 Bernstorff Takes Up Matter
 Another development was the sending of a telegram to the state department by Count Bernstorff. the German ambas- sador, denying that Fay had any connec- ton with the German secret service or the German government.
 While the United States attorneys force was working on the preparation of the case for the grand jury detectives were busy In Weehawlxen and Hoboken, N J., gathering explosives and acids alleged to have been used by Fay and Scholz. his prother-in-law, in experimenting with bombs, which, according to Fay's confess sion. were to be placed on the rudders or propellers of ships, so timed that they would explode after the vessels left New York. The material gathered at Fay's room In Weehawken .and at a boathouse on the Hudson, where Fay experimented consisted of 400 pounds of chlorate of pot ash. 300 pounds of dynamite and several suitcases of percussion caps.
 Breitung, cousin of E. N. Breitung A mining man and ship owner. was the only one of the five alleged conspIrators who obtained liberty on bond. He appea red before a United States commissioner to- day and furnished $2500o bond for his hearing on November 4.

Will Be Shot Down As An Outlaw by United States Troops In Event of
 Resistance

Washington, October 27.-Should Villa Mexican town of Agua Prieta from the Texas side, as press reports from the scene have indicated they might do, they would be treated as outlaws. disarmed and in the event of resistance shot down by Hnited States troops Officials at the slate and war departments made this clear tonight, although no official advices had been received that such developments were in prospect
 Major General Funston, commanding the American border forces. has full au- therty to take any. necessary steps to prevent violation of American territory by Mexican armed parties short of ac- t tually invading Mexico. An order to cross the border would have to come from Washington. but if bullets fall on the American side during any battle across vhe line General Funston may use his 3ctillery to drive combatants away
 In a message to General Funston yes terday, Secretary Garrison renewed gen. | era instructions for the conudct of the \border patrol. With the recognition of rse Carranza regime as the de facto gov ernment of Mexico, the border situation is somewhat changed. Should armed men in revolt against that government cross the line they would be considered. officials explained, merely as outlaws to be placed in custody and surrendered to the Car ranza forces on proper application for ex- tradition.
 Should Carranza soldiers be forced to flee into American territory they would >pe disarmed but permitted to return to Mexico at some point on the border where their arms would be returned to them.
 Tn the event of q battle at Agua Prieta in which General Funston found 1t neces- sary for his guns to protest American lives and property, it Is said that they undoubtedly would be trained upon the outlaws, not upon the Carranza forces.
 Limitations reached Washington today that Governor Ferguson of Texas might ask President Wilson for wider use of the federal troops in the vicinity of Brownsville Some officials suggested that the governor might himself declare martial law within restricted zone and ask the aid of the federal government in rounding up the bandits and outlaws therein As it is, officials say federal | troops are now perhaps exceeding strict Interpretation of their powers in garrison Ing Texas towns near the border and pursuing bandits in Texas territory.

| the present time they cannot weaken the other fronts, as the Germans have been showing considerable activity. The latter have made still another counter attack in the attempt to re- capture La Courtine, in Champagne, which the French recently took from them. Strong German patrols observed in the Loos region were dispersed.
 The Germans continue their attacks against the Russians in the Riga and Dvinsk districts, and claim to have pene- trated the Russian positions near the railway north of Dvinsk. They could not hold all the ground gained, as the Russians launched immediate counter attacks.
 While the position In this region re- mains serious for the Russians, they appear, on the whole, to be holding their own.
 In the south along the Styr river and Galician frontier the Russians re- port successes.
 The Italians are persisting in their offensive and seemingly they are mak- ing advances.

 CONSPIRACY AGAINST
 BULGARIAN KING
 The internal situation in Bulgaria, which is reported serious. may have some effect on the campaign. A mili- tary conspiracy against King Ferdi- hand, Athens dispatches say. has been unearthed and the leaders have been shot. Many inhabitants of Bulgaria are said to be still loyal to Russia and are showing disinclination to join the col OTIS.
 The Roumanians, too, are displaying some uneasiness as to the inactivity of their government, and an agitation in favor of the allies, according to unof- ficia1 reports, Is being carried on by influential leaders. The allies. however, are depending on their own resources and arranging to throw into the Balk- ans as many men as can be spared. At

STANLEY AS GOVERNOR.

IL the democrats will only come 10
the polls on November End and vote for
Stanley ,and the entire democratic
ticket, there Is no earthly reason why
the entire ticket should not win by an
immense majority. We all know now
that both Senate and House are
absolutely safely democratic. Then
what is the use of electing Morrow
governor? He would only be a figure
head. His votes would amount to moth.
ing for they could be passed over his
head at airy time. With Stanley as
Governor the democratic party will be
IN a position to do some valuable demo-
cratic legislation. The state would then
receive adequate compensation from
its law makers. If Morrow should be
elected. all the people could hope for
would be time and money thrown to the
winds. Our republican friends who
have the good of the Old Common
wealth at heart and especially the in
dependent voters can readily see the
uselessness in voting for Morrow.
Vote for Stanley and the entire demo-
cratic ticket and thereby render your
state valuable service.

of politics, while Morrow is only a new
beginner.

the common meaning of things. while
Morrow adopts himself nearly exclu-
sively to adjectives. One trying TO
make plain his meaning in as perfect
oratory as can be, while the other only
beauties his utterances by Eighty
meaningless endeavor.

not try to escape or offer resistance.
The undertaking greatly relieved the
tension. Ii seemed to make the Arabic
incident turn wholly upon the question
whether the steamship resisted or tried
to escape; and as the testimony Of the
officers and passengers was overwhelm-
ing to the effect that the Arabic was
torpedoed without warning, adisavowal
from the German Government was ex-
pected as a matter of course.
Then, much to everybody's aston
ishment, there was received at the
State Department IN Sept. 9. not a
mote" but a memorandum, in
which the German Government NEST
deeply regretted the loss of life on the
Arabic. especially American life, and
added:
The German Government is unable
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
tion to grant indemnity in the matter.
even il the commander should have
been mistaken as TO the aggressive in
tentions Of the Arabic.
Disappointment and vexation were
intense. The German Government APP
parently was unwilling or unable to
suppoit the reassurances that had been
received informally from its Ambassa-
dor. His optimism, nevertheless. was
unfaltering, and with unusual patience
and tact he has saved at last a clumsy
situation. On Oct, 5, he was able to
deliver to the State Depsl tment a very
different kind of memorandum. The
German Government does not reject
the opinion of its submarine COM
mander that the Arahic's intentions
were aggressive, and yet it does not
doubt the good faith of English testi-
mony to the contrary. Therefore, it
regrets and disavows the submarine
commanders act, which was against
the instructions controlling submarine
warfare at the time. and lis prepared
Ito pay indemnity for the American
Elves which. to its deep regret. have
''been lost on the Arabic. Further
more:
The orders issued by his Majesty the
Emperor to the commanders of the
German submarines have been
made so stringent that the recurrence
of an incident similar to the Arabic
case is considered out of the question.
Obviously, therefore. not only the
Arabic case is safely settled. but our
whole case against Germany's sub
marine warfare is therein conceded.
We wonder all the more why the sink
ing of the Lusitania remains undis-
avowed.
