GERMAN SHELLS
American Who Was Passen-
ger on the Nicosian, Tells
of the Trouble.
~ AssocIArEp PRESS.

New York, Sept. 10.-Dr. c. B.
Banks, Memphis veterinary who ar
rived today on the steamer Lapland
from Liverpool, said he was aboard
the British steamer Nicosian when
she was shelled by German subma-
rine and that he saw British patrol
boat approach flying the American
flag. The British ensign was hoist
ed in its place before the patrol boat
opened fire on the submarine, he
said.
Confirmation of the London report
that the submarine was sunk on Aug
ust 10, while Smelling the Nicosian
was received from other sources on
arrival of the Lapland but DR.. Banks
declined to discuss that phase Of the
matter.
This German submarine was sunk
on Aug ust 10, the day the Arabic was
torrcnosd and not far from the scene.
This gave rise to the report and be-
lief in Great Britain that the Arabic's
asssilant had been sent to the bot
tom.

of the Arabic when she was sunk, "
said DR.. Banks, "and we heard her
wireless call for assistance, the call
reaching us at 9:15 a. M, just one
hour and five minutes after we had
picked up the S. o. S. call from the
steamship Dunsley. At Ills a. m,
we had similar call from the Brit

AUSTRIAN AND GERMAN
ENJOYS IN CONFERENCE

New York, Sept. 10.-Dr. Constan-
tin Theodor Dumba, ambassador from
Austria-Hungary today conferred in
his suite in an uptown hotel with
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador.
Both DR.. Dumba and Count Won
Bernstorff remained in seclusion in
their respective hotels the better part
of the day. DR.. Dumba denied him
self to all callers.
Count Bernstorff remained with DR..
Dumba for more than an hour. AS
he was leaving he said, in reply to
questions, that his meeting with DIR.
Dumba could not in a strict sense be
called a conference. He said that he
had gone to DR.. Dur1ba's hotel to bid
the ambassador goodbye.
"Are you going away? ?" the ambas-
sador was asked.
ooh no." replied Count Bernstorff.
"The ambassador from Austria-Hun-
gary is"
where is he going right now, to
Austria ?" was asked.
The ambassador smiled and replied
'not just now, he's going to Lenox. .

Neutral Nations
Are Justified In
Filing Protest
BY AssocTATEp pREss

Paris, Sept. 10.--Neutral nations
are justified in protesting against
war because they are its victims, in
the opinion of DIR. Giuseppe Motta,
president of Switzerland, who ex-
pressed his views in conversation
with Etienne Lamy, the French acad-
emician. An account of this inter
view, which appears in the Petit Pa
risien quotes President Motta as hay
ing said:
"Past wars affected only belliger-
ents, but nowadays, owing to growth,
the change in ideas, habits and
wealth, there is a community among
peoples. The rupture of this COM
munity by war between certain
states affects all the rest.
1.-THE will of neutrals is less re-
spected in time of war. 1t is not,
then, sufficient that they await the
end Of the conflict. For them pas
siveness has ceased to be a duty and
energy has become the proper policy
They have right to raise their voics
against war because they are its vic
tins. 1t is legitimate for them to
unite their influences because they
are injured in common, but the hour
has not come for that effort. Words
like spent bullets, would glance OH
the armor of belligerents without
penetrating it, but armor finally be-
comes heavy even for the stronges:
arms.
'The first sign of that fatigue viii

MEXICANS KILLED BECAUSE
FRIENDLY To AMERICANS

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 10-The
killing of two Mexicans by their own
eountryment near Lyford, Texas, de-
veloped a new angle to the border
situation. Both were killed, army Of
ficers think, because of their friendli-
ness for Americans. One was shot in
the roadway near Lyford yesterday,
and the body of the other was found
today. Infantry detachments sighted
the band which killed the men several
times, but each time the outlaws es-
capped in the brush. The border is
quiet.

eminent has characterized as a con-
spiracy.
TECHNICAL VIOLATION.
One official who has been studying
the situation said today that although
the German ambassador, in sending
a communication by person carry
ing an American passport may have
technically contributed to an abuse
Of that document, in the view of the
state department, the nature Of the
communication he sent was of such
a legitimate character that his act
probably would not be regarded as
offensive.
Captain Won Papen's letter, how
ever, is said to be decidedly offensive,
as is the nature of Consul General
Won Huber's connection with the af-
fair as disclosed by the papers which
the British secret service men took
from Archibald at Falmouth.
It was believed in the best inform
ed sources that further steps would
not be taken until the additional doc
umentary evidence comes from Lon
don and until Vienna has been heard
from on President Wilson's request
for the recall of DIR. Dumba. In Of
fetal and diplomatic circles it is ex-
pected Austria will recall her ambas-
sador without delay, but that if she
.resents the action of the United
States and stands behind the action
of her envoy, she may not send an
other.

ABRAMS HAS BEEN ASALESMAN FOR 20
 YEARS; CELEBRATES
Popular Salesman Receives Congratulations on Anni- versary, Which Fell on
 Friday the 18th
By ELLIS c. HoLLUMs

On last Friday, the 18th, known throughout the land as the prime hoo doc day of the year, Charles E. Abrams, his service with the Beck Candy and Grocery company. Whether 1t was un- lucky for MT. Abrams or for the com pany he represents has not been stated, and the writer will not undertake to say. but it does seem as though fate was against MT. Abrams in permitting his twentieth anniversary to fall upon a day so unlucky.
 Charlie Abrams is one of the best liked salesmen in the Birmingham district, however. and the fact that his anniver- sary fell upon hoodoo day will not cause a lessening of his popularity.
 He joined the sales force of the Beck Candy and Grocery company 20 years ago. At that time he was quite a young person. In all the 20 years he has been with the company he has not changed a particle. He is fun-oving. and can tell joke in such manner as to bring the point home even to an Englishman.
 The writer knows nothing about his worth as salesman, but it has been stated by one high in authority that Charlie could sell snow to an Eskimo It is a fact that he sold a Flivver car to an automobile salesman who represent ed a factory that manufacturers a heavy eight-cylindered automobile.
 Charlie was busy all day Saturday re- ceiving the congratulations of his hun dreds of friends on the road. He bore uT we'll under the deluge of telegrams which threatened for a time to swamp him and came up smiling at she committed meeting in Secretary sEpperson's room in the afternoon.
 Here's wishing you all the success in the world, Charlie. When you celebrate your golden anniversary may you have a real friend for each day of the 50 years and may your sales increase 10 such an extent that you can buy out the busi- ness.
