Berlin. April 24.--1he outcome of
the present crisis depends on what
President Wilson and the American
government want The general view
of the present situation as cleaned
from conversations wpith a number
of persons close to official circles is
about as follows:
'If President Wilson and the Amer
lean government are arguing that ear
lier concession by Germany nave not
been adhered TO and insist that the
submarine campaign be conducted
without deviation to the limits of Ger
man assurances and pledges III fof-
mer notes, then a. settlement probably
can be arranged, Notwithstanding
what is considered the sharp ana
unfriendly tone OF the American
note. The pledges probably can be
re-stated, If need be, and definitely
formulated anew, so that there can
be no possibility of error or question
of responsibility
''If, however the United States IN
sists on further limitation OF the sub
marine war against commerce. then
there appears to be little chance OF
agreement for a satisfactory settle
ment, and 1t Is considered that
breach of diplomatic relations. If it
should come, would, in all probability,
be only a temporary status and would
soon develop into an actual state OF
war"
This Is not official or authoritative,
but represents the opinion Of persons
who are in position to be well-in-
formed. Nnese persons carefully re-
Trained from making definite or au-
thoritative predictions, and specified
that they were voicing ther own opin-
ions, but these may possibly be straws

Day To Be Best Ever.
AS the time draws near for the
great annual fair indications point
more strongly to the greater sue
cess in every line than has ever
been known before in the Is years
of success which the Arkansas Val
ley Fair association has enjoyed
and that all records will be broken
as OF attendance is warranted by
the greater interest that is being
taken all over the eastern part of
the state, and as before stated one
of the greatest problems that is
confronting the fair management is
to find room for all the exhibits
that are being entered.
The track was never in better
condition and by fair time will be
the fastest in its history, which
goes long way toward insuring
some great races. The concession
ground is being rapidly disposed
of and the show row promises to
break all records for size and varie-
ty of attractions.
The watermelon crop in the val
ley is the best for years, the early
varieties being already on the mar
ket, but the later melons are al
ways the best and by fair time
there will be melons for the pile the
like of which have not been grown
In the valley for years and there
will be plenty for everybody.
There will be plenty of amuse-
ment on the track this year for in
addition to the regular harness
and running races there will be
a harness race for three year Odds
who this year will be made to trot
if any money is expected, as they
must turn the track in three min
utes or under to get into any OF
the monies.
There will be four bands OF mus
ic Watermelon day and all thru
the fair there will be afternoon
concerts. Invitations have been ex-
tended to a large number of prom
inent men in this and other states,
many of whom have declared their
intention of attending and there
promises to be the greatest gath
ering of public men on Watermel
on day ever assembled in this
county.
