COUNT Won BERNSTORFF VISITS
WASHINGTON IN EFFORT TO
RELIEVE SITUATION.

Neutrality-suspicious. Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, returned to
Washington to initiate informal dis
Cussion with the American govern
ment supplementary to the note from
the Berlin Foreign Office regarding
the sinking of the Arabic, with the
hope of paving the way for formal ne
gotiations for adjustment of the situ-
alton growing out of the loss of Amer
ican lives in the tragedy.
The ambassador is optimistic in
spite of the growing serious concern
here over the state of relations be-
tween the United States and the Ger
manic allies, following the receipt Of
disappointing note from Germany
on the Arabic and the request from
the recall of Ambassador Dumba of
Austria. II is held in German circles
the Arabic note, with its reiteration
of the announcement that submarines
are under orders not to sink peaceful
liners without warning, Is lr accord
with assurances already given the
State Department and confidence IS
felt that an agreement can be reached
for arbitration of the question Of re.
paration.
President Wilson and SECRETARY
Lansing are considering the testimony
of survivors of the Arabic, all tending
t. show the Arabic was torpedoed
without warning while preceding
peacefully on the high seas.
Nothing has been heard officially
from Vienna regarding DR. Dumba.

bassador would be recalled without
making an issue Of his right to plan

ANTI.SALO0N LEAGUE BUSY
Declares That Before Election Can

One wet" and One
"Dry."

Little Rock
That prohibition will be a factor in
the election of every member OF the
Legislature at the next primary, was
the statement made by Senator T. c.
White of Pine Bluff, prohibition leader
in the last Legislature. Senator White
has worked in the interests OF the
Anti-Saloon League this summer.
"The announcement of the liquor
men that they will not initiate petit
tion for the repeal Of the prohibition
law shows plainly that they will bring
up the fight in the next Legislature,
he said, "The prohibition forces, par
ticularly the Anti-Saloon League, have
been busy since the legislature ad
journed, however, and will make the
liquor question an issue in the race OF
every candidate for the Legislature.
Prohibition also will be an issue in
the gubernatorial campaign. ! pre-
diet that before the primary election
the candidates will narrow down to
one wet and one dry"

WILSON ASKS RECALL
AMBASSADOR DUMBA
CAPT. FRANZ Won PAPEN, MILL
TARY ATTACHE OF GERMAN
EMBASSY, INVOLVED.

Washington. - President wilson's
request for the recall Of the Austrian
ambassador, DR.. Constantin Theodor
Dumba, has broadened into situa-
ton involving Capt. Franz Won Papen,
the military attache OF the German en-
bassy; Alexander Nuber Won Pereked,
the Austrian consul-general in New
York, and possibly Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador The
official view is that the ambassador,
although technically involved, is not
so seriously concerned as the military
attache or the consul-general. 1t Is
not unlikely that both the latter may
be recalled or dismissed from the
country.
Coupled with Germans disappoint.
ing and unsatisfactory explanation Of
the sinking of the White Star liner
Arabic, after Count Won Bernstorff had
given assurances that full satisfaction
would be given if it were established
that a German submarine sank the
ship, official Washington views the
friendly relations with the Germanic
powers strained more toward the
breaking point than ever before.
Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided were displac-
ed by misgivings, Talk of the possi'
bility of breaking diplomatic relations
was heard again, although this time 1t
involved both the central powers, on
the theory that Austria after having
her ambassador virtually dismissed
from the country might stand with her
ally in relations with the United
States
Unofficial reports that second note
had been started from the Berlin for.
eign Office for Washington furnished
about the only basis of optimism in
official quarters, so far as the subma.
rine controversy was concerned. There
was no official intimation that another
communication was on the way, but
the American reply to the Arabic note
probably will be delayed until officials
can learn whether to expect anything
additional from Berlin.
It may be stated, however, that il
nothing comes in the nature Of modi.
fcation of Germany's explanation, an
American note will reach Berlin prob.
ably early next week, which will set
forth the views Of the United States
In a brief and unmistakabe manner.

THE PRo.GERmAN FlNANClERS,
IT'S SAID, WOULD BE GLAD
TO ASSIST.
MAY WITHDRAW ALL FUNDS
1t Is Said Partisan Workers VIII
Show Their Displeasure With
Any Bank Participating
in the Loan.

New York.-The pro-German ele-
ment of New York's fnanciers prob
ably will be invited to participate in
floating the billion dollar credit loan
which Great Britain and France hope
TO establish in this country.
The pro-German fnanc.ers, it is
said. would be glad to have a chance
to help, but another faction composed
largely of Middle Western bankers,
with pro-German sympathies, would
bitterly oppose participation in raising
funds for Germany's enemies, even
though all the money will be spent in
the United States.
This was the big feature in the ne
gotiations of the AngloFrench finan-
cial commission with Wall street
bankers. Heretofore the commission
has conferred only with bankers who
sympathize with the allies.
A financier regarded as leader
among the half dozen or so really big
pro-German banking houses of New
York voiced this opinion:
There is no doubt in my mind that
many banking houses with Teutonic
affiliations might be induced to take
part in floating the credit loan, be-
cause it is necessary to maintain the
commerce and industries Of the
United States"
Some pro-German bankers high in
the councils of Wall street feel keen
ly the fact that their firms were not
invited to meet the members of the
commission.
However, it is gossip on Wall
street that pro-German bankers Of
Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Mil
waukee and other Middle Western
cities will bitterly oppose financing Of
the loan by American banks. These
bankers, it is said, will take active
steps to combat the tendency of other
banks to lend the money.
1t is said the more partisan work
ers declare that the pro-German de-
positors will show their displeasure
with any banks participating in the
proposed loan by withdrawing their
funds.
The commission felt that there was
no occasion for surprise, in fact that
there had been no surprise at the re-
port that no collateral would be Of
fered for the big loan. Mr.. Blackett,
secretary of the commission, would
say only that there is yet no definite
program and that many suggestions
will be considered. There had been
very little German agitation concern
ing the loan, he said. No authorita-
tive information as to terms of the
loan was available, though many re-
ports were broadcast.

Senator J. O. A. Bush of the legisla-
tive committee appointed 10 probe the
late State Board OF Charities and the
State Hospital for Nervous Diseases,
has announced that the committee
has been called TO meet here after an
adjournment extending over several
months The other members OF the
committee are Senator John Carter VI
Eudora, and Representatives w. L.
Cazort of Johnson county, w. o.
Young OF Benton county and Joe
Joiner OF Columbia county.
The evidence submitted TO the COM
mittee during its extended session last
spring has not been transcribed, with
exception Of that given by r. w. Hart,
secretary OF the old State Board of
Charities. a dispute as 10 the price
for transcribing resulted in a deadlock
between Fred l.. Satterfeld, the stem
ographer, and Senator Bush. At the
meeting some arrangement will be
made, it is supposed, to provide for
writing up of the remainder Of the
testimony.
When the committee adjourned sew
eral months ago it was understood
that another meeting, in which DR. j.
l.. Greene, former superintendent OF
the hospital was to cross-question Mr..
Hart, was to be held Or. Greene
now is in Indiana, however, and, ac-
cording TO letters received from him,
will not return to Arkansas until Oc.
tober.
1t is possible that the committee
will begin compiling its report with
out taking further evidence,
