note concerning the Aabic:
ON its face 1t appears to be most
gratifying and If the acts OF the Ger.

amends are made for the lives lost
on the Lusitania and Arabic and for
the Gulflight and Falaba and similar
cases, and il there is no provision
expressed or implied as to action on
our part, such as was requested by
Germany before as regards England
and France. the results in every way
will be satisfactory.
Il wish to call attention, however,
to one thing This Is In no sense Of
confession from Germany, as It has
been styled in some papers. It is an
announcement that she intends 10
stop the policy OF assassination. To
stop the policy establishes no claim
for gratitude and I take II for granted.
of course, there will be the most am.
pie amends, so far as such amends
are possible, made not only for the
property but for the 100 lives Of
American men. women and children
who have been assassinated during
the four months and over that the
policy has been carried out"

Bitter Campaign in Progress Because
Of Coming Prohibition
Election.

St Johns, Newfoundland--The ques-
zion of prohibition of the liquor traf
fic is the leading issue in one OF the
most bitter campaigns ever fought in
Newfoundland. An election will be
held in November when a vote will
be taken on prohibition bill refer
-ad 20 the people by the last legis-
tature.
AS there would be great difficulty
in importing liquor into a territory
completely surrounded by water. it is
believed that il prohibition should
become a fact in Newfoundland the
world would see the most complete
demonstration of the working OF a
prohibition law ever known. The ap-
proval OF 40 per cent Of the electo-
rate is necessary before the prohibit
ton can become a law.
