OUTLINE OF GERMAN POLICY
Germany Promises That the Lives Of
Americans Will Not Be Endan-
aered BY Undersea Boats.

New York.--The International News
Service is able to present from high
and authoritative source the conces-
sions on submarine warfare offered to
Secretary Lansing by Ambassador
Bernstorff.
Official confirmation of these con-
cessions is expected by Ambassador
Bernstorff within the next As hours,
possibly within "A hours.
Germany admitted in diplomatic
terms that in her submarine warfare
she had grievously wronged America.
She promised without qualification
that the life Of not one American citi-
zen should in the future be endangered
by her undersea boats.
In the exact words of high official,
she pledged herself that mot one
American should go overheard"
Whatever the. form of diplomatic
presentation may have been, Germany
did, without reservation, assume full
responsibility for the loss of Ameri-
can lives aboard the Lusitania.
Her offer of reparation was so un-
qualified that only method of deter
mining the amount Of damage remains
to be ascertained.
She requests the United States to
suggest some means of ascertaining
such damages.
She does not disavow the destruc-
tion of the Lusitania This she feels
is impossible for the reason that she
has already officially honored the com
mander of the successful commander.
Moreover, she vigorously maintains
that the giant Cunarder, loaded with
munitions, was in reality ship of
war. She realizes, however that this
fact did not warrant the taking of
American lives.
The Arabic case is less clear cut
than that of the Lusitania, on which
she had official reports. No submarine
commander has as yet admitted sink
ing the Arabic.
Germany will, nevertheless, pay for
the lives of two Americans lost with
the ship, if sufficient evidence is pre-
sented by witnesses.
The United States, IS accordingly
asked to obtain all the facts and pre-
sent them for the consideration of the
German government. A satisfactory
adjustment will then be planned

MOVES TO MEXICO CITY
Carranza Would Establish Himself
There Before Peace Plan Is
Adopted.

Washington.-The State Department
has received advices that Carranza
is making every effort to establish
himself in Mexico City before the
peace plan adopted by the Latin-Amer-
lean conference can be put in execu-
ton.
1t is stated that already some of his
officials have gone to Mexico City,
taking with them public records, and
that Carranza will follow. Whether he
replies to the note of the conference
before or after reaching Mexico City,
or whether he replies at all, is said TO
be matter of indifference to this
government.
The government of Carranza as a
factor in the Mexican situation has
been determined upon. There may be
some difficulty in Carrying it out, but.
unless present plans are radically
changed this policy will be pursued
rigidly.
Assurances given this government
by European powers that whatever
course is followed by the United States
with regard to recognition OF Mexi-
can government would be adopted by
them relieves the situation materially
and will prevent Carranza from stir
ring up trouble by obtaining assist
ance from abroad.
Gen. Villa already has agreed to the
peace conference and to withdraw as
as candidate and Zapata will do like
wise, but Carranza is expected to re-
sist even to the extent of conducting
a revolution against the new govern
ment that may be set up.
The most support to be given the
provisional president to be chosen un-
der the plan Of the Latin-Americar
conference and the placing OF an en-
barge on war materials intended for
Carranza, however. is expected to
make short work of opposition in that
quarter to the establishment OF law
and order and the installation of con-
stitutional form of government in Mex
leo by the people themselves.

MExICANS TRYING TO START
TROUBLE ARE HELD BY
POLICE.
WOULD FORM A REPUBLIC
Were Making lnflammatory Addresses
When Arrested-San Antonio
Police Quiet All Mar
tial Spirit.

San Antonio, Texas.-With the ar
rest of &c Mexicans, % of whom were
detained Monday, Chief of Police Lam
caster and federal authorities believe
plan to ncite the Mexican popula-
tion of San Antonio to deeds of vio-
lence has been nipped.
The prisoners, according to Chief
Lancaster, are all followers of the
plan of San Diego, an extrayagant
manifesto which pcoclaims the repub-
lie of Texas for Mexicans. The up
risings in the lower Rio Grande Val
ley caused the programme to go
amiss and at the same time federal
officials were put on their guard.
Three of the leaders were arrested
Aug. 30, while addressing crowd of
1000 Mexicans on the market plaza.
Their remarks were of an infiamma-
tory nature and were calculated to
arouse the poorer class of Mexicans
to deeds of violence.
Since the disturbances In the
Brownsville territory special agents
of the United States Department of
Justice and police officials have been
keeping a close watch to prevent a
possible uprising in San Antonio
They had learned that Industrial
istas, were here in great strength.
Until Sunday night there had been
no open attempt to encourage discr-
ders. Then three speakers gathered
about 1000 Mexicans and in passion
ate bursts of oratory pictured to them
tale of persecution of their fellows.
Chief Lancaster, Police Inspector
Mussey and Capt. Welch heard their
remarks.
"One speaker" Chief Lancaster
said, after abusing the president of
the United States. the government Of
this country and the white race gen.
orally, openly declared: 1t Is no harm
to kill a gringo and an Allamain,
meaning Americans and Germans"
1t was at this point that the police
charged the crowd, arresting the
leaders, but it was not without
fight. AS the officers were withdraw
ing one Of the Mexicans shouted
Now is the time to rise. Let us rise
and kill the gringoes."
The arrival of the police for the
time being quieted all martial spirit.
Following the arrest of the leaders,
the police instituted dragnet, which
resulted in the arrest of % others.
They were Immediately placed in the
custody of federal officials, who prob
ably will file charges against them of
treason, alleging plan to set on
foot an expedition against the United
States authorities.

WRITIHG A COMPOSITION

A youngster whose father was editor of a small town family daily, was asked to write a com- position on professional men. When an editor makes a mis- take there is a alawsuit and swear and fuss; but if a doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a yard long with out anybody knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another mans wife he charges for the visit; but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. When the doctor gets drunk it is a case of being overdone by the heat and if he dies it is heart trouble; when the editor gets drunk it's case of too much boose, and if he dies it's the jimjams. Any old college can make doctor; an editor has to be born. ,
