MANY Horses made I'LL
BY Glover POISONING

Many horses in the country about
Middletown are suffering with pois.
oning caused by red alsike clover.
While it affects all horses that roam
in the clover fields. horses with
white markings particularly are sus-
ceptible to it. Many farmers in
recent years about st. Georges and
adjacent hundreds have put down
much alsike clover, and recently many
horses turned loose in those fields
have been made i'll snd poisoned by
it. The clover causes Inflammation
and blisters to appear on the horses,
and the blisters are mole virulent on
white markings than ony othcl place.
The horses also inhale the poison
which affects the membranes. The
poisoning yields to treatment by
veterinarians, but lays the horses up
for awhile.

ARBITRATE THE
ARABIC sinking
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-secre-
tary Lansing left the President after
a forty-minute conference this morn
ing. Lansing declined to talk. He
drove away instead of walking as
usual. to avoid newspaper men. He
said ne would see them at the de-
partment later.
The secretary said he would make
no statement following the ambassa-
doris visit, as ne considered it con-
fidential. He added that no word
had come from Vienna regarding the
American governments request for
Dumba's recall
Although Lansing declared no policy
has yet been decided upon regarding
the Arabic, information regarded as
reliable was that the government Will
consent to the arbitration proposals.
Arbitration will hinge upon the sole
question Of fact, a high state depart
ment official stated, of whether the
submarine commander was justified
or not in believing he was to be at
tackled by the Arabic. Because Of the
real issue of fact raised, officials do
not see how arbitration can be well
refused.
II was officially announced that the
supplementary note received from
Berlin on submarine warfare was a
report of the Admiralty regarding the
submarine attack on the Orduna. Sec
retary Lansing said the memorandum
would probably be made public
shortly.
