NO INDEMNITY ON
STEAMER ARABIC
IS BERLIN REPLY
Note to American Government
Expresses Deep Regret
for Deaths.
MISTAKE is NOT ADMITTED
Belief Of Submarine Commander That
Liner Was About to Attack Him
Held by Germany to Justify
His Action.

Washington, Sept 13.-Germany's
note to the United States bearing on
the sinking of the White Star line
steamer Arabic on August 10. which
was communicated to the American
ambassador, James w. Gerard, for
transmission to Washington, is in the
form of a memorandum under date Of
September Z. the text of which is as
follows:
On August 10 German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south of
kinsale and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by gunfire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw a large
steamer, as developed later, the Ara
bic. She was recognized as an enemy
vessel, as she did not fly any flag and
bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became con-
WINGED that the steamer had the in
tention Of attacking and ramming him.
In order to anticipate this attack no
gave orders for the submarine to dive
and fired a torpedo at the steamer.
After firing he convinced himself that
the people on board were being res
cued in Is boats.
According to his Instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
out saving the lives unless the ship at
tempted to escape or offered resist
ance. He was forced, however. to con-
clude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned vlo-
lent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion Is all the more eb-
vious as he had been fired upon at
great distance in the Irish sea on Au-
gust 14-that is, a few days before
by a large passenger steamer, appar-
emily belonging to the British Royal
Mail Steam Packet company, which he
had neither attacked nor stopped.
The German government most deep
Ky regrets that lives were lost through
the action of the commander. 1t par
ticularly expresses this regret to the
government of the United States on
account of the death of American citi-
zens.
The German government is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
ton to grant indemnity in the matter.
even II the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tentions of the Arabic.
IL 1t should prove to be the case that
it is impossible for the German and
American governments to reach har-
monious opinion on this point. the Ger
man government would be prepared to
submit the difference Of opinion. as be-
ing a question of international law, to
The Hague tribunal for arbitration.
pursuant to article 3S OF The Hague
convention for the pacific settlement
Of international disputes.
In 80 doing it assumes that as mat
ter of course the arbitral decision shall
not be admitted to have the impor-
lance of a general decision on the per-
instability or the converse under In
ternational law. Of German submarine

Grierson had telegraphed her father
to meet her In st. Louis on her return
from Florida.
When Jasper Grierson travelled alone

car. But when Margery's tastes were
to be consulted, the drawing-room was
none too good. Indeed, as 1t transpired
on the Journey northward from St.
Louis, the Anitas drawing-room
proved to be not good enough.

tip from black cigar of heroic pro-
portions and reaching for the box OF

I'll begin now. IL you are going to
smoke that dreadful thing in this
stuffy little den," was the unfilial re-
tort; and the daughter found a maya
zine and exchanged the drawing-room
with its threat of asphyxiation for a
seat in the body Of the car. Halfway
down the car one Of the sections was
still curtained and bulkheaded; of
course, the occupant of the middle
section must be Ill. Quite suddenly
her interest became acute. Who was
the sick one. and why was he, or she,
travelling without on attendant?

minutes later Margery rejoined her
father In the private compartment.

young man who sat at the table with

began abruptly.
The gray-wolf Jasper nodded. He
had an excellent memory for faces.

query followed the nod like nimble

"He is on this car; sick with fever

How do you know It's the same

81 made the conductor take me to
see him. He talked to me in Italian
and called me 'Carlotta MIA"
"Humph! he didn't look like dago."
HE isn't; it's just because he is
delirious."
There was a long pause, broken
finally by a curt "Well?" from the
father.

response. "Of course, there Ia q

SYNOPSIS.

Kenneth Griswold. an unsuccessful
writer because of socialistic tendencies
sups with his friend cambridge at Chau-
diere's restaurant In New Orleans and
declares that IL necessary he will steal to
keep from starving. He holds up Andrew
Galbraith, president of the Bayou State
Security, in his private Office and escapes
with 100000 In cash. BY original methods
he escapes the hue and cry and goes
aboard the Belle Julie as a deckhand. He
unexpectedly confronts Charlotte Farm
ham of Wahaska Mimi, who had seen
him cash Galbraith's check in the bank.
Charlotte recognizes Griswold. but de-
cides to write to Galbraith rather than
denounce the robber to the captain. She
sees the brutal mate rescued from drown
ing by Griswold and delays sending her
letter to Galbraith. She talks to Girls
void and by his advice sends her letter
of betrayal to Galbraith anonymously.
Griswold is arrested on the arrival of the
boat at St Louis but escapes from his
captors. Griswold decides on Wahaska,
Mimi, as hiding place, and after out
nttlng himself properly. takes the train.

FLOOD COTTON RING
WITH BUYING ORDERS
More or Less Liquidation
for Long Accounts
Evidenced

New Orleans, April 15.--While the
cotton market was quiet during the
greater part of today's session and
more or less liquidation of the long
account was in evidence, there were
two periods of strength which put
prices we'll above yesterdays close.
Opening prices were about 10 points up
from this there was a general sag until
the net advance on the most active
months amounted to only half a dozen
points. In the last few minutes of trad
ing the ring was flooded with buying
orders with the result that the close
was practically at the best of the day,
a net gain of IA to g points.
Liverpool stood much higher than due
when the market opened and higher
prices here we're in sympathy with this
rise. A small amount of buying was
done on yesterdays announcement by
the British government about not put
ting cotton on the contraband list. Sell
ing out of long cotton was induced by
favorable crop reports from many parts
of the belt and they also stimulated Of
ferings of short cotton. Toward the
close the large export movement for

ton and again brought into prominence

New York, April 15.-(Special)
Again in the usual customary manner
of the past two months the Liverpool
market refuses to agree to the view
OF the American markets showing q
steadiness of tone despite the weakness
of our market at the close yesterday
which was a surprise.
1t shows. however that the mer-
chants of other nations do not regard
the advance in Liverpool as over These
advices caused a complete change In
the attitude of the market, which
closes steady tonight at the highest
closing prices of the season.
With the increase in employment of
idle men there comes demand for
cotton goods and our retail merchants
are without supply of goods of any
kind. Probably there are more empty
paper boxes on the shelves than in
many years. If these merchants decide
to buy q few goods there will be diff
flculty in obtaining a large supply.

market surpassed all records for more

feature was the comparative quiescence

tically the entire list rose under the
irresistible influence of an avalanche

was partly neutralized by renewal
of selling for profits on an enormous

and the life he is now living have come
