WASHINGTON, Sept 14-It was an- nounced on high authority the depart ment of justice will not begin proceed ings against the agents of belligerent governments alleged to have been in- volved in strike plans and other objec- tionable activities until the state de- partment determines the attitude of the government toward acts apparently in violation of neutrality.
 Both the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, and the sec ret service are acting for the state de- partment and have been Investigating scores of reports of alleged unneutral acts of foreign agents and officers since the war began. The files are filled with reports as a result of the work, but with the exception of prose cutions of passport frauds and in con- nection with enlistments for the armies of the belligerents no action has been taken.

 FLORENCE Sept. 14.-In antici- patton of an attack by a force re- puted to number 300 Mexicans, the town of Florence and the state pri- son are tonight under the heaviest guard. Mounted men patrol the out skirts of the town, and are circling the gray walls of the penitentiary, while scouts are posted on the road leading to Mesa, whence the attack is expected.

 That the prison break in favor of the eleven accused reVolutionists is but an excuse and that the libera- ton of the five Mexicans who lie in the prison under sentences of death for murder. is the real object of the proposed attack, is currently believed here.

 In spite of the rumors of trouble, the town is quiet. No crowds are ob- served upon the street corners, and ,he usual haunts of Mexican labor CTS are empty. This is taken to be an ominOus sign.
 Sheriff Hall questioned as to his preparation for receiving an attacking force would make no formal state lnent merely admitting that there were extra deputies out. and that the situation would be kept in hand.

PRO GERMANS

 FLOATING LOAN
Moneved Faction of This Element, Wall Street Hears, Will Be Glad to Have Chance to Help in Financing Big Deal.
IAssocIArEp PkBes pIsrAroHl

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The pro German element in New York's fin ancial world will probably be invited to participate if they signify a de- sire for such an invitation. in float ng the billion-do credit loan which Great Britain and France hope to establish in the United States. The moneyed faction of this element, Wall street has heard, will be glad to have a chance to help.
 Another faction composed largely of middle western bankers with pre- German symeathies would bitterly oppose a participation in the raising of funds for the use of Germany's s enemies, even though it all would be spent in the United States.
 This is the big feature of today's negotiations of the Anglo-French financial commission with which Wall street bankers who are endeav- bring to assist in adjusting the for eIgn exchange situation.
 Heretofore the commission has met and conferred only with such bankers as are pro-ally in their sympathies and connections. No banking house with even a remote connection with German financial interests has been bidden to send a representative to the meetings at which scores of New York and out-of-town financiers nave discussed with the commission the possible terms of the proposed loan.
 One prominent financier regarded as a leader of several large pro-Ger- man banking houses, said he had no doubt banking houses with pro- German affiliations would take part in the undertaking, not because it would be helpful to the allies. but tenance of commerce and industries in the United States.
 Some prO-German bankers feel keenly the failure of their firms to receive invitations to meet the con- missioners

Blow in Face Received by American Industries by War Conditions Has Act ed as Tonic and Created New Branches. .,.
UTILIZING GREAT
 NATURAL RESOURCES
American Ingenuity Has Been Applied with Sue cess to Manufacture of Articles Previously Im- ported from eBlligerents
IAssocIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-HoW ev- cry phase of American industry has been benefited by the world war was outlined in an official statement today by the Department of Commerce fore casting the effect of the conflict on the industrial future of the country
 "The blow in the face received by American industries through conditions brought about by the European war has acted as tonic, has forced the na- tion to create new branches and en- large the scope of existing phases of manufacture, opened the way to utilize on vast scale, great natural resources of the United States, and induced man ufacturers and merchants to expand their markets into foreign fields with prospects of permanent results, says the statement.
 American ingenuity has been ap- piled with success to the making of articles previously imported and among those who have shown conspi- cuous ability in meeting the situation. an important place is given to Thomas A. Edison, Americas scientific wizard who has had a great part in the enter prise and initiative required to build, at moments notice, some of the new American manufacturers required by the emergency.
 "A review of the chief industries ministering particularly to the tempo rary needs of the belligerents across the Atlantic shows that the final out come will be very material addition to the manufacturing plant of the United States. Part of this plant will be simply anticipatory of the normal growth of the country's mechanical equipment; part must lie idle in time of peace, but is a distinct asset in the national preparation for an adequate defence against attack; the remainder furnishes at once products needed in the healthy expansion of the chemical industry of the country

Prospects for Favorable Adjustment of Controver~ sies Between the United
 States and Germany De- pend on Berlin Attitude.
IBERNSTORFF MAKES
 RECOMMENDATIONS
Should Germany Fail to Satisfy Demands Original
 Plan May Be Followed Hesperian Sinking Dis avowed in Note to Gerard
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl


 WASHINGTON. Sept. 14.-Pros- poets of a favorable adjustment ot the controversies between the United States and Germany depend on the attitude of Berlin toward the recom- mendations made by Count Won Bernstorff following conference with Secretary Lansing The United States wants a disavowal of the ! torpedoing of the Arabic. Arbitra- a- tiOn cannot be the issue until after ward. The tension today was con- siderably- lessened. Should Germany fail to satisfy the demands the indi- cations are that the Washington government will follow its original plan and sever diplomatic relations with Germany.
 The note from Berlin which brought the Arabic situation to a crisis asserted that a submarine tOrpedoed the ship because it was thought the liner was about to at tack, and refusing to admit liability for American lives lost. Evidence in the hand of the United States is regarded as proving that the sub marine was concealed behind the sinking British steamer Dunsley un- til she submerged to launch a tor pedo. It was shown that the Arabic was struck in such a manner that the submarine must have been at right angles from her when the tor pedo fired, position making ram ming impossible. Count Won Bern storff is understood to have made suggestions to Berlin and il will probably be ten days before a reply is received.
 The German government in a note from the foreign office to Ambassa- dor Gerard. delivered at noon today, made a qualified disclaimer for the responsibility of the sinking of the Hesperian. On the face of the eyi- dence thus far at hand the govern ment is satisfied the Hesperian was not sunk by a German submarine. The communication was a prelimi nary note and may be supplemented when all the facts connected with the Hesperian incident are estab lished definitely.
 The German government states that on the basis of the information thus far obtained the theory that the Hesperian was sunk by a Ger man submarine apparently may be abandoned absolutely. It is said the official records show no submarine should have been in the vicinity of the Hesperian at the time it was blown up. Furthermore, the point is made that the violence of the ex- plosion and place at which the steamship was struck, as set forth in account of the disaster, indicates it was due to a mine. The report does not profess to be final.
 The German position as semi ficially stated follows:
 As we are informed from a com petent source the news already re- ceived taken in connection with facts officially known, seems to exclude almost absolutely the possibility that a German submarine could under any circumstances have been concerned in the sinking of the British passen- ger steamer Hesperian:
 Firstly. according to pre-ar ranged distribution, no German sub marine should have been on Septem-
