London, June 5.—‘‘We are willing
to converse but not to negotiate with
German labor,” says Arthur Hender-
son, Labor leader in the House "of
Commons, in a statement referring to
an announcement made by Chester M.
Wright, a member of the American
labor mission which visited England
which implied that the policy of Mr.
Henderson and his party had been
radicaly modified, especially regard-
ing a conference between the allied
and German workers.
"The keynote of the new interna-
tional system at which the allied
workers aimed,” says Mr. Henderson
“was a league of nations, including
not only all the present belligerents,
but every other independent state.
Their plan also means, as President
Wilson has repeatedly declared, the
renunciation of any financial and eco-
nomic boycott of Germany.
"We have declined from the first to
associate ourselves in any conference
organized with a view to negotiating
a peace.
“From that position there has been
no departure. It has been reaffirmed
in the war memorandum adopted by
the British Labor party. Upon 'the
conditions laid down in that memo-
randum, but for that purpose only, the
allied working class parties desire to
meet representatives of the working
class movement from the central em-
pires.
“We seek to unite the German peo-
ple with us in an effort to overthrow
militarism and imperialism, which is
as much their enemy as it is ours.”
TOTAL ECLIP8E OF SUN SAT-
URDAY.
The advancement of the human
ance through the dissemination of sci-
entific knowledge can not be better
Illustrated than the fact that the ap-
proaching total eclipse of the sun
Lolda no terror for® he people in gen-
eral In bygone ages when the human
race was still young, the solar eclipse
'was looken upon with fear and tremb-
ling by the ignorant and superstitious
Who interpreted the strange phenome-
non as an indication of approaching
•calamities. The hand of God was seen
Sn the terror inspiring phenomenon
and on several momentous occasions,
the sudden coming of eclipses in the
midst of great battles have changed
the tide of victory.
'With the advancement of learning
the eclipse has been shorn of all its
superstitious fear and terror, and peo-
ple today behold the marvelous phe-
nomenon as the working of a great sci-
'entiflc law. The solar eclipse is indeed
the most wonderful of all phenomena
known to science, for what is more
inspiring than to behold in the middle
t>f a cloudless and fine summer day,
the dazzling disc of the sun gradually
^diminish and finally to become a thin
(thread of pale light and entirely dis-
appear?
A total elipse- of the sun will occur
Saturday, June 8. Partial eclipse will
continue for several minutes but the
period of totality will be very brief.
People who care to witness the eclipse
-are warned to use smoked glass, as
the eyesight is liable to be seriously
-injured if some protection is not pro-
vided.

PRESIDENT EXTENDS LIST
OF ENEMIES OF NATION
Washington, June 6.—President Wil-
*oa Wednesday extended the list of
enemies of the United States under
powers under the trading with the en-
emy adt. Under his proclamation the
fallowing are designated as enemies:
Any woman residing outside of the
United States who is a citizen of an
enemy nation or whose husband is an
-officer or agent of an enemy agent or
who is carrying on business activities
with enemy nations.
AJI persons whom the allied nations
at war with the central powers have
-found it necessary to intern or hold
as prisoners of way.
tries, who have assisted in the dissem-
ination of German propaganda or in
plotting or intriguing against the
United States or the government of
any of the allied nations.
All. individuals, citizens of neutral
Countries, whom the war trade board
may hereafter formally name on the
enemy trading, list
All citizens of enemy countries^ no
matter where they reside now, who
have resided within the territory of
enemy powers since Aug. 4, 1914.
The proclamation requires officers
or correspondents and trustees within
the United States to furnish within
thirty days to the alien- property cus-
todian a list of whatever holdings
there are whose ownership includes
individuals within the newly classified
list of enemies. Debtors to persons
now made enemies also are required
to furnish a statement to the custo-
dian, under such rules and regulations
as lhay be provided.
BRITISH WORKERS WOULD
MEET THOSE OF GERMANY.
PUBLISHERS ASK FOR CUl/
IN PRICE OF PRINT PAPER
Washington,^une 6.—Arguments in
the news print paper hearing by the
federal trade commission were con-
cluded^with the submission of a re-
quest by representatives of the Amer-
ican Newspaper Publishers’ Associa-
tion that the price fixed should not be
higher than 2i cegts a pound. Coun-
self for the manufacturers previously
urged that the maximum ..price be at
least 4c. Paper is now selling by
agreement At 3c a pound.
Frank P. Glass, president of the
Publishers’ Association, issued a state-
ment which said in part:
“The total consumption of news
print in this country is about 2,000,-
000 tons. The difference between the
4c and 2$c a pound is-$30 a ton, mak-
ing an aggregate difference of about
160,000,000 per year between the price
asked for the rilanufacturers and that
asked for the publishers.
“The attorneys of the American
Newspaper Publishers’ Association
expressed their confidence in the dis-
position and determination of the
commission to reach a fair and reas-
onable price from the evidence and
the arguments submitted."
TAX COLLECTORS OF STATE
GET IN REPORTS ON tlME
Austin, Texas, June 5.—Previous
records have been broken by tax col-
lectors this year in filing their annual
statements with the comptroller’s de-
partment, 200 so far having made
their reports out of a total of 250
counties in Texas. While the law re-
quires that such reports shall be filed
on or before May 1, it seldom has
been complied with. In fact, In the
past collectors started filing their re-
ports the latter part of May and the
last of the reports were not received
until September 1. Chief Tax Clerk
Tabor now believes that all reports
will have been filed by June 15. There
also are fewer delinquent taxpayers
than ever before, despite war condi-
tions.
URGE POSTPONEMENT

Washington, June 6—Postponement

March 17, and then going to Stadr

Administration are also Miss Elizabeth
Kelley and John D. Barry. These two
speakers will speak at Denison, Mc-
Kinney, Weatherford, Denton, Cle
burne, Ennis, Waxahachie, Terrell.
Paris, Clarksville and Mt. Pleasant.
Mr. Mitchell’s trip through England
and France under the auspices of the
Food Administration was for the pur-
pose of observing actual conditions un-
der which the civilian population and
the armies live, and these actual condi-
tions, with the consequect obligations
they impose on the United States, ft
will present in his address.
European officials extended every
courtesy to Mr. Mitchell and his Ssso-
ciatea on the U. S. Food Administra-
tion’s Cqmmission in order that the
survey might be accurate and in a
measure official.
Mr. Mitchell was taken through the
army camps, English and French,
spending days with the fighting men,
and living on the ration served the sol-
diers.
His visit to General Pershing’s
camp, and his talks with American
staff officers, will prove to be deeply
interesting to Americans generally,
who will also be interested in Mr.
Mitchell’s report of agricultural con-
ditions in France and England.

Hobby has written Director General
McAdoo, asking that free transporta-

attend the next annual meeting of the
Texas’ Farmers’ Institute. His letter
follows:
“It has been brought to my atten-

the question be looked into, and, if
possible, free transportation granted
to these delegates?”
