425,OOO HORSES AND
MULES IN WAR ZONE

Washington, Sept. 3.-To date 425,-
900 horses and mules have been ship
ped out of the United States for the
European belligerents. Buying of the
animals has been big boon to the
market for medium class horses, de-
partment of agriculture officials said.
Government experts have been
watching the records closely and they
find that few high bred horses have
been exported, with the result that
prices for ordinary equines have in
creased.
Most of the horses have gone to
England. but many shipments have
been made to France and some to
Italy. The supply is not being seri-
ously depleted. government officials
estimating that there are today ap-
proximately 21,000.000 horses and A.
100000 mules in this country.

BIG DIPLOMATIC VICTORY
London Papers Give Credit to Presi
dent Wilson.

London, Sept 3.-Political circles
here think Germany's yielding to the
United States will have little, If any,
effect upon the negotiations between
Great Britain and America for a mod
ification of the British order in coun-
Gil
But it was said unofficially that if
England makes concessions to the
United States these concessions will
be made because the government rec
ognizes the merits of Americas argu-
ments and not because Germany has
promised certain changes in her sub
marine policy.
The English view, expressed by Lon
don papers, was that President VIII
son has scored an important diplo
matte victory.

bic Settled Germany's Reply to the
Last American Note on the Lusi-
tania Incident viii Be Forthcoming.
Washington, Sept 3.-With oral
and written assurances from the Ger
man government, transmitted through
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, to the state department re-
garding Germanys submarine policy.
officials of the Washington govern
ment looked hopefully forward for an
ultimate and satisfactory settlement
of the whole submarine problem.
Count Won Bernstorff's letter con
tanned the information that the new
policy of Germany was decided upon
before the steamer Arabic was sunk.
officials here are gratified with the
German announcement, as 1t is be-
lieved to end the crisis in the rela-
tions between the two governments.
Germany's next communication, II
is said authoritatively, will be for
NAL disavowal of the sinking of the
Arabic.
With the situation growing out OF
the Arabic incident out of the way
Germany's reply to the last American
note on the Lusitania will be forth
coming. II that is satisfactory to the
United States ii is believed that the
Washington government will then turn
its attention to the problem of neutral
commerce.
A note to Great Britain already is
in course of preparation. The two
issues, however, are being kept en-
tirely distinct, President Wilson hav
ing consistently refused to allow the
question along with the submarine
problem.
