was felt to be the case.
Until the pending negotiations are

tie impression prevails that the con-

has held to be the main issue betw cen

Text of Ambassadors Letter.


MY Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Prompted by the desire to reach a
satisfactory agreement with regard
to the Arabic incident, my govern
ment has given me the following in
structions:
The orders issued by his majesty,
the emperor, to the commanders of
the German submarines-of which 1
notified you on previous occasion
has been made so stringent that the
recurrence of incidents similar to
the Arabic case is considered out of
the question.
According TO the report of Com
mander Schneider of the submarine
which sank the Arabic. and his afr
davit. as well as those of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinced
that the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the afidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack of
against the instructions issued to
the commander. The imperial gov
eminent regrets and disavows this
act and has notified Commander
Schneider accordingly.
Under these circumstances my
government is prepared to pay an
Indemnity for American lives. which
to its deep regret have been lost
IN the Arabic. l am authorized to
amount of this indemnity.
Il remain. my dear Mr.. Lansing,
yours very sincerely,

The United States Department of
Agriculture has announced a new
plan to obtain community co-opera-
tion in business and social affairs in
the rural sections. 1t is proposed
that community organizations be
created, and that ten committees be
appointed, five of which shall deal
with the business needs of the conf
munity and five with it's social re-
quirements. There is no doubt but
what much good would result to
communities adopting this plan.
The business bodies are to consist of
committees on farm productions,
marketing, securing farm supplies,
finance and accounting. and commun-
ication and transportation The
plan is we'll worth trying, and farm
conditions would undoubtedly be
materially improved under it.

Great Britain has announced it's

say that it is fragrant violation of
international law, and it is expected
that the United States will Register

of the belligerents have violated in
ternational law, and trampled the
rights of neutrals under foot time
and. time again. 1t is time that a
halt was called. The European ma
tions may have a right to engage lin
a stupendous conflict for no apparent
reason: may also have q right to
bankrupt themselves and sacrifice
millions of lives, but we fail to see
why their senseless work of destruc-
tion should give them the privilege
of paralyzing neutral commerce, and
torpedoing neutral ships. AS the
war proceeds the belligerents become
more and more arrogant, but if the
struggle lasts for time they may all
be humbled into the dust where they
belong. :~.
