SUBMARINE ENGAGED IN DE sTRoYINe BRIGHTER WHEN
 ARABIC WAS SIGHTED.
LINERS ACTION SUSPICIOUS
Commander of Submarine Says Ship Was Headed Toward Them, and
 Believing Themselves in
 Danger, Fired Torpedo.

Berlin. = The commander of a Ger man submarine, which has returned to it's base, has reported to the admiral ty that he torpedoed the liner Arabic in the belief that the Arabies action indicated she was about to attack the submarine and that he fired in self-de- fense.
 The submarine commanders report says the submarine was engaged in destroying 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 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 boat.
 Then the submarine commander, be- lieving his craft was in danger, he de- clared, submerged and fired torpedo.

landlords, with ranches rented on shares to persons of the lower classes. Their mode of life is similar to Euro peans and from among them the large percentage of island officials is drawn
 The middle class citizen is care free person whose ranch furnishes him with a comfortable livelihood This he increases by his labors as gold or silversmith or as cabinet mak- CT. Many of the native Chamorros turn out rare bits of wood work, which is used by themselves or eagerly pur- chased by the American families resi- dent on the island
 The coming of the United States marines and their officers has had it's effect On the dress of the natives. The men of the middle class wear whites" the coat fastened up to the neck in military fashion, but with tails like a shirt on the outside of the loose trousers. They wear a straw hat, or an imported felt one; and when at home wear half-slippers without stock ings. The wife and daughters usually wear trailing skirt of silk muslin and full, low-necked, wide-sleeved blouse of stiff pima cloth, over which a wide kerchief is frequently draped. The youngest daughters are often dressed in American fashion.
 The lower classes differ in appear ance from the higher classes, a fact which may be due to the lesser infu- sion of foreign blood in their veins. They are a peaceful, good-natured and law-abiding people, industrious after their own limited fashion and sensi- tive and clannish to a degree.
 No Race Suicide Here.
 The natives are homogeneous and race suicide is thing not to be feared. A mother thirty-two years old has been found with fifteen children, two sets of twins in the number; and large families are the rule rather than the exception.
 Wedding customs among the Cham orros are of unique interest. The serv- ice is usually at 4:30 on Wednesday

CARRANzA ISSUES
 NEUTRALITY ORDERS
MAJ. w. II. HAY, GEN. FUNSToN'S CHIEF OF STAFF TAKES TRIP
 ALONG THE BORDER.

Townsville. First Chief Venusti- border imbroglio, according to state ment by Gen. E. P Nafarrate, com handing the Carranza troops opposite the Brownsville section. At the same time Maj. W. H. Hay, chief of staff for Maj-Gen. Frederick Funston, took a trip along the border above here + was believed his trip contemplated an important disposition of small army of American troops. either now here or en route, to enable them better to control the skirmishing across the in ternational line. For the first time m several days, none of this intermittent fighting was reported by army patrols or Texas rangers. Gen. Nafarrate said that Gen. Carranza wired him to enforce strict neutrality at this bor- der. Nafarrate said he replied that to. do this he must have more troops. He is awaiting Gen. Carranza's answer.
 Nafarrate, saying that he wished to cooperate with the American military >NeeSiAOAASiOot SofO tiC lOllJW HE OutlluC of border fighting, as reported from his side of the line:
 We have received orders from First Chief Carranza to strictly ob- serve neutrality and not to help in any way tho Texas revolutionists Un- friendly reports have said several times that our men have crossed to the Texas side to fight. That is wrong, because our review list the first of this month shows no man is missing We have given order to our officers not once but three times, not to fire On American troops, even if they fire on us. Two days ago we received d tciegram that at Cavazos crossing Texas rangers and Sheriff Bakers men came to the American side of the river and fired on our troops, killing two ci. vilians and wounding one Carranza of ficer This officer did not order his men to return the fire, but instead to retire immediately from the river bank. He had orders not to shoot, and he did not shoot"

EXTEND AID TO
 COTTON GROWERS
DEFINITE STEPS WERE TAKEN BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 AND SECRETARY M'ADoO.

Washington. Definite steps wero taken by the Federal Reserve Board and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to extend aid to cotton growers and to clear the way for handling the fall crop without last years uncertainty and difficulty.
 The board issued new regulations, authorizing federal reserve banks to give special rediscount rates on prom issory notes secured by warehouse re- cclpts for staple agricultural products, with the restriction that member banks which avail themselves of this rate must not charge more than six per cent to the borrower.
 MT McAdoo announced he soon would deposit $5,000,0OO in gold as an initial deposit in each of the federal reserve banks at Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million dollars more is to be deposited later.
 The secretary said that if conditions showed the peed of deposits elsewhere to aid in handling any other crop he would extend similar aid
 The new regulations are broad enough to supply to all staple readily marketable crops, but 1t is well known that the cotton crop is the one that has given concern of late.
 The board announced that the re- serve banks in Atlanta and Dallas al- ready had requested a rediscount rate of three per cent on the sort of paper approved in the regulations
 The announcements followed meet ings that have occupied the time of the board and MT. McAdoo most of the last two days. The secretary's proposal several months ago of depos- it's of government funds in Southern reserve banks alone was not favored by several members of the board, but it was not opposed during the recent discussions. Some members indicat- ed, however, that as the total cotton crop probably would be worth about $800,000000 they did not think ESQ., 100000 would go far toward hand ling it.

 A NEW OFFENSIVE
EMPEROR NICHOLAS HAS PLACED HIMSELF AT THE HEAD OF
 HIS ARMY.
RIGA HELD AGAINST ODDS
Germans Have So Far Failed to Win in Her Effort to Get important City as Base For Future
 Operations.

London. - The news that Emperor Nicholas had placed himself at the head of his army. which he announced in telegram to Raymond Poincare, president of France, and the visit paid by the French commander-in-chief, Gen. Joffre, to the Italian army, fore shadows, it is believed in military cir. cles here, stirring events in which the armies of all the allies will cooperate
 It Is declared the Russians already are nearly, if not quite, holding their own against the Austrians and Ger mans, whose advance at most points has been stopped. In places the Rus sians are on the offensive
 Since the outbreak of the war Grand Duke Nicholas, cousin of Emperor Nicholas, has been in command of the Russian armies. In this capacity he has achieved fame and military critics have rated him as one of the ablest generals of the warning nations. AL though the grand dukes armies have suffered a long series of reverses since the beginning of the great Austro- German offensive movement in May, their leader has been credited with conspicuous strategic successes dur ing this period.
 The grand dukes main accomplish ments were the extrication of the bulk of his forces from the Austro-G -Germaa enveloping movements in Galicia, and later in Russian Poland, when he again drew out his armies, this time from the dangerous Warsaw salient.
 The message of Emperor Nicholas to President Poincaire does not make it clear whether Grand Duke Nicholas has been superseded by the emperor.
 During the last few weeks there has been severe criticism of the conduct of the war by the Russian authorities, but cabled dispatches have shown no criticism of the grand duke,
 Riga remains the danger point, but the fact that the Russians continue to occupy the town after the Germans have advanced to Dvina, southeast of Riga, leads military writers to con- clude that the Russians feel reasona- bly, sure of their ability to defend the river, and in time to push sufficiently far westward to relieve the pressure on their forces on the shores of the Gulf of Riga.

A N AmoriCdn-mauo bureau mas
 A the sign of aristocracyi Or
 M perchance, buffet sideboard Al A or table to proclaim the so-
 cially "arrivedi"
 For entrance into the inner circle of the elect commend to Uncle Sans Chamorro relations a chiffonier and they ask no more of this world boons. The advent of the Americans to the island of Guam has given the natives there a glimpse of American made furniture, and their souls long for it with the longing of mad desire, writes Hazel Pedlar in the San Fran cisco Chronicle.
 They have been content through centuries with their woven floor mats and their stone stoves spread out in their lean-to kitchens. Through gen. erations of the Chamorro people men have been satisfied with the meager returns from their primitive farming They needed money only to pay taxes. There was little it would buy save rice in famine times, a little sugar now and then as a luxury, and plug of tobacco as a great extravaganza.
 But the coming of the white men, wearing the uniforms of Uncle Sam, Las changed all that. The introduo- tion of goods of all classes and the i'm portation, free of duty, of all goods of American origin, have given the natives new ideas and new tastes. They need money to buy the white mans wares.
 But above all, they have seen the household furniture of American man. ufacture, and they know no peace un- til they have acquired at least one sam pie. They care not whether it be stove or bureau, chiffonier or table. Posses sion is the mark of aristocracy; and ambition, which is akin to yearning, is abroad in the picturesque little is- lands that dot the broad Pacific.
 Furniture Ruling Passion.
 Saving for rainy days is not gen eral pastime in Guam. The farms
The Pulaskian., 1915-09-10

scattered about the island yield enough to eat and to wear and the Chamorros take little thought of the morrow. But saving for furniture buy ing is the "aristocratic' practice of the middle and lower classes. The millennium will come when in every home there is at least one piece of American-made furniture.
 Social classes and aristocracy in Guam cannot be traced along the usual lines of demarcation. Practically all the inhabitants are land owners; many of the lower classes have recognized good blood and no family in the island can be called wealthy. A native who can obtain a diet of vegetables for himself and his family, two or three new cotton suits year. and $50 cash annually considers himself well off in- deed. He is satisfied with his primi- tive house of woven bamboo and palm leaves.
 These are the boundaries to his na- tive desires and station. But if he can add to his life the glory of a walnut bureau or nickel-trimmed iron stove, truly the gods have been good to him. And great, therefore, is his prestige
 Roughly speaking, the distinction between classes in Guam falls between those who live from day to day and those who are provident and thrifty The upnnr clasu is cultured refined and exclusive. They are usually large
