WOULD PREVENT BREAK
 WITH UNITED STATES
COUNT VON BERNSToRFF VISITS WASHINGTON IN EFFORT TO
 RELIEVE SITUATION.

Washington.-Cou von I3ernstorff 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 tho hope of paving the way for formal ne. gotiations for adjustment of the sitn. ation growing out of the loss of Amer ican 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 a 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 iE accord with assurances already given the State Department and confidence s 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 torpedoel without warning while preceding peacefully on the high seas.
 Nothing has been heard officially from Vienna regarding Dr Dumba. Press dispatches stating that the ann bassador would be recalled without making an issue of his right to plan Austro-Hungarian strikes in American munition plants were accepted as ac. curate.

SITUATION IS GRAVE
 SAYS PRES. WILSON
DECLINES INVITATION TO MAKE ADDRESS AT MANASSAS
 BATTLEFIELD.

Washington. President Wilson expressed his view of tho gravity of the international situation which con fronts the United States to a delega- 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 1t is impossible to predict any part of tho course of affairs"
 The president was reminded that some time ago he had promised to go to Manassas to dedicate tablet.
 When I made that promise" the president told the delegation, things were just beginning and a 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
 
 with so much thoughtful discretion, that 1 really dare not let my thoughts go out to other matters
 q 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.
 q 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 1 did not come to such conclusion, because I know that you want these international matters taken care of as best we know how and I ought not to send my thoughts afield."

AMBASSADOR GERARD WILL PRE- SENT MESSAGE TO GERMAN
 FOREIGN OFFICE.
REPLY MAY BE DELAYED
Secretary Lansing Will Go on a Ten. Day Vacation, During Which Time Germany Is Expected to Con-
 sider the Case.
After 9 conference

Washineton. After conference between Secretary of State Lansing and the president on the case of the Arabic and other diplomatic issues, it was announced for the first time by the State Department that it had cabled the evidence in the Arabic con troversy to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin for presentation to the Ger man foreign office.
 With this important announcement if was stated also that the United States had not made any representa- tions to Germany on the evidence .r was explained by the highest authori- ties in the State Department that the object in cabling the evidence to Ana bassador Gerard was simply that the German foreign office should have not only it's own evidence from it's sub marine commander, but also all the testimony which has been furnished to the State Department from all sources on the Arabic. This govern ment apparently has decided to rest the case for the present, and will await the effect of it's evidence on the German foreign office.
 Secretary Lan3ing will in a day or two go on 10 days vacation, during which period Germany is expected to consider the case and prepare a com munication to this government. It may be delivered by Ambassador Pernstorff to the State Department, or may come direct from Ambassador Gerard
 In the meantime there is nothing in the suggestions of any official com potent to speak on the subject that in dicates a decision on the part of the administration to break off diplomatic relations, or adopt any other drastic course if Germany fails to concede the arguments of the United States.
 The exact points of difference be- tween the United States and Germany on the Arabic case, which heretofore have been variously stated, were de- fined by an authority.

of the labors of their women folk. Oc- casionally, the local authorities round up bunch of the men and set them to work upon neighboring plantations, but it is said that they are so weak and indolent as to be of little value when it comes to manual labor.
 The women are noted for their love of gold coins and colored finery of dress. Their penchant for collecting gold coins which they wear in the form of necklaces had it's origin, it is said, during the period when great numbers of American adventurers made their mad rush across the Isth- mus of Tehuantepec on their way to the California gold fields in the late 40's. When a Tehuana woman once comes into possession of gold piece she will not part with it no matter to what degree of poverty she may be- come reduced Many of these women, whom one sees in the wonderful mar ket places, wear strings of gold coins aggregating several hundred dollars.
 Great chiapas Forests.
 Bordering on the north the level re- zion through which the Pan-American railroad runs is stretch of rich tim Der and agricultural lands of the state of Chiapas. The hand of modern de- velopers and upbuilders has barely touched that little known port of Mex ico. The state is sbundantly SUD- piled with perpetual flowing rivers, the most notable of which are the Grijalva and the Usumacinta, which are navigable for large boats for long distances. The forests have been lit tie explored. They are filled with many kinds of birds of brilliant plum age, and roaming through the wilder ness of tropical trees and plants are leopards, tigers, wild boars, deer, monkeys and many other animals. The interior region is veritable sportsmans paradise. Orchids of enor- nous size and the deepest colors add to the wonderful beauty of the pris- tine forests. It is said that more than 12,000 different varieties of or chids have been collected and classi- fled.
 It is interesting to note that several celebrated ethnologists who made re- search into the existing native tribes of Chiapas and the ruins of a pre- historic civilization that existed there, believe it to have been the cradle of the human race" In this connection it may be stated that the mountain tribes of Indians of Chiapas as we'll as the Tehuana Indians of Tehuantepec bear in many respects remarkable resemblance to the Orientals, both in personal characteristics and in their established customs It is in the northern part of Chiapas that the ruins of Palenque, which have long afforded an inspiring work of research on the part of archeologists, are To- cated. The most authentic estimate of the history of the remains of the city that is now called Palenque is that it was abandoned more than 800 years ago.

ALLIES ID DEMAND
 BILLION DOLLARS
THE PRo-eERMAn FINANciERs, IT IS SAID, WOULD BE GLAD
 TO ASSIST.
MAY WITHDRAW ALL FUNDS
It Is Said Partisan Workers VIII Show Their Displeasure With Any Bank Participating
 in the Loan.

New York.-The pro-Gernan ele- ment of New York's financiers prob ably will be invited to participate in floating the billion dollar credit loan which Great Britain and France hope to establish in this country.
 The pro-German financiers, it is said, would be glad to have a chance to help, but another faction composed largely of Middle Western bankers, with pro-German sympathies, would bitterly oppose participation in raising funds for Germany's enemies, even though all the money will be spent in the United States.
 This was the big feature in the ne- gotiations of the Anglo-French finan- cial commission with Wall street bankers. Heretofore the commission has conferred only with bankers who sympathize with the allies.
 A financier regarded as a leader among the half dozen or so really big pro-German banking houses of New York voiced this opinion:
 There is no doubt in my mind that many banking houses with Teutonic affiliations might be induced to take part in floating the credit loan, be- cause it is necessary to maintain the commerce and industries of the United States"
 Some pro-German bankers high in the councils of Wall street feel keen ly the fact that their firms were not invited to meet the members of the commission.
 However, it is gossip on Wall street that pro-German bankers of Chicago, Cincinnati, St Louis, Mil waukee and other Middle Western cities will bitterly oppose financing of the loan by American banks These bankers, it is said, will take active steps to combat the tendency of other banks to lend the money.
 It is said the more partisan work CTS declare that the pro-German de- positors will show their displeasure with any banks participating in the proposed loan by withdrawing their funds.
 The commission felt that there was no occasion for surprise, in fact that there had been no surprise at the re- port that no collateral would be of fered for the big loan. MT. Blackett, secretary of the commission, would say only that there is yet no definite program and that many suggestions will be considered There had been very little German agitation concern ing the loan, he said. No authorita- tive information as to terms of the loan was available, though many re- ports were broadcast.

Hand Shakinu.

A nonprofessor, defending his posi- tion outside the church, said: "Why should join the church and receive the sacraments? How much better would I be for the observance of a mere formality, like hand-shaking ?"
 The answer was: If you think that hand-shaking is mere formality, re- fuse to take the hand of your friend some day, and you will learn that it has meaning, and that your action will be interpreted as an expression of distrust or dislike. Then remem- Der that you are treating your best Friend as you could treat no other friend and retain his friendship. = United Presbyterian.

35 COUNTIES PUT
 UP $50,000 FOR
 BETTER FARMING
Arkansas Farmer Getting Out of Debt as Result of
 New System.
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock. Nov. 5.-One of the most encouraging features of the campaign for the new agriculture in Arkansas is the fact that the county quorum courts have appropriated $50,000 for carrying on the work that is being directed by the United States department of agriculture. Thirty five counties have reported appro- priaticns fer farm demonstration and canning club work, in sums ranging from $750 in Woodruff county to $4,- 260 in Arkansas county. At least twelve counties refused to make ap- propriatians.
 The counties that have made ap- prcpria ions gre: Faulkner, Arkansas. Ashley, Bradley. Clark. Columbia, Craighead, Crittanden, Dallas. Grant, Greene, Independence Ssvier, Jeffer- son Lee, Logan. Lonoke Mississippi, Ouachita, Phillips, Pike, Cross, Desha, Drew, Pulaski, Randolph. Sebastian, Unl9n. Washington. Woodruff, Yell, St. Francis, Prairia, Garland, Jackson.
 The counties that refused to make appropriations are Benton, Cleburne, Conway, Crawford. Franklin. Hot Springs, Johnson, Lawrence, Nevada, Pope. Baxter and Whise. Of these counties those which made appropria- tions last year are Cleburne, Conway, Franklin, Johnson, and Lawrence.
 This is an evidence of the growth of the agricultural sentiment in Ar kansas-a sentiment that is being translated into practical benefits No ths farmer of Arkansas. All the various agencies that have bean inter- estad in the props ganda are active in the work of supplementing the efforts of lha county demonstrators. Never before has there been so widespread an interest in agricultural matters,
