GERMANY VERY SORRY
Will Not Acknowledge Any
Responsibility For Sink
ing the Arabic.
~ Assoc1ATEp PRESS.

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The German gov
eminent, in its note to the United
States on the sinking of the Arabic
''most deeply regrets that lives were
lost through the action of its COM
mander. It particularly expresses
this regret to the government of the
United States on account of the
death of American citizens" and adds:
''The German government is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
ton or grant indemnity in the matter,
even if the commander should have
been mistaken as to the intentions of
the Arabic"
The note is about four hundred
words and is in the form of a memo
randun. It says the commander was
not allowed to attack the Arabic
without warning and without saving
the lives unless the ship tried to es-
cape or resist.
It details the actions of the Arabic
before the commander submerged,
and fired the torpedo and says he was
forced to conclude from the actions
of the Arabic It planned an attack
The commander reports he had been
fired upon in the Irish sea on August
IA by a large passenger steamer
which he neither attacked or stopped
The note then expresses regret and
declares Germany cannot acknowl-
edge the obligation to pay indemnity

Cotton Jumps to

New Orleans, Sept. 9.-The strong
est rise in weeks carried the price
of cotton today 90 to 80 points. or
S1.50 a bale over yesterdays close,
to new high levels for the season.
October went to 1910 cents a pound
in the early afternoon. Heavy and
persistent buying featured the SEES
sion and bullish sentiment increased
materially. Buying was stimulated
chiefly by reports of crop damage
from Texas, although other sections
of the belt sent in unfavorab1e ac-
counts and Georgia complained of the
weevil. Also continued good spot
demand was reported with farmers
showing unwillingness to sell. Texas
reported much storing of cotton, in
dicating farmers were DESTROYS of

CROWN
PRINCE MAKING
DRIVE IN WEST
Determined Effort Is Being
Made to Break Through
French Lines.
GERMANY'S ANSWER
TO COMMANDMENT
Capture Many Prisoners and
War Munitions, Accord !.
ing to Berlin.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Sept. 9.-The crowned
prince is making another determined
attempt to break through the French
line in Agonne, and Berlin declares
he has taken trenches over front
of one and quarter miles and to a
depth of three hundred to five hundred
meters, captured two thousand pris-
oners, forty-eight machine guns, and
sixty-four mine throwers. The French
admit a partial German success, but
declare that in most instances the at
tacks were thrown back with heavy
losses.
This is the princes second effort to
win victory in this region within
three months. He apparently is as
far from his objective now as be-
fore.
Fighting was in progress all day
Yesterday, throughout the night and
sill was going on at the latest re-
ports. This doubtless is the German
reply to the artillery bombardment
the allies kept up for fifteen days, but
which now seems dying down with
out succeeding in infantry attacks.
Instead, except south of Arras, bomb
throwing seems to have taken its
place.
Along the eastern front things are
moving more slowly again after the
Russian offensive in the southeast in
which the Muscovites claim a sub
stantial victory. From the Riga gulf
to Olita, south of Kovno the Germans
assert the situation is unchanged,
while their center, from Olita to be-
yond the Bripet marshes, continues to
advance. Thence to the Rumanian
frontier the Russians still are the ag-
gressors.
On the whole the Russians appear
to be making better stand since
their ammunition supply was replen-
ished. They are aided doubtless by
the rains.
The only Dardanelles news is from
Constantinople. The Turks report an
artillery action, in which the allied
ships participated.

Parent or Station Ship of
Aeronautical Station,
Now in Port.
AVIATORS AWNING
GREET THE SHIP
Big Naval Fighter Will Re-
main in Vicinity for
Many Weeks.

Reported off the bar at daylight
yesterday, the big armored cruiser
North Carolina was boarded by Pilot
7. Seeley, and steamed into the bay,
taking an anchorage half mile from
the navy yard, and remained for
the entire day at that spot. 1t is
possible the big ship will not remain
long at that place, however, for the
plans are that the North Carolina will
take berth alongside the naval
dock, at the naval station, in order
to be more easily accessible from the
Pensacola aeronautical station.
Before the big naval ship had been
in port long, she was greeted for the
first time IN manner never before
accorded a naval vessel ut Pensa-
cola. This was welcome by air
ship, and to Lieuts. Bellinger and
Sauffley was accorded this honor.
These two daring naval aEiaters, in
Curtiss hydroplanes, encfs1Ied the
ship, and they were greeted by the
white-uniformed crew of the monster
vessel. Later in the day, Captain H.
G. Muslin, as commander Of the aero
nautical station, paid an official caII
to Lieutenant Commander John ]. Hy-
land, and that officer shortly after
ward returned the official can.
The North Carolina, while assign
ed at present at the station Is at
tached to what is officially designat-
ed as the cruiser squadron of the
North Atlantic feet, of which Rear
Admiral Caperton, now at Haiti ON
the U. S. s. Washington, is COM
manding officer. At present, it Is
understood, it viii be mary weeks
before the cruiser is detached from
her present assignment. There are
trips into the gulf proposed and
planned, but until detached, The head
quarters of the North Carolina will
be at Pensacola.
There are two officers aboard the
7 North Carolina who are not strang-
ers to the service in Pensacola. They
are Surgeon CottIe and Midshipman
Moore, both Of whom having been
stationed aboard the battIeship Mis-
sissippi when that vessel was at PEN
sacola.
While the North Carolina is in the
armored cruiser class, she Is a larger
vessel than some of the late battle
ships now in active, front line service
of the navy. The cruiser has a dis
placement Of 1880 tons, and has an
indicated horsepower Of $4,000. She
carries 20 guns, some of the 1o-inch
calibre. Her broad, roomy decks are
particularly suited for aviation work,
and because Of this construction, as
much as anything else, is the reason
why she was assigned to the work in
which she win engage.
