SWITZERLAND TO GET FOOD
Question Of lmportatlons Into the
Country Has Been Cleared Up
Satisfactorily.

Washington, Sept l3,-The question
OF importations into Switzerland,
which for a time seriously threatened
friendly relations between that gov
ornment and the allies, has been
cleared up satisfactorily, the state de.
partment learned. Vice.Consul De.
witt G. Poole at Paris cabled the de.
partment that France has reserved the

Washington, Sept. 13.-Germany,
rather than Austria, is expected to de.
eide what the future relations be-
tween the United States and these two
nations are to be.
The Berlin government dominates
both the military and civil activities of
the dual empire. Because of this,
state department officials are coupling
the Dumba recall and the Arabic sit
uation. They are so closely dovetailed,
it is asserted, that either may cause
a serious break in diplomatic rela.
tions.
The administration plans no further
moves in the Austrian situation pend.
ing the reply of Vienna to the recall
demand.
But unless Germany radically modi.
fies her announced position on the
Arabic a sharp note Of protest, reject
ing entirely the principles enunciated
in it, will be rushed to Berlin.
Surprised at Difference.
The president, it is said by those
who reflect his views, is surprised
over the difference in the written
words of Berlin and the oral promises
of Ambassador Won Bernstorff. The
suggestion of arbitration is inter-
preted by him as affecting the princi-
pie which the German ambassador al
ready has accepted in his conferences
with Secretary Lansing.
. And, unable to reconcile the dii-
ferences, there is nothing left for the
United States to do, administration
officials say, but to reject peremptor-
lily the Arabic explanation. Then, II
no further steps are taken by Ber
| lin, the president will follow out his
original plan and recall Ambassador
Gerard.
ReviVes Former Status.
1t is understood that Secretary Ian
sing and President Wilson agree tha
the new Arabic note carries the en-
tire submarine question back to the
conditions prevailing when the last
Lusitania note was sent. And, il
view of the firm attitude shown in the
Dumba action, officials say that there
will be no temporizing with Germany
Either the promises made by Count
Won Bernstorff will be carried out, ol
there will be a sudden end to nego
tiations, no matter what the final con
sequences. And in this connection 1
is stated that there is TO belief Off
cially held that the German ambassa
dor willfully has deceived this govern
ment.
The blame is placed entirely in Rel
lin and there is a growing belief her
that the liberal control there has bee
weakened since the original intorvie,
between Ambassador Gerard and tn
imperial chancellor.

Good Roads Prevent Disease.

Few persons, on first thought,
would see any possible connec-
tion between good roads and
good health. Yet the State
Board of Health of Kansas says
that good roads can and will pre-
vent disease. How? By the re-
moval of weeds and trash.
Weeds and trash prevent the
prompt evaporation of moisture
and promote retention of ground
water. This makes ideal breed
ing spots for mosquitoes flies,
and other insects, which are
known as disease carriers, not to
mention chinch bugs, hoppers
and other insects which are crop
damagers. Furthermore, an un-
dergrowth Of weeds invites the
dumping of garbage and manure
offering concealment, of which
fact careless and thoughtless peo-
pie are prone to take advantage,
thus increasing the facility of in
sect breeders and providing these
insect carriers with proper ma
terial for disease transmission. .
Good roads also prevent disease
by providing good drainage.

Big ARTILLERY .DUELS RAGE
Teutons' Attempts to Cut the French
Line Meet With Deadly Fire From
the Enemy-Kaiser's Troops
Are RepuIsed.

Paris, Sept. 13.-The violent fight
ing in the Argonne on Wednesday and
Thursday was the result OF an effort
of the army OF the German crown
prince to break through the French
lines. The attempt was made with
powerful artillery and a large num-
ber of troops. Apparently it has had
no appreciable result.
The Germans were able to penetrate
the French trenches on a portion of
the front, but were checked immedi-
ately. They renewed their attacks
again and again, with such severe
losses that they gave up the effort.
Germans Lose 100000 Mcn.
This offensive movement, it is said
on good authority, has not modified
the situation in the Argonne. In max
ing it the Germans have had great
er losses, according to the French Off
cial figures, than they have inflicted.
The army of the crown prince has
attempted several times in previous
months to break through the French
front, but so far has scored no definite
success. The statement is made here
that this army has lost upward of 1OO,.
900 men, one corps alone losing 40,-
900 from the ranks, which are being
continually depleted and refilled
There is uninterrupted artillery
fighting at several points along the
line in France, according to the com,
munication given out by the French
war office.
There has been, furthermore, a par
ticularly violent artillery engagement
in the department of the Meuse, and
along the front in Lorraine. The text
of the communication follows:
There was uninterrupted artillery
fighting at night in the sectors Of
Neuville and Roclincourt, as well as
