SATURDAY EVENING, EMPEROR WILLIAM INVITED TO EXPLAIN [Continued From First Page.] exchange of diplomatic communica tions. Ready to Accept Excuse It Is understood that the State De partment's policy is to show the ut most deliberation consistent with the delicate question and to omit no op portunity of avoiding a severance of relations with Germany so long as there Is a reasonable expectation that a sufficient excuse can be given for the sinking of the Arabic. Secretary Lansing said he could do no more now than has been done and was continuing to await official in , formation as to the government's course. Also It has been reported that the I German embassy had evidence that j Captain Finch, of the Arabic, had been warned and attempted to escape be fore the torpedo was discharged.

Passengers and crew of the White Star liner Cymric asserted upon their arrival here to-day that the Cymric had been convoyed for thirty-six hours after leaving Liverpool, August 11, by relays of British warships, five in number, and that she had not been permitted to sail unaccompanied until the war zone had been left behind. Several newspapers said the periscope of a submarine had been seen, but officers of the Cymric de clined to discuss this assertion. The Cymric took virtually the same course as the Arabic, which also flew the White Star flag, on the latter's last westward trip which ended Thursday morning with her destruction by a Ger man submari/ie off the southern coast of Ireland. The Cymric carried 189 pas sengers. of whom 105 were in the steer age. From the time of casting off till the war zone was cleared, the passengers said the Cymric sailed in momentary readiness for a death blow. When the steamer left her dock the high flag pole recently erected at the mouth of the Mersey, where all outgoing ves sels could not fall to see it. displayed the warning that German submarines were lurking in nearby waters.

LOUIS [Continued From First Page.] tlon of the new levee save way and a wall of water from the Wood river rushed toward the towns of Woodriver, Benbow and East Alton, but two horsemen who Jhad stood watch at tho levee raced a hundred yards ahead ot the oncoming water, calling right and left. "Run for your lives!" In less than an hour the three towns were covered with ten feet of water, but not a soul had lingered. The popu lation of Woodriver and Benbow City raced for West Woodriver. while resi dents of East Alton took refuge In Alton. Two trains, a Chicago and Al ton from Kansas City and a Big Four from St. Louis, which were caught between two branches of the flood that rushed through the break in the levee, gave shelter for the night to scores of persons who had been rescued from roofs and upper windows of flooded homes. The water began to recede to-day. Washouts Reported Washouts and landslides were re ported all along the routes of the Mis souri Pacific, Iron Mountain and St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) systems. A dozen Missouri cities spent the night in total darkness, their power plants having been flooded. In St. Louis fifty men toiled all night to divert newly made streams which had begun to undermine the water works and threatened to break the big mains controlling the city's water sup pl>. This morning the Missouri naval reserves and the First Regiment of the Missouri National Guard joined in the rescue work and relieved police men and firemen who had spent the day and night In rowing or wading to flooded homes and carrying women and children to safety. Street Car Crews Busy The crews of stalled street cars near the western city limits constructed a huge raft of railroad ties and on this carried a score of families out of reach of the rapidly rising water. Springfield, Mo., reported that the damage to the Ozark peach crop would reach $500,000; the damage to corn is estimated at near $1,000,000; real estate men believe the damage to St. Louis building would be In the vi cinity of $1,000,000; two ammunition factories in East Alton suffered $<•50,000 damages when the Wood river levee broke.

M.—ln the course of the debate to day in the relchstag Dr. Eduard David, the Socialist leader, said: "There lives in the hearts of the German people, as in all other peoples, a longing for the day of restoration of peace.
