprise
under the date of Friday. Feb.
%. "A letter from Hon. G. b.
Weir. our representative in the
State Legislature. informs VS.
that that House Bill No. 6, in
troduced by Mr.. Weir, which
provides for unfair discrimina-
tion in regard to the price to be
paid for dairy prodrcts by
creamery companies and asso-
Citations, has passed the Lower
House. and aow goes to the sen
ate. He has hopes that the bill
will go through the Senate,
which will provide the neces-
sary protection for the farmer
cream stations in Colorado"
have before me a copy of
House b II No. 6, which bears
this heading. by Messrs.
Graves. Herzeberger, Roth,
Scott and Somervillc." Nlr.
Weir's name does not appear on
the bill as originally printed.
Through the courtesy of MIR.
Scott of Logan county, Mr..
Weir's name was finally added
to this list of introducers. This
bill was passed by the House in
, the Twentieth General Assem-.
bly,, by Mr.. Graves Of Weld coun
ty, and Mr.. Scott, but failed of
passage IN the Senate.

icriticise the official acts of Mr.

be made to obtain credit at the
,expense Of the real hackers of
this bill.
House Bill No. "A (which is
very similar in it's provisions to
the above mentioned bilD was
introduced by Mr.. Weir. but
seems to have lacked the neces
sary support for its passage.

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

Washington.-A formal statement
giving assurances that the govern
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. 1t makes
no specific reference to the Prussian-
American treaty Of 1928, which pro
yides for the immunity Of such prop
erty, but which has been regarded
as OF doubtful validity, saying merely
that the government will in no cir
cumstances take advantage of a 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 moth
ing in the conduct of the United States
to warrant criticism, rather than indl-
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
suggestion would find no response here
under present conditions.
The departments statement fol-
lows:
1T 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. 1t will scrupulous,
ly respect all private rights alike of
its own citizens and of the subjects
of foreign states"

GERMANY DESTROYS
OF AYERTING WAR
ADDRESS NOTE TO WASHINGTON
SEEKING MEANS TO END-SUG-
GESTIONS ARE ASKED.

Washington.-Ger has taken
steps to open a 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 its ruth
less submarine campaign, and officials
here feel they cannot enter upon such
discussion while vessels continue to
be destroyed in violation OF interna-
tional law.
The new move is understood to be
predictated upon a 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
any specific means of preserving
peace between the two nations is in
cluded in the communication has not
been revealed.
Because of the delicacy Of the situ-
alton 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 a 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 sincere
desire to make sacrifices to preserve
peace between the United States and
Germany, and may come as re-
sponse to the appeals understood tC
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 il Ameri-
! can rights are violated.

GERARD AND PARTY
At SWISS BORDER
MEMBERS GIVE A GENUINE SIGH
OF RELIEF WHEN STRAIN is
BROUGHT TO AN END.
DECLINES TO MAKE REPORT
While In Berlin His Telephone Wires
Were Cut, His Mail and Telegraphic
Privileges Stopped, So That He
Could Not Instruct Consuls.

Zurich, Switzerland.-Most OF the
members of Ambassador Gerard
large party gave a genuine sigh Of re-
lief when the Swiss border was
reached, for the strain Of the last
few days had told more or less on the
majority Of the travellers. Ambassa-
dor Gerard met cordially the horde OF
newspaper men who crowded about
him on his arrival at Zurich, clamor-
ing for interviews for papers all over
the civilized world, but he kept rigidly
to his determination not to speak for
publication until after he had report
ed to President Wilson in Washing
ton.
The strain of the situation Of the
Americans in Berlin had been height.
ened toward the end by the efforts Of
the German authorities to induce Mr..
Gerard to open negotiations for an
amendment to the Prussian-American
treaty of 1899. At the same time the
German newspapers were flooded with
reports of the seizure Of German
ships by America and with stories of
difficulties and indignities encountered
by Count Won Bernstorff. Ambassa-
dor Gerard was refused permission to
communicate in cipher with Washing
ton and the authorities ignored all de-
malls of the stories printed in the
German newspapers until an official
message received through the Spanish
embassy made it clear that the stories
were false. Prior to this Ambassa-
dor Gerard's telephone wires were cut,
his mail and telegraphic privileges
stopped; so that he could not even in
struct the American consults; and he
was, in his own words prisoner.
Mr.. Gerard's farewells were said in
friendly, though formal manner.
Many Germans were in the throng at
the station, which consisted partly Of
| Americans who had not received per
mission to depart on the embassy train
and must await the police routine
before being allowed to leave.
The fact that it was not generally
known that Mr.. Gerard was departing
reduced these demonstrations at the
South German stations to a minimum
of curious crowds.
The party was accompanied by two
representatives of the foreign office
and guarded carefully by men from
the secret service. The customs in.
sepection and other examinations at
the border were relaxed to a mere
formallty.

persed the geographical distribution

which definite figures have been made
public, are given here:

Exceptional difficulties have been
found In carrying out this program for
increasing the army. On account Of
the remarkable industrial activity Of
the country, recruiting has been, since
the increase was authorized, at very
low ebb. 1t Is therefore probable that
the estimate Of 125,000 as the strength
Of the regular army errs on the side
of optimism, and 115,000 may be closer
the true figure.
