WILL DISAVOW ACT
GERMANY MAKES KNOWN INTEN
TIONS IN ARABIC MATTER.
PROMISES U. S. SATISFACTION
If Ship Was Sunk Without Warning
Reparation for Loss of Americans
Will Be Made.
Washington, D. C.—Germany’s in
tention to offer full satisfaction to the
United States for the sinking of the
White Star liner Arabic with the loss
of two American lives formally was
communicated to the state depart
ment by Count von Bernstorff, Ger
man ambassador, acting on instruc
tions from the foreign office of the
imperial German government.
The memorandum read to Robert
Lansing, secretary of state, by Count
von Bernstorff, outlined the position
of the German government in the
Arabic case and promised that if it
is found that the Arabic was attacked
without warning, the imperial Ger
man government not only would dis
avow the act, but would give the
United States "full satisfaction.”
This it is known would have to in
clude reparation for the Americans
lost and assurances that such trage
dies would not be repeated.
it has become known that the state
department has been informed that
Germany is ready to renew discussion
of the Lusitania incident and to offer
reparation for the American lives lost
"hen that vessel was sent to the bot
tom without warning by a German
submarine. There has been no re
sponse to the last American note on
the subject and it is known that the
l tilted States will not listen to rep
aration [proposals with the situation
created by the sinking of the Arabic
still pending. With the attack on the
Arabic disavowed, however, and guar
antees given against repetition, a Ger
man communication explaining that
the Lusitania was torpedoed as a re
rrisal against Great Britain under a
misapprehension that she was armed
and that killing of Americans was re
gretted and not intended, and offer
ing reparation, probably would pave
the way for an amicable settlement.
Welch Miners Again Strike.
London.—Reports from the South
Wales coal fields state that 25,0uo
miners have joined the new strike.
The recurrence of labor troubles is
due to growing dissatisfaction with
the award of Watler Runciman, presi
dent of the board of trade, who acted
as arbitrator in the recent strike. The
situation was strained further when
the colliers learned that Mr. Runci
man had declined to see a deputation
representing them. The miners charge
Mr. Runciman with going behind the
mangefhents made by David Lloyd
George and demand that Mr. Lloyd
Geroge make good his promises.

SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least so Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists Is
Concerned.
Truman H. Newberry's comments on
Our naval equipment serve to remind
us that a favorite theme of the artist
—the sea battle—is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles, if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones.
Perry, Farragut. Nelsotf and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely a matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en
gage. a few seconds’ firing would re
duce millions of dollars' worth of
ships to scap-iron shambles.
And when the Skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the tra
ditions of sea fighting have been up
set.
it was predicted mat modern war
fare on land would be stripped of all
its former aspects, but we are told of
bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards
apart, of steel helmets and even of full
suits of armor being used. Yet on the
sea what destruction has been
wrought has been through methods
far removed from the oid-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes of
other days won their fame.

Hint for camping and fishing par

the annoying experience of finding
yourselves miles from a store and all
the matches in your possession so
damp that they could not be used.
A fact worth knowing is that matches
can be made waterproof without in

and they are ready for use. The par
affin does not interfere with their use
in the regular way and they are ab

Food for the
Business
Trenches
It takes the highest type of nerve
and endurance to stand the strain at
the battle front of modern business.
Many fail. And often the cause
is primarily a physical one—improper
food—malnutrition. It is a fact that
much of the ordinary food is lacking
in certain elements —the mineral salts
—which are essential to right building
of muscle, brain and nerve tissue.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made of whole wheat and barley, contains ^^ / *
these priceless nerve and brain-building * ^ '
elements in highest degree.
Grape-Nuts food is easy to digest—nourishing—economical—delicious, and
as a part of the menu of modern business men and women helps wonderfully
in building up the system for strenuous demands—and keeping it there.
