ARABIC BERLIN'S ANSWER Slntln; of Vessel Viewed as lYo.il " Proof of Unwisdom of Xot In sisting on Preparation for War IS Months Ago. OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. Aug. 21. Theo dore Roosevelt Issued the following statement here tonight: I see this suggested In the paper, that the German answer to our last note, that Is the sinking of the Arabic by-a German submarine and the conse quent murder of certain American clt lsens, will be adequately met by the Administration's dismissing- Bernstorff snd severing diplomatic relations with Germany. I earnestly hope the Admin istration will not take this view, for to do so would be a fresh sacrifice of American honor and interest. "The President's note to Germany in February last was an excellent note, if only Jt had been lived up to. But every subsequent note has represented nothing but weakness and timidity on our side, and th sinking of tha Lust tanla and of the Arabic, the attacka on the Gulfllght and the Falaba and all the similar Incidents that have occurred represent tha arrogant answers which this weakness haa inspired. Germany will care nothing for the mere sever ance of diplomatic relations. The time for words on the part of this Nation has long passed; and it Is inconceivable to American citixens who claims to be Inheritors of the traditions of Washington and Lincoln, that our governmental representatives shall not see that the time for deeds has come. What Just occurred is a fresh and la mentable proof of the unwisdom of our people In not having insisted upon the beginning of active military prepared ness 11 months ago." SAURIANS PROVE BURDEN Liver) man Worried by Circus Ie nasrrie Held for Debt. PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 15. What to do with seven alligators and a croco- rdtl that had been placed 4n the livery stable of James Kelly, of Darby, on ac count of the failure of a circus man to pay for some hauling, proved such a troublesome problem that Kelly phoned to tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and asked that the reptiles be taken off his hands. Kelly had a small menagerie in his stabl. including some canary birds, several Shetland ponies and monkeys, ss well as amusement devices. He was able to take care of everything ex cent the alligators and the crocodile. The first thing the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals did was to buy six pounds of raw beef and reed the creatures, which - were nearly starved. " The circus failed to pay a bill of US' to Joseph Hlushbaum, of Chester. Nine teen performers were temporarily out of employment aa a result of the finan cial difficulties of the circus and they erected a tent near Kelly's stable and are living there.

I1VC B Written State-- ment of alleged toasts to the Iaiser and the success of the German arms, at the Imperial restaurant, Astoria, Friday night by United Etatcs Army officers, will forward the letter to the War Department with the names of witnesses obtained by Mr. Shepherd. The communication recites that the officers were Captain Leonard T. Wal dron, commanding the 3d company of Coast Artillery, and Lieutenant Har old L. Gardner, both stationed at Fort Stevens. Mr. Shepherd. E. W. Wright, manager of the Port of Portland: Har bormaster J. Speler and City Attorney W. P.

Dr. Woerner and Dr. Hastman, and Max Pudllch, a fish buyer, all of Astoria. Dr. Woerner formerly resided at Port land. Those who overheard remarks maae at the. time took the stand that It was out of place for officers of the Army to participate In such toasts in pub lic, particularly after instructions have been given for officers and oth ers In the Government service to re frain from discussing the European war and which were even transmitted to employes of the Government in the Custom House bulldlnc. The oomplaint Is largely based on a toast having been drunk to "Deuthscn lond Uber Alles" and "Germany For ever." while some of the witnesses say the gains of the German army Into Russia was discussed in a manner to indicate those drinking at the table were pleased with the advances made. ALL DEXY SHEPHERD CHARGE Army Officers Say No Toast to Kaiser Was Proposed. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 21. (Special.) "I am more than surprised and cha grined to find that any one should take offense at or accuse me and my brother officer of any word or act in violation of strict neutrality or of the Army regulations in our conduct at the Imperial restaurantr last nignt- This was the statement today by Captain Leonard T. Waldron, in dis cussing the charges reported to have been filed against him and accusing mm o i onoiiins kj la a TThei AlleS." "So far as I know." continued the Captain, "no toast to Germany, the Kaiser or anyone else was drunk or even proposed. Lieutenant Gardiner and myself went to the restaurant for supper and later Dr. Woerner, Dr. Hart man and Mr. Pudllch sat down at our table. We, of course, talked with them and they were speaking German at times among themselves. I do not un derstand a word of German, so I cannot say what they were conversing about. They may have proposed toasts among themselves, but if they did I was not aware of it. and certainly anuin none of them." Lieutenant Gardiner substantiated the statement of Captain Waldron, and added: "I certainly drank no toast to any one or any thing, uuring tne n.ti-.-.inn nA or tha e-entlemen. in speak- i.. .Knnt ha nroicress of the war, did . -i, m. which side I favored.

Dr. Woerner left for Portland last night so could not do seen, aax r-uu-lich also left for Portland today, but before going left a statement, in which he says that Captain Waldron and Lieutenant Gardiner "did not drink any toast, their actions were gentle manly and they did nothing which could be construed to be in violation of strict neutrality."

"As stated heretofore, plans have been perfect! whereby three great stocks of musical merchandise are being consolidated in one establishedment. The deal will be consummated Just as soon as a suffi ciently large portion of the stock on hand in each of the houses can be closed out, so that the remainder can be accommodated under one roof. In order to put this plan Into opera tion In the quickest possible time, a closing out sale at most drastic re ductions have been started in the three establishments. PIANOS Actaally 2v Per Ceat onr, some Per Cent and a rew neuueca la 2-3 Per cent. All tha eraat and world-renowned makes of pianos in stock at Graves Music Co., 161 Fourth street (near corner of Morrison), at Holt Piano Co, S33 Morrison street, and at KMers Musio House, Eilers building, Broad way and Alder, are placed on sale at such greatly reduced prices as will dispose of them without delay. Portland has become famous for the low prices and great assortments of musical instruments carried. These have made Portland he greatest musical instrument shipping center in the United States. But now, no mat ter how low prices have been here tofore, they will be found still lower on th nrii fairs In the various houses. The selling will continue at these low prices ui.il sulticient nave oeeu iu to make consolidation in one place possible.

Numerous others 25 per cent, and a few 22 per cent. Free music rolls included. Music Rolls for player-pianos.

Tho low sale prices are the net cash prices, and those wishing to buy on time will pay simple interest, not on the entire amount, but on the det'erj-ed payment, at 8 per cent per annum. To effect the most speedy reduc tions of stocks on hand, there will be many Instruments obtainable for as little as $1 a week; many others for 5. J6 or tl a month payments which any home can readily make. Any instrument may be ordered subject to exammation and trial, but must not be kept for this purpose longer than 48 hours' trial. All deposits cheerfully rirunded In case the instrument after delivery does not prove exactly satisfactory or as represented. Surely, now there can be no excuse for a musicless home anywhere in this city and in this great Northwest Guaranteed. Every instrument no matter where sold, will be covered by the most liberal and dependable guarantee, making positively sure that every purchase will result in a satis fied customer. While the sale Is in progress stores will be open until 9 o'clock in the evening on Friday and Saturday nights and during regular business hours on other week days. Readers of The Oregonlan living out of town should write or telephone for photographic Illustrations and cata logues, or, what is better, take a trip to Portland and make selections per sonally. Requests to hold certain styles of in struments will be honored only long enough for letter to arrive. Thia unquestionably will prove the greatest opportunity for advantageous ly buying musical instruments and all sorts of musical merchandise that will ever be presented in Portland. Not one, but two, great stocks and an enor mous residue stock of the K. H. Holt Piano Company are included. Unques tionably the Nation's finest makes of pianos, player-pianos and baby grandr.. It will be well to bear In mind that none of these stocks will be replen ished until after consolidation has been effected. Thus first comers will secure the benefit of the most extensive as sortment. We also state in all cajndor that prices will not be made any lower aa the aale progresses than they are now, because the management has realized that for the purpose of this sale every possible inducement for quick buying must be offered at the outset, and this has been don& It will be found that In these three simultaneous sales everything is ob tainable at wholesale and less than wholesale, and a great many instru ments and articles are actually obtain ble for less than the actual manufac turer's cost. For the tirst time in history a great bona fide underpriced selling campaign of everything known in music Is of fered In three places at one and the same time, and if every home in Port land and the Pacific Northwest does not benefit materially by this oppor tunity, it will be because quick action has not been had. Whether a 15-cent sheet of popular music or a $1500 art grand, or a $1200 harp, or any other, big or little, mu sical want' is, to be supplied in years to come, now is the time to call and attend to it while the consolidation sales are in progress.
