KAISER REPLIES

NEW YORK, oct. Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
delivered to Secretary Lansing today
a note from the German government
concerning the Arabic case, which,
II is understood, affords a negotiable
basis for the settlement Of the ques-
ton.
The ambassador was closeted with
Secretary Lansing for only a few min
utes, leaving with him a note the con-
tents OF which was not disclosed. Both
the secretary and the Ambassador de-
ctded that nothing concerning II would be
announced. 1t is understood that the
secretary will take the note with him to
Washington and after discussing il with
President Wilson will indicate whether
or not II Is satisfactory.
II was learned reliably that the note
furnishes a basis for further negotia-
tions and from this II was inferred that,
while admitting the principle that mer-
chantmen would not be torpedoed with

WASHINGTON, oct. 2.-Th e
American naval policy for the com

recognized the sudden development

Of undersea boats. will be broadly
affected by the British admiralty's
development OF successful means for

Confidential reports to the United
states government disclosing that the
destruction Of from fifty to seventy Ger
man submarines had been effected by
the use Of nets. submarine telephones.
new types Of mines and by covering the
submarine area with flee Of
thousands OF high speed motor boats
armed with rapid fire guns, have full
filled the convictions OF American naval
experts that means would be found TO
successfully combat undersea warfare.
Likewise these reports have reaffirmed
the faith Of American experts in the all
big gunship+-the dreadnaught-as the eff
tective fighting force OF any navy.
One immediate development OF this
newest lesson drawn from the European
war probably will be provision I'm the
new naval bill for continued additions to
the dreadnaught fleet instead OF build
ing submarines on such an extensive
scale as has been desired by many.
II is plain. however. that the develop
ment Of successful means OF repelllng
submarine warfare viii not mean the
abandonment Of substantial additions TO
the American submarine fleet. The new
naval building program probably will In

One Divorce to Six Weddings.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-One divorce or
separate maintenance suit was filed in
the Circuit or Superior Court for
every six marriage licenses issued in
Chicago in 1914 County Clerk Rob-
ert M. Sweitzer has made public some
of the figures which will be included
in the first annual report of the Blu
reau of Marriage and Divorce Sta
tistics.
Mr.. Sweitzer las prepared table
showing the number of marriage Ii
censes issued by months. The heav-
lest number of suits came in March,
when 532 suits were filed. A total
of 1856 suits were filed during the
year, as compared with 93,S97 mar
riage licenses issued.
Statistics on the number of divorces
granted are not yet available, but will
be in the printed report to be sub
mitted to the judges of the Circuit
and Superior Courts within short
time The divorces are about one to
every eight marriages.
"Chicago's record is almost as bad
as Japan's," said Mr.. Sweitzer. ut
is said that in Japan one couple out
of every five go into the divorce court.
We must have in mind, however, that
Chicago is the dumping ground for
the marital troubles of many persons
who are not Chicagoans."

Parcel Post Big Boon to Mail
Order Houses.

Washington, Feb. 22-That the par
eel post is a great boon to the big
mail-order houses, butfa failure in pro-
noting the direct supply of farm pro-
duce to consumers, is the principal
finding of the Bristow joint committee.
which will make its report to con-
gress this week.
After severely criticising the admin
istration system by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson, the committee recon-
mended reforms.
The committee says that it is "im-
possible to determine the cost of the
parcel post service or the revenue
that is derived from it," and adds:
1.-THE report demonstrates to strik-
ing degree the fact that the great bulk
of the parcel post business originates
with shippers i'll few large cities,
and that the extent to which the sys-
tenn is being utilized by farmers, res
idents of small towns and the average
citizen not engaged in the mail-order
business is very slight
Reforms proposed by the commits
sion are intended to make the service
of greater general use to the people
of all sections of the country.

Fast Cars at Auto Show.

Arrangements have been made by
the committee in charge of Freder-
ick's First Annual Automobile Show
to be held in the Armory, March 8,
and 5, to show one of Americas lead
ing manufacturers famous racing car.
The MERCER Company will show
this machine and the Frederick pub
lie will have their first opportunity
to inspect such car at close range.
1t will be seen stripped and ready to
enter a race in which it would go as
fast as 100 miles an hour. This is
a feature that was not seen at the big
automobile show in Baltimore.
1t is the purpose of the committee
to give frederick in it's first annual
show a complete exhibit of every type
of automobile made in the world and
it was for this purpose that arrange
ments were made to secure famous
racing auto.
Work is progressing on the fifty
white columns that will separate the
different exhibits. Ernest Pellingall,
a local sign writer, has been engaged
to furnish handsome hand-painted
cards designating the various dis
plays.
Great interest is being manifested
all through the county and already a
number of automobile parties have
been organized in the various sections
of Frederick county to visit the show
