facts. If the original plan of indis-
criminately sinking all enemy ships
had not been changed, he said, his
government could not have directed
him to take the action. Instead it
would have deeply regretted the loss
of American lives, but would have
pointed out that Americans had been
warned not to travel on enemy ships.

it out to its last extremity.

Council Appropriated Fund
to Obviate Necessity of
Delay, Waiting on State
Chemists.

Dr. S. G.. Smelser, city health Of
fcer, said today that he had about de-
cided not to equip laboratory for his
department.. for which an appropria-
tion of $500 was provided in t he
budget of this Xear
This appropriation was made upon
the request of the health board to OBJ
ratory work done by chemists OF the
state board Of health at Indianapolis.
What is really needed is micro
scope and some other equipment for
the examination of cultures of sus-
pected diphtheria cases and this
equipment can be obtained at small
expense. With this equipment prompt
investigation of suspected diphtheria
cases would be possible and this is
very important. do not believe now,
however, that the establishment of a
complete laboratory is necessary"
Can Seal Wells.
DR.. Smelser said:
IF wells are suspected Of being con.
taminated they can be sealed until a
report is received from the state
chemists on the water samples taken
from such wells. If milk supplied by
any dairy is suspected of being i'm
pure or disease-infected, the service
of this dairy can be stopped until a
report is received from the state au-
thorities. Another thing I have con-
sidered in deciding against the estab-

Wilson, as far as he knows, Secretary
Lansing said. The secretary also de
clared that he had received no infov-
nation concerning orders that Ger
many may have issued to its submar'
inc commanders concerning their
method of attack Asked If he had
received reports that Americans were
fleeing from Germany and Austria
and going to Switzerland, the secre-
tary said he had not. He indicated by
his manner that he did not believe
there was any need of them doing so

From German sources here today, 1t
was learned that Count Won Bernstorff
regards it as certain that Germany
has instructed it's submarine COM

rules of warfare in the future. A note
saying that this had been done is be-
lieved to be on the way to Washing

ROOSEvELT'S SPEECH
MAY CAUSE PROBE BY
SECRETARY GARRISON

WASHINGTON, Au 26-The pro-
priety of Col. Roosevelt's speech at
the military training camp at Platts-
burg, in which he attacked the presi-
dent, may be the subject of an inves-
tigation of Secretary Garrison. Asked
whether he had taken any action, the
secretary stated that he had not yet
gathered all the facts and until he had
done so, he'would make no statement.
The action of Major General Leo
nard Wood, in inviting the former
president to address enlisted men
and officers, it was reported, may be
taken up. At the war department it
was stated, that because President
Wilson is commander-in-chief of the
army and navy, an attack on him be-
fore enlisted men may have serious
results.

GERMANY WILL DISAV0W
DESTRUCTION OF ARABIC
DIPLOMAT TELLS LANSING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-From a
high diplomatic source it was learned
today that Ambassador Won Bern
storff told Secretary of State Lansing
that Germany would disavow the sink
ing Of the Arabic. The ambassador
explained to Secretary Lansing the
nature of the document he has re-
ceived from his government in the
last few days, which is said to show
a distinct change in attitude in carry
ing on its submarine warfare.
Count Won Bernstorff, after leaving
Secretary Lansing, is said to have told
fellow diplomat that he expected the
entire situation to be cleared up sat
isfactorily in two or three days.

Just thirty-five minutes. He left the
secretary's office at II o'clock, re-
turning at once to his office.

Secretary Lansing stated after
Count Won Bernstorff left that there
was nothing he could make public at
this time. He said the German am
bassador would remain in the city
within call, and would not go back to
Cedar Hurst at this time. 1t was
taken to mean here that the German
explanation of the arabic's sinking
was on its way.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Evidence
in support of the statement that the
lives of millions of wage earners are
subject to the dictation of relatively
small number of men, is cited at
length in the third and final section,

commission on industrial relations.
The following allegations are
made as statements of fact based on
the testimony and evidence in the
hands of the commission.
Except, perhaps, for improvements
in safety and sanitation, the labor
