-Four of you, eh?',~ remarked old
Silas cambridge. Where do you
stand in the list, Ransom?"

bridge" replied Ransom Deane in his
serious, practical way, and started Off,
hoe in hand, for the potato field.
His employer and friend stood look
ing speculatively after him. There
was tender glow in the grim, hard
eyes. Ransom had been his handy
man about the farm for over two
years, and in all that time he had yet
to find flaw in his loyal, helpful
service. A good many things ran
through the old mans mind as he
stood there. He was so preoccupied
that he gave a great start as hand
touched his arm and rested there.
What are you thinking of, Silas?"
inquired his wife, and she looked
at him keenly. =,

FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD OPTIMISTIC
w. P. G. HARDING SAYS PLACING
COTTON ON CONTRABAND LIST
NOT DESPERATE SITUATION.
MRS WILLIAM SCHMEELNE.

Birmingham.--W P. G. Harding,
Of the Federal Reserve Board,
told the Alabama Merchants AS
ISOLATION here that the plac-
ing of cotton on the contraband list
by the allies did not create desperate
situation, but rather one calling for in
telligent leadership He urged South
ern bankers to make concessions. to
finance the crop, and predicted there
would be international competition for
the American crop despite the fact
that it was contraband. Mr.. Harding
handled, for the resere board, the ar
rangements for the $100.000,000 cot.
ton loan fund He explained to the
Alabama merchants, however, that he
was not speaking for the federal
board, but was giving his personal
views.
Germany" said Mr. Harding, is
as anxious tO have cotton as the al
lies are to prevent her. 1t is not In

dences before very long of internation-
al competition for possession of the
South's great staple. 1t is at least
| possibility that cotton will be pur-
chased in large quantities for foreign
account and stored in Southern ware
houses, to be shipped out as needed
and as opportunities for shipment
arise.
mo one has ever accused the Ger.
mans of lacking in far sightedness.
They are already looking forward 10
what will happen when peace is re-
stored, and that they will make a su-
preme effort to recover their lost
trade with other nations can not be
doubted 1t is reasonable to believe
that they would look with compla-
cency upon the absolute control of the
cotton market by the mills of Eng,
land and America permitting them
to secure their supplies Of cotton at
very low prices and defer their own
purchases until after peace is made
, and take the chances of securing then
their own stocks at much, higher
prices? 1t is not reasonable TO believe
that they. will arrange to buy cotton
as the spinners Of other nations buy
it, and can they not easily arrange tC
have their cotton purchases stored il
: this country for their account unit
: they can transport it to their owl
shoreS?"

FULL PREPARATION
FOR ARABIC'S Loss
GERMANY'S INTENTION is COM
INUNDATED FORMALLY TO
STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington.-The United States re-
ceived further assurances from Ger
MANY of its determination to yield to
the demands of the government re-
garding the protection OF American
lives at sea.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, having received lengthy
instructions from Berlin, telephoned
the State Department and asked for
an appointment with Secretary Lans-
ing. Promptly at the hour set he ap-
reared at the department
The ambassador informed the secre'
tary of state that Germany would give
full satisfaction to the United States
for the loss of American lives on the
White Star liner Arabic. The Ger
man government, he said, would &C
further than mere disavowel, as soon
as it is definitely established that the
vessel was sunk without warning. Sec
rotary Lansing informed the ambassa
dor that the United States considered
it had conclusive proof that no warn
ing was given, and the ambassador in
diCated in return that the German gov
eminent desired only to receive re
| port of the incident from it's owl
sources.
The question of the disavowal o
the sinking of the Lusitania and al
offer of reparation for the loss o
American lives was not taken up, 70
the reason that the United States ha
informed Germany it desires the is
sues in the two cases to be cOnsit
cred separately.
The two governments, therefore
have come to an understanding o
that point. This government inform
ed Germany it would insist on dealin
with the Arabic first, Germany, there
fore, will withhold its final reply o
the Lulsitania case, which will clos
the controversy until after the Arab
case has been settled.
After the conference the ambass;
dor indicated his belief that the neg
tiations in the Arabic case would /

sitania. In support of this statemel
he cited the recent declaration in Be
lin that a submarine policy satisfa
tory to the United States short
