Subcribes $10000 to Loan
Association to Assist
Real Ranchers.
Active work in the organization of
the Rio Grande Valley Farmers' asso-
ciation was begun Saturday afternoon
when a number of those interested in
the project held a meeting; at which
a tentative agreement was consid-
ered The first subscription to the new
organisation was also made at this
meeting .Toshua S. Rajnolds subscrib-
ing $10000
The organization has been formed for
the purpose of aiding the valley farm-
ers. It will make loans to the farm-
ers on proper collateral for the pur-
pose of aiding them to purchase imple-
ments erect silos and buy livestock.
One of the principal aims of the asso
ciation is to enable farmers to pur-
chase high grade dairy stock so that a.
creamery can be established here. In
this connection the association will hire
an expert who will instruct the farm
ers regarding the best grade of cows
to buy and how to care lor tnem so
as to gain the best results. Blooded
bulls for breeding purposes will also
be purchased by the association.
Crenroery ot Competitive.
The creamerv In no way comes into
competition with dairies. The former
organization is for the manuafcturo
of butter and kindred products and the
farmers will be left the skimmed wilk
for feeding purposes. The raising of
hogs will also be encouraged uy tne
association.
Every effort Is being made to have
.the organisation perfected as soon as
possible -'It is capitalized at J2GD000
and subscriptions are now being re-
ceived. As soon as an adequate sum
has been subscribed the organization
will be complete and will begin busi-
ness. There will be seven directors
representing both city and valley in-
dustries. Those attending the meeting Satur-
day which was held In the office of
Felix Martinez were: Mr. Martinez

Her new owners announced that tbe
Dacia was bought with the Intention
of engaging in the cotton trade with
German but immediate opposition
from the British government caused
the destination of tbe vessel to be
changed from Bremen to Rotterdam
a neutral port. The United States gov-
ernment asked the British government
if safe conduct would be given the
Dacia to carry one cargo of cotton to
Rotterdam to help the cotton situation
the vessel then to return to this United
States. This proposal brought the .re-
ply that the vessel itself must be con-
sidered contraband by the British Who
hae not recognized the legality of her'
transfer to American registry in time
of war but that every facility would
be afforded to have the cotton reach
its destination. It was said the cargo
would be transferred to another
steamer for shipment to Rotterdam If
the Dacia was seized.
Seizure of the steamer Is expected
to result in prize court proceedings
and diplomatic representations that
may be of far reaching importance.

Baron Burian Tells Kaiser
Downfall of Dual Mon-
archy Likely Report.
London Eng Feb. I. Austria Is
eager to make a tolerable peace in
conjunction with Germany and baron
Burian the Austro-tlungarlan foreign
minister pointed out this imperative
need at his meeting with emperor
William according to the Daily Mail's
Copenhagen Denmark correspondent.
The dispatch says:
"From a most trustworthy and well
informed source in Berlin I received
the following statement regarding the
negotiations between the German
statesmen and baron Burian who re-
cently visited the German chancelor in
Berlin and emperor William at the
army headquarters in France n-
"Baron Burian whose sole object is
to save what can be saved of the dflal
monarchy represented to the Germans
that the situation in Austria is most
precarious and that if the Russian ad-
vance on Buda Pest is not stopped the
effect may very probably be the down-
fall of Austria and the complete col-
lapse of Hungary which must later
entail as a logical sequence also the
downfall of Germany.
Catastrophe Imminent.
"Therefore baron Burian urged that
the Russians must at all costs be re-
pulsed and that Germany must send
large reinforcements to Hungary to
prevent a catastrophe. In any case
he said it was doubtful if It would be
possible for them to resist the Russians
and Servians and perhaps also tho
Roumanians. Therefore it was neces-
sary seriously to examine Into the
question of peace.
Possible Peace Terms.
"A definite defeat would mean a
debacle for Austria-Hungary and the
partition of the empire. His advice
to Germany was to consider most seri-
ously the possibilities Of a tolerable
peace. He advised Germany not' to re-
ject fundamentally the thought of
peace on the grounds of a probable
disarmament of Europe. If Germany
were disposed to treat on such terms
he believed the other conditions would
be tolerable. Perhaps it would be
necessary to leave the French part of
Alsace to France and to give up some
Polish provinces to a new Poland but
If Russia would relinquish a province
and Austria a part of Gallcla to Poland
no real sacrifice for Germany would
be entailed.
"Austria would then leave the rest
of Galicla to Russia and Bukowina to
Roumania and if necessary a part of
Bosnia and Herzegovina to Servia and
Montenegro.
Germany Objects.
"The leading German statesmen ad-
mitted baron Burian's Intentions were
excellent and to some extent justi-
fied by circumstances but they de-
clared such a peace would be more
ruinous to Germany than total defeat.
Disarmament of Europe they contend-
ed would only mean that Great Brit-
ain would be able to tyrannize the
whole wqrld and Germany would have
lost all chance for aelfguardtng her
commercial Industrial and economic
interests.
"The other terms advanced by baron
Burian namely the status quo ante
liolliim that tft Tft MT tbe rMtnrtnsr fit
Belgium and northern France but also
the recovery by Germany ot her col-
onles were with the exception of the
relinaulshment to Franee of French
Alsace and of th Polish provinces to
Poland no absolute hindrance to peace.
Peace Aegouatlona Hopeless.
"For the reasons set forth the Ger-
man statesmen declare the negotiations
for peace are hopeless and that there-
fore it would be madness to take any
Steps revealing a disposition for peace I aoantatna. and lntheucaBen leading
oil IB-I9B nf -Germany arid AlsrTftTBu''S1 There wa bo snow on
Hungary as this would only weaker
their case.
"Baron Burian thereupon admitted
that there was no other way than to
reject all ideas of peace and to take
all the chance and alt risks in con-
tinuing the war in the hope .that some-
thing undreamed might occur. Per-
haps a. disagreement among the allies
or some great victory might prove their
salvation.
"The Germans agreed that it was
necessary to dispatch reinforcements
to Hungary and promised to transfer
troops up to the number of 1000008
by spring.
"One and one-half million soldiers
would be sent to France as a last at-
tempt to crush the allies and force
peace."

until the tax office closed so they could
go home. Outside in the rotunda of the
