The statement follows: "An account of the 1912 Anglo-Saxon negotiations was published in the semiofficial Norddeutsche Allgenieine Zel-tung last month. This account was misleading, and no doubt was Intended to mislead. It made it appear that the British Government had at that time rejected what would bo regarded In many quarters as a reasonable offer of friendship. from Germany.

British Lord High Chan'cpllor) the fol- lowing formula as -onn which meet the views of the Imperial ernment: "First The contracting pafties assure each other, mutually of their desire for peace and "Second They will not, -either of them, make or prepare to make Any unprovoked attack upon the other or join in any combination or design against the other for the purposes of aggression, or become a party to any plan of naval or military enterprise, alono or in combination with any other aiui agreements which the high contract ing parties already have made. "Fifth The making of new agree ments which render it impossible for either the parties to observe neu trality toward the other beyond what is provided by the preceding limitation, is excluded in conformity with the provisions of Article 2. Guard Against Misunderstanding. "Sixth The high contracting par ties declare they will do all in their power to prevent differences and mis understandings arising Detween them and other Powers. "The conditions, although in ap pearance fair as between the parties.

would have b2en grossly unfair and one-sided in their operation. Owing to the general position of the Euro pean Powers and the treaty engage ments by which they were bound, the result of Articles 4 and 5 would have been that while Germany, in case of a European conflict would have ro-mained free to support her friends, this country would have been forbid den to raise a finger in defense of hers. "Germany could arrange without dif ficulty that the formal inception of hostilities should rest with Austria. If Austria and Russia were at war Germany would support Austria, as is evident from what occurred at the end of July, 1914. while as soon as Russia was attacked by two Powers, France was bound to come to her assistance.

In other words the pledge of neutrality offered by Germany would have been absolutely valueless because she could al ways plead the necessity of fulfilling her existing obligations under the triple alliance as an excuse for departing from neutrality. "On the other hand no 3uch depart- ure, however serious the provocation, would have been possible for this coun-trv. which was bound by no alliances. with the exception of those of Japan and Portugal, while the making fresh alliances was prohibited by article 5. In a word, as appeared still more evident later, there was to be a guarantee of absolute neutrality on one one side, but not on the other.

It was impossible for us to enter into a contract so obviously Inequitable, and the formula accordingly was rejected by Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Minister. Counter Proposals. "Count Paul 'Wolff-Metternich (then German Ambassador to Great Britain), upon this, pressed for counter proposals, which he stated, would be without prejudice and not binding unless we were satisfied our wishes were met on the naval question. On this understanding Sir Edward Grey on March 14, 1912, gave Count Wolff-Metternlch the following draft formula which bad been approved by the Cabinet: 'England will make no unprovoked attack upon Germany and pursue no aggressive policy toward her. Aggression upon Germany is not the subject and forms no part of any treaty, understanding or combination to which England Is now a party, nor will she become a party to anything that has such an object." Two Alternatives.

"Count 'Wolff-Metternlch thought this formula inadequate and suggested two alternative additional clauses: 'England will therefore observe at least benevolent neutrality should war be forced upon Germany, or England will, therefore, as a matter of course, remain neutral if war is forced upon "This he added would not be binding unlefs" our wishes were met with regard to the naval programme. Sir Edward Grey considered that the British proposals were sufficient. He explained that if Germany desired to crush France. England might not be able to sit still, though if France were aggressive or attacked Germany no support would be given by His Majesty's Government or approved by England. "It is obvious that the real object of the German proposal was to obtain the neutrality of England in all ualities.

since should war break out Germany would certainly contend that it had been forced upon her and would claim that England should remain neutral. "An admirable example of this is the present war, in which. In spite of the facts, Germany contends war has been forced upon her. Even the third member of the triple alliance, who had sources of Information not open to us, did not share this view, but regarded it as an aggressive war. Sir Edward's Formula.

"Sir Edward Grey eventually proposed the following formula: 'The two Powers being mutually They are mighty cream, or with Miss Carrie Holies, 20 years old, of 965 Baxter avenue, was robbed at 9 o'clock last night by a negro thief, who snatched her pocketbook on Highland avenue, near Cherokee road, extracted $3 from it, and, tossing the empty purse at Hiss Molles feet, calmly walked away.

31. Two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry were ordered from Galveston to-nleht to re-enforce American troops patrol-ing tho Mexican border. Secretary Garrison announced that tho War De-nartm-nt was sending ths additional forces at the request of Maj. Gn. Fvtnston, commanding the border pa-troL The Secretary explained that no emergency existed at this time so far axe he knew, and Indicated that the troops movement comprised merely a part of a general plan evolved by Gen.

Funston for strengtheninK his portions. The Fourth Infantry and Sixth Cav alry will go to Harllrgen, Texas, two battalions of the Nineteenth Infantry to Fort Sam Hocstm, and tho third battalion of the to Del Rio. When the raids along the Texas border several weeka ago were followed by sensational reports of preparations for a general uprising of the Mexican population Gov. Ferguson appealed to the Wax Department for more troops. Secretary Garrison said at the time that, while the Federal Government would expect the State authorities to deal with all purely internal dlsturb-o Riih fnrcM aa miirht be neces sary would be added to the command of Gen.

Funston whenever the latter made the request Advices reaching here to-day from Mexico City indicated that some of tho foreign diplomats there were pre- paring to set up de facto relatons with Carranza upon his arrival at tho old capital. None of the representatives of foreign Governments accompanied Carranza. when he moved his Government to Vera Cruz.

A. Hernandez and Luclo Luna, who. speaking at a mrse mwui i cans Sundav night, made remarks calculated to Incite Mexicans here to revolt against Americans, were each sentenced in the Police Court here to-day to 200 days in jail. Domlciano Hernandez, who distributed a pamphlet among his hearers urging a social revolution, was sent to jail for 100 days on a vagrancy charge. The trio will probably be given in the hands of the Federal authorities after the Jail sentences expire.

Twenty-four other Mexicans tried for vagrancy were allowed their freedom on proof they were working. NEBRASKAN SAILS FROM LIVERPOOL American Vessel Was Damaged By German Torpedo Off Irish Coast. Liverpool. Aug. 31.

The American steamer Nebraskan, which was badly damaged by a German torpedo off tho nmithern coast of Ireland on May 25. sailed from this port for Delaware Breakwater to-day, repairs having been effected. Tho torpedoing of the Nebraskan caused a grave impression in Washington. The vessel at the time was on her way from Liverpool to Delaware Breakwater in ballast.

Aggression on Germany forms no pari of any treaty, understanding or combination" to which England now is a party, nor will she become a party to anything that has such an object' "Sir Edward Grey, when he handed this formula to Count Wolff-Metter-nich said that the use of the word neutrality would convey the impression that more was meant than was warranted by the text. He suggestad that the substance of what was required would be obtained from the more accurately expressed words 'will neither make nor Join in any unpro voked "Count Wolff-Matternich thereupon received instructions to make It quite clear tliat the Chancellor could recommend to the Emperor to give up the essential parts of the Novelle (the bill then pending for an Increase of the German navy) only if we could con clude an agreement guaranteeing neutrality of a far-reaching character and leaving no doubt as to any interpretation. He admitted that the lor's wish amounted to a guarantee of absolute neutrality, failing which the Novelle must proceed. Suggested Modification.

"Count Wolff-Metternlch stated that there was no chance of a withdrawal of the Novelle, but said that it might be modified. It would be disappointing to the Chancellor if we did not go beyond the formula we had suggested. Sir Edward Grey said that he could understand that there would be disappointment if His Majesty's Government were to state that the carrying out of the Novelle would put an end to the negotiations and form an insurmountable obstacle to better relations. Hte Majesty's Government did not say this, and they hoped that the formula which they had suggested might be considered in connection with the discussion of territorial arrangements, even if It did not prove effective in preventing an increase in the naval expenditures, "Sir Edward Grey added that if some arrangement could be made between the two Governments it would have a favorable though indirect effect upon naval expenditures; as time went on, it would have, moreover, a favorable direct effect on the public opinion of both countries. "A few days afterward Count Wolff-Metternlch communicated to Sir Edward Grey the substance of a letter from the Chancellor, in which the lat ter said that as the formula sugjjoated: by His Majesty's Government from the German point of view, insufficient, and as His Majesty's Govern- 1 ment could not agreed to the larger formula for which he had asked, the Novelle must proceed on the lines on which it had been presented to the Federal Council, reducing the expenditure for armaments by the two coun tries."

"Anything can happen in Jackson," said a traveling man to-day as he watched a great crowd follow the wagon from the L.

The child was seated on a pack of mall sacks between the mall carrier's knees and was busily eating away at somo candy It carried In a bag. In the other hand it carried a big red apple and it smiled when the curious folks waved their hands and called to her.

The child wore a pink dress to which was sewed a shipping tag, covered on one side with thirty-three cents In stamps and on the other side had the following words: "To Mrs. Celina Smith, cave Jim Haddlx, Jackson. from R. K. Madden, Caney, Ky." The child was put on the O.

FIRE PREVENTION UNDER DISCUSSION BY CHIEFS Sprinklers Indorsed By Resolution After Animated Speeches Are Heard. Cincinnati, Aug. 31. That the firemen of the country are not only fire fighters, but organized bodies to prevent conflagrations, was shown at the opening of the forty-third annual convention of the International Association of Fire Engineers here to-day.

All of the speakers talked on fire prevention and general discussions were along the same lines. The convention ra.s formally open ed by President Hugo R. Delfs, of Lansing, Mich. Following the delivery of half a dozen welcoming addresses the subject of automatic sprinklers was taken up. Chief W.

H. KVur-Bhy. of Philadelphia, opened the dis cussion. He upheld the sprinklers as one of th-j greatest devices ever in vented, but held that they will not prevent a conflagration. Chief John Kenlon, of New York, declared that sprinklers act as both policeman and fireman.

First they discover the fir-, and turn in the alarm and then fight it until the fire department arrives. J. O. McDonnell, of the Bureau of Fire Prevention for the Public Safety of Chicago, said he was in favor of the sprinkler as a life saver, but he was against it as a lire preventer. At the close of the ulscussion a res olution was adopted placing the asso ciation in favor of the sprinklers.

The United States Treasury is in excellent condition, and there is no present prospect that the Administration will issue bonds or short-term notes to fill Its cof fers, according to a statement by Secretary McAdoo to-day on his return to Washington from a month's vacation In Maine. "It's too soon to talk about, revenue legislation," said Mr. McAdoo. "I don't know what tho estimates will be, and consequently cannot talk about revenues." He added, however, that it seemed probable that Congress would be asked to extend the period of operation of the emergency tax beyond December 31, Its present limn. io consideration had been given, he declared, to the advi sability of replacing the duty on sugar, lowering the exemption limit of the income tax law or other plans suggested to Increase revenues.

"But," said the Secretary, "I have never considered a bond issue. The treasury Is In excellent condition, and there Is no country on the globe more able to pay more taxes than tho United States If our expenditures are to be increased. I'm not worrying about tho situation, and I guess I should be the first man to worry."
