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."

Heport froas lierard.
No report had been received from Am
Imsaadnr CJcrard, but news dispatches In
formed official that the ambassador had,
made Inquiry and found that the govern
ment at Merlin had no reports on the
sinking of tho Arabic.
There Is notable relaxation of tension
at the While House and at the Btate de-
, mart, nl.io at bothi,roop hlrh P-trolled strategic point
.. . . . , .
place that whll official were much en
couraged by the apparent desir of Oer
many to avoid a break with th I'nlted
Plates, the president will not finally de
cide on his course until he ha before
him a definite statement of the Berlin
government's Intention.
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.
