Va.-Posses continue their search for masked bandits who I e'd up and robbed a Baltimore & hlio express train en route from New York to St. Louis, two miles west o.f . (enttral, W.

The local governinent. oflicials who havI1e been in touch with the situation are of the opinion that the bandits I w\ere awarie ritoney from Washington I was on the train as it has been deft nitely learned they demanded the Washington packages of the mail clerks. Enugineer Grant IHelms of Parkers. burg, who was at the throttle when the hold-tip occurred, said he be lieved the robbers boarded the train between the engine and the mail car at Central when the train stopped to take on water. Shortly after the train started again two men climbed over the tender and down into the -ab covering him and Fireman T. R. Knight of Grafton and ordered that the tra'n ibe stopped. The commtand was not obeyed un til after Engineer Heums struck at one of the men, thinking for the mo mnent it was somebody trying to play a joke on him. H lowever, on seeing that the bandits meant business, he stopped the train. One of tte men then ordered the tiretmatn off the en gine. The two bandits commanded HIelms to run nis elngine a short dis tance ahead. At the points of their revolvers, Helms was then ordered to leave the cab. Three mail clerks were in the car when the bandits en tered and the clerks thought they were some of the trainmen. At the point of revolvers the robbers de. randed the registered mail, of which there were about 90 packages on the bench. Two of the clerks, Cecil Plxtummr~ er and C. R.

ACCEDES TO PLANS 0F U. S. DISAVOWS SINKING OF THE ARA BIC AND WILL PAY IND'M NITY CHARGES. Believed That All the Cases Growing Out of Submarine Warfare Will Be Amicably Settled. Washington.-Germany has comji pletely acceded to the American do mands for settlement of the Arabic case. The Imperial government in a 1"tter presented by its ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, to Secretary Lansing, disavows the sinking of the vessel, announces that it has so noti fled the submarine commander who made the attack, expresses regret for the loss of American lives and agrees to pay indemnity to their families. Official Washington was both grati fled and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication deliver ed by the ambassador pursuant to gen eral instructions from his government spread absolute confidence that there would be no more submarine contro versies between the United States and Germany, for the document re veals that stringent orders have been given to submarine coinmanders to prevent a recurrence of such inci dents as the Arabic. Since this case embraces the prin ciples for which President Wilson contended in his notes following the torpedoing of the Lusitania and Fala ha. concessions made by Germany to the American viewpoint were gener ally regarded as paving the way for aiicable settlement of all the cases which have threat-ned severance of diomatic relations between the two countries. FOR HARMONIOUS DEFENCE. All American Nations Should Join In Protecting Monroe Doctrine. WVashington-Eusebal A. Morales, the Minister from Panama, speaking here at a conference on national de fense, being conducted under the ausilces of the Navy League, the Na tional Rifle Association and the Coun cil of National Defense, declared all the American Republics were wvatch ing the prepar-edness of the United States, because, he said, upon it de pends the defense of the Monroe Doc trine The declaration of the United States that the American continent cannot be the object of conquest "Suppose," said Doctor Morales, "that England arid France are van quished during this wvar: What will he the fate of their colonies in Amer ica? Will the American continent look with indifference uipon the occu. pation by Germany of ilirench and IBritish Guiana, of British Honduras andl the Islands which enclose the Caribbean Sea? The answer appears to be obvious." "In the face of the present situa tioni," he continued, "it would be wise not to persist in the illusion of the security in which we have lived, but to create for the defense of the Con tinent and the harmonious devolop ment of the American Nations, an or ganization which in itself would com mand respect. "In this organization there falls upon the United States the prepon derant role, not only because it is the most powverful country of the Continent, but because it has volun tarily constituted itself the champion of the other American Nations.

WVashington. - American harvests this year will be the most valuable ever produced. With the when t crop exceeding a billion bushels, the larg est ever produced in one season by any nation, and a corn crop which also may prove to be the largest ever grown, the government's October crop report announced preliminary esti mates which indicate recordi harvests of oats, barley, rye, sweet potatoes, rice, tobacco and hay. Corn still is king of crops with idi cations of 3,026,159,000 bushels. While that is 98,000,000 below the record of 1912, the final production may more than make up the difference. Theii higher prices this year assure the most valuable cornn cr-op ev-er grown. At prices to farmers prevailing Octo ber 1 the crop is worth $2,233,000,000. WVheat prospects i-eased as the glwng season progressed andl the government's early season forecasts moved up month by month so that tile preliminary estimlat~e of production was placed at 1,002,029,000 bushels. At prices prevailing October- 1 tile farm value of the cr-op is $910.8.I-4,000, consider-ably more than ever was iaid for a wheat crop before. September weather was par-ticular-ly destructive to potatoes, causing a re duction of 37,'758,000 bushels, or 10 per cent In the forecast of production. Tobacco also suffered from unfavo able conditions which caused a de crease of 21,3-45,000 poun(ds in the pro dluction forecasts. Tobacco, however, promises to exceed tile r-ecor-d cr-op of 1909 by -13,000,000 p~ounds. Oats will exceed the recor-d cr-op of 1912 by almost 100,000,000 bushels. Harley wvill exceedi Its recor-d by 13, 000,000 bushels; sweet potatoes by3 5,000,000 bushels, rice by 500.000 bush els and haly by 8.000,000 tons. Quake at San Francisco. San Friancisco. -.
