the Oerma.n- Government admitting,
that a German submarine torpedoed ;
, \ i
me oruisn uorst' snip .viuiiiia ?iui
the loss of six Americans, Secretary j
Lansing conferred with President Wil
son and it was decided that no action j
would be taken by the American Gov i
eminent until it could be definitely es- '
tablished whether the Marina was rt ;
private vessel or a belligerent trans- S
port.
In the note Germany stated that the |
commander of the submarine wiiicn j
sank the Marina l?ad reported that he j
took the vessel for a transport and j
. the- United States for informa- j
tion on this pe^-.t. ou?t Ton Bern-1
storff, the German ambassador, called >
at the State Department during the
day and also sought this information, j
He was told by Secretary Lansing that [
the United States was not yet in a j
position to answer the inquiry but 1
urould do so as quickly as possible. ;
No Immediate Action.
A the reult of the development of j
the day it was indicated by officials j
that no action is expected in the im- j

pending between the United States and
Germany. The other is tjiat of the
British liner Arabia, sunk in the Med
iterranean.
Germany, it is understood, is ready
to acknowledge error and make offfelrs
of settlement if it is established that
t&e Marina was not in the British
transport service. When the vessel
was sunk it was stated in dispatches
from London that she previously had
been connected with the transport ser
vice. and also that when sh? sailed
an her last voyage she was armed with
a. gun astern, manned by two British
naval gunners.

"BETTiSA LOVED A SOLDIER"
Tuesday, December 5, Amide Theatre.
In Longueval, France for more than
thirty years, tiie Abbe Constantin has
been cure of the little village. The peo
pie are dependent tor tneir existence
upon the estate of Longuevali and
when they learn that the castle has
Deen sold to foreigners, they see their
existen-ce menaced.
Mrs. Susie Scott is the purchaser
She is an American of great wealth,
who has a sister, Bettina, a girl of
seventeen, who is equally as rich. Bet
tina has had numerous offers of mar
riage from penniless noblemen. Fore
most among her suitors is the fop
pish Paul de Larcardens.
The priest has a nephew, Jean Rey
naud. a lieutenant in the cavalry, who
in all respects except birth, is a son
u? che good old man. TA!hen the
Scotts arrive, their first duty is to
i-isit tho Ahhe Wp learns? that they
ire good Catholics and he is almost
paralyzed with surprise when they
;ive him money to distribute to the
joor.
Jean had never met such women be
ore and for the life of him could not
iecide which of the two was the more
beautiful; which had the smaller feet,
more shapplv hands. The woman
ieli-ght in Jean's honest simplicity;
le and the Abbe are frequent visitors
it the castle and it is not long before
fean decides that Bettina is to him
