BERLIN TO ANSWER
 ULTIMATUM TODAY
Germany's Note is Ready to De- liver to American Embassy Contains Instructions Given to Commanders Submarines.

Berlin, May g. via Wireless to the Associated Press, via Sayville-The Germas reply to the American note on submarine warfare may be expected momentarily. It now appears, how ever, that it will be handed to the American embassy Thursday. Fol lowing the submission of the German reply, the center of gravity in the situation will rest in Washington, where it must be decided whether the proposal which Germany makes meets the conditions of the last paragraph of the American note.
 The conference of high German au- thorities at headquarters has been concluded and Dr. Bethmann-H Hollweg, the imperial chancellor it is said, will start this afternoon for Berlin.
 Ambassador Gerard visited Foreign Minister von Jagow here this morning The reply is subject to minor altera- tions, which may result from inter- changes of views between Berlis and general headquarters.
 The attitude of Germany will be stated in clear and precise terms. The note will leave no room for doubt con corning Germany's position. The note will communicate the nature of in- structions that will be given to sub marine commanders and other data on which Washington can judge of the situation.
 The German reply will not decide whether a breach will come between the United States and Germany, ac- cording to the Koelniche Volks Zei- tung. The decision, this newspaper says, will rest entirely with President Wilson.

MATERIAL DEVELOP
 MENT CONTINUES
Clear Creek Oil X Gas Company. Fort Smith Authorized to Sell $15,O0O Capital Stock-Owns First Kibler Gas We'll.

Little Rock, May 1.-The material development of the state continues at rapid pace, as indicated by the rec ords of interpretations at the offices in the state house. The Clear Creek Oil and Gas Company of Fort Smith has been authorized by the Blue Sky Department of the Banking Commis- sion, to sell $15,O00 of it's capital stock. It is capitalized at $50,O0O, and the stock sells at the rate of $500 for each $100 share.

The company has two contracts which. if they are able to carry them out. will be worth $220,0OO a year. The company has leases on 10000 acres of land in Crawford, Sebastian and Franklin counties and the work of developing other wells is to be con- tinued. J. F. McGehee is president. and Scott Robinson secretary.
 The George Washington Mining Company of Buffalo, Marion county, has been incorporated with a capital stock of $10,000. The officers are F.. R. Millhouse president, George l.. Vogt vice president, and c. J. Schil- Ter secretary treasurer.

WARRANTS SELLING
 AROUND 0SC NOW
Scrip May Go to Par Within Few Weeks, When Collectors Will Have Made Returns to Treasurer.

Warrants on the States general revenue fund, selling for as low as 94 cents on the dollar last fall, now are bringing 98 cents and, in isolated in- stances, go cents. By the latter part of next month it is probable that war rants will not be obtainable for less than par, as in July and August set dement's by collectors, it is believed, will take up all the outstanding war rants and place a small balance of cash in the treasury.
 The fund now is approximately S500,000 behind.
 Mack Morton, collector of Wash ington county, Wednesday paid in $S,570,4S into the fund, but the entire amount was in warrants. MT. Morton has paid an aggregate of $17,000 in lon his general revenue settlement, leaving about $1,000 yet to be paid. All of his payments have been in warrants.

WEEK MUST BRING
 SOMETHING DEFINITE

Washington, May 3.-Presidens Wilson, Secretary Lansing and Col onel F. M. House held a long confer ence tonight at the White House. It is understood the submarine situa- tion was discussed, but Secretary Lansing said later he had no word from Berlin regarding the character of the German note, which press dispatches said probably would be handed to Ambassador Gerard to- morrow.
 The president and his advisers are keeping their minds open while they wait for the German note. The long delay has created a bad impression, however, and it was stated today the issue would have to be cleared up this week if diplomatic relations were to continue.
 The president is known to be un- alterably determined to adhere strict ly to the position assumed by the United States that Germany immedi- ately declare and effect an abandon ment of it's present methods of sub marine warfare.

To detect electricai. troubles the rule
10 to study the symptoms and then make
a diagnosis. Since the starting and
lighting systems can be regarded az in
dependent Of each other. the two main
diviaions which suggest themselves i'm
mediately are troubles in the lighting
system and troubles in the starting sys-
TENS.
Improper lighting operation is indi-
Gated in three ways:
Case l--Ensine stopped. lights out or
dim.
Case ?-Ensine running. lights out or
dim.
Case 3-Some lamps brlghts. others
dim or out.
Taking up Case I with engine stopped
and lights out or dim. there are two
possibilities: A-Battery discharge Que
to some failure in the battery circuit or
In the battery Itself. or. B-Open cir
cults In the wiring system.
Battery discharge as a symptom i'm
mediately suggests short circuit. This
may be In the wiring OF the lamps and
their fittings. In the battery. In the cir
cult breaking or regulating mechanism
or In a grounded generator. In fact. al.
most any part OF this circuit is suscep.
tible.
The connections at the lamps some
times give short circuits due TO poo
