BALKANS WATCHING AMERICA
Germany Considers Effect Of Possible
Rupture With United States Upon
Smaller European Nations.

Washington, Aug. 27.-In official
speculation as to the real significance
of the German note regarding the Ara.
bic disaster, there was a large ele-
ment of optimism. 1t was felt that
Germany is convinced of the folly of
risking actual trouble with the United
States and that the disavowal regard
ed as necessary to prevent rupture
will be forthcoming. One big factor
believed to have been considered by
Germany in adopting her new policy
toward the United States is the pos
sible effect of a rupture with the Unit
ed States upon the attitude of the
Balkan states.
Many diplomats believe that the en-
trance of the United States into the
lineup against Germany would be the
only force necessary to throw the Bal
kan alliance on the side of the allies,
thus completing the alliance of all of
the principal civilized powers save
China and the Scandinavian countries
against Germany.

ROOSEVELT IS RESPONSIBLE
Declares General Wood Had No Idea
What He Would Say in PIatts-
burg Speech.

New York, Aug. 28.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, advised of Secretary
Garrison's telegram to Major General
Leonard Wood, said that he was en-
tirely responsible for his own re-
marks at Plattsburg. He also said he
considered the secretary had no right
to criticise General Wood.
Colonel Roosevelt's remarks were
contained in a statement. 1t read as
follows:
NEARLY three weeks ago it was an
nounced in the public press that in
addition to President Wilson and Sec
rotary Garrison, some scores of pri-
vate citizens had been asked to go to
the Plattsburg camp, where it was ex-
rected they would speak to the men.
Among the names mentioned in addi-
ton to my own were those of former
President Taft, Samuel Gompers and
John Mitchell. It is, of course, impos-
sible that Secretary Garrison can
have been ignorant that we were ask
to notify us in advance what we were
expected to say or leave unsaid, it
was clearly his duty to direct the gen.
eral accordingly.
when the war department, after
three weeks notice, made no objec-
ton to my coming, they stopped them
selves from any right to criticise Gen.
eral Wood because I was coming, or
because I did not submit my speech
in advance to the administration for
approval. I am, Of course, solely re-
sponsible for that speech, and Cen
eral Wood had no more idea than
Secretary Garrison what was going

STATEMENT BY CHANCELLOR

Berlin, via London, Aug. 27.-f the
commander of German submarine
exceeded his Instructions in sinking
the steamer Arabic the German gov,
eminent will give full satisfaction to
the United States, according to Chan
cellOr Won HOllweg.
The imperial chancellor made the
following statement of Germany's po-
sition on the sinking of the Arabic:
No Definite Statement Possible.
"As long as the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking of the Arabic
have not been fully cleared up it is
impossible for me to make definite
statement. Thus far we have received
no report about it. Now we do not
even know whether the sinking of the
ship was caused by mine or by a
torpedo, fired from a German subma-
rine, nor do we know whether in this
latter case the Arabic herself may not
by her actions perhaps have justified
proceedings of the commander of the
submarine.
'Only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up will it be pos
gible to say whether the commander
of one of our submarines went beyond
his instructions, in which case the I'm
perial government would not hesitate
to give such complete satisfaction to
the United States as would conform
to the friendly relations existing be.

Detrimental EFFECT SHOWN
Garrison Wires Major General Wood
That Nothing Similar Should be
Permitted at PIattsburq, N.

Washington, Aug. %. - Secretary
Garrison has telegraphed Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood expressing his
depreciation that opportunity was CIV
en- at the citizen soldier camp at
Plattsburg, N. Y, for Colonel Roose-
yelt's sensational speech and direct
Ing that nothing similar should be per-
mitted at any of the other camps
Secretary Garrison referred to Col
onel Roosevelt's remarks on the mill
tary unpreparedness of the country
and the attitude Of the administra-
ton. His telegram to General Wood
follows:
Has Detrimental Effect
Il have just seen the report in the
newspapers of the speech made by ex-
President Roosevelt at the Plattsburg
camp. It is difficult to conceive of
anything which could have more det-
rimental effect upon the real value of
this experiment than such an incident
This camp, held under government
auspices, was successfully demonstrate
ing many things of great moment. It's
virtue consisted in the fact that it
conveyed it's own impressive lessons in
it's practical and successful operation
and results.
mo opportunity should have been
furnished to any one to present to the
men any matter excepting that which
was essential to the necessary training
they were there to receive. Anything
else could only have the effect of dis
tracing attention from the real nature
of the experiment, diverting considera-
ton to issues which excite controversy,
antagonism and i'll feeling and thereby
impairing, if not destroying, what 9TH
erwise would have been so effective.
Must Not Happen Again.
There must not be any opportunity
given at Plattsburg or at any other
similar camp for any such unfortunate
consequences"
Secretary Garrison said he had no
further action now under contempla-
ton. He said he had not discussed
the matter with President Wilson and
had no knowledge of the Presidents
views. The secretary said he had not
considered whether his telegram to
General Wood would have any effect
on the generals record.

If it was due to the action of Ger.

zens lost their lives in the torpedoing
of the steamship Arabic such action
was contrary to the intentions of the
German government, according to Off
cial advices received at New York by
the German ambassador from Berlin
and telegraphed by him to Washing
ton. 1t was also said that Germany
will deeply regret such a loss of life
and would tender the sincerest SYM
pathies to the American government.

pOsals of the big railroads in the
southwest to increase rates on packing

visions between points in that terri

Present rates at the Evansville-H Hen
derson river crossing were declared
unjustly discriminatory by the inter-
state commerce commission at Wash.
ington. The commission ordered roads
in that territory to establish through
rates at Henderson providing for re-
handling of grain from Illinois points
to Virginia cities on the same basis as
rates via Louisville.

considered by the United States navy
for coast defense work. The navy Is
experimenting with half-motor boat,

flies over the water nor cuts through
It, but skips along its surface. A a.
foot boat of this type has made 36h
miles an hour at a navy test. It is
hoped to obtain boat that will carry
men at IS or 60 miles an hour. It lie
said 200 of such craft could be built

To Settle U-Boat Problem.
Ambassador Gerard, reporting from
Berlin the substance of a conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow, con-
tlrmed the dispatches of earlier in the
day that Germany, even before the
sinking Of the Arabic, had adopted a
policy designed to settle completely
the whole submarine problem. The
state department did not make public
Ambassador Gerard's dispatch, but the
optimism reflected at the state depart.
ment and the White House was taken
as proof that the situation was on the
way to a settlement.
The more hopeful officials thought
the crisis passed and inferred the
views which Ambassador Bernstorff
had been urging upon Berlin ever
since the sinking of the Lusitania had
prevailed with the support of the Lib
erals In Germany who have been op-
posing the anti-American policy of the
Conservatives. Secretary Lansing,
while outwardly encouraged, was re-
served, awaiting some definite declara-
ton from Berlin and the same attitude
was reflected at the White House.

One fact was outstanding in the
whole situation. It was, that a fur
Their communication is coming from
Germany outlining a policy, which it
is said, is expected to be satisfactory
to the United States, 1t is under

suspension of her submarine warfare
on passenger-carrying ships and that
submarine commanders will be in

without warning, pending diplomatic
discussion of proposal for a modus
