ican rights as neutrals. It is stated on good authority that no reply is expected for several days and the re- port from London that Berlin advices are to the effect that Germany will ask to have the Lusitania sinking submitted to arbitration has caused much talk in this city.
 Expect Wilson Would Arbitrate.
 It is believed by diplomats and high government officials that Presi- dent Wilson would willingly welcome the offer to arbitrate the trouble be- tween the two nations as a means of settling the difficulty. It is point. ed out that the president is anx- ious for peace and also that he holds that the United States is correct in demanding protection to neutrals and non-combatants in the war zone and would willingly submit the Amer ican case to any international court feeling confident that the United States is demanding only it's just rights under international law and the relations of one friendly power to another.
 Would Insist On Prompt Settlement.
 It is pointed out, however, that Pres ident Wilson is anxious to have the dispute settled quickly and would in- sist upon an immediate settlement of the trouble or the promise from Ger many that no more merchant ships of belligerent powers will be sunk un- til the non-combatants are allowed an opportunity to leave the ship and al- so that no American ships whatso. ever are to be submarined and that the rules of warfare governing the detention of neutral owned ships and their condemnation in a prize court shall be in, force.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-It is re, ported that Dr. Bernard Dernburg, former member of the German cabi- net and for many years resident of the United States, who has been try ing to secure for Germany the mor- al support of the people of the Unit ed States, will leave fox Europe in a few days as President Wilson's dis pleasure at any defense of the sink ing of the Lusitania places him in a position where he is unable to ac- complish any good for the Germanic cause.
 The administration has clearly in dicatsd it's displeasure at the appear ance in any of the papers, especially in the foreign press, the justification of the sinking of the big liner Lu stania and the loss of 1,20o non combatants.
 Dr. Dernburg has been called the unofficial mouthpiece of the kaiser and he has talked to many Ameri' ican audiences in the east explain ing the reasons for the present war and insisting that Germany was fore ed into the world conflict in order to protect itself from the aggression of, jealous nations and land gyabbers.

LONDON, May 15.-The report reaches here from Berlin to the eff. feet that the German foreign office will offer to submit the differences between the German nation and the people of the United States brought about through the sinking of the Lu- sitania to arbitration.
 The report is said to be official and indicates that the German foreign of fee will not allow the present trouble with America to result in adding to the number of nations fighting Ger many and Austria.
 The note sent by President Will son to the German foreign office not only demanded an explanation for the sinking of the Lusitania in viola tion of the rules of warfare which would have allowed for non-combat- ants to leave the ship in the small boats before the vessel was sent to the bottom. but the sinking of the American ship Gulflight which was sent to the bottom by German sub- marine and the captain and three of the crew. all Americans. sent to the bottom.
 The submitting of the Lusitania trouble to arbitration will not clear up the troubles unless the other mat ters in dispute are also submitted to arbitration and settled.

EVERYBODY IS AFTER REOS

Pleas for More Cars.
FACTORY IS WORKING NIGHTS

When a dealer says please and other
nice things to the sales manager of an

conclusion TO be drawn. and that is that
that dealer wants cars and wants them
mighty badly" said. iaughingiy Robert
Rueschaw as he showed telegram just
received from the Minneapolis distribu-
ter Of REQ cars.
Please, dear Mr. Sales Manager.
won't you ship Minneapolis six extra
carloads Of Reos, any model Reos, just
as long as they are Reos, and soon.

That's a sample OF 125. average, tele-
grams receive every day-only they are
not all so sweetly worded as that one.
They run the gsmut sn the way from
swear words to pet phrases-mostly swear
word or other language that might as
well be, since their meaning is clear.
Factory is running to capacity and
beyond for we have had an extra night
shift on for several weeks. So each
dealer is getting his full quota, accord
ing TO his original allotment. But the
cry is for more-just a few extra car
loads. And they never are satisfied
why Minneapolis got n trainload onlr
last week.
Gratifying, But TryinR.
1T is most gratifying and at the same
time most trying to the poor sales man
ager. 1t taxes his ingenuity and his in
tegrity to the limit to keep all dealers
satisfied and to keep them feeling that
each is getting just the same treatment
as all others. Some of them won't be-
lieve that and so quite a percentage of
the kilograms are accusations of partial
ity, while others are i'm the nature OF
brides to sentiment.

though. and we hope to catch up soon.

tory doors that Il broke through in two
places last week. That material is 60
ing through the machines Just as fast as
possible, considering always quality.
More machinery has been installed, more
men put to work and we are doing our
level best to make enough Reos to go
round

lieve will try to squeeze out three ex-
ira carloads for him That will ease
