Berlin viii Dispose of Arabic
Problem.

Washington, Aug. 81. - President
Wilson has decided definitely to re-
main in Washington until the situa-
ton between the United States and
Germany is cleared up. officials have
been urging him to go to Cornish, N.
H., for a rest, but he has announced
that he will stay here pending the

The President, it was said, authori-
tatively, has been led by the state
ments of Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, to Secretary
Lansing, and reports received from
American Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin to hope that a solution for the
submarine controversy with Germany
Will be found. He is waiting, how
ever. for the imperial governments

summer embassy on Long Island. He
still was confident that within a short
time a formal communication would
reach Washington from the Berlin
foreign office, disposing of the situa-
ton growing out of the sinking Of
the Arabic and paving the way for
an amicable adjustment of all issues
between the American and German
governments. The ambassador prob
ably will not return to the capital
until the note from Berlin arrives.

P~etrograd, via London, Aug. 3d.
Weighing the likelihood of a German
advance on P%etrograd, the Reich
points out that the Russian retirement
covers the approaches to the capital
and that it is extremely doubtful
whether the Germans, without undis-
puted possession of the Baltic sea and
particularly of the Gulf of Riga. could
undertake the risks attaching to OPP
Grating against Petrograd this autumn.
Moreover, on the whole front from the
Dvina to the upper Bobr. it is noted,

Berlin, Aug. 27,-The fortress of
Brest Litovsk, Russia's greatest
stronghold, has been taken by the
Germans.
An official announcement from the
war office says:
"The fortress of Brest-Litovsk has
been taken by Germans and Austro-
Hungarian troops.
"They stormed the works on the
western and northwestern front and
entered the center of the fortress.
"The enemy ~thereupon surrendered
the fortress"
The Russians are believed to be re-
treating eastward and northeastward,
their right flank protected by the for
ests to the north and their left flank
covered by the marshes that delayed

FOR SINKING OF

PREPARATION FOR DEATHS
DUE TO LUSITANlA LOSS
Teuton Ambassador informs State De-

Renew Discussion of Incident
Report of U-Roat Captain
Expected.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Germany'S
intention to offer full satisfaction to
the United States for the sinking of
the liner Arabic with a loss of two
American lives has been communicate
ed formally to the state department
by Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador on instructions from the
Berlin foreign Office. H..
The ambassador read to Secretary
Lansing a memorandum outlining the
position of his government. It prom
ised that if it was found that the
Arabic was attacked without warning
the Imperial government not only
would promptly disavow the act, but
would give the United States full
satisfaction" This, it is we'll known,
would have to include reparation for
the Americans lost and assurance
thai sucl tragedies would not be re-
peated.
In a Waiting Attitude.
No further developments in the sit
uation are expected nov until the sub
marine commander who sank the Ara
bic has reported to Berlin. In the
meantime President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing, though visibly encour-
aged and relieved by Count Won Bern
storff's assurances and reports from
Ambassador Gerard on his conferences
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow are
in a waiting attitude.
Before the American government
a speak, there must be forthcoming
the German disavowal and explana-
ton of what all evidence received has
seemed to prove was an "unfriendly
act"
For L~usitania Deaths.
1t became known that the state de-
partment has been informed that Ger
many is ready to enew discussion of
the Lusitania incident and to offer rep
aration for the American lives lost
when that vessel was sent to the bot
tom without warning by a German
submarine. There has been no re-
Spouse to the last American note on
this subject, and it is known that the
United States would not listen to rep
aration proposals with the situation
created by the sinking of the Arabic
still pending. With the attack on the
Arabic disavowed, however, and guar
antees given against repetition, a Ger
man communication explaining that
the Lusitania was torpedoed as a re-
prisal against Great Britain under a
Misrepresentation that she was armed,
and that killing of Americans was re-
GREETED and not intended, and offer
ing reparation, probably would pave
the a for amicably closing the in
cident.
U-Boat Captains Report.
In German quarters, confidence was
felt that the submarines report would
soon reach Berlin.
German officials have made it plain
that their government, as soon as it
has relieved the strain upon it's rela-
tions with the United States by limit
ing submarine activities, will ask the
American government to demand that
Great Britain and her allies cease in
terfering with legitimate neutral COM
merce and thus permit the importa-
ton of foodstuffs for the German civil
population.

U. S. SUBMARINE REFLOATED
TOWED TO QUARANTINE STATION
IN HONOLULU HARBoR
Naval Board to Make Thorough in

aster Last March.

Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 31.-The Unit
ed States submarine F-4, submerged
outside the harbor here since March
rs last, has been relocated and towed
to the quarantine station at Honolulu.
Although the F-4 has been brought
into the harbor, the wreck is still sub
merged to a depth of six feet and prob
ably will not be dry locked for several
days. Nothing has been divulged by
the naval officials regarding conditions
ii known, inside the vessel.
The actual raising operation occu-
pied two hours, the plans of the en-
gineers working without a hitch. The
still submerged derelict was towed
slowly into the harbor, where all the
shipping, including the informed Ger
man gunboat Geier, half masted their
flags.
When the submarine has been dry
locked. a board composed of Rear Ad-
miral Clifford j. Boush, commandant
OF the naval station; Lieutenant Kirby
B. Crittenden, and Naval Constructor
Julius A. Furer, will begin a thorough
investigation for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if possible the cause OF the
disaster.

Albert L. EIDE, and with a crew of 81
men, went to the bottom off the harbor
of Honolulu March %, 1915, during
maneuvers of the "F' squadron. She
was located two days later and Diver

work of bringing her to the surface.
Her crew, it was said, might have

at rescue failed and on March 80 Rear
Admiral C. r. T. Moore, commanding
the Honolulu naval station, reported
that the F-4 lay in 270 feet of water,
and would have to be raised by pom

At the time of the accident, reports
gained circulation that the F-4 was
not in good shape when she went be-

GERMAN SCIENCE
IRV|p|Pn|S0bER
GRER7lBSEAG[B

An industrial bulletin from Germany
says that German science has found
ways and means of replacing the raw
materials now lacking. by materials OF
like value. At present being produced
in Germany. For example, an, econ
omically successful method Of extract
ing nitrogen from the air. whereby the
German powder industry and German
agriculture are supplied with this
otherwise missing rawstuff has been
discovered The importation OF petro-
sleHm having more or less completely
ceased, this supply has also given out
Gas and electricity, for whose manu-
facture only coal, of which Germany
has large quantities. is necessary, have
taken its place as illuminants The
lack of fodder has been In part COM
pensated for by an invention whereby
the food values in straw are made ae-
Icessible for feeding stock. And now
another discovery Is to be recorded
which is not only of great Importance
as assuring the nourishment OF our
cattle, but a-ouses the greatest aston
ishnent as. an act Of scientific bold
ness. The Institute fur Garungsge-
VERDE fInstitnte for yeast industries)
in Berlin has discovered process for
making food yeast with over 80 per
cent albumen in the simplest manner
from sugar. and ammonium sulphate
These quantities of albumen win east
~ replace the supplies of fodder bar
ley that were formerly imported. Since
ammonia is not only byproduct in
the manufacture of coke but can also
be obtained directly from the air. this
method has been correctly described
as the extraction of albumen from the
air.
These inventions, which will doubt
less be followed by others in the
course of the war, will have above all
an effect on the financial world Ger
many's enemies are compelled to draw
a large part of their supplies Of am
munition and arms as well as provi-
sions from abroad. Since at the same
time the purchasing power and pros.
perity of large transmaritime terri
tories have been seriously damaged
by the European war, the enemies Of
Germany are drawing smaller incomes
from their foreign investments, while
the exports to these countries hrva
diminished during the same period.
The excess of imports over exports al
the foreign trade OF Germany's enemies
has. therefore, in the course of this
war been enormously increased. The
result of this is that the payment Of
the very considerable sums to foreign
countries which they have to make
for these increased imports, is made
on the basis Of an exchange very nm
favorable for Germany's enemies. The
argument that the exchange rate is
unfayorable to Germany bears little
weight here. For in consequence OF
the interruption of German, foreign
trade, Germany has in comparison
with times Of peace small payments
to make to foreign countries. The
anemies Of Germany. however, are com
PEELED to pay in cash not only the con-
tract sums but also the deficit caused
BY the unfavorable rate Of exchange
