assistance on the part of those as
sociated with the Parent-Teacher
movement.
An enjoyable number of the even
ingls program was the address of Mr..
Higgins, the national vice-president OF
the national congress. The speaker

a pleasing delivery and her descrip-
tion of the trip of the delegates to
California and Oregon kept the rapt
attention of her audience.

the Vermont branch, Mrs. Henry
A. Harman of Rutland, was
q resume of the cause of the
Pacent-Teacher association in Yer
mont since the state branch was or
ganized in 1912. During these three
years 35 associations have been form
ed in the state and the work of the
Vermont branch has increased stead
lily through the generosity of the in
terested. A great help has been the
assurance of the expense of state
organizer The president has writ
ten many letters and has been en-
abled to meet the superintendents
personally and to place before them
the purposes of the organization.
The sessions have been made par
ticularly enjoyable to the delegates
and visitors by the presence of Mad
anne Ravi-Brooks of Manchester. It
is but seldom that Bennington people
have opportunities Of hearing such
talented vocalist and the applause
which followed every effort demon
stratcd the high appreciation OF her
audience.

UPHOLDs CAPTAIN
OF U-BOAI Who
SANK ARABIC
Germany Claims Liner Attempted
to Ram Submarine
NOT LIABLE FOR IDtMN|1Y
Willing to Submit Differences of OPP
inon to The Hague
Tribunal.

Washington, Sept 9-Germany'
note to the United States bearing on
the sinking of the White Star line
steamer Arabic on August 10, which
was communicated to the American
ambassador, James w. Gerard for
transmission to Washington, is in the
| form of memorandum under the
date of September Z, says dispatch
from Berlin, the text of which fol-
lows:-
"On August 10 a German submar-
inc stopped the English steamer Duns
lev about l6 nautical miles south OF
Kinsale, and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by guniire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this
moment the commander saw a large
steamer making directly toward him.
The steamer. as developed later. was
the Arabic. She was recognized as
an enemy vessel, as she did not fly
any flag and bore no neutral mark
ingr,
When she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submar-
inc. From this the commander be-
came convinced that the steamer had
the Intention of attacking and ram
ming him In order TO anticipate
this attack, he gave orders for the
submarine to dive and fired tor
pedo at the steamer After firing, he
convinced himself that the people on
board were being rescued in 10 boats.
According to- his Instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
cut saving the lives, unless the ship
attempted to escape or offered resist
ance. He was forced, however, TO
conclude from the attendant circum
stances that the Arabic planned a
violent attack on the submarine.
"This conclusion Is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fred upon alta
great distance in the Irish sea on
August 14-that is, a few days before
by large passenger steamer, ap-
parently of the British Royal Mail
steam packet company which he had
neither attacked nor stopped.
"The German government most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the command
er 1t particularly expresses this re-
gret TO the government of the United
gs4 - I, %
American citizens.
"The German government is unable
however, to acknowledge any obli-
CATION to grant idemnity in the mat
ter, even if the commander should
have been mistaken as to the aggres-
sive intentions of the Arabic.
IF it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach
harmonious opinion on this point,
the German government would be pre-
pared to submit the difference of
opinion, as being a question of inter
national law, to the Hague tribunal
for arbitration, pursuant to article
50 of the Hague conference for the
pacific settlement of international
disputes.
"In SO doing, it assumes that, as a
matter of course, the arbitral decis-
ion will not be admitted to have the
importance of general decision on
the permissibility or the converse
under international law of German
submarine warfare.

London, Sept 9.-The German
Prince IS making another determined
attempt to break through the French
lines in the Argonne, and, according
TO the Berlin official statement. has
succeeded in taking trenches over a
frpnt OF two kilometers lone and a
quarter milesl and to a depth of
from 300 to 500 meters, capturing
1000 prisoners, forty-eight machine
guns, and sixty-four mine throwers.
This is the second effort of the Ger
man Emperor's heir to win victory
in this region with in the last three
months, and, although on each occas-
ion he gained a small amount of
ground, he is apparently as far from
his objective this time as on the prev
ious occasion.
This, doubtless, is the German re-
ply to the artillery bombardment
which the Allies kept up for fifteen
days, but which now seems to be dy-
ing down, without any infantry at
tacks following ii, as had been antici
pated Instead except for heavy
gun action south OF Arras, bomb
throwing seems to have taken its
place.
