THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. 5111 61 E German Military Attache's Let ter Offensive to U. S. ARABIC NOTE RENEWS CRISIS Consul-General Alio Slated To Co. Diplomatic House Cleaning May Result In Ousting Von Bernstorff. Washington. President Wilson's re quest for the recall of the Austrian Ambassador, Ir. Constantln Theodor Dumba, haH broadened Into a (lluatl(in Involving Capt. Franz von Papen, the military attache of the German em bassy; Alexander Nuber von Pereked, the Austrian Consul-General in New York, and possibly Count von Iiern Ktorff, the German Ambassador. The official view Is that the Am bassador, although technically in volved, Is not so seriously concerned a the military attache or the Consul General. It Is not unlikely that both cf the latter may be recalled or dis missed from the country. Criticized U. S. Officials. Captain von Papen Is Involved In the Dumba case because he forwarded by James r. J. Archibald, the American correspondent traveling under an Americun passport, a personal letter In which he made offensive statements about American officials. Moreover, Anil.assador Dumba's letter to the Vienna Foreign Office, found on Archibald, mentioned Von Papen as having approved what the State De partment In Its note to the Austro Hungarian Government characterized an a conspiracy to cripple the legiti mate industries of the I'nlted States. Consul-General Nuber is drawn into the case because the Dumba letter dis closed that he was connected with the strike plan. Editor's Case Considered. High officials indicated that the Government would take steps of some kind against the editor of a Hungarian newspaper in this country from whom a memorandum was Inclosed In the Dumba letter outlining carefully pre pared plans for putting Into effect the Mheme for handicapping munitions plants. Count von Bernstorff Is involved technically because Archibald carried letter for him. but as it was a copy cf a statement previously made to the Ambassador by Secretary Lansing, wholly of an Innocuous character, offi cials do not regard the German Am bassador's status in the affair as ap proaching that of his military attache or the Austrian Consul-General. Waiting On Vienna. It is quite probable that until the Vienna Foreign Office replies to the request for the withdrawal of Dr. Dumba nothing further will be done In his case, nor In the cases of Von Tapen or Nuber. If the receipt of documentary evidence bears out the Information now in the hands of the State department, officials would not be surprised to see both men with drawn by their home Government or, as n final resort, dismissed from the country. BERLIN'S ARABIC NOTE IS DISAPPOINTING Defense Of U-Boat Comes As a Shock. Regarded As Repudiation Of Von Bernstorff's Pledge To United States. Washington. The sinking of the Arabir by a German submarine looms up again as an inrldent which still may be denounced by this Government as a "deliberately unfriendly act." Germany's dlasppointing and un satisfactory explanation of the tor pedoing of the liner after Count von Bernstorff had given assurances that full satisfaction would be given if it was established .that a German sub marine sank the ship has strained this country's friendly relations with Ger many more toward the breaking point than ever before, In the belief of offi cial Washington. Second Note Rumored. !!ops that the submarine crisis had been safely passed and that a break between Germany and the I'nited Flairs bad been avoided were dis placed by misgivings. Talk of the pos sibility of breaking diplomatic rela tions was heard again, although this time it involved both the central pow ers, on the theory that Austria, after having her Ambassador practically dis missed from the country, might stand with her ally in relations with the United States. RIGA'S PLIGHT CRAVE. Germans Moving In To Force Evacua tion Of Baltic Port. London. The menace to Riga, an Important Russian seaport in the Baltic, is becoming more serious. The Germans still hold the bridge-head at Friedrlchstaclt, the occupation of which effectively cuts off Riga's rail way communication south, while Ger man aircraft are active in the gulf, perhaps presaging another naval clash as part of a concerted German move ARMENIAN MARTYRS. Women Sent To Harems and Children Are Sold At Auction, Milan. Arcording to informa'ion from Bucharest 8i'0,fi(.0 Armenians have been deported from Caesarea, Trettzond, Erzerum and other cities in Asia Minor to the Interior of Tur key. Hardly a third of these aro ar riving at their destination. The wom en and girls are rent to Turkish hunms and auction sales of Armenian babies from one month to two years BECOMING 61 I'nofflcial reports that a second note aid been started from the Berlin For ign Office for Washington furnished about the only basis of optimism in ff!elnl quarters, so far as the sub marine controversy was concerned. There wan no official intimation that nnother communication wan on the vay, but the American reply to the no'e on the Arabic probably will be delayed until officials can lenrn whether to expect auythlng additional from Berlin. Sharp Reply Expected. It may be stated, however, that If nothing comes In the nature of a modi fication of Germany's explanation an American note will reach Berlin which will set forth the views of the United States in a brief and unmistakable manner. Germany's declaration that, while she regrets the loss of Americans, she recognizes no liability for Indemnity, even if the submarine commander was mistaken in believing the Arabic was i'bout to attack him, and practically offering to arbitrate the principle. Is regarded In official circles as leaving the whole submarine question practi cally where It was left by the Berlin Government's unresponsive attitude toward the Lusltanla negotiations and in remarkable contravention of the favorable view which State depart ment officials had been led to take by the statements of the German Ambassador. CARRANZA REJECTS PLAN. Refuses To Acquiesce In Pan-American Peace Proposal. Vera Cruz. Gen. Venustinno Car ranza, first chief of the Constitution alist party, has declined to acquiesce In the invitation of the diplomatic representatives of the I'nlted States and the Latin-American countries that he Join the leaders of the various fac tions in Mexico in an endeavor to bring about peace. The reply of General Carranza, which was handed to John H. Sllli man, President Wilson's representa tive in Mexico, said that General Car ranza could not consent that the inte rior affairs of the republic be handled by mediation, or by the Initiative of any foreign government. In the reply It is asserted that if Carranza were to enter the proposed conference "he would Impair profound ly the independence of the republic and would establish the precedent of foreign interference in the determina tion of its interior affairs." MEXICAN POLICY CHANGED. Carranza Growing In Favor With Pan American Conferees. Washington. Inasmuch as Ambas sador Naon, of Argentina, one of the principal members of the Pan-American Conference that submitted peace parley proposals to prominent Mexi can military and civilian leaders, is scheduled to sail for home Wednes day on leave of absence, It is under stood that the conference will be re convened in this city Tuesday. As military conditions In Mexico have materially changed since the confer ence met last, it is not Improbable that a new policy may be adopted at the coming session. Secretary Lansing said that he has not yet Issued the call for the confer ence, but this Is a detail that may be quickly attended to. All of the diplo mats Interested are within a few hours of Washington. The Secretary also stated that he had not had the time to take up Carranza's reply to the communication of the conference.

HOME BILLION BUSHE WHEAT YIELD Several Crops Will Be the Lar gest Ever Grown. CONDITIONS MUCH IMPROVED Total Yield For Year Likely To Reach 1,000,000,000 Bushels. Corn Procpects Show Improvement. Washington. Bumper crops this year, with a half dozen new produc tion records, now seem assured. Basing predictions on a canvass made September 1 by its thousands of agents throughout the United States the Department of Agriculture issued forecasts showing the prospect:) of practically all the principal farm crops, except potatoes and rice, im proved during August. The wheat crop Is placed at 981,000, Ono bushels, $0,000,000 bushels more than last yenr's record crop. Wet weather had damaged winter wheat and delnyed thrashing. In Knnsas not more than half the crop has been thrashed. Additional Inquiries by crop reporters this month, however,' resulted in the crop reporting board making no change In Its August pre diction of 659,000,000 bushels of winter wheat. Conditions for the spring wheat crop have been Ideal lately and thrashing discloses yields above the average nnd of excellent quality. As a result of the favorable condi tions the spring wheat production forecast was increased 15.000.000 bushels to a total of 322,000,000 ! bushels. When the final canvass is j made the entire wheat production probably will reach 1,000,000,000 bush-1 els. 1 Corn production prospects increased ; B7.000.000 bushels during August, the ' forecast now being 2,985,000,000 bush- j els. Although that exceeds last year's 1 rrnn bv more than 110 0(10 000 hnshels It falls 139,000,000 bushels short of the record crop of 1912. Oats may reach a recorl, the Sep tember forecast being 1,408,000.000 bushels, which Is 267,000,000 bushels more than was harvested last year, but 10,000,000 bushels below the rec ord crop of 1P12. The condition of white potatoes took a decided drop during August, result ing In a decrease ot 25,000,000 bushels In the estimates of productoln. The September forecast Is 406,000,000 bush els. 14.000,000 bushels below the 1912 record crop. Indications point to record crops of barley, rye, sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice and hay. The apple nnd peach crops also are far above the average in production. PRODUCES COLORED COTTON. South Carolina Planter Predicts Black Staple Soon. Savannah, Ga.

NO OBLIGATION ADMITTED This Even if Commander of Submarine Erred. Communication Says the Officer In Charge Of the Submarine Was Con vlnced That British Steamship Had ' Intention Of Attacking and Ram ming Him Loss Of American Lives Deplored Would Submit Any Dif ference Of Opinion To The Hague. Berlin (via London). In its note to the United States on the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic the Ger man government says that It "most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander; It particularly expresses this reeret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citizens," and adds: "The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obliga tlon to grant Indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intention of the Arabic.'' Germany's note lo the United Stntes bearing c,n the sinking of the White Star Line steamer Arabic on Ausust 19, which was communicated to the American Ambassador, James W. Ger ard, for trammlsslon to Washington is in the form of a memorandum under date of September 7, and the text of which follows: Submarine Feared Attack. "On August 19 a German submarine stopped the English steamer Dunsley about 15 nautical miles south of Kin- sale, and was on the point of sinking the prize by gun fire after the crew had left the versel. At this moment the commander raw a large steamer making directly toward him. This 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 markings. "When she approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed directly toward the submarine. From this the commander bcame con vinced that the steamer had the Inten tion of attacking nnd ramming him. "In order to anticipate this Rttack he pave orders for the submarine to dive and fired a torpedo nt the steam er. After firing he convinced himself that the people on board were being resrtied In 15 boats. "According to his Instructions the commander was not allowed to at tack the Arabic without warning and without saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistance. He was forced, however, to conclude from thp attendant cir cumstances that the Arabic planned n violent attack on the submarine. "This conclusion Is all the more ob vious as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish Sen on August 14 that Is, a few days before by n large pnssenger steamer, ap parently belonging to the British Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which he had neither nttacked nor stopped. Regrets, But No Indemnity. "The German government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the nction of the commander. It particularly expresses this regret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citizens. "The German government Is un nble, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant Indemnity In the matter, even If the commandeY should hove 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 nnd American governments to reach , harmonious opinion on this point, the German government would be pre pnred to submit the difference of opin ion, ns being a question of Interna tional law, to The Hague tribunal for nrbltrntion, pursuant to article 38 of The Hague convention for the pacific settlement of international disputes. "In so doing it assumes that as a matter of course the arbitral decision shall not be admitted to have the Im portance of n general decision on the permissibility or the converse under International law of German sub marine warfare."

TUG OF IR ON EASTERN FR0N1 Battles Raging From Riga to ths Galliclan Border. RUSSIANS CLAIM SUCCESS Germans' Big Effort Expected To Bt Made Against Vilna and Dvinik, Serious Engagements In P reg ress In That Direction. London. There Is still no sign ot waning In the battles which are being fought along the eastern front that now runs almost directly north and routh from Riga to the Roumanian frontier. From Rita southward to the Gallcian border the Germans and Am trians, who are continually receiving reinforcements nnd supplies of niuni Hons by railway and .iver, are en deavoring to force their way to tin Dvlna and the main trunk of the in portant railway lines. The Russians continue their ofTen r.ive nnd, according to their acccunti, with excellent results. The Auftm German offensive is making slow bi' steady headway, particularly along thp read to Slonim and Plnsli. Elsewhere the German official reports dally re count the capture of a few thousand prisoners with machine guns. Next Big Movement The Germans' big effort, however, it is expected, will be made ng.w Vilna nnd Dvinsk, westward of which town heavy engagements are bein$ fought. Having reached the Dvina a: Frlediich.itadt nnd driven the Russian across the river the Germans are a a better position to advance on Dvinsk. ns there Is no danger of any outflank ing movement. The rlowncrs of tlf operations probably is duo largely to the condition of the country and the heavy roads. Every day's delay Is giving the slans a breathing spnee and cnnblw them to make preparations for grcatei resli'.tnnce on chosen lines protected by marshes nnd swollen rivers. The Russians are Increasing their activities In the Caucasus, nnd It l believed that the arrival of Graci Duke Nicholas will be the signal for more Important operations, which wil! lessen the burden of the Allies who art trying to force the Dardanelles. Jin report has been received from the lat ter front for upward of a week frerr the Allies, although it Is apparel' from the Turkish reports that then has been a considerable amount o! fighting. An optimistic rumor, he ever. Is again afloat, probably due t the statement recently issued by Lord Robert Cecil, undersecretary for for eign affair, that the Allies are not far from a great success. On the West Front. There has been little or no cesFi tlon of the artillery engagements en the western front. A few isolated at tacks by German Infantry have taken place, but, according to Paris, have been repulsed, and there have beer, further air raids and much borr-b throwing. "To the north of Arras, in the fee tor of Neuville, the struggle was con tinued by a cannonade on both fid?, and the throwing of grenades. Therf was a bombardment of the most vie lent character to the south of the Scarpfv in the region of Roye, and to the north of the Alsne, between I'aiwy and Craonneville. "A new attack by the enemy agninf! our advince posts at Snplgneul repulsed, like those which preceded It "To the south of Lelntrey our ar tillery operated effectively against the positions of the enemy.
