KANSAS COMPANY COLON|ZING BIG
 TRACT OF LAND
Trentnan Organization to Establish Offices Heral
 > Within Ten Days.

Offices will be opened in Pine Bluff within the next week or ten days, by the Trentman Land company, whose headquarters are at Wichita, Kansas, and which owns a large tract of land in this vicinity. which is to be placed OF the market through the coloniza- ton method.
 A letter to The Graphic yesterday from John I. Trentman of the com pany. stated, among other things, We are preparing to locate our office in your city," and the letter further shows that arrangements to this end are already under way.
 The coming of the land company's $ office to this city brings to a close negotiations which have been under way for several months, through the chamber of commerce and E.. B. Bloom, secretary of that organiza- ton. The purchase of the lands now owned by the company, was complet- cd only after MT. Trentn2an and MT. Bretch of the company had personal iv inspected the property, but had also visited other sections, the Pne Bluff vicinity being finally selected because of the many advantages it possesses.
 The Trentman Land company is an old esta blished company in the col onization business, and has pulled off some very big deals. It is believed this is the first time the company has been interested in lands in this section, and this in itself is taken as a most favorable indication, espc- cially as showing that land men gen. orally are looking in this direction, in their colonization plans.

What cid tie Kaiser say That, what official Washington would like to know.
 Albert J. Beveridge, schooled in statecraft, through years O member ship on the Foreign Relations Con- nittee of the United States Senate, talked with Emperor Wilhelm II. for two hours. But not single word of what was said is known. American state department officials would like to know what the Kaiser said. He must have said much that might guide Secretary Lansing.
 The Indiana statesman, confidant If American diplomats and presi- dents, interviewed other leaders in the great conflict whose word has often meant war, or peace. These important interviews he has just published in book he calls "What Is Back of the War" (Bobbs- Merrill, Indianapolis.) The book. now in the American state department archives, is, in the opinion of men in Washing ton whose names it would not do to use, the most notable "inside-infor- nation" document issued since the war began.
 The former Senator interviewed not only powerful German states men, but their war leaders. Von Til pitz, the man responsible for the submarine warfare that sent the

 But the feature of the book at- tracting attention in Washington is the intimate inside views ana thoughts of the men who are making the war-even the men who would make war on us, if the United States should become entangled. Senator Beveridge has recorded faithfully all that was said to him by these men. He declares that we do not appreci- ate the economic revolution going on in the countries at war; He describes this in his book
 But on what t.:a Kaiser said in his two-hour talk he is strangely silent

Washington, Dec. 11.-While there
We're no developments today to ale
viate the grave diplomatic situation
between the United States and Aus
tria, information that the American
note on the sinking of the Ancona had
reached the Vienna foreign office yes
terday led to the, belief that definite
solution, one way or the other, with
out more delay, may be quickly ex-
pected.
A copy of the note was given Baron
Zwiedinsk, the Austrian charge, when
he called at the state department to-
day to discuss letter he had written
to the Austrian consul general in
New York suggesting that passports
be purchased for the Austrian re-
servists in the United States. He ex-
planned the letter was written when
DR.. Constantin Dumba was in charge
of the Austrian embassy.
1t is apparent tonight that officials
who read the note are of the opinion
that there is danger of relations
being broken off unless Vienna COM
plies Immediately with the American

French Cruiser
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. 1.-The steam
ship San Juan, of the New York and
Porto Rise line was held up and
searched by a French cruiser while
the steamer was bound from New Or
leans to San Juan, Porto Rico, accord
ing to a message received by the line
today. Two second class passengers
were removed. The San Juan flies
the American flag.
The San Juan is the third vessel
of this line to have been held up
within the last five days. the Coamo
and Carolina having been searched
off Porto Rico this week.
The passengers removed from the
San Juan were William Gunthevodt,
and Fritsch Lothar, both said to be
residents Of New Orleans. The San
Juan left New Orleans Saturday and
arrived at San Juan early today.
A message from San Juan to the
local offices did not give the exact
location where the steamer was
searched nor the name of the French
cruiser, but It is believed that the
San Juan was searched late yesterday
and probably by the same cruiser
which held up the Coamo and Caro-
lima.
The message also, failed to state
whether the cruiser fired any shots
at the San Juan, as was done in ths
previous cases.

London, Dec. 1.-The crew of the

marine was reported Thursday, had
two experiences on the same day
with torpedoes. According to an Off

to ifeboats after Goulandris, bound
from Alexandria to England, had
been 'torpedoed when $50 miles west
of Alexandria.
The boats were towed for some dis
tance by the submarine and then cast
adrift. The men were picked up by
an English steamship, which, when
within twenty-five miles Of Alexan-
dria, was torpedoed by the same SUBJ
marine that had sunk the Goulandris.
The crews of both vessels escaped in
small boats and were picked up three
miles from Alexandria by another
British steamshtes reaching port

Washington, Dec. 11.-Secretary
Lansing will Immediately ask Great
Britain and France, through their
embassies here, for safe conduct for
Captains Boyd and Won Papen, re-
spectively naval and military attaches
Of the German embassy here, pursu-
ant to the request of Emperor Will
liam, who personally recalled the Of
fcers. Withdrawal of the attaches
had been requested by the secretary
because Of their alleged activities,
which rendered them persona non
gratta to the American government.
Official announcement of Emperor
Williams action was made by Secre-
tary Lansing after receiving COM
munication from the German foreign
Office through Count Won BernstorH
the German ambassador. The Ger
man ambassador also requested con-
duct for the successors Of Captains
Boyd and Won Papen, who will be
named later. Action on this, how
ever, will await the naming of ths
successors. .
There was some speculation here
today as to whether Great Britain and
France would, IN event the two Ger
man attaches leave this country, de
mand that they 60 under parole
pledging themselves not to partici
pate in the war. In some quarters i
was thought that such demand
might be made. Officials Of the Ger
man embassy, however, are said t.
believe 1t proper to ask for safe con
duct for the attaches without qualifi
cation, because their successors woult
remove two fighting officers from
Germany.
Officials were plainly gratified TO
day over the outcome of situation
which had apparently been fraugh
with serious difficulties. As a resul

Topolobampa, Sinaloa, Mexico, Dec.
11.-Via Radio to San Diego-Yaqui
Indians are on the war path and are
raiding the American settlement in
the Yaqui Valley, according to re-
ports from Guayamas. The Richard
son Construction Company which
owns approximately 100000 acres
in the valley, has sent out an appeal
to the American consul at Guayamas
asking that protection be furnished
Immediately as the American colony
is wholly without protection in the
valley, where the Indians are report
ed as raiding farms, driving off
stock, burning American harvests,
and moving toward the experimental
station. No American casualties have
been reported.
Five hundred Indian warriors en-
gagged Mexican troops for three
hours yesterday along the Porfirio
Diaz canal between Cocor-t and Es-
peranza. The result has not been
learned.
Admiral Winslcw, who is here with
the cruiser San Diego, has directed
the cruiser Raleigh, en- route from
Guayamas to Topolobampo, to pro-
coed to Tobari bay which is the
nearest approach to the American
settlement. The Raleigh is due early
tomorrow.
Earlier advices from Guayamas
state that six hundred infantry sem
south from Hermosillo for the protec
ton of the Yaqui districts arrived il
the valley yesterday but continued
