GERMANY DISAVOWS SMNGOF ARABIC Announces More Stringent Orders to Submarine Commanders. MATTER OF INDEMNITY. Bernstorff, in Note to Ijunsing, Kxplains Fully His Government's Desire to Kliiiiinnto DilTereiiees. Washington, Oct. f?.?Germany has acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. The imperial government, through its ambassador, Count Von Bernstorff, disavows the sinking of the vessel, announces that it has so notified the submarine commander who made the attack, expresses regret for the loss of American lives, and agrees to pay an indemnity to the families of Americans lost. Official Washington was both gratified and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication delivered to Secretary Lansing today by the ambassador pursuant to general instructions from his government spread absolute confidence that thero would be no more submarine controversies between the United States and Germany, for the document reveals that stringent orders have been liven to submarine commanders to prevent a recurrence of such incidents as the Arabic. Since this case embraces the principles for which President Wilson contended in his notes on the torpedoing of the Lusltania and Falaba. concessions made by Germany to the American viewpoint were generally regarded tonight as paving the way for amicable settlement of all the rases. Count Von Bernstorff left here tonight expressing the confident hope that relations between Germany and the United States would continue to improve. With settlement of the Arabic controversy the dispatch to Great Britain Hotavod American note oi iuc K/Iie v.. on interference with trade is expected within a few days. It was not until the German ambassador submitted his letter at nearly 1 o'clock today that the change in the relations between Germany and the United States became definite. Secretary Lansing carried It to the White House and shortly afterward announced its text, which follows: "My dear Mr. Secretary: Prompted by the desire to reach a satisfactory agreement with regard to the Arabic incident, my government has given me the following instructions: " 'The order issued by his majesty the Emperor to the commanders of the German submarines?of which I notified you on a previous occasion ?has been made so stringent thai the recurrence of incidents Aimllat to the Arabic case is considered out of the qiwetion. " 'According to the report of Commander Schneider of the submarine which sank the Arabic, and his affi davit as well as those of his men, Commander Schneider was convinced that the Arabic intended to rani the submarine. " 'On the other hand, the imperial government does not doubt the good faith of the affidavit of the Iiritish officers of the Arabic, according to which the Arabic did not intend to ram the submarine. The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the commander. The imperial govern* meat regrets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Schneider accordingly. " 'Under these circumstances my government is prepared to pay an indemnity for American lives which, to its deep regret, have been lost on the Arabic. I am authorized to negotiate with you about the amount of this indemnity. " 'I remain, my dear Mr. Istnsin?, " 'Yours very sincerely, " 'J. Von VBRNSTORPP.' " Secretary I-ansing made no com ment on the ambassador's letter except to remark that it spoke for it self. He was much pleased over tht conclusion of the case, because sincr the sinking of the Arabic ho inau unrated the idea of personal nego nations in waaningion. 'mm metb of exchanging views was welcom ed by Count Von Ilernstorff, too particularly as he has nail no meani of direct communication with hii government. To this lack of com munlcation has boon Retributed muci of the ill feeling that characterize! ^ the earlier stages of the Rubmarini controversy. Today's events snread satisfaction everywhere, not only at the Whit House and state department, but a *hc German embassy as well. I THE COUNTRY EDITORIAL. Many editors of small papers refuse to give their readers editorials on the ground that editorials are for the largo city papers and the public does not care for the views of the country editor. As a matter of face, the views of the rural population are really reflect ed by the editorials of the large city papers, which glean them from iu? rnnntrv nnnorn which run cdl t nrhilsi The sound thought of the country is to be found in thy rural districts. Here, in the more or less quiet of the country, men and women read and study and gather data which results in conclusions founded on a solid basis. Sometimes this thought may he biased by the enthusiasm aroused by the impractical reformer or selfish politician who runs on* at a tangent with some new rad or "ism," but generally such fads arc short lived and the sensible thinker of the country districts returns to the saiiiand solid and conservative attitu v which has always distinguished him. The editor of the country paper, therefore, has a duty to perform in crystalir.ing this thought and sending it out to the world as the contribution of his section of the country to the agitation of the day. The coun try editor, usually is a comparatively poor man, but he has sand and independence and a pride of work rarelv found in other professions. Moreover, he is brought into closer personal contact with his constituency than the editor of the big city papers. It is safe to say that never before in the history of journalism have editorials been more widely or more carefully read, not. perhaps as in the old days, to base an opinion on the views of the editor, but for the purpose of getting all sides of every question.?N.

"Mrs. Prim had been in ? run down condition for years, suffering from stomach trouble, indig\estlon and nervousness. She kept losing weight until she reached the hurklred pound mark. She gradually became worse and her condition became^ so alarming that I despaired of eVer seeing her well again. It cost me\in the neighborhood of $500 for meckicines and professional advice, without the right results being achieved. "For several weeks we had been* reading the testimonials of well known people who had been benefited by Tanlac in which they told of the marvelous results being obtained . from this wonderful medicine. So three weeks ago I purchased three bottles and I just want to soy that Mrs. Prim's restoration to health is the talk of the neighborhood. She uaa guinea 11 pojnas in in.ee weeks' time and every day she is ' being congratulated by ner friends . on how well she looks. "I want to continue that if Mrs. Prim's return to health is goon enough to talk about, it is good : enough to read about, and 1 most willingly recommend the wonderful medicine, Tanlac, to those people suffering as Mrs. Prim suffered." T. W.
