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.
London.— The minor fortress of
Lutsk, which, with those of Dubno
and Kovno, forms a fortified triangle
on Russian territory Junt north o f the
Galician frontier, was captured by the
Austrians Thursday, according to the
official report from Vienna. It is in
this direction that the Austro^lerinan
offensive has been the most aggres
sive during the past few days, the ob
ject being to separate the Russian
army which has been retreating
through the P r i f t i marshes from that
operating in Galicia. The latter forces
inflicted, so the Russians claim, a
rather severe defeat on the Invaders.

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.
Rev. D. C. Berkemeier, o f Mount
Vernon, N. Y ., charged that the influ
ential papers o f the United States are
trying their best to incite the nation
to war.

Hop Crop Disappointing.
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

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. Along with individual zeal and
skill in farming will go a cooperative
[ use of the farmers' business strength,
ilurul credits must be taken up as a
part of this larger problem of agricul
tural business organization.— Collier's
I Weekly.

This all happened in Houston in the
spring of 1837. The first book of rec
ords was dug from a dusty shelf one
afternoon recently in the Harris conn
ty courthouse. O. M. Du t'los, clerk
o f the district court, and he who Is
known as the investigator into the
affairs of others, did the digging.
The first book of the records of the
legal doings of Harris county is a y d
lowed and old thing The first matter
written in it Is a statement signed by
Sam Houston giving authority for the
court. It announces that he has ap
pointed Benjamin Franklin judge of
