 vite Lust and British Tutelage."

Berlin, Aug. 19.-The Trans-Ocean News sends out the following report of Chancellor von Befmann-Holl- weg's speech at the opening of the reichstag today:
 Chancellor von Bethmann-H Hollweg in the rechstag today retraced the history of European events leading up to the present war He unveiled the attempts made by Germany's enemies to conceal the whole truth from nations a. large and from their own people.
 q never. have concealed anything from the spresentatives of the Ger man nation, and I have never had anything to conceal" he said

This war has brought to light the greatness of which we are capable by our own moral strength We cannot use this force except for freedoms sake.
 "We do not hate nations driven into war by their governments, but we forget our former sentimentality. We shall continue to fight until those na- tions ask for peace from their own guilty governments, and until the road is free for a new Europe de livered from French intrigue, Musco- vite lust of conquest, and British autelage"

Cheering Messages Receiv ed by Relatives Here
 Yesterday.
ALL AGREE STORM
 WORST EXPERIENCED
Geo. H.> Adams Writes of "Weathering' Hurricane in Rice Hotel with Many Other GupStS-BOb EttpT'S Mother
 Sees Neighbours Home Destroyed.

Cheering messages reached Pine Bluff vest erday for Galveston, Texas City and Houston, bringing word of 1he safety of Pine Bluff people who had beel caught in the hurricane swept section of Texas Monday ana Tuesday,
 All the Pine Bluff people supposed to be in Galveston have not yet been heard from, but most of them have sent word. The others will be heard from, i. is felt, within the next few hours, the belief being that messages from then have been delayed because of the very small facility for getting telograms through from the stricken territory.
 All messages from Calves on and Texas City must be brought long distance by carrier, before they can be forwarded by mail or telegraph Even the telephone. wires to those towns are still down. By tonight it is expected telegraphic and tele- phonic communication with Calves ton will have been restored, when messages can be forwarded direct,
 Whi.a relatives of some of the Pine Bluff people are worrying because of the failure to receive word, the worst of the fears have passed, because it is now well understood that only few lives were lost in Galveston, and these were of persons in positions not likely to be occupied by any of the Pine Bluff people. ali of whaI' would have been indoors during the storm.
 No word has come from Mrs. E. J. Voss, Charles Bono, George Fultz and Leonard Barton. all of whom were known Or believed to be in Calves ton during the storm.
 Messages have been received telling of the safety of Miss Moree Burks, Mrs. Cora Fulweiler, H. B. AMizel Mrs. Joe Paulette, Melnotte Viets and George H. Adams.
 Mrs. Fulweiler, who is 2 daughter Of Mrs. J. o. Thomas, sent a message stating that her home at Texas City withstood the gale. She makes, no mention of her sister. Miss Helen Thomas, who was her guest few days ago, and this is taken to mean either that Miss Thomas is safe there. Or had departed on another journey before the hurricane.
 Another Pine Bluff man who is at Galveston. and from whom no wor'. has yet been received is J. U. Drake. Mir. Drake has been making his homA at tho island city for some time, and his father here is much concerned over the absence of news from him.
 Miss Burks Is Safe.
 The first word received here yes terday from any of the Pine Blurl people in the storm stricken territory referred to Miss Moree Burks, who is principal of the Pine Street schooI. The message was from Edgar Chest mutt, with whose family she is visit ing. MT. Chestnut wired his sister Mrs. ". c. Cleveland, that all are safe and we'll Mrs. Cleveland i'm mediately passed the good news around to other relatives. c. H. Burks, and J. c. Chestnut, and tc friends of the family.

 of Liner.

Washington, Aug 19.-President Wilson and Secretary of State Lans- ing waited anxiously tonight for the full details of the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic by German submarine, as upon the incident may depend the future relations of the United States and Germany.

 It would be intensified, of course if there was loss of American lives

In view of the fact that the vessel was west bound and that she carried neither guns nor ammunition. London received with amazement the news Of the attack. It was hardly believed possible here that Berlin would give deliberate provocation to the United States government.
 Official London tonight finds 1t diff fcult to conceive motive for the attack Although the Arabic has been in the arms-carrying trade since the beginning of the war She had unload ed at liverpool her cargo of war supplies and was bound for New York with general cargo of merchandise. Reports are prevalent that the ves- sel carried large consignment Of American securities which had been sold by English investors against de- 1 livery in New York. The amount of these securities is not known, but re- ports set it at from $500,00O to sever al millions. There also are reports that the Arabic carried consign- | ment of gold, but this is not credited. Passengers Remained Calm.
 
 are reported to have been on the wide, roomy deck which made the Arabic a | favorite in the trans Atlantic trade. Suddenly, according to stories told by survivors brought into Queens | towns on warships, a terrific shock threw the vessel far to port. spilling passengers from the chairs and throwing those standing to the deck. A terrific exposion told more plain | ly than words what had happened to the Arabic.
 After the first momentary excite ment there was no panic. Passen- gers below hastily made their way to deck buckling on life belts. Stewards worked rapidly, assisting the passen- gers to don the cork preservers, and ] the seamen of the crew, who had been put through life boat drills daily, has, ! tily and smoothly manned the boats. Eleven Boats Put Of. 1 There were comparatively few pas sengers on board and, under the di- rection of Captain Finch and the ships officers, they were quickly put into the boats which were cut free and launched as fast as passengers could be crowded into them. The sea was calm and the men at the oars pulled away rapidly from the fast sinking steamer. Eleven boats in all are re- ported to have been launched. Excitement gripped few and some of these leaped into the sea, according to the stories of survivors. The few casualties among the passengers were suffered from this couse, it is believ- ed.
 The Arabic sank within il minutes four less than it required for the Lpsitania to go down, although rep resentations were made in Berlin that the reason for the Lusitania's speedy sinking was that second explosion due to the ammunition on board. had caused the great ship to sink before the passengers could be taken off.

.-ROBBING CAPITAL.-Quite fire.
quently there appears in The Public
Forum articles by Geo V. Wells and
G. F, Hunt, men who no doubt are
working for better system of So
city for the human family. Mr. Wells
in closing one article, says: Earth
owners are robbing labor and capital
now" would like for him to ex-
plain how capital can be robbed.
Adam Smith calls capital stock"
Capital is but another name for
wealth. In a country without in
habitants there would be no wealth.
Land is not wealth. To produce
wealth you must have land and hui
man beings. Capital, or wealth, is
any tools, machinery or other stores
used in the production of wealth, or
it is any food, fuel, shelter or cloth
ing supplied to those engaged in pro-
ducing wealth or capital
A loom is capital Is it true to say
that the loom makes the cloth? 1t
is the weaver who weaves the cloth.
He uses the loom, and the loom was
made by the miner, the smith, the
joiner and the engineer. There are
wood and iron and brass in the loom.
But you would not say that the cloth
was produced by the iron mine. Now
how can the loom (capitaD be rob-
bed? What folly it is to say that
capital produces wealth. Capital is
used by labor in the production Of
wealth, but capital itself is incapable
of motion and can produce nothing.
And how can thing which of itself
can produce nothing be robbed?
Every Socialist comedies the fact
that the landowner, but not the user,
is useless parasite under any form
of society and that the capitalist (or
owners of stores) is not needed in a
properly ordered society. If it is
wrong for the landowners to collect
interest which they call rent, by what
line of reasoning is it right for the

The landlord produces nothing. He
