WAR IS BELIEVED ONLY REPLY Of

All expressed the belief that war
is the answer--without further diplo-

The size of the allied expedition
landed at Salonika is unknown. The
newspapers printed merely the
Athens dispatches telling of the land
ing, and they assumed that these
forces are adequately supplied with
artillery to meet the. expected Bull
garian invasion of Serbia, The Bull

be an attempt at a swift dash to-
ward the Nish-Salonika railway, a
vital expedition in view of the allies

Both Rome and Athens reported ex-
treme military activity at Odessa and
Sebastopol, declaring that Russia is
preparing to transport q big eypedi-
tion to the Bulgarian coast. Experts,
however, doubted that the czar will
attempt an invasion of Bulgaria.
Reports that Roumania had de-
cided to remain neutral. at least for
the present, are not surprising,

differences between this country and
Germany were practically disposed OF
today by a letter which Ambassador
Won Bernstorff handed to Secretary OF
State Lansing. specifically dlsayow-
Ing the torpedoing Of the liner Arabic
with loss OF American lives.
State department and White House
statements indicated this afternoon
that the effect OF the letter is to wipe
out the Lusitania controversy as we'll
as the Arabic.
The Lusitania case. however, will
be taken up Informally In a manner
similar to the Arabic. Now the ad-
ministration protest against the Brit
ish order-in-counci and against gen.
eral interference with American trade
will be dispatched soon. It was learn
ed on high White House authority
The ENJOYS letter follows.
MY Dear Mr. Secretary:
Prompted by the desire to reach
a satisfactory agreement In regard
to the Arabic incident, my govern
ment has given me the following In
structions:
THE orders issued by His Ma
jesty the Emperor to commanders OF
German submarines. OF which ] gave
notice TO you on previous occasion,
have been made SO stringent that re-
currence OF an incident similar to the
Arabic is considered out OF the ques-
tion.
According TO the report of Com
mander Schneider OF the submarine
which sank the Arabic. upon his afii-
davit as well as the mems, Schneider
was convinced that the Arabic intend
ed to ram the submarine. On the
other hand. the imperial German gov
ernment does not doubt the good
faith of aflidavits OF the British Of
ficers of the Arabic. according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram her.
1.-The submarine attack. therefore,
was undertaken against 1t. The I'm
perial government regrets and dis
ayows this act and has notified Com
mander Schneider accordingly
Under these circumstances, my
government is prepared to pay in
demnity for American lives which. to
its deep regret. have been lost on
the Arabic. am authorized to ne
gotiate with you about this indem-
nifty. I remain, ETC."

Island prison, under sentence from
Oregon courts on similar charges, are
named in the indictment. They are
Fred Banter, John Cogburn and John

men knew they were not accredited
representatives OF the Oregon
California railroad. and misrepresent-
ed land, sold land and conducted a
business in lands which they had no
legal right to do.
