GERMAN DISAVOWAL
IS OUTLOOK TODAY
Hope of Settlement of Arabic
Controversy Raised Today
by Dispatches from Berlin.
ATTENTION AS TO ENGLAND
Protest on British Interference
to Shipping Will Not be Sent
for Another Fortnight.
sDeotal By United rress Wps.

Washington, Sept. 18:-Hope of
settlement of the Arabic controversy
was raised today by the tenor of
dispatches from Berlin. Those close
to the President were beginning to
look confidently for the German dis
avowal in the Arabic case. Unoffi-
cial reports were construed as prom
ising early conclusion of these nego-
tiations. Attention was commencing
to center on the British prize court
decision conflscating American meat
cargoes and on the Anglo-French
loan negotiations.
The White House was receiving
many letters denouncing the prize
courts ruling and demanding a
sharp American protest but no such
request had been received from the
American shippers.
1t is believed the latter will ap-
peal to Great Britain's privy coun-
Gil. Though the American note con-
cerning the British interference with
this country's commerce is almost
ready, it will not go forward, it was
learned positively today, for another
fortnight.
The President wants to clear up
the Arabic case first. In the absence
of protest thus far from Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff against the proposed
credit loan to the allies, it was be-
lieved the administration will not
intervene Secretary McAdoo will be
consulted before the transaction is
closed and the administration views
probably will be made known to
financiers in private conference. The
state department has been advised
that Ambassador Dumba will soon
leave the country.
1t is said to be the most forceful
note addressed to Great Britain since
her blockade stopped all shipping di-
rectly to enemy countries and held up
practically all cargoes against which
there rested the slightest suspicion Of
being ultimately destined for Germany
or Austria
The note insists on the rights of
American shipping in noncontra band
goods and calls upon Great Britain for
prompt measures to remedy the in
justices that have been worked since
the orders In council went into effect.
The protest against the contraband
on cotton occupies an important posi-
ton In the note. 1t was the decision
to declare cotton contraband which
made necessary several weeks ago the
redrafting of the note which then was
virtually in final form to go forward to
Great Britain.
There Is no mention in the note of
the 15,O00,000 meat cargo seizures by
Great Britain, but Secretary Lansing
asked for a transcript of the evidence
supporting the British prize courts
confiscation of the American goods and
this subject may be included later.
No announcement has been made at
the state department as to the date
on which the note on trade restrictions
will 60 forward TO Great Britain. but
the administration Is supposed to be
waiting until the German controversy
is ont of the way.

JOHN D'S ACTION
PIE Asses PASTOR
Oil King First Confided With
Dr.. w. w. BuStard, of His
Refusal to Lend Any Money
TO AID THE WAR IN EUROPE
Interview Gained by the United
Press Greatly PIeaSes Rock
efeI|er's Spiritual Advisor.
TO AID THE WAR IN EUROPE

Special By United Press Wire.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 18:-John D.
Rockefeller, Sr., at first confided his
determination not to be a party to
lending money to aid the warning
powers in Europe to his spiritual
advisor. This was learned today
when Dr. w. w. Bustard, of the
Euclid Avenue Baptist church,
and the oil kings pastor, expressed
the greatest pleasure that Rockefel-
Ter should have made public an
nouncement of his determination, in
an interview with the United Press
yesterday.
Il am glad" said Rev. Bustard,
that Mr. Rockefeller has stated
loan, which he intimated to me, and
which | regarded as confidential.
1t was at the funeral of W. G.
Rudd, the Cleveland business man,
Rockefeller's brother-in-law, that the
oil king discussed the prospects of
war loans with DR.. Bustard. This
was last Friday.
The afternoon of Mr.. Rudd's fu-
neral,' said DR.. Bustard today, 81
drove with Mr.. Rockefeller from the
church to the cemetery. On the way
the subject of the war entered into
our conversation. Mr.. Rockefeller
talked with me about refusing re-
quests from the representatives of
foreign governments for munitions
and other things. In an indirect
way he as much as told me he had
refused war loans"
The interview given by Rockefel-
ler to the United Press, in which he
made public his refusals to make war
loans to England and Russia and the
fact that the allies commission now
in New York to negotiate a huge war
loan would not call on him because
they knew it would be useless, great
ly pleased Rockefeller's pastor.
H. F. Bigger, Sr., for over forty
years Rockefeller's personal physi-
clan and confidente, was delighted
today over Rockefeller's public an
nouncement, made through the Unit
ed Press, that he will not help the
allies obtain billion dollar war loan
from United States financiers Dr.
Bigger was present when the oil
king told the United Press on the
golf links of his Forest Hills estate
here that he already refused loans to
England and Russia.

BE SURE AND COME
The "Grand Old Woman. !"

The "Grand Old.Woman of Oregon"
was the proud and affectionate title
given to Mrs. Abigail Duniway. who
died this week in her Portland home.
Mrs. Duniway was pioneer OF the
Pacific Coast, and the early standard
bearer of the Woman's Suffrage move
ment. Alone she braved the tradi-
tions regarding "woman's sphere. !"
She was largely instrumental in ach-
ieving the ballot for women in Idaho
and lived to see the entire Pacific
Coast republic and justice for wom-
en- an accomplished fact in nearly one
half the area of the United States.
That the Golden West has gone for
ward ahead of the East and the South,
is due largely to the splendid type of
woman Of whom Mrs Duniway was
one of the foremost in character and
intelligence.

STATEMENT FROM
MRS. CARMACk

The Banner, for some time past, has
been using the name of Mrs. E. W..
Carmack for political purposes, declar-
ing that Senator Lea had done her In
iury in the matter of her application
for the postmastership at Columbia,
and seeking to create the impression
that it would accord with Mrs. Car
mack's wishes if Senator Lea could be
defeated.
Mrs, Carmack has made state
ment, which she addressed to the Ban
ner, and which is as follows:
"Nothing but deep sense OF duty
and Justice could influence me 10 make
this statement. but cannot remain 81 :
lent when my silence works an IN

impression has gone ont that none OF
the Carmack name is friendly 10 Seh

preston. My son and ! would DC on,
grateful indeed If we could ever cease
TO remember and appreciate all tnat
Senator Lea has done for us ana TOT
