STATISTICS REPORT
A. A M. IS CAMPAIGNING.
The efforts of the citizen* of Bryan
and friends of the A. A M. College in
behalf of the Sackett resolution which
provides for the complete separation of
the University of Texas and the A. A
M College, the division of the Univer-
ally's permanent fund, the removal of
the constituttnal Inhibition against
appropriations for University of Texa9
buildings by the Legislature, and other
similar items is well worthy of ob-
servation. «
Only two years ago the same ele-
ment in lexas which is now support-
ing the Sackett resolution so vigor-
ously was fighting Senate joint resolu"
tion No. 12, advocated by Governor O.
B. Colquitt with even greater zeal than
these citizens are now exercising for
the divorcement resolution.
They felt then that Senate j*kp
resolution No. 12 and its adopt?
ment the desth of A. A M. College.
They feel now that the adoption of the
Hackett resolution means that they
shall never again be embarrassed by
talk of consolidation. That there was
on foot a plan to destroy the A. & M.
College, they felt convinced not only
when Senate joint resolution No. 18
was proponed but when Governor Col-
quitt urged the one board plan before
the Legislature. This Governor Fergu-
son as well as former Governor Col-
quitt denied, but the element behind
the Bryan fight could never and has
never this changed their point'of view.
The manner in which positions have
been switched is rather remarkable. In
1212 the Bryan and A. A M. element
was on the defensive entirely. Gov-
ernor Colquitt led the defensive with
the Hogg organization and the Uni-
varsity of Texas crowd behind him. R.
M. Colquitt, his son snd his campaign
manager, organized the fight for the
amendment which was defeated over-
whelmingly.
Now the A. A M. element is on the
offensive. Governor Ferguson, who
pronounced himself in favor of the
one board plan, will vole against the
Hackett resolution. He will probably
issue a statement giving his reasons
। for so doing, but he will make no ac-
I live fight against the amendment as
• Governor Colquitt formerly did for
Eenate joint resolution 12.
Friends of tha Uniyersity cast their
fortunes with Governor Ferguson in
his plea before the Legislature for the
one board plan and they will probably
vote with the Governor in the matter
—that is, members of the board of
regents. Acting President Battle, and
those in authority will do so. Ro far
as the University is concerned, there
will be no active fight either. for or
against the amendment and every man
will exercise his own judgment as to
the amendment's merits.
The seeds of discontent sown when
Renata Joint resolution No. 12 was
pending were so many that tha ques-
tion has arine-can Texas now adopt
any new constitutional amendments.
Unquestionably the fight made on this
on* resolution in 1913 was responsible
for the death of every other amend-
ment submitted.

“The real question between tho two
governments is what reparation must
be made for a breach of treaty obli-
gations, and that is not a question
within the jurisdiction of a prize
court.
“In my note on the subject the gov-
ernment of the United States re-
quested that ’full reparation be made
by tli® imperial German government
for the destruction of the William P.
Frye. Reparation necessarily Includes
an Indemnity for the actual pecuniary
loss sustained, and the government of
the United States takes this oppor-
tunity to assure the imperial Ger-
man government that such an in-
demnity if promptly paid will be ac-
cepted as satisfactory reparation, but
it does not rest with a prize court to
determine what reparation should be
made, or what reparation would be
satisfactory to the government of the
United States
“Your excellency states that in the
event the prize court should not grant
indemnity In acordance with the
treaty requirements the German gov-
ernment would not hesitnte to arrange
for equitable indemnity, but it is also
necessary the government of the
United States should bo satisfied with
the amount of the Indemnity and it
would seem to be more appropriate
and convenient that an arrangement
for equitable indemnity should - be
agreed upon now rather than later.

on the question of the amount of in-
