Convict Editor, in Farewell, Says Much Gold Among Dross HTH.LWATrTt. Minn.. Aug. W.-The editor of the Htlllaater Ktate Prison Mir ror, whose writings have attracted con-atdi-rablo attention In Minnesota and In other states, has been granted clemency by the State Pnard of t'ardons and wilt depart from, the prison before the end of the present week. In the current issue of the paper the editor, whose name was not mule pub lic by ths board of parole, bids fare wcH to his fellow convicts and expresses sedneia at the parting, "although we havs the yfnl prospect of once mors breathing free air and dwelling where one's sou can once more be one's own and God's." "During our Incarceration here," the editor continues, "we have learned one lessen never ta be forgotten. We have learned there is pupa gold here among the dress; that there are within these walls as good and true hearts as ever dared to throb, men who would make the world better by living In It. were they alt given tho chance. Wo have formed deep-rooted frlendahlps that will last until the rays of life's light are extinguished. We now go out into tha rand of freedom to toll as only a free man can for those who are dearer to us then cur own life ever can be. They who have had the finger of scorn pointed at them from all nooks and corners; they who have suffered un told. Indescribable hardships and de privations because of our absence from the family hearth. "Our greatest sorrow in saying good bye Is that we cannot take you all along to share our Joy and freedom with us. But memory will keep enshrined your names on the tablets of our heart; stone walls and Iron bars shall not break the links of kindness and friendship. "8 good-bye, one and all; good-bye dear old Mirror. May you over prosper and continue to bring cheer to those who may be so unfortunate as to get here from where wo now go forth; may you ever continue to boldly proclaim the right of tho convicted men and women; may you never cease In the good cause for which you were Intended and have steadfastly maintained, and may the time soon come when you can prove to all as you have proved to many that the word 'convict' does not particularly apply to any one class of peoplo, but thst those In prison are 'even as you and I'-just ordinary human beings."

It sems certain now thst there will be diplomatic exchange In th Arabic case. In addition to satisfying tha American government In that, single Instanoe they are expected to take on a character re garding submarine warfare and the gen eral rights of neutrals on the sea. Rtateaaeat by Chancellor. This Is shown clearly by the sttement of Chancellor Von Hethmann-Hollweg Inst night to the Aaaoclsted Press, par ticularly by his concluding remark to tho effect that not until all the circum stance In connection with the sinking of th Arabic had been cleared up would it be possible to say "wheLhor the com mander of one of our submarines went beyond his Instruction" In which case Germany would give complete satisfac tion to tho United Htatea. Furthermore during the conversation th chancellor twice again referred to the instructions given to submarine commanders. He did not specify in detail tho nature of these Instructions, but It may be said that they are designed to prevent a repe tition of the Lusltanla case and to pro vide th opportunity tor eacap for non combatanta on torpedoed chips, which the I'nlted State desire. Oermany still I unabl to understand why Americana In these trouDled times travel ,on belligerent ships Instead of taking American or other neutral steam ers, but since they In som? Instances take pnsxagc on vessels belonging to bel ligerents, Oermany will do Its utmost to provldo for their safety. Position of America Appreciated. It Is not permissible to quote remarks mad by the chancellor In tho .course ot tho conversation. .other than tho formal atatemont which ho made. Jt may bo said, however, that Dr. Von, Bethmann Ilollweg showed genuine Interest In tho state of feeling in the United States concerning tha sinking of the Arablo and expressed th hop the American people would not form an opinion on the basis of conflicting statements giving only one side of the story. He spoke with em phasis of Oermany' desire -.o maintain the friendship of America. Tho chancellor aitpeara to be In good health and spirits and greatly encouraged by th successes achieved by th Ger mans in the eastern campaign. The In terview necessarily was of short dura tion, a the chancellor was hurrying away for a conference with Emperor William, at 1)1 field headquarters. Berastorff Call On Lansing. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3tf.-Count Von Bernstorff. tho German ambansador, con ferred with Secretary Lansing t.esrly an hour this evening, and while both re fused to discuss their meeting in any way, it was understood the ambassador reiterated that It was not the Intention ot the German government that any Americans should be lost on the Arabic. The tenor of Berlin uiapatrhea late last night and early today, especially tha declaration of the Oerman chancellor that proper reparation would bo made If the sunmui'luo commander exceeded hi Instructions, and the public disclosure that Germany, after the sinking ot tho Lusltanla, had taken step to prevent another such disaster, renewed the feel ing In official quarters here that friendly relation between the two rountrle would not be broken by the Arabic in cident. American official have understood for week that German submarine command ers hav been given Instruction after the sli.Vlivg ot tho Lusltanla, derlgned to meet th representation of the United pule, and therefore th sinking of th Arablo waa a douhje shock.
