German Memorandum on the Arabic.

The brief official communication from Ber-
lin on the case of the Arabic outlines the posi-
ton OF the German government in that specific
instance only. II does not close the matter. but
leaves the way open for the further presentation
OF the views OF the kaiser on the matter. AS 1t
stands. the incident turns on the action OF the
commander OF the submersble, who had been in
structed not to fire on a merchantman without
warning, but who reports that he acted In what
he deemed to be an emergency requiring him to
defend his own craft. That such instructions
had been given to the COMMANDERS of Germany
undersea fleet is a partial recognition Of the
claims for neutral and noncombatant rights set
the note of the president in the Lustania case.
and on which our grievance turns, Is the demand
for a disayowal by the German government OF
the action OF the captain of the submarine In
torpedolng that liner without warning. This
yet remains TO be answered, but should be an
swered categoricaly. The question OF indem-
nifty can easily await future determination. In
the tone OF the present communication may be
found support for the belief that the German
government is steadily approaching the point Of
yielding its whole position as to the Lusitanla.

OMAHA, Sept 10.--To the Editor of The

deal with hay fever sufferers is TO put
them out of their misery with chloroform.
] really mean this statement to be
taken literally notwithstanding that Il
may seem to class me as well as some Of
Omaha's most respected citizens with
stray CANNES, supernumeracy cats and
other excess baggage.
Although probably originated by some
poor sufferer rendered desperate by the
pangs of his disease, whose intent was to
secure peace ct any price, the method
has the approval of physicians The medi-
cal man, however, advise that much
judiciousness be mingled with the treat
ment
1t was discovered that to relieve hay
fever 1t is not necessary to continue the
treatment until the patient is gone beyond
recall. Soothing sleep and several hours
surcease of torture may be secured by
q few moments inhalation of a weak
solution of the kindly drug.
Hay fever sufferers who used to run the
risk OF making drug fiends of themselves
by spraying their tortured membranes
with solutions OF cocaine or other de-
rivatives of the soporific poppy. are now
barred from that relief by federal statute,
unless a physician lends his aid. which is
