5000 HOMELESS BY FLOOD
Thousands of Acres of Rich Farm
Lands Under Water in Ar
kansas Section.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 31.-More
than 5000 persons are homeless with
in a radius of 200 miles of Newport,
Ark, and many others, marooned in
their houses by the food, have been
living in upper stories or on roofs with
only scant food supplies for four, five
and even six days, it was said here,
last night by d. c. Welty, agricultural
commissioner of the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern railway. After
motorboat trip of a week through
the flooded section, Mr.. Welty report
ed that he found conditions serious,
thousands of acres of rich farm lands
under water, heavy loss in live stock
and personal property, but that ap-
parently there had been no loss of
life and refugees were being well cared
for in various camps.

For Lives Lost On Arabic.

The Arabic case is less clear cut
than that of the Lusitania on which
she had official reports. No subma-
rine commander has as yet admitted
sinking the Arabic.
Germany will, nevertheless, pay for
the lives of the two Americans lost
with that ship if sufficient evidence is
presented by witnesses.
The United States is accordingly
asked to obtain all the facts and pre-
sent them for the consideration of the
German government. A satisfactory
adjustment will then be reached.
Germany Indignantly denies a report
that the officers and crew of the sub
marine which blew up the Arabic
have been ordered by the German ad-
miralty to go into hiding. Germany
asserts that no efforts are being made
to withhold these men from punish
ment if orders of their superiors were
disobeyed

To Mediate With England.

In reminding the United States of
her promise to mediate with England
for the freedom of the seas, Germany
maintains that the suggestion of such
mediation originated with this govern
ment.
A resolute intention to insist upon
the freedom Of the seas was clearly
expressed by President Wilson in his
last note to Germany on the Lusitania.
Germany does not interpret this to
refer to her own ships or the ships of
any particular belligerent but to ships
owned by neutrals and sailing under
neutral flags.
She maintains, for instance, that
Great Britain should permit American
ships to go wherever they please, even
to German ports, provided they do not
carry contraband.

PLANS FOR LARGER u. S. NAVY
Leagues Campaign in 81 States to
Arouse Sentiment Succeeds
New President Chosen.

New York, Sept. 1.-Col. Robert NJ.
Thompson was elected president OF
the Navy League of the United
States by the board of directors here
to succeed General Horace Porter
who declined reelection. General
Porter has been president of the or
ganization since 1905, and on his re-
fusal to serve further in that office
he was named as honorary president.
Arthur B. Lambert of st. Louis,
president of the St. Louis Aero club,
and Henry B. Joy of Detroit, were
elected second and third vice presi-
dents, respectively, these being newly
created Offices.
A number of plans for a continual
ton of the leagues efforts to obtain
from Congress legislation for q larger
navy were adopted by the directors,
although their nature was not dis
closed. A report submitted by Arthur
H. Dadmun, the secretary, said the
leagues campaign to arouse sentiment
for an increased navy had been con-
Quoted in 81 states with marked re-
suits.

BOsSISM WRONG, SAYS ROOT
People Urged to Be Armed With Short
Ballot to Establish Their
Own Rule.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. From the
floor of the constitutional convention
President Elihu Root condemned the
system Of ''bossism" and invisible
government" which. he said, to his
knowledge has dominated New York
for 40 years, and urged that the people
be armed with the short ballot in Or
der that they may establish their own
rule. 1t was all wrong, he declared.
that any other rule should exist.
This domination" Mr.. Root de-
clared in part, has caused deep and
sullen and long continued resentment
among the people at being governed
by men not of their choosing. They de-
demand a change. The short ballot
plan is a solution, or at least it may
be the first step that will work out a
solution"

Germany Pledges Herself.

In the exact words of high official,
she pledged herself that mot one
American should go overheard"
Whatever the form of diplomatic
presentation may have been, Germany
did, without reservation, assume full
responsibility for the loss Of Ameri-
can lives aboard the Lusitania.
Her offer Of reparation was so un-
qualified that only method of deter
mining the amount of damage remains
to be ascertained.
She requests the United States to
suggest some means of ascertaining
such damages.
She does not disavow the destruc-
ton Of the Lusitania. This she feels
is impossible for the reason that she
has already officially honored the COM
mander of the successful submarine.
Moreover she vigorously maintains
that the giant Cunarder loaded with
munitions was in reality a ship of
war. She realizes, however, that this
fact did not warrant the taking of
American lives.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in Selec-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness,
your first thought would be OF food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ting of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress rs
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouIdings and steel veerered doors
Nearly every important change IL
building construction is away FROM
the fire hazard of wood.
One of The 1nost significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
Iy supplanting/ the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
gurfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced single that Is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that il becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
Ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
