WANTS D|SAVOWAl
SINKING OF ARABIC
SITUATION rs GRAVE; INDEM-
NIFTY QUESTION NOT MADE
AN ISSUE.
Secretary Lansing and Won eernstorf'
Discuss Situation; Ambassador
Has Communicated Wilson's
Demand to Berlin.

Washington.--The American govern
ment is not yet willing to discuss with
Germany the question of arbitration
In connection with the sinking of the
Arabic. 1t was stated Tuesday by
high government official that the
question Of arbitration is not in issue"
1t was explained authoritatively
that what the American government
first wants is a disavowal of the at
tack on the Arabic. Afterward it
was indicated the American govern
ment may be willing to arbitrate the
question of indemnity.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has communicated the
view of the American government to
Berlin and it is expected that he will
receive reply within the next week
or ten days. The United States is
disposed to give him full opportunity
to impress on the Berlin government
| the view Of President Wilson as dis
closed to him yesterday by Secretary
Lansing.
While officials realize that the situa.
ton Is grave. they are hopeful that
when Berlin learns of the facts In
possession of the state department
the act will be disavowed. The de-
partment has given Count Won Bern
storff full opportunity to communicate
with his government and Secretary
Lansing has promised him to afford
every facility for representing the
American view.
1t was said that the ambassador
and the secretary discussed entirely
the question of disavowal
1t was learned that the ambassador
had the opportunity at the state de-
partment to carefully examine a mass
of evidence gathered by the United
States giving in technical detail the
position of the Arabic, the British
steamer Dunsley and the German sub
marine up to and including the time
the torpedoes were fred which de-
stroyed both vessels.
The proof offered is understood to
be chiefly that the German submarine
was at right angles to the Arabic when
firing the torpedo and that the liner
could not see the submarine because
up to the moment of firing, it was con
cealed behind the Dunsley. These facts
now have been transmitted through
diplomatic channels to the German
foreign office and officials are waiting
to learn what effect study Of this
evidence in Berlin will have on the
point of view of the German govern

This fire, starting from the straw

State peace officers searching
American houses in the vicinity Of
the ranch seized two wagon loads Of
arms after the battle, but there was
nothing to connect any Americans d.

the arms seized they found many old

of Mexicans. These were destroyed.
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, at Matamo-
ros, Mex, in response for the arrest
Of Luis de la Rosa and Aniceto Pr

alleged to be signers OF the most re.

RUSSIANS TURN ON

GERMANS MAKING NO PROGRESS

British Military Writers Believe Aus
tro-Germans Have Reached limi-

Austrian forces that have been en-.
gagged with the Russians along the
Zeith river, south of Tarnopol, in east

stated in the official announcement of
the Austrian war office.
A London dispatch says that the
western front, with continuous artil.
lery engagements, occasional infantry
attacks and the probability that i'm
portant events now impending will
soon begin, attracts almost as much
attention as the eastern battlefelds,
where the Russians and Austro-Ger.

of railway lines. the possession of

For some time yet, however. the.
east is likely to be the scene of the
more sensational actions. The Rus.

an equally stubborn defensive in the.
center, where the Austro-G Germans, al
though gaining ground daily and com.

LIVING LONG AND WELL.

Most people desire long life. The
man with reasonable religious faith in
his heart is more likely to take prop
er care of his body. He has fewer
worries. Though mot slothful in
business" he is not consumed by his
anxiety about results, when he has
done his best If his religion is real
he has cheerful disposition and ad-
versity does not make him utterly de-
pressed. Holding oneself in check,
keeping rein on ones impulses, tends
to strength of body as well as strength
of mind. Seneca's saying that HE
Is most powerful who has himself in
his power applies to the body as well
as the mind. Some persons say: II
am SO impulsive that the first thing
know fly into passion" seeming to
take strange kind Of pride in their
weakness. Giving way to violent pas
sion is wearing on nerve power. 1t
wastes strength 1t touches the heart
where the springs of life are and
makes food tasteless and bitter and
holds sleep back from the eyes. We
desire long life, but not decrepitude.
Old age is better insured by steady
practice of self-control than by worry
ing too much about symptoms and
what Is good for ones health. The
life we desire means the ability to en-
Joy life. We shall best seek it through
clear conscience and control of our
selves.
