Dutch merchants. it has been estab- nshed, have been taking out of Ger many great quantities of cherries and berries. which it is suspected are shipped on farther to England Local fruit merchants have just stumbled upon the fact that contracts already exist under which the best of the late fruit has been sold to Dutch men. The quantity is greater than all Holland would need or use. This fact along with the fact that Eng land always has imported German fruit, leads to the conviction that Germany's enemy is still being fed by German fruit.

 TELLS, Transcaucasia, Russia, Aug. 21.-Dr. Kochadur Bonapartian. an Armenian physician and surgeon. who has escaped to the Russian lines after serving for ten months with the Turk ish army, brings reassurances that no American missionary is known as yet to have died in Armenia as a result of the war.
 He believes that during the first three months of the year there were probably 200O deaths a day from dis ease alone among the Turkish soldiers and civilians, and he said that Turkish losses from all causes since the war began might be as high as 100000. Aside from this, food and ammunition supplies were growing so scant that he doubted that the Turks could offer ef- fectual resistance against the Russians. He said they did not appear to have any large strategic plan, but contend ed themselves with delaying the pre- ent advances and threatening the Rus sian left flank. north of the lake of Van

studied carefully but in the meantime German statement will be sought. Ambassador Gerard at Berlin will be instructed to look to the German government for an explanation of the sinking of the Arabic or at least for a statement of the facts that so far have been reported to the admiralty by the submarine commander. That this might take a fortnight is req lized from the fact that the German admiralty has heretofore declared it could communicate with submarines on ocean lanes only with difficulty, and that often it is necessary to await their return to home ports.
 It is recalled that so far the state department has been unable to se- cure reports from the German for eign office in the case of the Orduna which was shelled more than a fort night ago, and the same delay was experienced in the Leelanawa and Nebraskan cases.
 Notwithstanding the possibility of delay it has been decided that in matter of such gravity and impor- tance the amenities of diplomatic in tercourse as well as a sense of jus tice require that the German govern ment be given ample time to present its side of the case before the action to be taken by the United States is determined upon.

The ceremony originated and is | kept up in accordance with the be- | lief that the first children of a union between an ancestral culture-hero and a mythical snake princess were rat tlesnakes, and hence the elder brother of the latter generation.

 None of the Hopi tribe would will lingly kill a snake, poisonous or harmless, as they are regarded as sacred and irnbued with some of the peculiar attributes and powers O. the gods. In their ceremonies rattle snakes are principally used, but, due to care in handling them, accidents rarely happen during the ceremonies.
 The Hopi priests become so wrought up oyer the dance as Y progresses that the horror does not appear amid the rhythmic move ment and tragic gestures of tke dane CTS. The priests are long haired anGi painted in lurid colors. A chorus of tribesmen forms the orchestra, and the music comes from rattles that beat time for the dance.
 The snake dance is not the only bis event of the nine-day celebration. \ snake race is enjoyed by the Indian boys. There is an antelope dance and other fantastic dances in which the entire tribes take spart.
 The spectators form q cosmopolitan crowd. Cowboys, prospectors, army officers. scientists, photographers and tourists mingle with the Hopis. This year an unusual number of tourists are in the region awaiting the snake dance, which is the only one of the many sacred rites that is performed in the open.

Davison to announce that the American bankers would withdraw from participa- tion in the Chinese loan compelled the house of which MT. Davison is mem- Der to say to the representatives of that -France-that it could not under take the loan which was requested
 Now. the United States, or what is the same thing, the great body of Ameri- can bankers and a large number of Americans of great wealth as well as 2 good many whose possessions are small, relatively speaking, have co-operated in underwriting the greatest loan of the kind ever made and Washington encour- aged it.
 The time may come when there will be general knowledge of the infinity Of detail as well as good understa nding of the attitude the American people would be likely to take toward the loan. There never can be thorough knowledge of the vast labor which the preparation for 1t entai'ed or the manner in which every possible factor of the transaction was considered and scrutinlzed with almost microscopic accuracy in order that it might be discerned whether any element of weakness could be found
 The association of American leaders in banking life has been of invaluable as- sistance. Nevertheless, no small amount of tact was necessary in order to bring American bankers as a whole into cor dial co-opera tion with this understand ing. That was due to the fact that 1t was the first undertaking of the kind in which the United States ever had any share, as it was the first international financing of the kind on record. Now. that the sagacity and the wonderful tact which have characterized the leaders have resulted in the consummaton of this loan, the bankers of the United States will be well prepared in case any later work of international financing of this kind is permitted to the American bankers. One of the most powerful of the healthful influences which have se- cured this cordial co-operataion was the complete absence of any attitude of su- periority of command and leadership of self-conscious power. as well as the un- derstanding that all were to be treated with absolute equality and that no one was to make undue profits or to have exceptional opportunities through the placing of this loan. These are some of the comments which have been heard in the financial district and have been asso- oiated with the part MT. Morgan and Mr Davison have had in this transac- ton.
