GERMAN NOTE EVADES PLEDGE
WILSON'S CONFIDENCE WANING
OTHER DIPLOMATS MAY GO
washington Disappointed by Kaisers Reply in Arabic
Case Bernstorffs Promise Had Predicted Dsavowal;
Friendship Now Strained
CRISIS AGAIN IN RELATIONS BETWEEN COUNTRIES

Washington.-The German govern.
ments note IL the Arabic case is
unsatisfactory and disappointing. This
Is the unanimous opinion among Off
Gals here. Not only does it fail to
meet the Arabic issue sqrarely. but
what is most sought, it fails to pro-
vlde definition OF Germany's SUI.
marine policy.
When Secretary Lansing told Am
oassador Bernstorff that he insisted
on the settlement of the Arabic case
De1ore the Lusitania question was
taken up, it was the understanding
that Germany would declare without
room for DOUBT that it would comply
with international law.
Instead the German government
Eas evaded this issue entirely, AID
has endeavored to justify the torpe-
doing of the Arabic on what are
regarded f1imsy grounds, despite the
mint given to Ambassador Bernstorff
ny Secretary Lansing that the evil
nence that the Arabic was sunk
without justification was convincing.
References in the note to the
OIuerS ISSUED TO the German COM
mander are regarded as vague and
unsatisfactory. The administration
had hoped, from Count Won Bern
storms letter to Secretary Lansing
short time ago, that Germany
would give their consent in such form
that the United States would be able
TO deal with. Germany on a basis of
complete frankness. Instead, the note
gives even less information than did
the ambassadors letter, and in certain
ways it appears even to renounce a
part of the assurances already given.
In view of the utter disagreement
between the two governments both on
the facts and the principle involved,
dt is difficult to see how a disagree
able and possibly dangerous situation
can be avoided.

AMERICAN FLAG
TRAMPLED upon
AMERICAN CITIZEN CARRYING
THREATENED WITH DEATH.
SIR ROBERT L. BORDEN.

Observation-Disclosures critical situa.
ton developed in Mexican affairs
when the State Department was in
formed officially that the American
flag had been trampled upon and torn
10 pieces nea P%achueha; that Allen
Mallory. an American citizen carrying
dispatches, had been arrested and
threatened with death. and that 4
reign of terror exists in the Mexi-
can capital.
The dispatch to the State Depart
ment says;
ALLEN Mallory. citizen of the Unit
ed States. % years of age, was assault
ed by Iapatistas while carrying CORE
s~pondeHce between Puebla and Mexi=
&C City. He vas riding In an automo.
bile flying the American flag. He was
accompanied by the son of the Chilean
minister, a Swiss citizen and Spanish
subjects. Tho Spaniards were removed
from the machine and ordered to he

city, where he was informed by Ia
patistas that he would be shot il he
made further disturbance.
There is an absolute reign Of ter.

concerned"
1t is indicated In another dispatch
that the Spanish subjects Who were
with Mallory were dragged into the
mountains by horses Their fate i
unknown. although it is reported that
at last accounts. one OF them was
still alive"
Mallory protested against the sen
fencing of the Spaniards. one Of whom
vas his chauffeur.
Keep your mouth shut or YOU will
be shot he Was told by the officer.
who later released him. An investiga-
ton OF the incident has been ordered.
The State Department assumes that
Mallory was carrying dispatches from
American officials in Mexico city to
Vera Cruz. II it is proved that he
had dispatches from the Brazilian min.
lister for the State Department. it
would be a high a~ggravation OF the
case. although the insult TO the 1as
could not be exceeded as an indignttv

More than 10 per cent increase IN
the number OF Confederate pensioners
in the state is shown in the reports
from SO of the rs county pension
boards so far received at tho office OF
the state auditor. The state pension
board will approve the applications
for pensions. and officials OF the audi
tors Office are endeavoring to ecure
the reports from all counties before

1t is estimated that the pensioners

on their pension warrants this year,
because of the large increase in the
number of applications without IN in.
