will be awakened and rushed into Gel

There are more cries.
Good Cod It's staggering!" as the
shrapnel flash breaks apparently near
the great airship.
But the Zeppelin moves on steadily.

What an ode of joy would go up
from the millions of this great city if
they could suddenly see the yellow
monster transformed into the form of
one gigantic gas explosion. Little

slowly fading yellow forms of the
Zeppelins.
We are all brothers and sisters on

Gross Receipts Exceed Two and
Half Millions.
INCREASE IN AUTO RETURNS
Nearly $4,000 Was Collected
for July and August.
Collections on Bonds Come to
More Than Million.


Midsummer receipts for state de-
partments broke all records during
July and August, according to u. state
ment today from the Office of w. f.
Davis, state auditor. In the two mid
summer months the gross revenues in
state departments exceeded two and
q half million dollars.
The big showing for the summer
months was made by the state fiscal
agency, through which bond and Sc
curity payments of more than a mill
lion dollars were made. Under the
present law, the state treasurer is the
authorized fiscal agent for Kansas and
looks after collections on all bonds
Payments on these bonds during
July and August reached a total of
81, 01S,S 10.22, as against payments of
$S2S, 496.12 for the same period in
1914. Through the fiscal agency

REBUFF PLEAsEs GERMANIA.
Berlin Paper Says U. S. Should Look
to England in Arabic Case.

Berlin, Sept 11.-"Dignified and
satisfying is Germania's characterize
ton of the German note on the Arabic
case. The paper asserts the destruc-
ton of the steamer violated none of
the provisions of the agreement pre-
scented to the United States govern
ment by Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
for there is no doubt the Araoic IN
tended to attack the submarine"
Germania declares there is every
reason to believe the Arabic captain
acted in accordance with his instruc-
tions, and adds:
IF the United States has demands
to make, they must be directed, not to
Germany, which has observed the
rules of warfare, but to Great Britain,
which permitted passengers to board
a vessel whose captain was instructed
and determined to commit belliger-
ent act if the opportunity offered"

GERMANY JUSTIFY SHOT
IContinued from Page One.l


Shelled by a submarine after a torpedo
had missed her stern by a few yards
on July 9. She was on a trip to the
United States and carried as passen-
bers twenty-five Americans.
Ambassador Gerard made some in
quiries by direction of Washington and
the German note now on its way is
understood to be the result.
What effect an attempt to justify
the Orduna case would have on the
situation already made delicate by the
German stand on the Arabic was the
subject of wide speculation today
among officials, who regarded the at
mosphere as far from favorable.
Some Officials Softening.
Overnight consideration of the rote
on the Arabic indicates a softening of
views among one set of officials. who
are inclined to further neg citations
with Germany. Their views cannot
be stated as being President Wilson's.
but their views will be urged upon the
president before he makes up his mind
what to do. While they agree that
Germany'S reply is disappointing and
unsatisfa Glory. they urge that the
Arabic case has come down to ques-
tions of indemnity and of fact.
The explanations offered by Ger
many for the sinking of the White Star
liner differ materially from the state
ment in the hands of President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing. Those Off
contend that proper way to deter
mine which set of facts is correct is
to let the case go to The Hague, where,
they also contend, the question of in
demnity could be arbitrated without
endangering the principles for which
the United States has commended as
governing submarine warfare.
There were indications in official
quarters today that the United States
had received more unofficial and in
formal limitations that despite the at
tacks on the Arabic and the Hesper-
ian. the German government actually
had finally accepted the principle that
unarmed merchantmen should not be
attacked without warning, unless they
attempted to escape or resist capture.
Germany Accepts q. S. View.
The new note the United States will
send to Berlin probably will be delayed
until the second note from Germany,
now on its way, has been received. 1t
probably will point out, for one thing
marine commander that his ship is
about to be attacked, cannot be ac-
cepted as justification for torpedoing
an unresiSting m srchantman.
Such a stand by the United States
is not expected to lead to complica-
lions. Officials consider that the flu
ture depends on Berlin.
Attack Up to The Hague.
Secretary Lansing expressed the
view that the United States was now
facing the question of whether it is
willing to let a court of arbitration
decide if the submarine commander
was justified in his act. The court.

AUSTRIA Is SILENT.
Washington. Without Comment
Awaits Word From Vienna.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Austria had
not responded today to President Will
sons request for the recall of her am
bassador, DR.. Constantin Theodor
Dumba. American officials declined
to comment on the situation and like
wise had nothing to say to Count Won
Bernstorff's declaration that he gave
no communication to James F. Archi-
bald, the American who carried Doc
tor Dunn ba'S documents.
Nothing further was done today in
the cases of Captain Franz Won Pepen,
the German military attache, or Con-
sui General Nuber, of Austria, both
involved in the incident which re-
suited in the request for Doctor
Dumba's recall.

DUMBA is UPHELD.
NoSsiSche Zeitung TNits Free Amer
lea" for Interference.

Berln, Sept. 11.-1:1S p. m.-The
report that the United States had re-
quested the recall of Ambassa dor
Dumba was received too late for gen.
erai comment in Saturday morning s
Berlin newspapers, only the Morgen-
post and the Vossische Zeitung refer
ring editorially to the report The
former says:
AS long as only ad ispatch from
British sources is at hand we will re-
serve our judgment Should America
really demand the recall of the am
bassador only because he, in the
course of doing his duty, warned his
countrymen against treason of the
Fatherland, it would afford new proof
or the attitude, which may hardly be
described as sbenevoIent, that America
has taken toward us from the begin
ming
The Vossische Zeitung says:
1T does not seem to point to pro-
nounced good will on the part of the
American government. The ambassa-
dor only did his duty when he called
the attention of subjects of the mon
archy employed in munitions factories
working for the allies to the criminal
lty of their conduct under the laws of
their fatherland. Even if as a result
of the announcement that he was in
duty bound to make, Austrian and
Hungarian wOrkmen should have
stopped, that was nothing but their
good right, and doubly so in. free
America
I'VE learn" the Vossische Zeitung
adds, that printed sheets demanding
the destruction of American munitions
factories have occasionally been in
serted secretly in German newspapers
sent to America. Propaganda of this
sort is as criminal as it is silly. 1t
cannot be described otherwise than as
grave misconduct"
The newspaper adds a warning
against continuation of the practice
it condemns.

the legality of submarine warfare. MI
Lansing refused to comment on the
attitude of the United States, or its
possible future action in regard to the
offer. 1t is admitted today, however
that after sitting the evidence sub
mitted in the affidavits by passengers
and officers of the Arabic, a conclusion
had been reached, but is not being ds-
closed. Secretary Lansing would not
comment other than to say there was
no evidence before him to indicate
that any one on board the Arabic had
seen a submarine before the sinking OF
the ship.

Chicago, Sept. n-WHEAT-Whea

sequence of further rains and because of
predictions of additional downpours all
over the domestic belt before Monday.
Higher quotations at Liverpool counted
also against the bears. There were signs,

would be meager. Opening prices. which
ranged from the same as last night to

and Dcember at dc to 943sc, were followed
by a quick general advance which in some
cases amounted 2Ac.
Improved inquiry from the seaboard led
afterward to still higher prices, but talk
of possible importations from Canada
brought about decided reaction. The

and December at 95c.

Artillery Battle in France.
There has been a renewal of the
heavy artillery fighting on the front
in France. No infantry engagements
are reported. Recent attacks by the
army of the German crown prince IN
the Argonne were made with powerful
artillery and heavy infantry forces in
an effort to break through the French
lines Paris adVices state. Although
some trenches were taken, the attempt
to break through failed, it is declared,
leaving the situation in the Argonne
essentially unchanged.
Sharp, but undecisive, fighting is in
progress along the Austro-Italian bat
tie line.

U. S. Troops Control Border.

situation now is under full control of
federal troops, Major General Funston
reported today to the war department,
the arrival of the Sixth cavalry brings
the force up to two full regiments
between FL Tigre Arroyo and Browns
vile, force sufficient, according to
the general, to put down any upris-
ing or trouble by marauding bands.
General Funston reported that with
the forces now under his command he
could patrol the entire Rio Grande
front from Laredo to the gulf.
1T is believed" General Funston s
message said, that with the force
now at my command, it will be pos
sible in the course of short time to
largely reduce, if not prevent, the
activities of armed bands who may be
maraudiag bands from the Mexican
side or outlaws and horse thieves from
the American side"
