SAYS ARABIC SUNK
 IN SELF-DEFFNSE
SUBMARINE ENGAGED IN DE- STROYING BRIGHTER WHEN
 ARABIC WAS SIGHTED.

Berlin. - The commander of a Ger man submarine, which has returned to its base, has reported to the admiral ty that he torpedoed the liner Arabic in the belief that the Arabics action indicated she was about to attack the submarine and that he fired ill self-de- fense.
 The submarine commanders report says the submarine was engaged in destroying a freighter when the Arabic was sighted. The submarine then was on the surface
 The Arabic, the commander declar- ed, swung around and headed toward the freighter as if to attack the sub- marine. The commander of the under sea craft remained in doubt as to the Arabic's intentions when she changed her course a few points, but still kept headed in a direction bringing her nearer to the scene.
 The commander reports that he con- tinued to observe the actions of the liner until he saw the Arabic again change her course and head directly for the spot where the submarine lay, as if she had sighted the undersea 1 boat.
 Then the submarine commander, be- lieving his craft was in danger, he de- clared, submerged and fired torpedo.

WALLACE DAVIS, SON OF LATE SENATOR DAVIS SUCCEEDS
 LATE JUDGE w. L. MOOSE.
M'PHETRIDGE IS REPLACED
Dinner Rurnsides Appointed as Chief Stenographer-Mis Laura Jacob son to Succeed Miss Dar-

Little Rock

Little R0ck.-
 Governor Hays appointed Wallace Davis attorney general to succeed the late w L, Moose John r. Streepey, assistant attorney general under Judge Moose. is to be retained by the new attorney general Dinner Burnsldes, former assistant secretary to Cover nor Hays, is to replace James Me Phetridge as chief stenographer, while it is said Miss Laura Jacobson, formerly stenographer in the State Tax Commission, is to succeed Miss Darden Moose.
 MT. Davis is the son of the late Sen ator Jeff Davis and close political friend of Governor Hays. He was graduated from the law department ot the University of Arkansas SIX years ago and has since practiced law in Little Rock.

The man select ed by Governor Hays to fill the va cancy will act with the governor m the selection of the county election board. In the past the man who con- trolled the appointment of election commissioners found himself in pos session of a great political asset, as many counties in Arkansas, or the leading politicians in those countles, invariably followed the suggestion or the political boss in controlling the political machine in order to dictate appointments on the election boards.
 Governor Hays was stanch pol1tl- cal supporter of the late Senator Da- wis. Wallace Davis was also one or Governor Hays managers in his con- test for the gubernatorial nomination three years ago.

GRAVE SITUATION
 SAYS PRESIDENT
DECLINES INVITATION TO MAKE ADDRESS AT MANASSAS
 BATTLEFIELD
PRAY THAT SKIES MAY CLEAR
Chief Executive Says His Thoughts Are Mortgaged Beyond Recall For the Present-Has Forfeited
 His Liberty.

Washington. - President Wilson expressed his view of the gravity of the international situation which con- fronts the United States to a delegar tion of Virginians, who asked him to visit the Manassas battlefield late this month.
 We are all hoping and praying that the skies may clear said the presi- dent, but we have no control of that on this side of the water, and it is impossible to predict any part Of the course of affairs
 The president was reminded that some time ago he had promised to go to Manassas to dedicate a tablet.
 When I made that promise,' the president told the delegation, things were just beginning and great many things have happened since which have altered not only the aspect of our own affairs but the aspect of af- fairs of the world My experience here day by day is that questions turn up so suddenly and have to be handled so promptly, and sometimes with so much thoughtful discretion, that really dare not let my thoughts go out to other matters.
 ''I could not come to Manassas with out having something to say. It would not be worthy of the occasion if I did not make preparations that would be worth while, and that is out of the question. My thoughts are mortgaged beyond recall for the present
 "I simply feel that I have forfeited my liberty for the present and that my nearest duty is the most obvious and imperative duty. I have been obliged to say this to all invitations, however tempting in character, and would not be worthy of your trust if did not come to such a conclusion, because I know that you want these matters taken care of as best we know how and I ought not to send my thoughts afeld"

WILSON ASKS RECALL
 AMBASSADOR DUMBA
CAPT. FRANZ VON PApEN Mu, TARY ATTACHE OF GERMAN
 EMBASSY, INVOLVED.

Washington. President Wilson'a request for the recall of the Austrian ambassador, Dr. Constantin Theodo, Dumba, has broadened into a sitna. ton involving Capt. Franz von Papen. the military attache of the German en- bassy; Alexander Nuber von Pereked the Austrian consul-general in New York, and possibly Count von Bern. storff, the German ambassador. Tha official view is that the ambassador. although technically involved, is not so seriously concerned as the military attache or the consul-general. It is not unlikely that both the latter may be recalled or dismissed from the country.
 Coupled with Germans disappoint ing and unsatisfactory explanation of the sinking of the. White Star liner Arabic, after Count von Bernstorff had given assurances that full satisfaction would be given if it were established that a German submarine sank the ship, official Washington views the friendly relations with the Germanie powers strained more toward the breaking point than ever before,
 Hopes that the submarine crisis had been safely passed and that break between Germany and the United States had been avoided were displae ed by misgivings Talk of the possL bility of breaking diplomatic relations was heard again, although this time t involved both the central powers, on the theory that Austria after having her ambassador virtually dismissed from the country might stand with her ally in relations with the United States
 Unofficial reports that a second note had been started from the Berlin for eign office for Washington furnished about the only basis of optimism in official quarters, so far as tie subm$ rine controversy was concerned. There was no official intimation that another communication was on the way, but the American reply to the Arabic note probably will be delayed until officials can learn whether to expect anything additional from Berlin.
 It may be stated, however, that nothing comes in the nature of mod'- fication of Germany's explanation, an American note will reach Berlin prop ably early next week, which will se' forth the views of the United States in brief and unmistakable manner

COUNT vON BERNSTORFF VISITS WASHINGTON IN EFFORT TO
 RELIEVE SITUATION.
OFFICIALS REMAIN SILENT
President Wilson and Secretary Lans ina Are Considering the Testi- mony of the Survivors
 of the Arabic.

Washington.-Count von Bernstorf, the German ambassador, returned to Washington to initiate informal dis cussion with the American govern ment supplementary to the note from the Berlin Foreign Office regarding the sinking of the Arabic, with the hope of paving the way for formal ne- gotiations for adjustment of the sitn- ation growing out of the loss of Amer lean lives in the tragedy.
 The ambassador is optimistic in spite of the growing serious concern here over the state of relations be- tween the United States and the Ger manic allies, following the receipt of disappointing note from Germany on the Arabic and the request from the recall of Ambassador Dumba of Austria. It is held in German circles the Arabic note. with its reiteration of the announcement that submarines are under orders not to sink peaceful liners without warning, Is ir ;scord with assurances already given the State Department and confidence is felt that an agreement can be reached for arbitration of the question of re- paration.
 President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are considering the testimony of survivors of the Arabic, all tending to show the Arabic was torpedoe.l without warning while preceding peacefully on the high seas.
 Nothing has been heard officially from Vienna regarding Dr Dumba Press dispatches stating that the am- hassador would be recalled without making an issue of his right to plan Austro-Hungarian strikes in American lxlnition plants were accepted as ac- curate.
