isfactorily as 20 enable TIE creditors to
receive twenty shillings in the pound
Lord Derby explained that he had &C
cepted the position because of personal
loyalty to and friendship for Lord
Kitchener. While an advocate Of ma
tional service. he would DO his level
best to make the voluntary system a
success. But if it should be demon
strated that all the men needed could
rot be obtained he would resign I'M
less other methods were employed.
Much. Lord Derby declared, depended
on how the trade union congress re-
deemed its pledge TO conduct a vigor
Gus campaign in behalf of recruiting
under the voluntary system.

PRAISE FOR BERNSTORFF
Press CT New York See Much in Clos
ing of Arabic Incident.

Count Won Bernstorf. in the opinion
of The Sun" this morning, has placed
the American people under great obi
CATION TO him for his part in the Arabic
discussion.
".ot often in the history of the
world have so few words as are con-
tanned in the brief German note
wrought so momentous change in an
international situation surcharged with
the gravest possibilities" says THE
Sun" at will now require the extreme
Of ingenuity to discover any lack Of
responsiveness in this final reply to the
reiterated demand OF the American gov
eminent and the extreme Of malice to
question the absolute cGndor of the
German note.
Next TO the friendly frmness of
President Wilson's attitude from be-
ginning TO end, the most potent inhu
ence making for continued peace and
friendship between the United States
and Germany has been the untiring
diligence of the German Ambassador.
II is just that the American people. as
well as his own compatriots, should
recognize their great obligation to
Johann Heinrich Won Bernstorf."
The World" sees more than a dip
lomatic victory for the President in the
disayowal of the act of the submarine
commander:
1T is sign and promise that the
German government is restored TO san
ity." says THE World" "lf that be
the fact, there will be no further seri-
Gus complications between the United
States and Germany, and all the differ
ences that now exist can be settled
honorably and peacefully"
obviously. therefore" says "The
Tines" mot only the Arabic case is
safely settled. but our whole case
against Germany's submarine warfare
is therein conceded. We wonder all
tn, more why the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania remains unllsavowod."

TIE 4neican Rercy Of October

In the glad revels. in the happy fetes,
When checks flushed, and glasses Gilt and pearle

Drink sometimes you whose footsteps yet may tread
The undlsturbed. delightful paths Of Earth,
To those whose blood, in pious duty she'd
Hal.ows the soil where that wine had birth.
Here, by devoted comrades laid away,
Along lines they sumber where they fell,
Beside the crater az the Ferme d'AlCer
And up the bloody slopes OF Ia Pom pelle,
And round the city whose cathedral towers
The enemies OF Beauty dared profane,
And IN the mat of muliicolored flowers
That clothe the sunny chak-felds Of Champagne.
Under the little where they rise
The soldier rests. Now round him undsmayed
The cannon thunders, and at night he lies
A, peace beneath the eternal fusiiiade.
That other generations might possess
From shame and menace free in years 10 come
A richer heritage Of happiness,
He marched TO that heroic martyrdom
Esteeming less The forfeit that he paid
Than undiscovered that his flag might feat

HIS breast the bulwGrk and his blood the moat
Obscurely sacrificed. his nsmeless tomb.

SAYS BERNSTORFF
Believes That Arabic Terms VIII

ard GERMANY.
ard Germany.

Count Won Bernstorf. the German
Ambassador, arrived from Washington
at o'clock last night, smiling and
cheerful. Asked at the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel to comment on Germany's latest
and most satisfactory Arabic note, the
ambassador replied;
"My letter to Secretary Lansing
which was made public by him explains
everything which can say at this time.
IL Will be necessary for me to have
conferences at the State Department
in the future before every point in this
matter is thoroughly cleared. But It
is reasonable TO assume that a solid
foundation for the best or friendly re-
lations between this country aad Ge--
many has been laid"
Count Won Bernstorff denied that ne
had discussed Captain Franz Won Pap
ems "idiotic Yankee" case with Secro-
tary Lansing or with any other govern
ment official. He said he did not know
of any action which has been or might
be taken in the matter
The news that Germany had officially
disayowed the sinking of the Arabic
and had agreed 10 pay indemnities for
the loss of American lives and property
was generally received with gratifca-
tion by representative local Germans.
Now that Germany has conceded to
practically every contention which the
American government has made. she
has, by doing so, forced the hand of the
American government relative to the
obnoxious British Order in Council. "
declared William j. Hclfering. presi-
dent Of the Cermania Turner Bund.
Professor Frederick Oechsner. of the
University OF Berlin, was equally opti-
mistic.
81 have always contended that il
would never come 10 an open break be-
tween this country and Germany" he
said. "The German governments dis
avowal Of the torpedoing Of the Arabic
IS the best proof that my contention is
correct In my opinion, the German
Foreign Office has staked the displeas-
ure Of German public opinion against
the winning of American public ap-
proval. II was wise thing TO do, be-
cause Germany cannot afford TO lose
the friendship and the good will Of the
American people.
"ln my opinion Count Won Bernstorff
deserves great credit for his successful
handling Of so difficult a diplomatic
negotiation. 1t was a great diplomatic
achievement"
