is the note OF Count Won Bern

lowing instructions:
THE orders issued by His Ma
jesty. the emperor, to the COM
manders OF the German submarines,
of which l notified you on previ-
Gus occasion, have been made SO
stringent that the recurrence of in
cidents similar to the Arabic case
Is considered out OF the question.
According to the report of Com
mander Schneider of the subma-
rine which sank the Arabic and his
affidavit, as well as those Of his
men, Commander Schneider was
to ram the submarine.
ON the other hand the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith OF the affidavit of the Brit
ish officers Of the Arabic. accord
ing to which the Arabic did not In
tend to ram the submarine. The at
tack Of the submarine was under
taken against the instructions is
sued to the commander. The i'm
perial government regrets and dis
avows this act and has notified
Commander Schneider accordingly.
Under these circumstances my
government is prepared to pay an
indemnity for American lives. I am
authorized to negotiate with you
about the amount of this indemnity
Il remain. my dear Mr.. Lansing,
yours very sincerely.

cation-America Contends That
Burden Of Proof Is on Great Britain
to Show Neutral Goods Are Destined
For Germany.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Secretary
Lansing today indicated that the
supplementary note on the Arabic case
had cleared the way for the submis-
sion of the American note to Great
Britain on neutral trade. The note
has been completed and is ready to be
forwarded to Ambassador Page. 1t is
a lengthy document.
1t is understood the note does not
specifically cover the problems of the
Chicago packers, who were pressing
the state department to make repre-
sentations in regard to the products
held up and, in part, contlscated by
British prize courts. This subject
probably will be covered in a separate
communication, altho the course to
be followed has not been finally de-
termined.
Burden Of Proof on England.
The note, 1t is understood. contends
that the burden Of proof is on the
British government to show that goods
of neutral nations destroyed or seized

TIMES CHANGED INDEED.


One commentator says that II Boil
Ingersoll were alive today, not q cor
porals guard would pay so cents to
hear him lecture-the world has out
grown that kind of attack. one can
not be too sure Of that. For one thing,
il Ingersoll were alive he would be up
to date, for he was that kind of n man.
We believe that thousands would go
to hear him lecture for the sake Of his
vocabulary and his diction and eo-
quence alone. He was as interesting
on Shakespeare as on the Mistakes Of
Moses. He could illuminate any sub
ject Take his speech nominating
Blaine in the convention OF 1880, there
is still nothing better in our political
oratorv.
But If he talked some of the things
he did talk, we would not care for
him now. 1t Is true that we have out
grown those attacks. He rallied at in
fant damnation, but such ratings
would not pass muster now. The rea-
son is that there were people who be-
lieved in the doctrine Of infant dam
nation, while now there are none. The
same remarks can be made about jon
athan Edwards. the great preacher II
he came now with his message oi
damnation for 80 per cent Of the hu-
man race, infant damnation and al
the other things that belonged to the
theology OF that age, who would pa.

The world keeps on growing bi
and 1t has long since outgrown the
| outrageous doctrines of the Ed
Edwardses and it has also outgrow,
the attacks on them by men like tn.

Monday midnight the mob from

would have tc break down the Jail to
get the negro and while they were
pounding on the inner Jail door with
sledge hammers the sheriff escaped
and gave the alarm.
Meanwhile other members Of the
mob first begged and then commanded
the sherifrs wife to produce the keys,
but their revolvers brought no more
terror to her than they had to the
sheriff. The mob fled in automobiles
when lookouts gave alarm Of the
posses coming. Last night Sheriff
Hawkins swore in several deputies to
help guard the Jail.
