There Is Hardly A Woman Who Does Not Rely Upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound. Arm ored C ar* Victorious. I J Washington, D. C.— Strained rela tions between the United States and Germany over submarine warfare ap parently passed into history Thursday after Count von Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador, Informed Secretary Lansing in writing that prior to the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that its submarines should sink no more liners without warning. Oral assurances to this effect had been given by the ambassador last week. But It was not until Count von Bernstorff, after a call at the state department, returned to the embassy and sent a letter to Mr. Lansing quot ing Instructions from Berlin concern ing an answer to be made to the last American note on the sinking of the Lusitania that officials frankly admit- ted their gratification over the chang ed position of the imperial govern- merit. Secretary Lansing said in a formal statement that the letter "appears to be a recognition of the fundamental principle for which we have contend ed." He immediately sent the com munication to the white house, and discussed it in a cheerful vein. Everywhere in administration cir cles there was a visible relaxation of the tension which had existed ever since the Lusitania tragedy, though lessened by the earlier assurances of Count von Hcnit.tr.rff and sdviO N from Ambassador Gerard as to the at titude o f officials in Berlin. The next step, It is said authorita tively, w ill be a formal communica tion from the German government dis avow ing the destruction of the Arabic and tendering regret and reparation for American lives lost in the disaster if the attack was made by a German submarine. Even if the submarine which tor pedoed the liner subsequently was sunk by a British man-of-war, as has been suggested both from Berlin and London, the Berlin foreign office is expected to send its disavowal as soon as a reasonable time has passed with out a report from its commander. Once the situation growing out of the Arabic Incident has been disposed of, the response to the long unanswer ed American note on the Lusitania will be dispatched, and if Germany's explanations and proposals in this case are accepted by the United States, both officials and diplomats here expect the way to be cleared for a complete understanding between the two governments on the subject of freedom o f the sea3. Teutons Take Russian Fortress.

R IV E R M Dalles-Coiumbia Line Chicago— The first sesjion o f the National convention o f the Friends of Peace, which opened here Monday, was given over largely to the women delegates as a sentimental acknowl edgement o f the part women must play in the peace movement, but a number o f men speakers launched vigorous at tacks on what they called the “ jingo press” and manufacturers who are shipping munitions to belligerent na tions. These attacks were greeted by applause. A ripple o f applause also greeted the reading o f a bulletin announcing that the Allan liner Hesperian had been torpedoed by a German! subma rine, but immediately a storm of hisses drowned out the applause. The bulle tin read by Henry Weissman, o f Chi cago, chairman o f the resolutions com mittee, contained the erroneous state ment that 600 lives had been lost. Later another bulletin stating no lives had been lost was read and the delegates broke into applause that lasted several minutes. Mr. Weissman said the action o f the submarine confirmed his opinion that reports declaring Germany had acced ed to the demands o f the United States regarding submarine warfare had been published solely to keep people from attending the convention o f the Friends o f Peace, and that the "jin g o press” had lent its efforts to the move ment with that end in view.

Portland — Hop growers in Oregon are keenly disappointed over the small crop that ia being harvested this year. Early in the season it appeared to be a big yield o f 140,000 or 150,000 bales, but it is doubtful now i f the crop will exceed 100,000 bales. Some well posted authorities believe it may fall to 85,000 or 90,000 bales. I-ast year Oregon produced 127,000 bales o f hops. The vines made a good start in the Bpring and gave promise o f a record yield per sere. Early in the summer, however, the wet weather brought on a severe attack o f hop lice, and in spite o f all the efforts o f the growers they could not master the plague. Spraying was resorted to promptly by most o f the farmer:/, and some yards were gone over four or five times. A t first it seemed as i f the attack had been checkec, but the weather was against the growers, and the vermin reappeared. Not only in Oregon is the crop com ing down below expectations, but the entire American crop w ill be much leas than was figured upon. In Washington hops are doing better than in other states, but the yield this year is lessened by the plowing up of much acreage in the western counties. In C alifornia adverse weather has re duced the crop, and N ew York hops also suffered from unfavorable weather conditions. Fine Smelt on Market. Tacoma— Puget Sound smelts, o f the best quality sold here in years, are ar rivin g regularly in large quantities. The demand was never better and the fish roll out at 6 cents a pound. They are said by dealers to be far superior to the famous Columbia river smelt, and for that reason are demanding a higher price. The run ia good and largo catches are being made daily. N early 15,000 pounds o f fresh halibut w ill arrived on the local market. Ship ments o f this size are needed practi cally every day to meet the demand. Weather Factor in Butter Market. Portland — Heavy receipts o f off- grade summer butter continue to keep the market in an unsettled condition, except for fancy cubes, which are scarce and firm. Strictly fresh eggs are also firm, but a large part o f the current receipts show the effect o f warm weather and are hard to dispose of. There was a good demand for hens at 14 cents, and springs sold readily at 17 cents. Dressed pork was weaker and 9J cents was quoted on the best. Veal was scarce. M arket 80 0 Car* o f Pears.

PO R TLAN D , OREGON Rural Credits Again, Getting the money back on to the farm is a job much discussed at vari ous conventions these days; but there are one or two points that seem worth stating: Rural credits is a problem o f development, not o f charity. Wo have no downtrodden peasantry in this country, and the legal rate of interest has somewhat restricted the mortgage sharks. Getting com pletely rid of these fellows is important, but it is much more important to secure in all parts of our country the best possible investment and use of agri cultural capital. This should not bo done by the privilege method, by state aid, tax exemption, and so on. If tho American farmer can't pay his way, nobody can. The real need is Letter organization of the farming business by means of rural cooperative banks, which will not only do the banking for their members, but will also give them tho benefits of centralized buy ing and selling. The banking w ill bo based on the actual known values of the neighborhood, and the trading op erations w ill be real and not specu lative.
