REGRETS ARABIC DISASTER.
 AMBASSADOR SAYS
Won BeFnstOrff Makes Public His Message to State Department Asking That Final Action Be Withheld Until All Facts Are Known Washington Hopeful Over New Turn in Crisis.

that a new and better opinion of the American Government prevails about Berlin.
 Immediately upon the receipt of the comrpunication Secretary Lansing wired Ambassador Bernstorff to make it public as he Indicated he desired to do. MT. Lansing refused to re- lease the note, but said he was perfect .ly willing that MT. Bernstorf should give it to the press.
 In the opinion of Washington, the request of the German Government puts an entirely different aspect on the Arabic case. American officials believe that the act of the Command CT of the German submarine will be disavowed not in accordance with the.jnstructions of the German Ad- rniralty and the wishes of the German Foreign Office. In event that Ger many goes that far it is not unlikely that the matter will ease down and proper repaEation be made. H
 tThe tone of the German note; and the circumstances under which it was delivered, count for almost as much as its contents
 For the first time since the activ- ities of the German submarine com menced there is a feeling in Washing ton that the Germans are beginning to understand the American people and their desire to be neutral in the. European war and that they will de- mand that their own rights be re- spected.
 Count Bernstorn is expected in Washington some day next week. He will see Secretary Lansing and, per haps, the President before returning to Cederhurst- MT. Lansing said, however, that he had not been noti- fled of any intended visit of the Am bassador..
 The President resents the sugges- ! ton that he should have acted hastily in the Arabic case. not giving the German government time to ask for delay so that it's side of the case can be presented. The President believes l that the due processSof law should be accorded the Germans and that he will see that they have that.
 Inside of an hour after the news of the request of the German govern ment arrived in Washington the whole atmosphere of the national capital had changed. Government officials who for days have Believed that there cer- tainly would be a break between the i Washington government and Berlin, Immediately saw a way out of the dip | Eomatic tang1e between the two gov l ernuents.

SAYS TUBERCULOSIS
 SHOULD BE TREATED THROUGH CHEMICALS.

Paris. AuN 25-Dr. Louis Renon, a physician connected with the Neker hospital, and a member of the medi- cal faculty of the University of Paris, has announced to the therapeutic sso- ciety that as the result of long re- search he Is able to prove that tub erculosis, contrary to the generally accepted theory, must be treated by chemical means and not by serunns. His paper. has caused considerable stir in medical circles where it is held that he has opened a new path in the cure of the white plague. pr. .Renon says that his endeavors have been directed towards finding a substance which will kill bacilli in an animal or ganization without injuring the ele- ments of that organization. As a be- ginning he established a list of anti septics which arrest the developrhent of bacilh in cultures He also found substances without which bacilH can not develop. These, he says, are po- tassium, sulphur, phosphates, iron and magnesium.
 Thus, he claims, therapeutic action can be obtained by adding certain substances to an animal organism and also by withdrawing by means of dietary other substances necessary to the growth of baciIli-

New York, Aug. $25.-Count won Bernstorff the German Ambassador, at the Ritz-Carlton late yesterday, gave out the following statement re- gardfng the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic:
 ''The German Ambassador received the following instructions from Berlin. which he communicated to the De- partment of AState.
 ''So far no official information avail able concerning the sinking of the Ar able. The German Government trusts that the American Government will not takeSa definite stand after hearing only the reports of one side, which, in the opinion of the, Imperial Govern ment, cannot correspond with the facts, but that a chance will be given Germany to be heard equally
 Although the Imperial Government does not doubt the good faith of the witnesses whose statements are re- ported by the newspapers in Europe, it should be borne in mind that these statements are naturally made under excitement which might easily pro duce wrong Impressions.
 eff Americans should actually have lost. their lives, this would naturally be contrary to our intentions. The German Government would deeply re- gret the fact and begs to tender, sim cerest sympathies to the American Government

the sentence: To return to the rightful
owner the sum of $295, to be given
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back in
a public place and to be branded with

Locust Eaters.

While the locust is essentially a
plant devourer and famine breeder.
says the Christian Herald, there are
many well authenticated cases in his
tory showing that populations reduced
to the last extremity have utilized the
destructive insect as food. Diodorus
Siculus relates that an Ethiopian tribe
was known as AcridOphagi c'eaters of

certain part of Greece where the peo-
pie regarded them as delicacieS. Lay
ard, the explorer, found on the en-
graved monuments pictures of dried
and preserved lOcuSts on rods, presum-
ably indicating their use as food. 1t is
not believed that any race today eats
them. They are regarded everywhere
in the east as an abhorrent calamity,
and the presence of vast swarms in
