DECLARES HONOR OF
NATION IS AT STAKE
State Department Official Declares the
Arabic Tragedy Involves the
Dignity of the U. s.

Washington, Aug. 21.-"This is no
time for hasty action. The situation
created by the torpedoing of the Ara
bic is too serious to permit snap
judgment. Neither the president nor
the state department will make a sin
gle move in the case until all of the
facts have been gathered by Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular agents
and are before them
THE honor and dignity of the ma
ton are involved, but the people can
rest assured that their interests are
SAFE"
That was the only word forthcom-
ing from administration sources re-
garding the situation precipitated by
the sinking of the White Star Liner
Arabic. The statement came from the
one man in the government service
who knows the presidents mind.
By direct order of the executive, all
officials were prohibited from talk
ing for publication. The slogan of
suspend Judgment until we have all
of the facts" enunciated by the pres
ident to Secretary of State Lansing
within half an hour after the word OF
the sinking of the liner reached this
country, will be rigidly adhered to.

Fox Farms Fall.

Many failures in the new industry
OF fox farming in Alaska are recorded
by e. Lester Jones, deputy commits
sioner of fisheries, in the report on his
recent investigation in Alaska for the
department of commerce. He finds
that the promise of big profits caused
many to rush into the business, and
small fortunes were sunk by men who
did not understand the difficulties Of
the industry.
The rush to raise foxes, the commits
sioner says, was due to the exorbitant
prices paid for live black and silver
gray foxes raised in Canada. These
prices, he declares. did not indicate q
healthy condition in the industry. New
ertheless there was a rush to raise
foxes in Alaska in the hope of reaping
big profits quickly. One of the chief
reasons for the large majority of fail.
ures, according to the commissioner,
was the governments system OF leas-
ing certain islands to prospective fox
farmers at a minimum of 5000 a year
for five years. The figure proved too
high.

Flowers for Summer Table.

1t is so easy, in the country. to
keep the house charming with fresh
fowers-and any number of vases full
will cost nothing at all. II you have
not garden of your own-and there
seems no reason why every woman
should not have tiny garden at least
If her country domain admits of space
to grow them in-the field flowers will
answer almost as well. Glover makes
an enchanting bouquet, goldenrod is
delightful in brown and yellow living
room or in great jars on the porch. The
lovely blue gentians, and blue road
side asters are equally charming In
slender glass vases. A bit of wire
netting fitted into the top of low fern
dish will make 1t possible to use small
flowers to good advantage on the
breakfast table. Pansies are lovely
used in this way. Nasturtiums or
sweet peas will make bed of glowing
color IL the stems are thrust through
the wire netting Of such a receptacle.

Breaks Legislative Record.

Madison.-When the Wisconsin
legislature came to close on August
oath; the 224th day of legislative
record was passed, exceeding all rec
ords of Wisconsin lawmaking bodies.
Two years ago the session was 213
days long One peculiar result Of
the long session was the fact that
messengers, who drew $3.50 per day,
each received $50 more salary than
member of the legislature. Their to-
tai incomes for the session will have
been $3.50, while the members get
only $500 for the session.
