EVIDENCE FOR GERMANY
Count Won Bernstorff Told U. S. Is
Waiting for Berlin Word.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Conferences
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing and between Secretary
Lansing and Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, brought the
situation growing out of German sub
marine activities to the following
status:
a. The German ambassador has
been furnished with the evidence of
officers and of survivors of the Ara
bic, all agreeing that the liner was
proceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning, and has been ad-
vised that the United States desires
a disavowal of the attack and repara-
ton for the American lives lost.
(2) The evidence will be sent by
Count Won Bernstorff to the Berlin
foreign office, to which it has not
been available before, and probably
ten days will elapse before Berlin can
be heard from.

COVERING Cream Cans.

great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost if the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
tance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Ex-
pensive jacketed cans are not a neces-
sity to keep the cream cool. In sum-
mer weather just an ordinary piece
of wet burlap thrown over the cans
will keep the temperature of the cream
as much as 20 degrees below what it
would rise to if left uncovered while
being transported over the average
hauling distance.

London, Sept. 1.-THE fate of Riga
hangs on the battle now raging along
the Dvina river.
After several days deadlock it has
turned in favor of the Germans. By
one of those battering offensives
which, although costly in men and
munitions, have invariably been sue
cessful, Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's army has at last set foot on the
Rovno Petrograd railway, between
Wilma and Dvinsk. The whole AustrO-
German forces have been striving to
gain this railway since the fall of
the Polish fortress.
The offensive which began a week
ago was carried on from three direc-
tions upon Dyinsk and the railway on
either side Of the town while, further
south, the invaders advanced toward
Wilma
The Russians, before superior
forces supplied with the usual mass
of artillery were forced back to the
lake district which the railway pene-
trates and made stand there.
simultaneously the Germans pushed
their way eastward towards Slonlm
and Pinsk, both of which are on roads
which join the main railway line,
while the Austrians. with whom there
are many German units, are fighting
hard to reach Rovno, the southern
terminus of the line.
The country is virtually all under
water, through which the Austro-Ger-
mans have to advance against well
prepared Russian positions. The east
ern bank of the Sereth, from which
the Russians are delivering their
counter attacks, is verltable fort-
ress, from which the Russians emerge
every time their opponents approach,
taking heavy toll of them in killed,
wounded and prisoners. According to
the Russian accounts, neaerly 10000
prisoners have been taken in the
fighting along this river.
The operations in the west are
marked by the continuance of the
great artillery battle from Belgium to
the Argonne. A duel between guns of
all calibers along the entire front has
now been going on for nearly three
weeks, and during the weekend has
been particularly violent around Ar
ras. in the Argonne and Champagne.
Rome.-A battle between Italian
and Austrian naval forces, the former
assisted by French submarine, was
fought in the Adriatic sea. The min
istry of marine announced that one
Austrian torpedo boat had been dam
aged seriously.
