BULGARIA SIGNS TREATY
WITH TURKEY, SAYS BERLIN
Agreement Said to Have Been Reach
ed Between Sublime Porte and
Balkan Neighbor.

Berlin, Monday: "Official reports
from Sofia and Constantinople state
that Turkey and Bulgaria have sign
ed new treaty, Turkey granting
Bulgaria her desired direct railroad
connection with the sea and Bulgaria
agreeing to observe a benevolent neu-
trality."
According to the German view
point, the treaty between Bulgaria
and Turkey is said to mean benevo-
lent neutrality, if not more.
This demonstrates the definite
failure of the efforts Of the Entente
powers. to revive the alliance OF the
Balkan states and induce them to
join in the war against Turkey"
Unofficial reports late in July were
that convention had been signed on
July %, by which Turkey ceded to
Bulgaria the Turkish portion of the
Dedeaghatch railway. The reports
stated that the treaty left Bulgaria
unpledged.
That Bulgaria had not been pledg-
ed to any course as regards the war
has been the assumption under which
negotiations have been conducted by
the Allies. Several unofficial reports
concerning Bulgaria's diplomatic ac-
tivities appeared to confirm this view.

ARABIC MAY CAUSE BREAK
in DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
Government at Washington Is Await
ing Official Dispatches on
It's Destruction.

Until official information Is receiv-
ed on the sinking Of the Arabic there
will be no statement of the Ameri-
can governments position and high
officials will not discuss the subject.
Secretary Lansing dsmissc: inter-
viewers with a negative answer when
asked If additional reports have been
received from Ambassador Page.
1t was understood that the all i'm
portant report awaited before the
United States determines whether
Germany has committed q "deliber-
ately unfricnd'y" act is expected
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin.
Severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany is being discussed as
the step that would follow determi-
nation that the sinking OF the Arabic
was deliberately unfriendly. Wheth-
er such an action would be taken
without first consulting congress is a
matter of speculation. Some identi-
fed with the administration believe
that congress- should be called togcth-
er before anything is done that might
lead to war.

SUBMARINES VERY ACTIVE
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
Underwater Graft Get Fourteen
Steamers I'm Two Days Max
ing 47,89s Tons.

Fourteen steamers, with a total
gross tonnage of 47,69S were de-
stroyed by German submarines in the
4S hours making up last Thursday
and Friday. This toll establishes a
record for the period.
The recrudescence Of submarine
activity began August IL and in the
week ending August 1S the British
admiralty reports thirteen vessels of
total tonnage of 22,97O were sunk.
eleven OF them by underwater craft
and two by mines. This makes a to-
tai known loss of 70,66S tons of
shipping in nine days.
Underwater craft torpedoed Fri
day the British steamers Restormel,
2,118 tons; Baron Erskine, 5,5S5
tons; Bittern, 1877 tons, and the
Ben Brachie, 3,90S tons; the Norwe-
gian steamers Sverresborg, 674 tons.
and Bras, 1851 tons. and the Span
ish steamer Peria Castillo. 1920
tons.
The vessels sunk Thursday were
the Arabic, 5,S01 tons; Grodno, l.
955 tons; Serbino, 2,205 tons, and
Magda, 1908 tons, a total of 21,O24.
All these were British except the
Magda, which was Norwegian.
A submarine halted the Norwegian
mail steamer Irma, within Norwegian
territorial waters, but disappeared
before torpedoing the vessel when
warned by Norwegian torpedo boat
that the attack which apparently was
intended would constitute a violation
Of neutrality.

0BREGON TURNS HIS BACK
ON FOREIGN PEACEMAKERS
Says Carranza Represents Mexico
With Other Nations-Washingto
Sees Pessimistic Outlook.

The hopes of the administration
and Latin conferees that their peace
plan for Mexico would bear fruit, re-
ceived crushing setback Saturday
when Gen. Obregon, the military
leader, transmitted his reply to their
appeal and announced that he stood
solidly behind Con. Carranza.
1t is now plain that Carranza will
absolutely refuse to consent to Pan
American settlement OF the Mexican
problem. The Constitutional civil
governors and military commanders
will back him up to man. The ten
days allowed for reply by Secretary
Lansing in his note to all Mexican
factions expires next Tuesday.
There is now much pessimism
about the state department over the
Mexican situation as the administra-
ton had some hope that Gen. Obre-
gon would break with CarranZa and
accept the proffered peace parleys.
On the contrary, he declines to ac-
cept or respond to the note officially,
and says he has forwarded 1t to Car
rama for his disposition He an
nounces also that CaIranza is Mexi-
cos sole representative in all dealings
with other nations.

RUSSIANS ARE PROUD OF
GREAT NAVAL TRIUMPH
Official Report Tells How Battle Be

Petrograd, Monday: The naval bat
tie in the Gulf of Riga is described
as follows in a statement from navy
headquarters:

attacks on our fort at the entrance
to the Gulf of Riga. Our ships dur
Ing the sixteen and seventh repulsed

taking advantage of a thick fog.
hostile forces Of considerable size en-
tered the Gulf on the eighteenth and
our vessels retired, at the same time
continuing to resist the enemy with
out losing touch with him.
ION the nineteenth and twentieth
the enemy reconnoitered in different
directions at the same time keeping
up fight with our ships, in which
our torpedo boat flotilla suffered ma
terial losses. On our side we lost the
funboat Sivutch, which perished glo-
riously in an equal fight with an
enemy cruiser which was escorting
torpedo craft and came up to a dis
tance OF four yards from her. The
Sivutch, enveloped in flames, con-
tinued to reply shot for shot until she
sank, having previously sunk enemy
torpedo boats.
"In view Of the losses suffered and
the futility Of his efforts, the enemy
appears to have evacuated the Gulf of
Riga on the twenty-first.
Between the sixteenth and twen-
ty-frst, two enemy cruisers and no
fewer than eight torpedo boats were
either sunk or placed hors de combat.
simultaneously our gallant allies
succeeded in torpedoing in the Baltic
one OF the most powerful dread
noughts Of the German fleet"

GERMANS MUST PREPARE
FOR PEACE WITH HONOR
Reports Secret Confer
ence-Empire at End of Fin
ancial Resources.

Amsterdam reports via London: AT
the secret conference Of cabinet min
listers, political leaders and influen-
tlal writer's called by the German i'm
perial chancellor before the reassem-
bling OF the reichstag last Thursday
to discuss the political situation, the
Telegram says Karl Heilfferish, sec
retary of the treasury, explained that
the new German war loan would COM
pletely exhaust the empires financial
resources and that the increase in the
exechequer bonds would cause bank
ruptcy. Therefore DR.. Heifferish
urged, 1t was need to prepare for an
honorable peace.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
according to the same report, de-
clared that the difficulties of the en-
pire were increasing and advised his
hearers to use their influence to soft
en- down bellicose inclinations on ex-
pansion policy in the reichstag and
the country and carefully to prepare
peace proposals which would be ac-
ceptable to the four members of the
Entente.
DR.. Bernhard Dernberg's report of
the failure of his mission in the
United States and other neutral coun-
tries, the Telegraph says, made a
strong impression on the conference.
General Won Moltke, former chief
OF the general staff, declared that he
fully agreed with the chancellor and
added that only those not fully in
formed on the situation could hope
for the possibility of complete Rus
sian.
Despite these declarations, the
story concludes, the meeting refused
to adopt resolution advocating mod
Grafton in the reichstag, whereupon
the chancellor declared that If a ma
Jority in the reichstag should show
an irreconcilable chauvinistic attitude
he would be Obliged to resign, as he
could not accept responsibility for
Germany's disaster.

LANSING CABLES GERARD
ASKING FOR INFORMATION
Secretary Of State Asks Ambassador
II Germans Have Official
Report.

Secretary Lansing Monday cabled
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin asking
II the German government had re-
ceived an official report on the sink
ing of the Arabic. The ambassador,
however, was not instructed to ask
for one.
1t was officially stated that the
American government Is not yet at
all sure of the facts and considers it's
Information very fragmentary.
The point now in doubt is as to
whether Germany will claim that the
change of,course of the liner Just be-
fore she was attacked led the subma-
rine ommander to believe that she
was attempting hostile act against
him.
The administration is maintaining
an open mind and no statement as to
the course to be pursued will be is
sued.
Discussion continued Monday as to
the possibility OF the United States
breaking off diplomatic relations with
Germany in the event It is decided
that the sinking OF the Arabic was a
deliberately unfriendly act"

LIFTS OFF CENSORSHIP;
SENDS OVER SOME NEWS
British Admiralty Makes Statement
Concerning TorpedOing OF
the Arabic.

While American officials have fail
ed to understand the action Of the
British censor who shut off all news
OF the Arabic, the British admiralty
made the following announcement
Monday: "The Arabic was unarmed
passenger ship, outward bound to a
neutral port. II was thus impossible
for her to have been carrying contra
band to this country.
She was sunk by a German sub
marine without warning and she
neither attempted to attack the sub
marine nor to escape from it,
Survivors of the Dunsley said that
she was torpedoed just before the
Arabic was sunk and that the Ger
man submarine hid behind the Duns-
ley to wait for the Arabic.

posses were upon tho track of the
aDductors. 1t was not done from
any ferocious motive of inflicting
unnecessary pain, as Is shown by the
fact that Frank was not harmed in
any way before his death, but be-
cause 1t seemed to their minds of a
piece with the justice they conceived
themselves to be executing. The
whole affair was carried out methodi-
cally and with n plodding following
out OF prearranged details.
The murderors had not only plan
ned tho crime for months, but had
arranged its mechanism scientifically,
and only one of tho elements in IL
went wrong. That was the plan for
the juGction OF two parties at Mil
ledgevillt at 10 o'clock, the hour for
which the abduction was planned.
That simply postponed tho kidnap-
ping until midnight, and resulted in
the hanging OF Frank in broad day
light instead of at little rfter dawn
That slight alteration was the only
change made necessary by any hitch
in the arrangements.
Did Not Beg for His Life.
Leo Frank died bravcly. He did
not beg for his life; indeed, he did
not say anthing except when no was
spoken to, and then ne answered col
lectedly. His ,bdpctors had little to
say to him, as was in keeping with
the character they gro in their own
eyes-tho character of officers OF
justice, sternly and c.lently executing
sentence already dc 'rocd by q regu-
lar tribunal.
How this delusion could have set
tied upon q whole community may
be hard to understand. But the OK
tent to which 1t went may be under
stood by the fact that tie lynchers
would have with them no men of
lawless character or bad reputation.
The lawless and the violent men of
Cobb county, those with celebrity
as such. were not permitted to know
what was going on, and would not
have been permitted to participate.

GREAT BRITAIN NOW SAYS
COTTON IS CONTRABAND
Makes Official Announcement on Sat-
urday-France to Follow
Suit Soon.

Cotton has been declared absolute
contraband by Great Britain, accord
ing to. statement issued by the
British foreign office Saturday after
noon.
The statement declares that the
government proposes to initiate
measures to relieve depression which
might temporarily disturb the cotton
market because OF the contraband
order.
1t was learned upon inquiry at the
foreign office that the French gov
ernment will issue a similar notice
at an early date.
The announcement follows: "His
MaJesty's government has declared
cotton absolute contraband. While
the circumstances might have justi-
fed such action at an earlier period,
his Majesty's government are glad to
think that local conditions of Ameri-
can interests likely to be affected are
more favorable for such a step than
they were year ago, and, moreover,
MS MaJesty's government contem-
plate initiation of measures to re-
lieve as far as possible any abnormal
depression which might temporarily
disturb market conditions"
The declaration is effective from
Saturday. A royal proclamation con-
corning the action was published in
a supplement of the London Gazette
issued Saturday night. 1t is very
brief. After preamble citing pre-
vious proclamations concerning con-
traband, it says:
Now, therefore, we do hereby de-
clare. by and with the advice of our
privy council, that during the contin-
uance OF the war, or until we do give
further public notice, the following
articles will be treated as absolute
contraband in addition to those set
out In our royal proclamations afore-
mentioned:
Raw cotton, cotton linters, cot
ton waste and cotton yarn.
And we do hereby further declare
that this, our royal proclamation,
shall take effect from the date of it's
publication in the London Gazette" ="
