dulged in the matter, her support is unavoidably more expensive from year to year. It was acute realization of this that had prompted Millicent to adventure citywards, armed with her diploma from the Tingleville Commer- cial college, proving her to be fully trained stenographer.
 Millicent had found no positions open, however. Nobody seemed in need of a stenographer without past experience or even a typist. Some business men, she found, wanted q girl in their offices, but they expressed themselves as being more personally interested in Millicent's good locks than in her Tingleville certificate. So Millie wisely looked elsewhere. Wise ly maybe, but fruitlessly. Then one evening in her bare hall room this second week she came across the two line lad" of the National Film Manu- facturing company, which, it seemed, was lukewarmly interested in secur- ing girl flor filing" A princely stipend of six dollars per week was the practical inducement offered.
 Six dollars loomed gigantic to our Millicent just then and, although the thought of being only an office girl was humiliating, it was considerably better than nothing. She determined to be first of the hundred-odd .appli- cants at the studio on the morrow, and so, indeed, she was.
 On the way out next morning Miss Millie occupied herself with a perusal of the newspaper and therein read a long account of the stupendous pro auction which the National Film Man 'ufacturing company was about to re- lease. The names of fascinating Au- trey Arlington, darling of the movie

The railroad company is to con-

iron work is ready for delivery and
erection at any time now. The old
crossings will remain open until the
bridge is finished and the highways

REASONABLE DOUBT.
AS TO CONDITIONS
Secretary and President
Wilson Hold Conference
on Subject.

w AsHrNGToN Aug. 21.-Rea-
w sonable doubt as to conditions
surrounding the sinking Of the White
Star liner Arabic has determined the
Washington government to proceed
with deliberaton in its purpose to fix
responsibility for the loss of at least
two American lives and the leopard
zins Of e score Of others.
Therefore, Germany will be given
an opportunity to explain this last sea
tragedy and if possible to show
weather the conditions justified the
German submarine commander in
sinking the liner in apparent disre-
gard of the solemn protest Of the
United States government against the
destruction of merchant vessels bear
ing American passengers without
proper warning and opportunity for
suCcor.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred today on the Ara
bic situation with the text of the two
messages from Ambassador Page at
London, before them, giving details
of the destruction of the ship as far
as they have been gathered from the
American survivors. The ambassador
and consular officials in England
have been instructed to supplement
their reports with all available infor-
nation.
Gerard Instructed.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin will
be instructed to look to the German
government for an explanation of the
sinking of the Arabic or at least for
a statement Of the facts so far as they
have been reported to the admiralty
by the submarine commander, That
this might take fortnight is realized
from the fact that the German ad-
miralty has heretofore declared that
it could communicate with subma-
rines on the ocean lane only with diff
ficulty and often it was necessary to
await their return to home ports.
1t is recalled that so far the state
department has been unable to secure
reports from the German foreign Of
flee III the case Of the Orduna, shelled
more than a fortnight ago, and the
same delay has been experienced in
the Ieelanaw and Nebraskan cases.
Notwithstanding the possibility OF
delay it has been decided that in a
matter of such gravity and import
anCC, the amenities Of diplomatic in
tercourse as well as the sense of
Justice require that the German gov
errment be given full opportunity to
present its side Of the case before the
action to he taken by the United
States is determined upon.
Some officials thought there were
Inconsistencies in the statements of
some of the survivors as to what act
ually took place.
