KING OF THE HEJAZ"
DEFEATS The TURKS

LONDON. July 13.-Although little

developed that the king of the
Hejaz." the former grand sheriff OF
Mecca, has been continuing his ac-
tivity in Arabia This Arab leader,
who assumed his royal title by virtue
Of the sway he obtained over the
extensive Hejsz region, along the He'd
sea, has been in revolt against the
Turks since July, 1916, and recently
has apparently been extending his
authority northward.
Replying to a question In the House
Of Commons, James Ian Macpherson,
parliamentary secretary to the war
office, said that the Turkish posts
between the Talila-AIain district and
Akaba were now IN Arab hands The
total Turkish losses in the fighting
that has taken place were 100 killed
and 800 prisoners, including twenty
officers, he stated, while one noun
tain gun also was captured. A Turk

and the Hejaz railway damaged at

AIRMEN PLAN TO

Hampton. Va, Sept. 1s.--Plans for
solving the problem of delivering aero
planes to France by flying them across
the Atlantic and also the possibility Of
greatly increasing the production OF
aircraft by standardixing them inter.
nationally were discussed at the con-
ference of the officers of the Aero Club
o. America and the fiiers at the Cham
berlin hotel Sunday.
The decision was reached to prob.
ably make an endurance test by flying
across the country to San Francisco
and also by making a trip to New
York.
Details for these flights will be
worked out later and the opinion was
voiced among the aircraft men that
the trip to California will likely be at
tempted within the next several weeks.
while the trip to New York will prob.
ably take place most any day.@-======
The trips will be attempted in Ca.

II is unnecessary here for me to
go into the notes which were ex.
changed between the two govern
ments, because all that is already pub
tic property.
Some time after had delivered
our first Lusitania note Of May II,
1915, Zimmerman was funching with
US. A good looking American woman
married to a German was also of the
party. and after lunch, although I
was talking to some one else. over
heard part of her conversation with
Zimmerman.
When Zimmerman left / asked her
what IL was that he had said about
America, Germany. Mr.. Bryan and the
Lusitania. She then told me that she
had said to Zimmerman that IL was
a great pity. that we were to leave
Berlin, as it looked as IL diplmatic
relations between the two countries
would be broken and that thinner
m mn told her not to worry about
/ that, because they had just received

that DR.. Duuba the Austrian ambas-

First AS the result OF the Eng
lish effort to stop our foreign
commerce with GERMANY Ger
many would do everything in her
power 10 destroy English COM
merce and merchant shipping.
There was, however, never at any
time an intention TO destroy or
interfere with neutral commerce
or to attack neutral shipping un-
less engaged in contraband trade
In view Of the action Of the Brit
ish government in armng mer-
chant vessels and causing them
TO develop their national CharaC-
ter, the occasional destruction OF
neutral ship was unavoidable,
Naval officers IN command of SUBJ
marines had been instructed orisi-
nally, and new and more strin-
gent instructions had been issued
repeatedly to use the utmost care
consistent with their own safety,
to avoid attacks on neutral YES
sells.
Second In case a neutral ship
should be destroyed by a subma-
rine, the German government Is
prepared to make an immediate
and formal expression OF its re-
greet and TO pay an indemnity,
without having recourse to prize
court.
Third. Az reports with regard
TO the destruction of neutral
vessel by a German ? submarine
are Investigated at once by both
the German foreign office and
admiralty. and the result is COM
rnunicated TO the government con-
cerned, which is requested In
return to communicate to the
German government the re-
suit OF Its own independent in
vestigation. Where there Is any
material divergence In the two
reports as to the presumed cause
of destruction ttorpedo or mine),
the question is TO be submitted to
investigation by commission
composed OF Representatives of
the two nations concerned with a
neutral arbiter, whose decision
will be fnal. This course had al
ready been adopted In two cases,
in which a Dutch and a Norwe-

concerned The German govern
ment reserves its right to refuse
his international arbitration in eX-
ceptionai cases where for military q,
reasons the German admiralty is
opposed to its taking place.
Director kriege told Mr.. Jackson
that written communication in which
the substance Of the foregoing would
be contained would soon be made to
the embassy.
Mr.. Jackson put this conversation
down in the form given and showed
Director kriege a copy of it. Later
in the day Geheimrat Simon called on
Mr. jackson at the embassy and said
that DR., Kriege would like to have
point to read as follows: In case
through any unfortunate mistake a
neutral ship" etc, and that DIR. Kriege
would like TO change what was writ
ten on point three beginning with.
Where there is and continuing to
the end so that ii should read:
Where there is any material d.
vergence in the two reports as TO
the presumed cause of destruction

government has already in several
instances declared its readiness to
submit the question to the de-
cision of an international COM
mission, in accordance with The
Hague convention for the friend
~ settlement of international dis
putes.:
Geheimrat Simon said that this had
been suggested by Director krieee in
case 1t should be decided to make a
communication to the American press.
Mr.. Jackson told Geheimrat Simon
that he would report the subject of
his conversation, but that it would
depend upon me whether any COM
munication should be made to the
Am erican government or to the press
upon the suhjec t.-------
