GERMANS EXPECT
 EARLY AGREEMENT
Mouth to Mouth Negotia.- tions, It Is Believed, Will
 Solve Arabic Problem.

Berlin, Sept. II, via London.-Re- ports received here that President Wilson will make no formal reply to the German governments report con- corning the steamship Arabse. but will confer confdentialIy with Ani- bassador vOn B rnstorif, are accl,. n ed by the newspaper "Gern1aniG, ( ; a new indication of the good will of the German government and it's in tent to come to an understanding With the United States.
 Previous diplomatic interchanges, says Germania, have been made un- der disadvantageous conditions, be- cause protests to Berlin have been received in advance in British dis patches.
 we believe friendly mouth-to- mouth negotiations will serve the purpose desired by both sides rather better than the earlier interchanges, this newspaper adds.
 Commenting on the conflicting re- ports from Washington concerning the Arabic case and it's r ference to The Hague the National Zeitung says
 
 it understands negotiat ons are in progress in Washington looking to a removal of all misunderstanding These negotiations are confidential for the present. it says, but there is definite reason for the hope that they will lead to favorable result.
 The present situation seems to have resulted from the supposed conflict between Ambassador von Bernstorff's s declarations and the Arabic note, the National Zcitung continues. In reali- ty they were two separate and dis tjnct announcements, notwithstand- ing tn ir seeming connection, inas- much as Count Bcrnstorff could not have possibly known that the Arabic intended to ram the submarine which sank her.

mi. weeks Red Letter Days are

This weeks Red Letter Days are witnessing perfect siege of the Contest stores by patrons. This was manifest even the first Red Letter Day and no doubt the next series will tax the energies of every merchant One reason for the large advance in the vote for the leading contestants Is that they became alert from, the very first to the tremendous vote oi5tainable through this channel. The very fact that they have accomplished so much in a. short time in this manner Is proof sufficient that contestant far down the list could wake up and jump to the front by a weeks work
 We congratulate the F. O. Eagles upon the gains they attained this week and now that the Red Letter Days are fin vogue, they should prove an incentive for everyone to do 6 winning stunt.
 St. Mary'g School lost . lap this week, not because they have be- come lax by any means, for they arc working harder than ever, but simply due to the fact that the Eagles accomplished greater amount of work.
 Putnam High School, the B. F. o. El1s and the Odd Fellows are also steadily advancing towards the goal. for they have displayed re- newed energy since the Red Letter Days have been in motion. and riEhteously so, for with the re- demption features such as Heckers' Cereal packages which represent 50 votes each excepting Superiative Self Raising Flour and Cream Wheat Parma which are redeerna- ble for 100 votes each. Gold Medal Butter Wrappers which are re- deenable for 100 votes each, Mad den's Cigar Bands which arc 10 votes each, Union Club Coffee and Russian Blended Tea which repre- sent 200 votes for the empty Coffee Can and 200 votes for the Half Pound Tea Package, the Empire Theatre Special Ticket, the Cigar cite, Spearrnint Coupons and Soap Wrappers. and with the merchants representing every department of trade. contestants far down the list. as we have stated above. are of- fered an exceptional opportunity to advance to the forefront.
 Bundles of the little Five Vote Bulletin Coupons are coming in each week and with the enlarged Bonus vote for each set, we expect even greater results. Each set rep resents 30 votes for the set and 50

 Today's session of the trial was oc- cupied entirely with the reading of documentary evidence. This con- sisted of testimony bearing on Thaw's sanity given at previous proceedings. Part of it included evidence put for ward in Thaw's behalf at his second trial when he was acquitted of the murder of Stanford White on the grounds of insanity.
 While the reading of this testimony was not completed when the trial adjourned today the attorneys thought this would be accomplished in time to call their first witness some time tomorrow

 cles Already Sold.

The exhibit of the Putnam Trade school being made in the window of a store on the square Is attracting a great amount of attention and provid- ing some surprises for those who have somehow and without warrant gain ed the idea that this school is a pas- time or playhouse. The fine ginghams and other materials of a textile nature exhibited show that the students who manufactured them have made won derful progress during the one year of the schools history. This is also true of the cabinet exhibits, of the drawings and other features included in the display. It is significant that cards bearing the word "SolP' began to make their appearance in the win dow Thursday, attached to objects dis played. Student craftsmen who have reached the stage of making things that will sell are getting along fairly well, 1t is generally agreed here.

Moustaehes in War.

Tho correspondent who writes to a contemporary suggesting that the British War Office authorities should insist on soldiers being clean -shaven instead of ordering them to wear moustaches, might have alleged Teu- tonic influence in the adoption of the moustache of the British army. The idea was first borrowed from a batch of Austrian officers Quartered with some of our troops or the South Coast during the Waterloo campaign. Ii was taken up by the Guards, who very much resented any attempt on the part of mere line regiments to fol- low lie new fasIfon. The winter campaign in the Crimea led our men to grow full boards for warmth and these, modified into flowing whislxers ('Piccadilly weepers," as they came to be called) on their return to Lon- don. were long regarded as the mark pf the man of fashion.-London Chron- lcle.
