WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-It be- came know n that the plans of the United States for putting Haiti in order contemplates calling upon the war department if necessary to fur nish officers for the island police from the corps of men-commissioned officers who developed and command ed the Philippine constabulary. Of ficers say the proposed protectorate treaty provides not only for a com plete financial protectorate over the administration custom houses. but for native police officers by Americans. Rear Admiral Caperton and his ma rines will remain on the island pend ing the ratification of the treaty, set ting up the machinery for the pro tectorate.
 Some opposition is expected from the rebellious element on the north of the island who do not look with favor upon ending the revolutionary days, but little real trouble is looked for. Prompt ratification of the protecto- rate treaty by the Hatien parliament was forecast in dispatches to the

 THE GERMANS
In the Baltic Provinces the Teutons Are Pressing the Russians Hard in Effort to Reach the Petrograd Railroad
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Germans, with the capture of CIita, and in full possession of the entire Brest-Lit- cvsk line have resumed the offen- sive in the Baltic provinces and are pressing the Russians both in the districts southeast of Mitau, and to the east of KovnO in an effort to reach the main line of the railway which passes through Wilma and Dvinsk to Petrograd. This may in time prove the most important Of the German operations, although at present they are using more troops in pursuit of the Russians who are retiring from Brest-LitOVsS and the line on either side of the fortress.
 The capture of several German trenches in the Vosges is reported by Paris, but what is considered more significant is the continGed activity of the air squadron which has been bombarding the German positions in France as well as the munitions fac tories across the German border.
 It is expected that with the fall of Brest-Litovsk which followed that of Olita, south of Kovno, the armies of Field Marshal von Hndenburg would be reinforced and make an other attempt to cut off the retreat of the Russians. It is believed here, however it is now too tate to ac-

News of the wreck that resulted in four deaths and the tying up of Santa Fe trains to the north night before last was first received in Phoenix in the form of disjointed statements over the Santa Fe dispatcher's wire some time after midnight. Members of the train crew were compelled to walk fifteen miles north of the Date Creek trestle, the scene of the accI- dent to Hillside, in order to reach a wire end and after their arrival in the little office it was necessary to rouse the operator before communica- ton could be established with the of flee in Prescott, where news of the disaster was first made public.

At that time the seriousness of the week was not known and it was thought that il was nothing but i .Crailmcnt. While the passengers were waiting for relief from either Prescott or the south. the rain kept pouring down all over the country surrounding Date Creek and it was hut a short time before the cars had so blockaGed the stream that it was running about fifteen feet deep above the former trestle.
 Oscar and Frank Pomberton. who had been sitting on the porch of their Ianch house a few miles away. had seen the accident through the eX- tinguishment of the lights and they came on horseback to aid in the rescue work.

This Would Nave to h. clude Preparation for the Americans Lost and As surances Such Tragedies Would Not Be Repeated
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcEl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Germany5 intention to tender full satisfaction to the United States for the sinking of the Arabic with the loss of -wo Amer jeans, was formally communicated to the state department by the German ambassador, acting under instructions from the Berlin foreign office. This, it IS well known would have to include repaIatiOn for the Americans lest and assurances that such tragedies would not be repeated.
 No further developments in the sit nation are expected now until the sub- marine commander who sank the Ara bic reports to Berlin. It became known tonight that the state department was informed that Germany is ready to re- new discussion of the Lusitania inci- dent and to offer reparation for tho Americans lost with that vessel.
 The memorandum read to Secretary Lansing by Count vOn Bernstorff to- day outlined the position of the German government in the Arabic case and promised that in the event it was found the steamer was attacked without warning the imperial German govern ment will not only disavow the act but give the United States full satisfac- tiOn". Though the president and Sec retary Lansing were visibly encour- aged and relieved by von Bernstorrrs assurances and reports from Ambassa- dor Gerard on his conference with For eign Minister von Jagow, in the mean- time they are in a waiting attitude. Before the American government can speak there must be forthcoming a q aI .f what all the evidence received has seemed to prove was an unfriendly act
 There has been no response to the last American note on the Lusitauia subject and it is known the United States would not listen to reparation proposals with the situation created by the sinking of the Arabic still pending. With the attack on the Arabic dis avowed, however, and guarantees giv- en against repetition, a German com munication explaining that the Lusf- tania was torpedoed as a reprisaI against Great Britain under the mis- apprehension that she was armed. and that the killing of the Americans is re- gretted and was not intended and off, ering reparation would probably pave the way for an amicable settlement.
 About the only shadow over the op- timism in official circles was cas tbv the If in the promise conveyed by Ambassador von Bernstorff. Some of- ficials thought the disposition by Ger many to question the evidence that tho Arabic, a peaceful passenger vessel, unarmed and inoffensive was attacked 1 without warning, might lead to inter menable and unsatisfactory negotia- | tions. It was suggested that there was a possibility that the submarine which fired the torpedo might even have faI- len victim to British warships and would never be able to report. In Ger man quarters, however, confidence is felt the submarines report will soon i reach Berlin
 German officials made it plain that their government as soon as it has re- lieved the strain upon the relations with the United States by limiting

sist of a guarantee of $4,000 for

From White, Welsh would not de-

Lefty Russell and Larry ChappeII
have reported to Manager Rowland
of the White Sox for spring training
carrying large supply of surplus
weight. The fact that each is making
a last ditch fight to remain in the big
league seems to have had no effect
on the minds of these two athletes.
Last season Russell was over
weight in the spring and throughout
the season was too heavy to pitch the
ball of which he is capable. There
were rumblings of an intention to re-
turn him to the minors, but this
warning seems to have had no effect
on the big Texas southpaw.
This year he arrived in Paso Robes
weighing in the neighborhood of 22O
pounds, which is 35 pounds more
than he should scale to do his best
work. And if the Rebel doesn't take
that heft off this spring he is doomed
for slide backward.
ChaPpelI reported in excellent con-
dition last year. Then an injury to
his leg incapacitated him and he was
out of commission throughout the
year. except for acting as pinch hit

Jack Johnson, heavyweight cham
pion, who is to meet Jess Willard in
a title fight at Juarez, Mexico, in two
week, is still missing from the scene
of impending hostilities. Saturday
he was reported as having arrived at
Tampico, with the added information
that he would be in JUarez yesterday.
This morning he was reported to
have landed in Cuba yesterday and
was said to be on his way to Havana.
In any event, the smoke will have
about ten days to prepare for a fight
for the championship of the world.
We cannot remember a champion
who gave himself such a short period
for his conditioning.
Certainly Jacks recent life has not
tended to keep him fit for battle at
a moments notice. This attitude on
the part of Johnson doesn't make the
affair look much better and will fail
to stir up much enthusiasm among
the stay-at-hOme fans.
