Imperial Chancellor's Statement
Berlin, Aug. 30. It is under
stood today .that Germany's
course in the Arabic case has
been decided upon, and that it is
in line with the recent concilia
tory statement by Dr. Von Holl
weg, the German chancellor, whp
declared in a statement August
25, that the circumstances sur
rounding -the -sinking of the Ara
bic had not been fully cleared up
and that it was not even known
whether she was sunk by a mine
or a torpedo. The chancellor
aided:
"Only after all these circum
stances have been cleared up
will it be possible to say whether
the commander of one of our
submarines went beyond his in
structions, in which case the im
perial government would hot
hesitate to give such complete
satisfaction to the United States
as would conform to the friendly
relations existing between both
:
governments.

would save us from shipping in

our dependence upon western

State which can make a .better
showing in tobacco than Person
and the President, as well as all of
the members of the Fair, hopes
that this exhibit will be what it
should be. Get some of the very,
best you have and bring it in, for
there will be many from a distance
here during the Fair and we want
to see such an exhibit that all will
be proud of, not only proud of
the exhibit but proud of the fact
that we are living in a County
which can make such a showing.
Do not stop with the tobacco ex
hibit, but let the ladies bring in
exhibits of all kinds of canned
goods, fancy work, or anything
which comes under their observa
tion which they think is just a lit
tle better than anything which the
neighbor has. Bring in your ex
hibits and let's make the Fair a
great success. The grounds and
I
!
buildings are almost in perfect
condition and the President has
labored faithfully and long on
this work, and now that such am
ple accommodation has been made !
for you it is not too much to ex
pect that you join in heartily and
help make it the success it should
be. Jbor it is a certaintv that un
less the people join in and take a
hand with the exhibits, etc., it
will be impossible to make it what
the County is entitled to. Co-cp-i
erate with the President and the .
Secretary and show to the other
counties what can be done, and
what is being done by this Coun-;
ty it will be an eye opener to !
many and will mean much for the !
Count!7. ... i
Aside from the usual attractions
at County fairs there will be daily
races on the race track at 'the
grounds and everyone with good
red blood coursing through their
veins love to see a spirited race.
The motoreycler racing promises
to be extra fine, as there will be
some of the best riders in the State
here to participated ' ;
If there fe; anything you want..
to know about, the Fair; call on the
