1t is safe to predict that before the
American league schedule runs into
the hopper the White Sox will be con-
coded the best infield in the Johnson
organization. Right now the South
Side inner wall compares with any
in the circuit and it is coming forward
with long strides every day.
1t must be remembered that each
member of the quartet is a stranger
to the other in the present positions.
They will require time to perfect a
machine brand of play. This is es-
pecially true of Collins and Weaver,
who are fast fitting into each others
style of play.
And the fact must not be left out
of the reckoning that Bobby Roth is
new to his job at third base. 1t takes
more than two months to make fin
ished infielder out of man who has
always played in the gardens. The
very fact that Roth is in the game at
all is a tribute to his ambition, ear
nestness and desire to play baseball.
On the spring training trip it was
plainly apparent to Bobby that there
was no place in the outfeld for him
to break into, as Collins, Fourier,
Felsch and Quinlan were strong
enough to repulse all efforts to take
away their jobs.
But Roth likes to play ball. Sit
ting on the bench gets no three rous-
ing cheers from him. And when he
was given chance to sit in at third
for the second squad he seized it with
ayidity. 1t was all new to him, but
he stuck doggedly to the position and
he has learned much since the sea-
son began. He still has much NOR

France and a group of American bank
ers for the loan of s500000,000 for

Many of those who have complained

make such use of their depositors

Threats to withdraw deposits from
banks assisting in making war loans
or financing munitions makers were
made last week.
One man came to Chicago all the
way from a small town In Iowa to
make sure that his $4,000 deposited
in one of the savings banks would not
be used for this purpose. He an
nouneed his intention of closing his
account in the event that his protest
was unayailing.

and state commissioners alighted at
Crabtrce farm with instruments for
the slaughter of the prize cattle. Mrs
Scott Durand, the owner, met them

mouth disease with Christian Science
and expects to cure them.
Mrs. Durand values her herd at
$4,000. They are registered cattle,
all suffering from the hoof and mouth

Mr. Hill is said by his friends to

United States in Doubt Re-
garding Arbitration.
SHORT CONFERENCE HELD
Ambassador Won Bernstorff Calls at
State Department and Discusses
Situation With Secretary Lansing.
Attack on the Orduna an Error Of
Submarine Commander.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Secretary
Lansing announced after confer
ence with President Wilson that no
decision has been reached by the
United States on Germany's propos-
al to arbitrate the Arabic case.
1t was indicated in official quarters
that both Germany and the United
States agree that to arbitrate the
question of indemnity involves ar
bitrating the justification and the
facts.
Secretary Lansing, after his visit to
the president returned to the state
department, where he opened a con-
ference with Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. who is trying to
bring the situation to a point where
this government. will agree to submit
the question to arbitration.
Ii was generally believed that be-
fore the United States will enter in
to formal negotiations it will be
necessary first to confirm Germanys
assurances of the cessation of attack
by submarines on liners.
The declaration that the United
States would not discuss the Lusi-
tania until il had been established
whether the sinking of the Arabic was
justified act increases the impor-
tanCe of the decision on the Arabic
note.
Erred in Attacking orduna.
Germany's explanation of the un-
successful attempt to destroy the
Cunard liner Orduna on July is that
the submarine commander violated
his instructions. which were not to
attack any liner. but that because of
the weather he was unable to make
out the character or nationality of
the Orduna.
The Orduna, bound from Liverpool
to New York with some 200 passen-
gers, of whom twenty-five were Amer
leans, was attacked by a torpedo
which barely missed ii and then was
shelled by the submarine until she
was out of range.
To substantiate the statement that
the German commander was inclined
to follow his orders ii is stated that
he soon after allowed the steamer
Normandie. carrying a cargo of lum-
ber. TO pass unmolested.
The German explanation, which
comes in the form of a note was laid
before President Wilson by Secretary
Lansing and may figure in discussion
of the submarine issue with Count
