Will Make More Than Disa vowal if Steamer Sunk Without Warning. BERNSTORF ANNOUNCES Ambassador Formally Notifies Lansing of Imperial Gov ernment's Position. Also Ready to Renew Lusi tania Discussion. Washington, Aug. 27. Germa ny's intention to offer full satis faction to the United States for the sinking of the liner Arabic with the loss of two American lives was communicated formally to the State Department today, by Count von Bernstorff, German ambassador here, on instructions from the Berlin foreign office. The ambassador read to Secre tary Lansing a memorandum out lining the position of his govern ment. It promised that if it was found that the Arabic was -attacked without warning, the Im perial government not only would promptly disavow the act, but would give the United States "full satisfaction.' ' This, it is well known, would have to include rep aration for the Americans lost and assurances that such tragedies would not be repeated. ' Await Report to Berlin Xo further developments in the sit uation are expected now until the sub marine commander who sank the Ara- Lie has reported to Berlin. Meantime President Wilson and Secretary Lans ing, thousrh invariably encouraged and relieved by Count " Bernstorff's assur ances and reports from Ambassador Gerard on his conferences with foreign Minister Von Jagow, are in a waiting aititude. Before the American govern ment can speak there must be forthcoming- the German disavowal and ex planation of what all evidence receiv ed has seemed to prove was an "un friendly act." It became known tonight that the State Department has been informed that Germany is ready to renew dis cussion of the Lusitania incident and to offer reparation for the American lives lost when that vesel was sent to the bottom without warning by a Ger man submarine. There has been no response to the last American note on this subject and it is known that the Inited States would not listen to repar ation proposals with the situation created by the sinking of the Arabic still pending. Witk the attack on the Arabic -dis-Rvonverl, however, and guarantees giv en asrainst repetition, a German com munication explaining that the Lusi nia was torpedoed as a reprisal aeainst Great Britain under a misap prehension that she was armed and tnat killing of Americans was regret ted and not intended, and offering re paration, probably would pave the ay for amicably closing the incid ent. . Will Ask Demands Upon Allies German officials have made it plain that their government, as soon as it 'as relieved the strain upon its rela tions with the United States by limit ing submarine activities, will ask the American government to demand that jreat Britain and her allies cease in wferrinjr with legitimate neutral com jnerce, and thus permit the importa tion of fodstuffs for the German civil Population.

PerBhing's family to welcome the officer when he returns here from El Paso. Mrs. Pershing and the other three children, Mary, Margaret, Anne and Helen, were suffocated and burn ed in a Are which early today consum ed their quarters at the presidio of San Francisco. General Pershing, commander of troops on the Mexican border, left El Paso, when informed of the fire. He will arrive here Sunday. United States Senator Francis H Warren, father of Mrs. Pershing, will come from Cheyenne, Wyo. Warren Pershing was being cared for tonight by nurses at the Lettermann General Hospital at the presidio. He was taken there today when he was picked up unconscious on the floor of his bed room by rescuers who crawled through the burning house searchingfor Mrs. Pershing and her four children. War reh revived quickly. The others were dead when the rescuers reached them suffocated and their heads .hands and feet burned. JVIrsW.alter O. Bos well. a relative wire Qt.

Mrs. Pershing and her children were to have left here within a week to join General Pershing at El Paso. A home to receive them had been prepared by him. x Until General Pershing arrives, or sends instructions, no arrangements will be made for the funeral. Fire Equipment Criticised. "The lives of Mrs. Pershing, and her children might have been saved if more fire apparatus at the Panama Pacific Exposition, adjoining the Presidio, had been summoned immediately," said Chief Thomas Murphy of the San Fran cisco fire department, In a statement criticising the Presidio's Are depart ment and system as inadequate and an tiquated. He said that at a conference he would hold tomorrow with Major General Ar thur Murray, he would insist that the Presidio authorities revoke a stand ing order to men of the post not tc pull a city fire alarm until an effort had been made to subdue the blaze. In the last three years there have been nine deaths by Are at the Presi dio. HARD JOB TO WATCH TEDDY ALL THE TIME Garrison Reminded of Anec dote About Maine Farmer.7 Reply to Roosevelt's Statement on His Plattsburg Speech Wood Tele graphs He will Guard Against j Another Like Occurrence.. Washington, Aug. 27. Secretary Gar rison made public today Major Gen eral Wood's reply to the Secretary' telegram of yesterday directing that no repetition be permitted of the in cident at the Plattsburg camp precipi tated by former President Roosevelt's speech to the men in training there. "Your telegram: received and policy laid down will be rigidly adhered to," General Wood telegraphed. , "I have just read Mr. Roosevelt's statement," said Secretary Garrison in a statement today. "I see he blames the whole thing on me. He takes the position that it is notorious that he has the habit of making indiscreet speeches and that it, there fcrs, wps my duty to find out if he intendad to go to Plattsburg and if so to head him off and save him from himself. Well may be that's so, but it is a rather large order. He is a very active man and I am a busy one, and it's going to fbe a hard job for me to keep my- eye on him all thetlme. rnu rnlnm1'a oHltu& nkif Vim.

The, collier Jupiter has been ordered from Vera Cruz to Alacran Reef, about in the cen ter of the Gulf of Mexico in search ot the missing United Fruit . Company's! liner Marowijne.

USING MORE TROOPS Hindenburg May Make Another At tempt to Cut Off the Russian RetreatRussians Also Streng thening Lines London, Aug. 27. The Germans, in full possession of the entire Brest-Lito-vsk line, have resumed the offensive in the Baltic provinces and are pressing the Russians both in the districts southeast of Mitau and to the east of Kovno in "an effort to reach the main line of railway which passes through Vilna and Dvinsk to Petrograd. This may, in time, prove the most import ant of the German operations, although at present they are using more troops in the pursuit of the Russians who are retiring -from Brest-Litovsk and the line on either side of the fortress. It is expected, however, that with the" fall of Brest-Litovsk, which has been followed by that of Olita, south of Kovno, the armies of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg will be reinforced and make another attempt to cut off the retreat of the Russians. It is believ ed here, however, that it now is too late to accomplish this purpose. Forts Were Evacuated The Russians apparently had evacu ated both Brest-Litovsk and Olita be fore the Germans arrived, as the lat ter make no claim to the capture of guns and booty. The Austrian official report states that Archduke Joseph Ferdinand found the town of Kamien-iez-Litovsk in flames when he arrived. There are Indications therefore that the Russians still are carrying to the rear everything movable that might prove of use to the invaders and burn ing what they are unable to take with them. The intimation that the Russians have fqrtiflerajjJt-her. front ...pending an opportunity'for a renewed offensive has received some confirmation. It is stated the new line is being strength ened by all the latest methods known to military engineers. The. Russian armies still are intact, with virtually all their guns and prospects of a more plentiful supply of ammunition. For this reason, military writers here are of the opinion that Grand Duke Nich olas now should be able to make a stand,' as the Austro-German losses must have been very heavy, especial ly during the three weeks, which in tervened between the fall of Warsaw and the occupation of Brest-Litovsk The capture of several German trenches .in the Vosges was reported by Paris this evening, but what is considered more significant is the con tinued activity of the air squadron which has been bombarding German positions in France as well as muni tions factories across the German bor der. There has been no further news from the Dardanelles or the Balkans, but it now is certain that Serbia is pre pared to make the necessary sacrifices to satisfy Bulgaria and gain 'her co operation in behalf of the allies. It may be several days, however, before the Serbian reply to the representa tions of the entente powers is received. The vote of the Serbian parliament was only upon the principle involved and (Continued On Page Eight) IS SHOT WHILE AT MASS Crazed Priest, Who Did the Shooting, is Arrested. Bishop He fir on Was in Private Chapel When Attacked by Leaches, the Priest Believed Wounds Will JSot Be Fatal. Winona, Mich, Aug. 27. The Rt. Rev. Patrick R. Heffron, bishop of the Wi nona diocese of the Roman Catholic church, who was shot today as he. was ceelbrating mass in a private chapel at St. Mary's College by a crazed priest, tonight was believed to have, a fair chance to recover. L. M. Lesches, the priest, was arrested. He was believed to have been laboring under the, de lusion that he had been slighted as regards a parish assignment. Bishop Heffron was in the midst of mass when Lesches entered the chapel and in the half light crept forward to the side of the bishop and fired one shot from a small calibre revolver before his presence was noted. The first shot hit the bishop In the left thigh and inflicted only a slight would, the buliet later being removed with little difficulty. As Lesches fired the first shot the bishop turned and faced the priest who then flred a second shot, the bullet lodging back qf the left- lung. Leaning on the arm of an assistant Bishop Heffron was able to walk to his residence nearby Dr. W. J. Mayo, was hurriedly sum moned from Rochester, -Minn., but it was decided not to attempt to probe for the second bullet until the bishop's condition was less critical. Lesches from his cell, tonight issued a rambling statement. It was declared that Lesches for several - years had been mentally un balanced; but the -bishop refused to be lievethat he- waa danjteroue. -s:.jf --. CATHOLIC BISHOP CANNON AT BROWNSVILLE READY FOR MEXICAN RAIDERS. & l ir its' f 'SS x fr ' These suggestive 4.7 calibre guns, which have a range of seven miles, have just arrived at Brownsville, Texas, in charge of the Fifth Field Artillery of the United States army. They are designed to keep out Mexican raiders. MY RATIFY TREATY AT AN EARLY DATE Favorable Action by Haitien Parliament is Forecast MAY EXTEND THE LIMIT American Government, If Necessary, - Would Continue Protectorate Longer Than Ten Years, It is Said The Plans. Washington Aug. 27. Prompt rati fication of the proposed American pro tectorate treaty by the Haitien parlia ment was forecast today in dispatches to the State Department from 'Charge Davis at Port au Prince. President D'Artiguenave, head of the new government, is committed to the convention and is believed to have as surances of sufficient support from senators and delegates to secure favor able action within a few days. He pre sided over the senate for several years and is popular among his former col leagues. It became known today that plans of the United States for putting Haiti in order contemplate calling upon the War Department, if necessary, to fur nish officers, for the island police from its non-commissioned officers who have developed and commanded the Philippine constabulary. The pending treaty "would provide not only for a complete financial pro tectorate and the administration of custom houses, but for a native police force officered by Americans. Rear Admiral. Caperton and his ma rines will keep control of the situa tion on the island pending ratification of the treaty and setting up the ma chinery of the protectorate. Some op position is expected- from the rebel lious element in the north of the island who do not look with favor upon the ending of revolutionary days, but lit tle real trouble is looked for. It is said that .prvision may be in serted in the treaty for an extension, if necessary, of the ten year limit placed on the protectorate. Doubt has been expressed as to whether foreign capitalists would be willing to make loans to the government or invest their money for development of the island's industries without some guarantee against a return to anarchistic condi tions at the end of the ten years. ONE ARREST MADE FOR THE MURDER OF TOLLSTON PASTOR Mystery of Case, However, Stills Re mains Impenetrable. Gary, Ind., Aug. 27. Rev. Edmund A. Kayser, who was. shot and killed in his own home In Tollston, Ind., a- su burb; last Tuesday night, was buried today. The mystery surrounding his death apparently was still impenetra ble. ' . The arrest of Thomas, Modjesch, an inspector at the Gary Steel Mills, and a statement by State's Attorney Clyde Hunter that Kayser was claimed by his own revolver as a result of a quar rel over business matters with per sons who called upon him the night of his murder, furns?ied-the chief de velopments of the day in the case. Statements made to Chief of Police Heintz by Attorney Paul J. Tomanoczy with offices in Chicago and Gary and who was reported to have talked with Kayser an hour before his body was found by a passerby, resulted in the arrest of Modjeschr'who was held pend ind an examination. The nature, of the Information leading up to the ar rest of Modjesch was guarded by Chief Heintz, who said that he merely wish ed to question the former. ATTENDS PRIVATE AFFAIRS President Walls to Bank Throng Busi ness Section of Washing-ton. Washington,; Aug. ' 27.

It is doubtful if the whole Carranza army has as many guns as this single battery. The guns were in platn sight at the Brownsville FOUR CANDIDATES NOW FOR FAYETTEVILLE JOB Kyle and Gorham Added to the List of Applicants. Underwood and McNeill Had Already Filed Petitions for Postmaster, ship Simmons and Godwin Must O. K. Wlsiier . . (Special Star Telegram) Washington, D. C, Aug. 27. The fight for the postmastership at Fay etteville was enlivened today by the entrance into the race of two new can didates. They are W. T. Kyle ' ' and Eugene Gorham. As already stated in these dispatches, Robert McNeill, the present assistant postmaster arid now in charge of the office, arid Joseph B. Underwood, have already filed their .petition for appointment to succeed the . late Louis B. Hale. No word has come to Washington, so far as is known, as . to whom Sena tor Simmons and Representative . God win favor for this choice Federal job. Both Underwood and McNeill' are friends of Senator Simmons and it Is understood are on friendly terms with Representative Godwin. While Mr. God win will have the appointment, it will be necessary for him to nariie a man whom Senator Simmons does not op pose. A senator has the upper hand of a congressman because he can de feat ,the confirmation of any irian whom he may designate as "personally ob jectionable" to him. This was . clearly demonstrated in the long fight which the late-John Oliver made for the postmastership at Reidsville. Oliver - was recommended by Major Stedman and is said to have been the choice of 95 percent of the Democrats of the county. But Certain articles had appeared in .Oliver's paper peppering the senior senator., Oliver never admitted nor denied that he wrote these articles, but after ,t his death It was announced editorially " in his paper that he had never written a line of any of the articles which of fended Senator Simmons. Oliver's life long ambition to be postmaster of his home town was defeated simply be cause his paper had offended a United States senator. He died shortly after his defeat. "With these facts in mind it is not. likely that a man will be appointed whom the senior senator does not want. Messrs. Simmons and Godwin being on extremely friendly terms, however, it is believed that they will reach an agreement among themselves and that the Reidsville episode will not be-duplicated. P. R. A. DENIES SELLING GRAIN TO GERMANY SINCE WAR BEGAN. Loui Dreyfus Issues Denial of French Parliamentary Report. Paris, Aug. 27. Louis Dreyfus, a former member of the chamber of. dep uties and head of the firm . of Louis Dreyfus & Company, bankers and grain merchants, issued today a denial qf al legations! contained in a parliamentary report published yesterday to " the ef fect that1 his firm had sold to .agents of Gerrnany part of a' grain cargo on the steamer Norrnandy at Antwerp, in August, 1914, and subsequently sold the grain to France. ' M. Dreyfus in his statement admits that the grain had been sold . to the Germans, but states that the' sale.; was before the war began, and that at his suggestion the German interests in the transaction had been sequestered by the French government.

CARRANZA CAPITAL WILL BE CHANGED Remaining Departments Go to Mexico City Sunday. STEP FOR RECOGNITION Lajtin Circles Believe it Move Toward Asking Recognition by the United States- Imprisoned Corre spondent Gives Concern. Washington, Aug. 27. General Car ranza will move his capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico City Sunday. AJi the departments of his government, except the office of foreign affairs will gc with General Carranza himself. President Wilson's appeal to the Mex icans for peace-r especially referred to Mexico City as the place where the capital of any government applying for recognition must be established Carranza' s move was regarded in Latin circles as one of the steps in his effort to obtain recognition by the United States. ' Oarranza's ieply to the P;u: American peace appeal had not rsach ed here today. Reports of arrange ments for another meeting of the Pan American conferees were dnied at the State Department. Denies Reports of Starvation. Carranza today cabled his agency here saying: "It is utterly untrue that any deaths from starvation are taking place in Mexico City. The. food situation con tinues to improve . and has grown steadily better from the date of Gen eral Gonzales' occupation to the pras ent time. The constitutionalist gov ernment continues the shipment of food supplies ; in regularly increasing quantities and the distribution is sys tematically and thoroughly attended." Prisoner Giving Concern. It became known r tonight that the case of H. S. Francis, a newspaper cor respondent' imprisoned at Vera Cruz for sending out "dispatches unfavorable to Carranza, is giving the State De partment - considerable . concern. Two weeks ago a demand for the prisoner's release was ignored and all efforts to arrange . bail for him have failed. To day representations were renewed, and it is understood the message was of a very vigorous character. Francis is a British subject though employed by an American concern. Until recently he was held incommunicado but as a re sult of repeated representations is now permitted to see fcis friends. Enrique C. Llorente, General Villa's Washington, agent, left here tonight for Chihuahua for a conference with his chief. - WARNING TO CALIFORNIA Taft Says State rls Laboratory for Pol itical and Social Experiments. Berkeley, Cal., ". Aug. 27. Former President Taft warned California today that it was conducting a "clinical lab oratory for social and political exper iments for which it would have to pay. Other states, he declared, would benefit at California's expense. Mr. Taft spoke in open air Greek Theatre at the Uni versity of California. "This State. is. a laboratory for polit ical experiments," .he said "which we, in the East, are' quite willing you should maintain, if you are quite will ing to pay the bills, and you may be sure you will have to pay them."

While pre parations were being made to dock the battleship Delaware at the Norfolk navy yard yesterday. It was discovered that the starboard and port coupling shafts were cracked. The Delaware had been receiving repairs for several weeks and has had an entire new bat tery of five inch guns installed. She was scheduled to leave the navy yard next month but the trouble with the coupling shaft will delay; her another irty days, it la said. . . Governors Agree Country Needs Better Defenee ANNUAL MEETING ENDS Great Interest Aroused in Discussion of the National Defense Question. Many Addresses Next. Meet ing at Salt Lake City. Boston, Aug. 2". After discussion of the naval and military resources of the country, in which it was generally agreed that the United States was not adequately prepared against foreign invasion, the conference of governors ended- its annual sessions today. No resolutions on the subject were pro posed, but several of the executives said they felt certain all the govern- " ors would return to their states with the intention of demanding from their congressmen support in any program for strengthening the forces of defense. The governors chose Salt Lake City, as the place for next year's meeting and elected Governor Spry, of Utah, chairman of the executive committee. Other committee members elected were Governor Stuart, of Virginia, and Gov ernor Capper, of Kansas. The conference program, -which had included a review of the Atlantic fleet and a parade of 7,000 members of the Massachusetts militia, had aroused great interest in today's discussion. As a result the sessions were removed from the senate chamber to the more spacious hall of the house of repre sentatives, where a large audience fol lowed the addresses with frequent ap plause. Secretary Redfield Speaks. Secretary of Commerce Redfield, who addressed the Governors, urged re strairit of speech and soberness of thought in what he termed these trying times. "With that spirit of restraint,-' he added, "should we not be ready for any emergency of any kind that fnay arise? Should we not at least have the tolls ready, not for offense, but for the de fense of our nation?" Governor Fielder, of New Jersey, in opening the discussion on "The State's Duty in the Matter of National De fense," urged an increase In the stand ing army by at Jeast 25,000 men, with an adequate line of trained reservists. The states, he thought, should be ready at all times to furnish 250,000 men to this reserve body. Cordial agreement was expressed by Governor Dunne, of Illinois, who de clared the nation's main reliance for a reserve force might be in a require ment that every college and university receiving funds, Federal or State, should give four years of military training to its students. - " Munitions Plants Easily Destroyed. Referring to the need of a great sup ply of munitions, Governor Dunne said that "any British or German fleet could take possession or destroy all means of manufacturing ammunition In the United States, such plants being al most entirely within 150 miles of New York City." Governor Hammond, of Minnesota, asserting that this country had spent hundreds of millions more dollars for its army and. navy than any other na tion in the world, recommended the creation of some board which would be able thoroughly to inform Congress of the needs for national defense. He said he was not so pessimistic as some on the subject of unpreparednes, "hold ing a suspicion that if need arose we would And these battleships of oura giving a very good account of them selves." It was his opinion that the nation must depend largely upon the. patriot ism of its people for defense, that "the men would not stand for compulsory military service and the nation cannot afford to hire its soldiers." Belief was expressed by Governor Goldsborough, of Maryland, that an extension of measures of defense waa necessary. Governor Trammel, of Florida, felt that dependence was to be placed in the citizen soldiery, and was applaud ed when he added: "If the European war laBts-two years more, as seems likely, there will not be a first class army or navy in the world except our own." Adequate preparedness was urged by Governor Stuart, of Virginia, while from Governor Walsh, of Massachu setts, came the suggestion that State or Federal provision be made for bring ing into the schools encouragement arid opportunity for the boys of the land to development as citizen soldiers. "Mentally ChliTOformed.w A new note was struck by former Governor McGovern. of Wisconsin. "We have been mentally chloroformed," he exclaimed, "by this international prop aganda for peace, as it has -been ad vanced in America. Our people have been overpersuaded by this movement which has dubbed the officers of our state militia 'tin soldiers,' and has re moved the incentive from officer and man. I believe there is ks little dan ger to the nation today a at an ytime In a score of years. Nevertheless we can never be secure until we put the country In a state of real'preparedness, such as its vast interests demand." Blease's Speech Condemned. The speech yesterday of Cole L. Blease, in which the former governor of South Carolina signified "lynch law" with his approval, provoked further dissent during the morning discussion. Governor -Walsh , said he objected to the statement of Blease that "when mobs are no longer possible liberty will be dead." . "In my judgment," said the Massa chusetts executive, "there can be no liberty without obedience to law." - Governor Stuart, of Virginia, Said .Continued on fag Eignt. ., 5 t if 1 i if 3 1 i' i t t -I' -v.
