Germany Makes Promises.


 Turin, Sept. IT. via Paris, 5:15 a. m.-The Stampa says it has learned From 8 diplomatic source" that Germany has made extensive promises to Bulgaria to obtain that nations benevolent neutrality. It states that these promises were made to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg on behalf of Emperor William. and that among them was the stipulation that King Ferdinand should have the crown of Byzantium.
 The dispatch, which lacks authori- tative confirmation, would indicate on it's face a promise to Bulgaria of a radical extension of its boun- daries The ancient Byzantine Elm pire included all the territory now held by the various Balkan nations and European Turkey.

COTTON SLIPS DOWN
 IN UNEVEN MARKET
Close Is Steady, However, at Net Loss of Only 5-S Points. Opening was Steady at Unchanged
 Prices to Gain Points.

New York, May 1S.-The cotton market lost good part of yesterdays improvement during today's trading with the close steady at net loss of 5 to points.
 The opening was steady at unchang- ed prices to an advance of 4 points in response to relatively steady cables and few overnight buying orders, but there was no important demand and prices soon turned easier under scattered Wall street and a little Southern selling. The publication of rather pessimistic forecasts of the ex- pected German note appeared respon- sible for most of the Wall street offer ings and the Southern selling was ac- companied by reports that spot hand lers in the interior were hedging ac- tual. The market steadied at a net decline of about to 9 points and ral lies of or points followed the pub iication of the Western belt forecast calling for unsettled weather With showers or rains tomorrow. Demand failed to improve on this advance, however, and the market was easier again in the afternoon under continu ed scattered selling.
 The close was within point or two of the lowest. It seemed quite gener ally admitted that another prolonged rainy spell in the Southwest might cause serious apprehension as to the new crop start in that section. Re ports from Montgomery said that planting had been nearly completed, with prospects pointing to a reduction of about 12 per cent in acreage. Southern advices also state that most of the recent demand for spots had been met by dealers with producers who still held cotton showing little disposition to meet the decline.

formed quarters here to believe that the president, who returns to Wash ington Thursday, will withhold any contemplated representations to Eng land until Germany's reply is received because of desire for frank under standing with the latter country with out complicating the situation as be- tween the United States and the allies.
 l was known for several weeks that there has been under preparation two notes eventually to be sent to Great Britain, one dealing with the general subject of contraband, and the other embracing general representations on detention of vessels plying between neutral ports carrying non-contraband American goods.

Panuco Recaptured.

Washington, May 1S.-While in- quiries at the state department over the safety of Americans in the Yaqui valley, Mexico, were being answered today with assurance that the colo nlsts were in no present danger, off cials still are apprehensive of another outbreak at any time. Governor May torena, heading the Villa administra- tlon in Sonora is said to have dispatch ed all the troops he can spare from nearby garrisons and believes they can control the situation. It is known that the best troops in the state have joined General Villa souh of Leon.
 The colonists are concentrated at 4aqui, Pueblo, ready to proceed to the coast if the troops do not quell the disturbance so they can return to their properties.
 Advices from Mexico were meagre. Consul Silliman, at Carranza's head quarters in Vera Cruz, reported the recapture of Panuco near Tampico by the Villa forces. The situation as to British oil supply is again made acute by this development.
 No advices from central Mexico where the Villa and Obregon armies are engaged, have been received.

ASSESSMENT ON A
 50 PER CENT BASIS
State Tax Commission May Instruct Assessors to That Effect. Letter Calls Attention to Need of
 More Careful Assessing

County assessors of Arkansas may be instructed to assess all property at 50 per cent of it's actual value this year, according to members of the Arkansas Tax Commission. The commission has prepared draft of a letter to that effect which may be mailed to assessors. The letter calls attention to the need of more careful assessing of property this year be- cause of the depressed financial con- dition, which may tend to bring down assessed valuation. It speaks of the practice that has prevailed of merely listing land and instructs the asses sors to appraise each separate piece and not leave the fixing of its value to the County Board of Equalization.
 The commission has power to raise the assessed valuation of property in any county. Members decline to say whether this power will be used until assessors books are received. Such action will not be taken unless unfair ness to the taxpayers in different counties is shown or unless the reve- nues provided are too low, they said.
 An Instance of Discrimination.
 The letter calls the attention of as .sessors to the fact that recently fed eral court granted an injunction , cro;rz+ +bo oolIoo+;oY, of +,xor o, +bo property of railroad in the county because it's property assessed by the Tax Commission, was taxed on a basis .of 90 per cent valuation. while the other property owners, whose proper ty was assessed by the county asses. sor, was taxed on only p per cent basis It asks that the assessors bear in mind hat the public utilities pro- perity should be vauled on the same basis
 It is the commissions opinion the letter states, that personal property has been assessed at higher rate than real property. Assessors are in- structed to use every effcrt to obtain a fair valuation of moneys and ere dits and to make careful inquiries in order to get all personal property on the books.
 Members of the commission say 1t is practically impossible to estimate the increase in the assessed valuation of property in the state, or in the tXes that would result, if the instructions in the letter were carried out. This is because much of the personal pro- perty already is assessed at 50 per cent valuation, while much of it is not assessed, and because it is impos sible to judge what assessors whould consider a marketable price for real estate. Undoubtedly the assessed valuation would be increased many millions of dollars, they said. The assessed valuation of all property in the state last year was S451, ,13S,575.

Germany will Defy
 B. s. is Statement
Reply of Kaiser to President Wilson's Note to Throw Responsibility of Lustinia Disaster on United
 States and Britain

Paris, May 1S.-Germanys reply to the American note on the sinking of the Lusitania will be sent Thursday, according to the Mathis Amsterdam correspondent, who says he is inform ed it will justify the attack on the steamer, on the ground that the sub- marine commander has affirmed in his report that only one torpedo was fired which convinces him that the second explosion was due to the fact that the ship carried munitions of war. The report is said to state that the torpedo was fired in such way that the Lusitania would not have sunk if she had not had explosives aboard.
 The Mathis correspondent says it is reported in Amsterdam that Ger many will throw the responsibility for the disaster on England and on the American authorities who permitted passengers to embark on a ship carry ing explosives. It is believed in Hol- land, he asserts, that Germany will decline to modify it's methods of sub- marine warfare.

Will Delay Ger
 many in Answering
o,nion Expressed that Italian situa- Vri ,;on Will Act As A Deterrent to 'Vl ,s. German Reply.-Informa-
 finn of Positive Nature

TT. .,h;rctou. May 1S.-Two impor- tapt factors it became known tonight 'sa 'sl. morking to delay for another week rls r,,manv's reply to the American note If May 1S, sent as a consequence of the Lusitania disaster
 T;rst. The next few days are ex-
 ,,tod to decide whether Germany ri1l s he confronted with a new mili- ,rv situation by the entrance of Italy inf ;rto the war and the cutting off of all snnplies through the Mediterranean.
 Second Interested diplonatists horo believe the interim of delay will rsveal whether the United States, of ;,s own initiative, will send general nrotest to the allies with respect to their alleged violations of internation- al law for interfering with commerce between American ports and neutral countries of Europe.
 Officials think the Italian situation may absorb the attention of the Ger man government during this week and delay the final composition of the re ply
 Such information as the United States government recently has re- ceived is of a positive nature, indicat- ing that Italy will soon enter the war, though in Austro-German quarters here, there is still confidence that breach will be averted
 It is realized that should Italy be- come a belligerent Germany would lose all hope of securing food stuffs through the Mediterranean and if Ru- mania followed Italy's lead a predict ed wheat supply from southeastern Europe would be cut off. In such cir cumstances of almost complete isola- ton 1t is explained in diplomatic quar- ters, Germany would find the sub marine even more invaluable as a weapon for reducing enemy supplies and commerce.
 The idea that the United States will send note to the allies seeking mod licatlon of their order in council has Its origin in quarters where the con- Vctlon IS held that such movement at this time would demonstrate to Germany the intention of the United s'a'es to be equally vigorous in an in- slStence on the observance of neutral fignts by Great Britain and her allies maSlhg unnecessary an offer by Ger. many to return to the maritime rules a international law if the allies do likewise.
