ciples for which President Wilson con-
tended In his notes following the tor-
pedoing of the Lusitania and the Fal-

for amicable settlement of all the
cases which have threatened sever-
ance of diplomatic relations between

“On the other hand the Imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine The attack of the
submarine was undertaken against the
Instructions issued to the commander
The imperial government regrets and
disavows this act and has notified
Commander Schneider accordingly

government i3 prepared to pay an in-
demnity for American lives which to
its deep regret have been lost on the

Corn still is king of crops with indi-
cations of 3026159000 bushels While

siderably more than ever was paid for
a wheat crop before
September weather was particularly
destructive to potatoes causing a re-
duction of 37758000 bushels or 10 per
cent in the forecast of production To-
bacco also suffered from unfavorable
conditions which caused a decrease of
21345000 pounds in the production

1912 by almost lOfhOOOOOO bushels

RECOGNITION FOR GEN CARRANZA
First Chief Seems to Have the Upper
Hand At Last
Washington — Recofffftton of the
party led by General Carranza as the
de facto government in Mexico was
unanimously agreed upon by the Pan-
American conference as the step to
be recommended to their respective
governments
Secretary Lansing on behalf of the
United ites government expressed
Its Intention to recognize General Car-
ranza and the ambassadors of Brazil
Chile Argentine and the ministers of
Bolivia Uruguay and Gautemala trans-
mitted the decision of the Washing-
ton government as well as their opin-
ion in agreement with it
The action of the conference was
regarded generally as the most im-
portant diplomatic step in the Mexican
situation since the United States de-
cided to withhold recognition from
the Huerta government more than two
years ago It means that the Car-
ranza government will receive the
moral support of the United States
and that an embargo on shipment of
arms to opposing factions will be laid
as soon as recognition actually is ex-
tended which probably will be within
a fortnight
Secretary Lansing made it clear
that while the United States could
not consider recognition upon the giv-
ing of amnesty or the settlement of
other questions of a strictly Internal
nature satisfactory assurances on
these and other subjects ' have been
received from the1 Carranza govern-
menL The guarantees are as follows:
Guarantees From Carranza
First — Foreigners will be protected
in their lives and property
Second — The Carranza government
assumes full responsibility for claims
growing out of the revolution and will
adjust tbenf equitably by means of
international commissions
Third — No one will suffer In his life
and property on aecoont of religions
beliefs all priests and nuns who have
not taken part In Mexican politics will
be permitted to return and 'will be
protected provided they do not par-
ticipate in politics and obey the Mexi-
can : laws governing the separation
of chnrch and state - -
Fourth — A decree of amnesty is In
preparation which will enable all ele-
ments irrespective of political affilia-
tions heretofore to return to Mexico
with the exception of those guilty of
complicity In the plot to kill Madero
and Snares
Official advices have been received
here that the governments of Argen-
tina Brazil and Chile are in accord
4rlth the decision of the United States

"How do you know that this state-
ment is true?”
“Why my papa told me so” instant-
ly rolled the little glrL
"And do you always answer your
stepmother politely no matter what
she says to you as your father told
you to do?"
“No” said the small witness and
after a brief pause she added: “My
heart did not bring forth the words”
