More Than $50 Shells Are Hurled on

Press dispatches have indica ted that
the principal belligerents have built
great numbers of aeroplanes, and as a
result of the development of this

now sent forth in flotillas for organized
assaults on a large scale instead of be-
ing dispatched singly or in pairs, chief
ly for observation purposes.
Yesterdays raid was the third in this
part of Germany during the last three
weeks. August 3 Saarbruecken was
bombarded, and three days later the
neighboring towns of st. Ingbert and
Zweibrucken were attacked. Eight per-
sons were killed in the latter raid.

HAITIAN ASSEMBLY
DISCUSSES TREATY

Action by the Haitian parliament on
the treaty submitted by the United
States proposing the establishment for
ten years of a United States financial
protectorate over the island republic
was awaited today by administration
officials. The United States charge at
Port au Prince had set noon yesterday
as the time for approval of the treaty.
but the Haitians protested against lin
tied debate in parliament, and the time
was extended until tonight.
Solon Menos the Haitian minis ter.
conferred with Mr.. Lansing during the
day and presented communication
from his government, requesting an
explanation of certain points in the
American proposals.
Anxious for Understanding.
Although the minister would not dis
cuss the negotiations, he said that he
felt sure that his government was
anxious to bring about an understand
ing with the United States as speedily
as possible. He made it clear that his
government did not oppose the at
tempt of the United States to- bring
about peace and reconstruction in the
island. Riots and ~uprisings. he ex-
planned, were in many cases due to
ignorance of the intentions fof the
United States, and misunderstanding
of the presence of American troops on
Haitian soil.
Il hope and DESIRE said the minis
ter, "thata real entente will be created
between the two peoples. but such au
entente is only possible when both sides
make concessions"

Reparation Proposed.

The tenor of Berlin dispatches late
last night and early today, especially
the declaration of the German chan
cellOr that proper reparation would be
made if the submarine commander eX-
ceeded his instructions and the public
disclosure that Germany after the
sinking of the Lusitania had taken
steps to prevent another such disa ster,
renewed the feeling in official quarters
here that friendly relations between
the two countries would not be broken
by the Arabic incident.
The State Department continues to
gather the facts, and some of the sur
vivors of the Arabic sailed for home
yesterday on the American liner st
Paul. Especial attention has been Civ
Ell the statement by the captain of the
Arab that his ship when attacked was
at least two miles distant from the
steamer Dunsley. which already had
been torpedOed This was regarded by
officials as important, because of its
bearing upon suggestions that a tor
pedo directed at the Dunsley might
have struck the Arabic. Other testi-
mony received shows that the Arabic
actually had passed the Dunsley and
had contented herself with transmit
ting wireless message to the shore
stations reporting the Dunsley to be
in need of help.

Asks Judgment Be Delayed.
Having given these instructions, Ger
many asked suspension of judgment on
the Arabic case until the facts were
ascertained. being confident it will be
shown that the sinking of the vessel
was not an unprovoked attack without
warning by a German submarine. but
was attributable either to a mine eX-
plosion or to some action of the vessel
itself. Should it develop. however. that
a submarine acted contrary to instruc-
tons, ample rcparation will be offered
Chancellor's Statement.
The imperial chancellor's statement
regarding Germany's position on the
sinking of the Arabic follows:
As long as the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking of the Arabic
nave not been fully cleared up. it is
impossible for me to make a definite
statement Thus far we have re-
ceived no report about il. Now we
do not even know whether the sink
ing of the ship was caused by a
mine or by torpedo. fired from
herman submarine nor do we know
whether in this latter case the
Arabic herself may not by her ac-
tions. perhaps. have justified pro-
ceedings of the commander of the
submarine.
Only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up will it be pos
Slble to say whether the commander
of one of our submarines went be-
yond his instructions. in which case
the imperial government would not
hesitate to give such a complete
satisfaction to the United States as
would conform to the friendly rela-
tions existing between both govern
ments.
