FEDERAL RESERVE
 BOARD OPTIMISTIC
w. p. G. HARDING SAYS PLAe,Na COTTON ON CONTRAeANp LIST
 NOT DESPERATE SITUATION

Birmingham.--W. P G. Hardins or the Federal Reserve Roard told the Alabama Merchants |. soc1ation here that the n,,.- ing of cotton on the contraband lie, by the allies did not create desperafs situation, but rather one calling for fn- telllgent leadership. He urged South- ern bankers to make concessions to hnance the crop, and predicted there would be international competition fo, the American crop despite the fact that It was contraband. Mr. Harding handled, for the resere board the sr- engagements for the $100,0o0,0Oo cot. ton loan fund. He explained to the Alabama merchants, however that he was not speaking for the federal board. but was giving his personal views
 Germany,' said MT Harding, '1s as anxious to have cotton as the al lies are to prevent her. It is not in- conceivable that there may be evl dences before very long of internatioH- al competition for possession of the South's great staple. It is at least q possibility that cotton will be pur- chased in large quantities for foreign account and stored in Southern ware houses, to be shipped out as needed and as opportunities for shipment arise
 No one has ever accused the Ger mans of lacking in far sightedness They are already looking forward to what will happen when peace is re, stored, and that they will make sar preme effort to recover their lest trade with other nations can not bs doubted. It is reasonable to believe that they would look with c0mpla' cency upon the absolute control of the cotton market by the mills of Eng land and America, permitting then to secure their supplies of cotton az very low prices and defer their owH purchases until after peace is made and take the chances of securing theK their own stocks at much higher prices? It is not reasonable to believe that they will arrange to buy cottnk as the spinners of other nations buy it, and can they not easily arrange to have their cotton purchases stored h this country for their account untB they can transport it to their OWN shOres?"

SUBMARINE "A
 FINALLY RAISED
ACTUAL RAISING OPERATION OC- CUPIED TWO HOURS-PLAN
 WORKED WITHOUT HITCH.
INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
At Time of the Accident 1t Was Re- ported the Vessel Was Not in Good Condition When She
 Went Below the Water.

Honolulu.-The United States sub. marine F-14, submerged outside the harbor here since March % last, was refioated and lowed to the quarantine station in Honolulu bay.
 Although the "A has been brought into the harbor the wreck is still sub merged to a depth of six feet, and will be drydocked. Nothing has been divulged by the naval officials regard ing conditions.
 The actual raising operations occu- pied two hours, the plans of the e1gi- neers working without hitch. The still submerged vessel was lowed slow ly into the harbor, where all the shipping, including the interned Ger man boat Gera, half-masted their flags.
 When the submarine has been dry docked a board composed of Rear Ad- miral Clifford J. Boush, commandant of the naval station; Lieutenant Kirby B. Crittenden and Naval Constructor Julius A. Furrer will begin a thor ough investigation for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of the disaster.
 The submarine "A, commanded by Lieutenant Alfred l.. -Ede and with a crew of 21 men, went to the bottom during maneuvers of the 'F'' squad ron. She was located TWO days later and Diver John Agraz of the navy, r1yho I>I S.l,s a new worlds record, in ar effort to facilitate the work of bringing her to the surface.
 Attempts at rescue failed, and on March 30 it was reported she lay in 270 feet of water and would have to be raised by pontoons.
 Secretary Daniels announced that the boat would be raised at any cost in order to determine the cause of the accident and diving apparatus and divers were sent out
 Frank Crilly. a diver, went down FPS feet and found one of the com partments of the F-4 filled with water. zAHother William -Iyonghman descend. ed 220 feet the next day and was se- riousIy injured by water pressure. These men put lines on the F-4 by which the boat was dragged slowly up to the shelving bottom, but in the process the stern was wrecked and broken, and work was halted to await the arrival of pontoons. Six of these, capable of lifting 60 tons each, were sent from Mare Island navy yard early in August on the Maryland.
 At the time of the accident reports gained circulation that the F-4 was low water. These were officially de nied.

WINTER MAY LIMIT
 TEUTONS' ADVANCE
WITH OPENING OF AUTUMN AT. TENTloN IS DIRECTED TO
 EQuINoxiAL STORMS.
PRESS ON TOWARD GRODN0
To the East of Prussian Frontier Der lin Reports an Advance of Teutons and the Capture
 Of Lipsk.

London While reports from the Eastern war theater embracing the region from CoHrland to southeastern Galicia indicate that the Germans and Austrians are still pressing the Rus sians hard or tenaciously following them in retreat, military observers here hope that the approaching fall will limit the Teuton's advance.
 Both Berlin and Vienna emphasize the statement that Field Marshal von Hindenburg's forces along the Dvina river in Courland have renewed their activities which were brought to q sudden halt recently with the success of the Russians in holding Riga as a menace to von Hindenburg's rear. h southwestern Russia in the Brest-Lit- ovsk region, the Austrians and Ger mans are chiefly concerned in driving Grand Duke Nicholas armies further into the Prpet marshes evidently with the purpose of repeating the early success of the Germans in the Mazurian lake region of East Prussia.
 To the northwest in the sector lying only a short distance to the east of the East Prussian frontier Berlin reports an advance of Teutons and the cap ture of the town of Lipsk, lying just to the west of the fortress of Grodno, upon which the aims of the Germans now are evidently centered.
 With the opening of the autumn months military observers are direct ing attention to the fact that the Rus sian equinoxial storms are due to be- gin about September 21. They assert that they are the danger limit to mili- tary operations in the Eastern fields. It is recalled by some of these ob- servers that the autumnaI equinox marked the turning point in the Ma poleonic campaign. The first warning was a light snowfall, preceding the equinox, but soon afterward heavy SHOWS fell and with them came di--.ae. ter to Napoleon. 5,,o,,,,l

FULL PREPARATION
 FOR ARABIC'S LOSS
GERMANY'S INTENTION IS COM MUNiCATED FORMALLY TO
 STATE DEPARTMENT.

Washington.-The United States re- ceived further assurances from Ger many of it's determination to yield to the demands of the government re- garding the protection ot American lives at sea
 Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. having received lengthy 1 instructions from Berlin, telephoned the State Department and asked for an appointment with Secretary Lans ing. Promptly at the hour set he ap peared at the department.
 The ambassador informed the secre- tary of state that Germany wH,,1zi give full satisfaction 10 the United States loi the Ioss of American lives on the White Star liner Arabic. The Ger man government, he said, would go further than mere disavowel as soon as it is definitely established that the vessel was sunk without warning. Sec retary Lansing informed the ambassa- dor that the United States considered it had conclusive proof that no warn ing was given, and the ambassador in- dicated in return that the German gov ernment desired only to receive a re- port of the incident from it's own sources.
 The question of the disavowal of the sinking of the Lusitania and an offer of reparation for the loss of American lives was not taken up, for the reason that the United States has informed Germany it desires the is sues in the two cases to be consid- ered>separately.
 The two governments, therefore, have come to an understanding on that point This government inform ed Germany it would insist on dealing with the Arabic first, Germany there fore. will withhold it's final reply on the Lusitania case, which will close the controversy until after the Arabic case has been settled
 After the conference the ambassa- dor indicated his belief that the nego- tiations in the Arabic case would be followed by negotiations over the Lu- sitania. In support of this statement he cited the recent declaration in Der lin that submarine policy satisfac- tory to the United States shortly would be made.
