President Prepares for Worst
in German Situation.
Plans for the Future Have Been
Decided Upon.
CONGRESS Will Be CALLED
Gigantic War Preparations
viii Be Begun at Once.
Germany Must Clear Her Skirts
Without Delay.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Information
obtained from a high official of the
administration reveals that President
Wilson and his advisers have agreed
upon the course this government will
follow if it becomes necessary to
break off diplomatic relations with
Germany
The entire plan is as follows:
If the facts show that the Arabic
was sunk without warning and eX-
tenuating circumstances and Ger
many offers no satisfactory account
of the affair, the administration be-
lieves its only course will be to sever
all diplomatic relations with that gov
eminent Having done this, congress
sion. There then will be no reason
to fear hot headed speeches that
might precipitate a crisis that al
ready had been reached.
Increase the Army.
Congress would be asked for an APP
preparation for putting the nation in
a condition of preparedness, aggre-
eating $500, 100000.
The regular army will be increased
to 100000 and provision made for re-
serves under the plan Of Secretary
Garrison that would bring the avail :
able army up to 100000.
Authorization will be asked for the
immediate construction of SIX super
dreadnoughts and at least two, and,
perhaps, three fast battle cruisers.
The submarine question will be
solved by authorization for an ade-
quate fleet of coast defense and sea
going craft of the latest type:
Provision wiz be MADE for many
fighting air Craft, including aero
planes, dirigibles and hydroplanes. A
very large appropriation will be asked
for this branch of the service.
Immediate attention Will be given
to a material increase in the coast de-
lenses and enlargement of the coast
defense artillery.
Work Night and Day.
All government arsenals will be en-
Iarged and every governmental indus
try put on a 24-hour basis.
The private manufacture Of NUM-
tions for the allies will be encour-
aged and the United States will give
it's moral support to aid the allies.
Army and navy officers will be de-
tailed to ali private munitions plants
to aid inspection work on the theory
that the development of these indus
trial plants will enable the United
States to obtain all the supplies it
tilities.
In cher words, if diplomatic rela
lions with Germany are severed, the
United States is to be the workshop
Austria, and the allies will have no
fear of the supply not equaling any
demand that may be made.
Boycott Teutons.
NO American InercIldluISe WOuIu ne
permitted to leave American ports
for possible German or Austrian con-
and munitions manufac-
tured here for the allies would be
by United States naval yes
sells.
1t is agreed that in the event of
actual war between the United States
and Germany it would be impractical
BILE for this country t" send trained
troops to the continent, but that the
navy would participate is a contin-
gcncy that has been contemplated

Many Arkansas Towns Suffer
in Wake of Flood.
Newport Is Isolated Except for
Long Distance Phone.
RAILROADS ARE UNDER WATER
City, Already Awash, Expects a
Farther Rise.
Four Thousand Refugees
Crowded Into Safety Zone.

Little Rock Ark, Aug. 24.-Little
Rock faces its fourth gas famine this
year as the result of a break in the
main at Red river, near Lewisvile,
caused by the high water. Local Of
ficials announced today that the sup
ply of gas would be exhausted by noon
tomorrow. This also affects Hot
Springs. Pine Bluff and a number of
other Arkansas towns.
Newport Cut Off.
Newport. this morning, is complete
" cut off from the outside world by
the flood waters of White river, eX-
cept for long distance telephone COM
munication. Direct connection was
resumed this morning after several
hours of uncertain service by an IN
direct route. Train service in and out
of Newport is entirely demorallzed,
the Iron Mountain main line and the
White river division tracks being COW
cred by water ranging from three to
twelve feet. Although the water has
risen but little since last night, when
it reached 33S, reports from points
above Newport indicate that a further
rise might be expected. All stores are
flooded and the only water supply is
from the Iron Mountain pumping sta
ton.
SuccOring the Victims.
General superintendent J. w. Dean,
of the Iron Mountain, is in personal
charge of the work on the railroad
tracks and is aiding in rescue work.
About 1000 residents of Newport
and vicinity are crowded into two To-
cal hotels, the courthouse, the Iron
Mountain depot and few homes into
which the water did not rise.
Famine i'm Valley Park, Mo.
St Louis, Mo, Aug. 24.-Two thou
sand residents of Valley Park. Mo,
who were made homeless last Sunday
when the thirty five-foot rise of the
Meramec flooded that entire town
with ten to fifteen feet of water, today
faced food and drinking water
shortage which threatened to result
disastrously. Twenty-Five truck loads
of food were rushed to the flood refu-
gees from the suburbs of st. Louis
yesterday, but this was consumed be-
fore the night was over. A committee
of St. Louis business men will meet in
the mayors office today to plan
speedy and permanent relief.
The flood waters receded six feet
last night and then stopped, the high
water of the Mississippi being unable
to carry off the load of all its swollen
tributaries.
Active work to prevent pestilence in
the flood swept towns and resorts
along the Meramec river valley,
which was flooded Sunday, began to-
day. The city waterworks of Valley
Park, is out of commission, and most
of the drinking water in the town
comes from u well on q church lot !
Most of the other wells are contain
mated.
Officials of St Louis county today
gave orders that no one should stay
in house in the flooded district /
longer than a few minutes. Several /
refugees visited their homes today but
each was accompanied by 4 deputy /
sheriff who insisted that the refugee
leave as soon as he had gathered u
few necessary belongings and inspect
ed the damage.

crude attempt to blackmail the
Farmers National bank of Topeka for
$1,000 failed Monday evening when
the ''black handlers evidently were
attacked by a serious case of cold feet
In the afternoons mail to the bank

that the bank send the amount to the
Fifth Avenue hotel and leave it with
the clerk. The letter was to be sent
to the hote. by a bank clerk who was
directed to carry it in his right hand
as an acknowledgment of good faith.
Officials of the bank, upon receiv-
ing the letter. called the police who
decided to trap the writers of the mis-
