FRESH ASSURANCES
GIVEN BY GERMANY
New Message on Arabic Believed to
Have Admitted Subsea Chief
in Error.
ARBITRATION QUESTION IS UP

NEW YORK, Oct, 3.---Danger OF
: an immediate break between the
United States and Germany over the
.torpedoing of the Arabic. with the
loss of two American lives, has been
{ averted by the assurances contained
in note received personally here to-
day by Secretary Lansing from Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor.
Neither the secretary of state nor
the German ambassador would make
any statement.
The ambassador was with Secre-
tary Lansing only few minutes,
during which the latter did not ex-
press any view on the note, assuring
Count Won Bernstorff he would notify
him of the time for the next confer
ence after he had studied the COM
munication carefully.
what Inference IL.
There was nothing TO indicate that the
new German note met entirely the view
point OF the United States. but inasmuch
as the American government made 1t
clear to Count Won Bernstorff informally,
that disavowal that the sinking of the
Arabic was absolutely necessary before
there could be any further negotiation
or arbitration OF the amount OF indem-
nifty, the general inference was that the
Berlin foreign office had taken the view
that the German submarine commander
must have erred in assuming that the
Arabic was Intentionally hostile when.

Question of Arbitration.
The prevalent view tonight was that
Germany had admitted the error OF its

arbitrate the extent to which Germany
was liable under the circumstances for

peared very much pleased with the con-
tents Of the new note. which probably
will be published i'm a day or two. He
announced that he expected TO return to

the end OF the present month.
Although II had been reported that Sec

The tabernacle was packed and
jammed and crammed with a crowd
of men estimated at $4,000 by
shortly after l o'clock, though the
meeting wasn't scheduled to start
until 2. Thousands were unable to
get in. The afternoon audience be-
gan singing as the morning audi.
ence came out.
As it was impossible for more to
get in, BILLY" didn't keep them wait
ing, but started on his ninety-minute
sermon at 1880.
The sermon bristled with facts and
figures that fairly stagger and appalI
the hearer as he is brought to realize
what could be done with the money
spent annually in thiA country for liquor.
One of the most striking statements of
the evangelist was that this money would
suffice ina single year to build, not
merely one macadam highway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast, but 100
such highways, each sixteen feet wide.
Applause swept the audience repeatedly
as the sermon progressed, with every
sentence a battering ram against the
liquor traffic Often the audience was
reused to more than mere applause, and
cheer after cheer swept from one end Of
the tabernacle to the other and back
again.

frequent use of 1t during the rest of the

over his shoulder and, followed by an
imaginary hand of reformed drunkards,
he marched off to an imaginary grocery
store, butcher shop and dry goods store
His march in that direction continued
from the platform along the press desks
and back again. With the astonished
.radesmen the reformed drunkard had
imaginary conversations, the tradesmer
being astorn6ef 'rrrkard had

STATE MUST SHOW CAUSE
BECKER CASE GETS HEARING
IN ONE COURT.
New York Supreme Justice Philbin's
Action May Bring Stay Of
Execution.

New York, N. Y.-Supreme Court
Justice Philbin issued an order for
the state to show cause why a new
trial should not be granted Charles
Becker, former police lieutenant, SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair
July 2S for conspiracy in the murder
of gambler Herman Rosenthal.
This order was issued following the
filing of affidavits by Becker's attor-
neys, alleging the discovery of new
and important evidence tending to es-
tablish Becker's innocence. These af-
fidavits contained statements from
East Side gamblers who are said to
have contributed to a fund of $4,000
to induce Rosenthal to leave New
York. The offer was rejected by Ro'
seminal and few hours later he was
shot to death
The State is expected to act imme-
diately upon the courts order as only
three court days now intervene before
the date set for Becker's electrocu-
ton. Unless the State appears and
shows cause before that time the
courts order probably would auto
matically act as a stay Of execution.

Charged With Plotting Against Sui
tan, orders are Issued to Kill
All in District.

Petrograd, Russia. - The Novoe
Vremya publishes what purports to
be details of massacre by the Turks
of Armenians, which exceeds in num-
Der any record in history.
In one section of the article 1t is
said that the Turks after massacring
wholesale the population OF Bitlis,
collected 5000 women and children
from the surrounding villages and
drove them to the banks of the Tigris,
where they shot every one of them.
They then killed another thousand
which had escaped the first slaugh-
ter.
Four battalions, it is said, have
been sent to the Mush Valley with
orders to destroy every one of the 12,-
900 Armenians in that district. The
slaughter already has begun, 1t is
said.
All the Armenians in the Diarber
region, the report says, have been
killed.
The reported cause of this massacre
or series Of them, was the charge
that Armenians were plotting a pro
Russian revolution.
