PRESIDENT HADLEY EMPHASIZED
 THE IMPORTANCE or TRUTH.
In His MatricuIation Sermon at Wool
 sey Hall Yesterday.

New Haven. Conn, Oct s.-The i'm portance of truth was emphasized by President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale in his matriculation sermon today. in Woolsey Hall. It was on the basis of truth that the English dominion in India was built up and consolidated, he said. for previouslys truthfulness was quality foreign to Oriental di- plomacy.
 Continuing, he said: aThe keeping of treaties eSE promises is the one thing that enables a nation to hold it's head high among other nations. A nlomentary success may be achieved by a. policy of deceit; enduring en- pire belongings to the people that best know how to keep faith. And what holds true of nations holds true oi individuals. 1t may happen that 2 man of brilliant parts can disregard his promises with. apparent success and build up an empire or fortune accomplishment of this kind is pre-
 carious thing which falls to pieces when the brain that planned 1t begins to lose it's power"
 h pointing out how to avoid un- truthfulness and the influence of sus- picion or emotion, he said the only thing was a rigid course of training of the brain, the emotions and the con- science 'sWe must acquire the habit of looking into evidence" he said 'We must stop buying the newspaper thai tells what we wish was true and buy tho one that tries to tell what is
 really true. We must refuse to repeat lunproven gossip or scandal merely be- cause we like 1t We shall learn .tC hate the unconscious lie as well aa l the intentional one"

London. oct 8, 10 D. m-The Rus aian minister at Sofia has been order ed to sleave the Bulgarian capital, if within 24 hours, Bulgaria does not openlF break with the central powers and dismiss the Austro- German ofa- cers who recently arrived in that country to direct the operations of King Ferdinand'S army.
 The other powers of the quadruple entente are backing up Russia in this demand and so Bulgaria must within a few hours decide upon neutrality or be considered definitely committed to the central powers.
 Believe Bulgaria Has Made Choice.
 From the Hews received during the past few days from the Balkans it is Considered kertain that King F'erd- inaTsd and Premier Radoslavoff have made their choice and are only waiting the completion of mobilization to strike at Serbia and assist the Aus tr0-G Germans to open the road to Con- stantihople which has been anxiously waiting for many weeks for promised aid from the central powers

IGERMANYs ARABIC NOTE
 IS NOT SATISFACTORY
Amhatssador 6ernatorFf Is to Be Aak- ed to Go to Washington for Con ference.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Germany has failed to satisfy the request of the United States that the sinking of the Arabic with loss of American lives be disavcwed and liability for the act assumed by the imperial government. This became known after conference tonight between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing at which the latter submitted a note given him yester- day in New York by Count Won Bern storf, the German ambassador
 No announcement was made after the White House conference. Secre- tary Lansing said merely that it was Einadvisabie to comment on the sitl1a- tion while the negotiations were still confidential He declined to say what the next step would be, but it was learned later the German ambassador would be asked to come to Washing ton soon to receive the view which the American government takes of the last German note. Count Von Bern- storff is fully authorized by his gov ernment to conduct the submarine ne- gotiations.
 While the situation has improved to the extent that there is no danger of an immediate break in diplomatic re- lations as the note affords an oppor- tunity for further negotiation it was stated reliably that final refusal by Germany to meet the American view lpolnt on the Arabic case might bring about the threatened rupture in diplo- mattc relations.
