Mary Logan Tucker, daughter OF Gen.
John A. Logan, began the circulation
of a petition in Washington Wednes-

Plattsburg, n. Y, and which is to be

Presidio, Cal. She says it will be a
practical object lesson in woman's In
terest and part in the national pre-
parednesS. A course in first aid, sig
mailing, making Of bandages and 9TH
err war supplies and instruction in the
use of small arms is suggested by Mrs.
Tucker. The first aid instruction, she
belives, should be given by the sur
geon generals department OF N army
and navy. The whole plan, Mrs. Tuck
er says, Is to avoid the waste which
occurs in the first few months OF war
or other great national emergencies.
The United States treasury is in
excellent condition and there is no
present prospect that the government
will issue bonds or short term notes
to fill it's Golfers, according to a state
ment by Secretary McAdoo last Tues
day. Its too soon to talk about reve-
nue. legislation" said Mr.. McAdoo. Il
don't know what the estimates will be,
and consequently cannot talk about
revenues" He added, however, thai
congress probably would be asked to
extend operation Of h emergency
tax beyond December 81, Its present
limit. No consideration had been
given, he declared, to the exemption
limit of the income tax law, or other
plans suggested to increase revenues.
But" said the secretary, Il have never
considered a bond issue. The treasury
is in excellent condition and there is no
country on the globe more ble to pay
more taxes than the United States II
our expenditures are to be increased.
I'm not worrying about the situation,
and 1 guess T should be the first man
to worry"
The German admiralty, says d
Berlin dispatch, On Tuesday, suggest
ed that the submarine which may
have torpedoed the Arabic possibly
had foundered or had been sunk by
the British. A high admiralty official,
again declaring that no news on the
sinking Of the Arabic was available,
said: Would it not be lamentable If
the submarine should have been lost
and we should never learn what hap
pened? Soon after the Arabic sank L
said we should in all probability have
the details by the end of August or
early in September at the latest.
Most of our boats which were on the
west coast of England at he time
have returned, but not n so far
knows anything about h Arabic.
1t probably will be possible within a
very short time-I cannot say precise
ly how many days-to tell whether our
apprehensions regarding the submarine
are correct" The official would not
say whether one or more of the sub
marines in question still were out, nor
how long any one vessel had been
away from its base, but said sug-
gestively: They seldom remain out
longer than three weeks and we usu-
ally get a report on any torpedolnS
operations in from eight to fourteen
days. rarely later than a fortnight af-
ter the occurrences"
- General Pascual OroZco, who has
been a prominent military leader dur-
ing the past five years, was killed in
the mountains of Culberson county,
Texas, last Tuesday in a fight between
Mexicaps and an American posse con-
sisting Of civilians, United States GUS
toms authorities and members of the
Thirteenth United States cavalry. The
Mexicans, led by Orozco, appeared at
Loves ranch, near Siena Banca, on
Monday and forced the cook to supply
them with dinner. Love and two cow
boys came up while the raiders were
eating. The raiders ran. Love and
the cowboys collected a posse and
there commenced a running fight
which lasted until Tuesday afternoon,
when Oroyco was killed. There were
four bullets in his body. Orozco be-
came prominent under Madero: but
fell put with Madero on account of the
latter's refusal to pay large sums of
money hat OroZco claimed to be due
him as per previous agreement. Next
Orozco Joined Huerta and when Huer-
ia left the country, Orozco continued
to operate independently. For quite
a while Orozco has been operating on
both sides of the line and not long G
he was arrested in the United States
and put under a $1,000 bond. He was
subsequently arrested again and eS-
capped. During some months past he
has been raiding on both sides of the
border very much as he pleased.
- Strained relations between the
United States and Germany owe the
submarine warfare apparently passed
into history last Wednesday,, when
Count BernstOrff, the German ambas-
sador, informed Secretary Lansing in
writing that prior to the sinking of
the Arabic his government had decid-
ed it's submarines should sink no more
liners without warning. Oral aSsur-
anceS to that effect had been given by
the ambassador last week; but it was
not until Count Bernstorff, after a call
at the state department Wednesday,
returned to the embassy and sent a
letter to Mr.. Lansing, quoting instruc-
tions from Berlin concerning an
answer to be made to h last Ameri-
can note on the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, that officials frankly admitted
their qualification over the changed
position or the Imperial German gov
eminent. Secretary Lansing said in a
formal statement that the letter "ap-
pears to be a recognition of the funda-
mental principle for which we have
contended." He Immediately sent the
communication to the White House
and discussed it in cheerful vein with
his callers, who included Chief Justice
White, Secretary McAdoo and Senator
Tillman of South Carolina. Every
where in administration circles there
was a visible relaxation of the tension
which had existed ever since the Lusi-
tania tragedy. though lessened by the
earlier assurance of Count Bernstorff
and advices from Ambassador Gerard
as to the attitude of officials in Berlin.
The next step it is stated authorita-
lively. will be a formal communica-
ton from the German government.
