CABINET TO CON.
 FER ON SITUATION
United States Officials will Have Germany's Failure Grant De- mand Before Them Tuesday. Note Will Be Short.

Washington, July 16.-The situation that has arisen between Germany and the United States over Germany's fail ure to grant the American demands will be laid before the cabinet next Tuesday. Several drafts of the note setting forth the course which the United States intends to follow as the result of the German reply have been prepared and will be discussed by the president with Secretary Lansing Monday and submitted to the cabinet the next day. Although officials are generally reticent, the purpose of the United States to continue to assert it's rights on the high seas probably will be definitely announced in the next note.
 It was stated in high quarters that the new note very likely would in- dulge in no very extended discussion of the principles already stated. It was also asserted there was little like lihood that the United States would subordinate the Lusitania case or as sertion of it's rights to the intimation from Germany of a willingness to have the United States to mediate be- tween Great Britain and Germany in order to restore recognition of the principle of the freedom of the seas.
 Much stress was placed on this point by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, in an informal interview with Secretary Lansing to- day, but high officials recalled that one effort to mediate already has failed, indicating that the step would not be repeated unles specific request was made.
 Count von Bernstorff exchanged views with Secretary Lansing and sent a long report to Berlin. The in terview, it was believed, might have tangible results during later negotia- tions. The ambassador expressed con- fdence that the situation was not cri- tical and that a rupture of relations seemed impossible.

FORMER ARKANSAS
 MAN MAKES GOOD
George H. Lee Former Passen- ger Agent Rock Island Ap- pointed to Similar Position Le- high Valley, at New York.

Little Rock, July 17.-Arkansas men have a way of making good wherever you put them. If roster of those who have gone to other states and become leaders were com piled, it would demonstrate that that fictitious person whom Sandy" Faulk- ner used to tell about has been so far out-distinced that he can never be heard from again except through would-be humorists.
 The latest evidence of this is the recognition that has come to George H. Lee, for several years General Pas senger Agent of the Rock Island Lines in St. Louis, who has just been ap- point to a similar position on the Le- high Valley, with headquarters in New York. It is considerable promotion that has been won by devotion to duty and marked ability. Mr. Lee strted a few years ago as a clerk in the offices of the old Little Rock & Memphis railroad in Little Rock. That was before the coming of the Choc- taw, which preceded the Rock Island He made good there and his advance ment has been gradual but steady.
 John G. Lonsdale, formerly of Hot Springs, is another Arkansas boy who has won a high position in the finan- cial world of New York. And when one of the biggest filures of last year occurred in New York, and they were looking for a man to help them out of the financial mire, they came to Little Rock for a fiscal agent. Sam w. Reyburn of the Union Trust Com pany was selected at a bigger salary than anybody gets for anything ir Arkansas, and he is holding down the job. And there have been many others.

The Grand Jury adjourned this morning at nine o'clock. There were th;,tv- three indictments found and a ,,,,her of recommendations and com- mendations given out. The following is t,,e report in full:
 Tn His Honor. George R. Haynie,
 Idge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit
 We. the Grand Jury of the July Term of Circuit Court of Nevada County. Arkansas, now in session, res pectfully submit the following report:
 We have examined ninety eight wit nesses and found thirty three bills. No effort has been spared by either the officers and deputies of this court, or this Jury to bring before the Jury witnesses to offenses against the law, and find bills, where, in our opinion the evidence warranted.
 We have inspected all calibooses of the county. and the county jail and find in sanitary condition. The prisoners now confined in the county iail. say that they are courteously treated and well fed. We recommend that the inside of the south side of the county jail be repaired at once as we find some loose bricks in the wall. We also recommend that separate room be built for white prisoners.
 The Courthouse Building and yard were inspected. We find all occupied offices neat and clean. All books in the vaults systematically arranged and legal papers properly filed. We recommend that the unoccupied offices, witness rooms. toilets in the witness rooms and basement, and basement, be kept in a more sanitary condition. We feel that the janitor has been neg ligent along this line. The Courtyard is neatly kept; the plants, shrubs, flowers artistically and tremendously arranged adding much to the pleasing appearance of the building and we feel that measure of thanks is due to the persons who have been instrument tai in having this done.
 No detail examination was made by the Jury of our County Records, We accepting as correct the report of the Commissioners of Account, sub mitted to His Honor, Judge c. R. Haynie. We recommend, however. that the proper County Officers order the Constables who are behind with thelr settlements as mentioned in the report of the Commissioners to come before them and make proper setle- ments at once.

 "We find there are six inmates. And so far as we are able to deter mine they are well cared for.
