Hopes for an Early Adjust
ment of Arabic Case Are
Felt in Washington
DISCUSSION ON
IN BOTH CAPITALS
America Is Still Waiting for
a Disavowal by Ger
many

Washington, Sept. l6.-The tension
that has arisen over the Arabic incident
between Germany and the United States
apparently was relaxed yesterday and
hopes for an early and friendly adjust
ment- #ere renewed in German and gov
eminent quarters. The fact that in
formal discussions were proceeding, both
in Berlin and Washington, was empha-
sized. There were indications, however,
that il Germany should decline to meet
the demand for disayowal, the United
States would sever diplomatic relations.
Friendliness and candor are understood
to have characterized the conversation
between Mr.. Lansing and Ambassador
Bernstorff. The latter has been gwen
an opportunity to communicate freely
with his government, 80 that it may be
clearly understood in Berlin why Off
Gals here are convinced that the torpe-
doing of the Arabic could not have been
a mistake, justified or unjustified. In
view of the evidence, the United States
wants a dsavowal of the act and this
was made clear to Count Won Bernstorfi.
Arbitration cannot be an issue for con-
sideration until the attitude of the Ger
man government toward the act itself is
placed on record. Later the American
may take under considera-
ton proposal to arbitrate, not the
principle, but what indemnity should be
paid for lives lost.
The evidence which has been submit
ted by the United States is regarded
here as proving conelusively that until
she submerged to launch the torpedo
against the Arabic, the German subma-
Tine was concealed behind the sinking
British steamer Dunsley and could not
have been seen by the captain Of the
Arabic. Furthermore, it is shown that
the Arabic was struck in such way
that the submarine must have been at
right angles from her when the torpedo
was fired, instead of in position TO
make ramming by the liner POSSIBLE

day to leave Washington for the sum.

AN ANCIENT SEA.
Spread Over Western and Central Parts
of North America

Many million years ago, long before
the birth OF the Rocky mountains, a
large inland sea spread over the western
and central parts of North America. In
geologic language the invasion of this
sea occurred in Mississippi time-a pc
iod just preceding the one in which the
bituminous and anthracite coal beds that
extend over portions of central and east
ern North America were formed. This
sea covered much of the present site OF
the Rocky mountain area, the central
plains, and at times part of the Great
Plains in the United States. At differ
ent times il opened into the Arctic ocean
on the north, the Pacific on the south,
and probably the Gulf of Mexico on the
southeast.
This ineursion OF salt water was not
the first or the last TO invade the Amer
lean continent. At each incursion mud
DIV. sandy. or limy deposits mixed with
sea shells and other animal remains were
laid down along the beach and upon the
sea floor. Strange as IL may seem, most
of these rocks formed ages ago now
stand above sea level and constitute
plains. plateaus, and even mountains.
Animal life was very abundant in this
Mississippi sea. Nearly II not at all the
classes OF animals now living were pres
ent. Sharks and fishes, though different
in appearance from the present forms,
sported along the shore or swan the
deep. Sea lilies or crinoids, animals
built on the same general plan as the
starfish but having calcareous cup with
an attached stem. decorate the sea
floor. Sea shells belonging TO the same
class a. the oysters and snails were
there. The lamp shells, or more tech
nicallv speaking the brachiopods, resem'
bling butterflies, mingled with a cork

SWINGS 5000 FEET
IN THE AIR WHILE
MENDING PLANE
Aviator Hung On with One Hand
While Repairing
Wires.

London, Sept. l6--The thrilling story
OF an Australian air pilot who chung by
one hand to the framework of dis
abled aeroplane 5000 feet over the en-
emy's lines while executing repairs with
the other was told here yesterday by an
officer observer on leave of absence from
northern France.
"We had crossed the German lines
and their guns were booming at us
from way down below when Cornstock
1.-THE pilot noticed that our left wing
was fitting down and not responding TO
the controls" said the officer. HE
swung out of the seat to the right side
but the plane continued to tilt, and it
looked as If we were going over sure.
"Cornstock acted quickly. He let him
self down with nothing but thousands
feet beneath him, holding tight with
his right hand and fumbling with the
control wires where they were jammed
under the machine, The strain on his
right arm must have been terrific. Sec
onds seemed hours as he swayed there,
his legs dangling in space while the ma
chine swung over air bumps. As a
matter of fact ii was all done in an
instant and he was back in his seat cool

To Be Floated by the Great

AMERICAN DOLLARS
FOR INTEREST
Allies May Get Aid of Pro-
German Bankers in
New York

New York, Sept. l6.-Further details
of the loan by which the Anglo-French
mission and the American financial IN
terests viii endeavor to stabilize foreign
exchange became known in the wall
street district Tuesday No one who
was in a position to have definite lnior-
nation of the plans had heard that any
thing less than 81 ,000,000,000 would sui
fee. The credit is to be established by
the issuance of Joint government bonds
of England and France drawing per
cent interest, the bonds being a first lien
on the two countries named. lnforma-
ton was not as definite concerning the
maturity of the bonds, and that Will be
one of the matters settled by discussion.
From one source it was learned that
some favor lo-year bonds and Others ia
yor bonds which shall run from five to
10 years, the former being the minimum,
and the bonds to mature serially.
One thing has been definitely agreed
upon, and that is the bonds, principal
and interest are to be paid in American
dollars. free from the income taxes of
both countries. The interest will be
paid in New York City and the principal
also as it becomes due. The bonds will
be listed on the New York stock ex-
change and win be dealt in as are other
bonds. That is one of the arguments
used by those who favor the longer term
for the bonds--it would afford more op-
portunity for trading.
1t was pointed out Tuesday that this
is the first time in history that Eng
land has ever been willing to pay debt
in the coin of another nation. Her gold
sovereign has been the standard of the
world for centuries. The American dol
lar for the first time supersedes and for
that purpose is made the worlds stand
ard coin.
The bonds are to reach the American
public through the most powerful finan.
cial syndicate ever organized. This syn
dicate will consist, not OF any single
group of bankers, nor any single finan-
cIal interest, but will be made up prac-
tically of every big banking institution
in the United States.

White River Junction, Sept. l6.--
Yesterday was fair day of the fairest
kind. With clear skies and mid-sum-
mer temperature the second day of the
Vermont state fair was ideal for pleas
ure seeking, and the 10000 people who
passed the gates enjoyed every minute
of the day. The only disappointing fea-
ture was the failure to see the flights
of the aeroplane which had been adyer-
tised to introduce a spectacle OF Euro
pean warfare, but which did not take
place owing to the accident that hap
pened the day before. While every eff
fort was made by Sec. Davis to secure
another machine, he was unable to To-
cate one that could get here before the
close of the week.
Both automobile parks were crowded
with cars to-day, many coming from
Montpelier and Rutland, bringing mem
bers of their boards of trade. The judg-
ing of stock in all departments continued
throughout the day. In the afternoon
before crowded grandstands the parade
OF horses and cattle took place. 1t was
one of the most satisfying exhibitions
of the fair.
The cadets from Norwich university
gave an exhibition of military maneu-
vers on horseback, hurdle jumping and
fancy and track riding.

Some Ball Game

The North End Champs beat

morning with Ty Larsen and
"Bat" Nelson pitching hay for
the Vans while Secrests pitched
for the regulars. Secrests pitch
ed no-hit ball up to the sixth in
ming when big" Ole hit one for
a single. Walt Maher made one
of the classiest one hand stops
ever seen on the grounds. Ty
Larsen was given rough treat
ment the first inning when with
three on V. Larsen hit one of
his famous smashes towards
Sauvie's Island and trying to
play hog was thrown out at the
plate. Young Larsen was knock
ed off the rubber in the fifth
and bat" Nelson goes in to
stop the rumpus. BAT" must
have fed all his speed and curves
to the High School boys, as he
was soon in a hopeless fix and
never got out until the regulars
went around three times. His
six or seven helders came in
with tongues hanging out after
the rumpus. big" Ole and V.
Larsen were the stick men. the
former getting two two-baggers
and a single while Larsen got a
triple. double and two singles.
Secrests had most of the Vans
swinging so hard that they saw
the hair on the back of their
neck. "Razoo" Hawkins started
to officiate but got cold feet
whea the players commenced to
ride him. Hawkshaw took up
the job and umpired in most ad-
mirable manner. The Champs
want a game with some town

Interesting Lectures

Much interest has been shown
in the series of lectures at the
Moose Hall during the past week.
The question box has been pat
ronized literally. The purpose
Of these lectures, as announced,
is to turn the search lights of
truth upon Catholicism and show
just what il is and is not. what
it teaches and does not teach.
Education and not controversy is
the key note of these lectures.
They are given to promote har-
mony and not discord. If peo-
pie as a whole would only study
those who differ from them on
any important subject, and look
at them through the eyes of fair
ness and charity, instead of hate
and prejudice, how much strife,
dissention and other manifold
evils would be avoided.
The subject on Friday evening
at Moose Hall will be on the
Church and personal liberty f:
her position regarding tree
thought. free speech, free press.
etc. On Saturday evening. the
subject will be The Church and
American liberties" !" On Sum
day evening. the topic will be
why are there so many Chris
tian sects or churches. with new
ones sprinPing up constantlyW
Meanwhile questions placed in
the question box will he answer

Makes Report

A complete check of the fnan-
cial standing of st. Johns was
completed by City Auditor Bar
bur and will be submitted to the
City council of Portland this
morning. City Attorney LaRoche
also will tell the Council that the
questions raised by some resi-
dents of st. Johns TO the effect
that the annexation law is inyal-
id are without foundation.
The legal questions raised
hinged upon the right of the
State Legislature TO enact a law
that provided for the annexation
of new territory to Portland by
a vote of a majority of those
voting upon the question. City
Attorney LaRoche says the law
is valid and that if it was COM
piled with in the election in June
in Portland, there can be no legal
question as to the validity of the
annexation.
The financial report compiled
by City Auditor Barbur shows
that st. Johns has a total bond
ed debt of 1862. 500. 62 of which
$76. 600 is in general bonds and
$2S6, 520.62 i'm improvement
bonds issued for street and sew
er improvements. The report
says that no provision has been
made for the retirement of the
general bonds and that the
sinking fund for the improve
ment bonds has been diverted
by the payment of interest on
the bonds. Wednesdays Ore
