Millions In Toy May Be Lost.
Berlin. American business men in
Germany are taking the gloomisst
view of the fate of great quantities of
goods ordered in Germany for the
American Christmas trade.. They say
that the loss of these goods will
amount to millions. Orders totalling
$50,000,000 for such wares as toys,
-Bohemian glassware, bronzes, Christ
mas cards and optical specialties had
been placed for summer delivery, it
is stated, this being the usual practice
in order to give American wholesale
dealers an apportunity to place goods.
Getting Coin For Paper.
Petrograd, via London. The silver

business was seriously embarrassed.
State and private banks are said to
be well stocked with coin, and are
paying it out in unlimited amounts.

WISHES TO SATISFY U. S.
IF ARABIC WAS ATTACKED WITH
OUT WARNING WILL MAKE
REPARATION.
Will Also Give Assurance That Stun
Tragedies Will Not Be Repeated.
Lusitania Case. '
Washington. Germany's intention
to offer full satisfaction to the United
States for the sinking of the linei
Arabic with a loss of two American
lives, was communicated formally to
the state department by Count von
Bernstorff, German ambassador here
on instructions from the Belin foreign
office."
The ambassador read to Secretarj
Lansing a memorandum outlining the
position of " his government. It i
promised that If it'was"-: found- that
ths Arabic was - attacked without
warning, the Imperial V government
mot only would promptly disavow the
act, but would give the United States
"full satis'faction." This, it is well
known, would have, to include repara
tion for the Americans lost and as
surances that such tragedies would
not be repeated.
No further developments in the sit
uation are expected, now until the
submarine commander who sank the
Arabic has reported to Berlin. Mean
time, President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing, though visibly encouraged
and relieved by Count von Bern
storff's assurances and reports from
Ambassador Gerard on his conferences
with the Foreign Minister von Jagow,
are in a waiting attitude. Before the
American government can speak
there must be forthcoming the Ger
man disavowel and . explanation of
what all evidence received has seem
ed to prove was an "unfriendly act"
It also became "known 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 vessel was sent
to the bottom without warning by a
German submarine. There has bees
no response to , the last American
note on this subject and It is known
that the United States would not list
en to. reparation proposals with the
situation created by the- sinking oi
the Arabic still pending.

Germans Are Now In Possession of
the Whole Line of Railway From
, - Chelm to Bialystok.. '
London; Brest-LItocsk, . the" main
Russian fortress and concentration
center for the Bug River line of de:
fenses is now occupied by, the Austro
Germans. While the Russians 'offered
stout resistance during the invaders'
approach, it is apparent no attempt
was made to defend Brest-Litovsk it
self. It was evacuated as was Osso
wetz, in conformity with "the Russian
intention to take up new positions
farther east. " v ;
The Germans now are in possession
of the whole line of railway from
Chelm to Blalystok. The - Russians
having already avacuated the latter
city, the lesser fortreses of . Grodno
and Olita now are the only strongly
defended - positions remaining in the
hands of the Russians. Both these
are being approached by the Germans.
They probably will be given up when
they have fulfilled their purpose of
facilitating the Russian retreat. , ..
The Russians, have not yet entered
the vast Bleloviezh forest, which " ex
tends 30 miles north and south and
has a width of from 17 to ; 30 miles.
JThe -forest is a famous hunting cen
ter, and a bison preserve. South of it
are the Pripet marshes, which protect
the Russian left and with plenty of
roads and three or four railroad lines,
it. is expected here Grand Duke Nicho
las will make good his retirement of
Grodno and Vilna can hold out long
enough. Even if. they should fall;
military observers say the Grand Duke
would be well on his way to his new
positions before the Germans could
reach his flank.. 1
