VON BERNSTORFF EXPLAINS STAND OF HOME OFFICE : WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 Count ' von Bematarff. the German ambassa1 dor made-a desperate attempt today to clear up the new differences between the United States and Germany which are threatening to imperil at : least diplomatic relations between the , two countries- He came to Washington to see Secretary of State Lansing, "prepared to explain from the German point of view the latest Arabic note. M nB IIIIIflHHBIltll UDII1B I I1H I. 1.11 II IlUI.ris merely incidental to the submarine question which has been the grave danger point at all times In the relationship between the two countries. Count von Bernstorff takes the position that his note to Secretary Lansing placed Germany on record as agreeing to protect neutral' lives on passenger steamers. He feels that t Germany has gone as far as she legitimately can in the concession she already has made. The Arabic is an incident and one that can be settled . through diplomatic channels in the Explains Arbitration. It is understood that Ambassador von Uernstorff takes the position that the arbitration suggestion in the Arabic note simply means that Germany is willing that The Hague should de termine whether she should pay in demnlty for the loss of American lives when the Arabic was sunk. In that connection would come, of course the question of the intent of the submarine commander who sank the liner. So far as the suggestion that the United States desires Captain von Pappen, the German military attache, recalled, because of his activities With ' the Austrian ambassador is concerned Ambassador von Bernstorff will send him home if Mr. -Lansing just hints that such action would be acceptable Captain von Pappen Is under the juris diction of the Berlin war office and bis recall could very quickly be ar ranged, as he has all along been try lng to find a way to rejoin his regl ment If he could get safely through the British lines.

Her Husband's Widow

Victor Meets Sir Ralph Gaveston and a Man Who Has Cause to Remember Him.

SYNOPSIS. Leslie Morne, a governess, goes to walk by the sea and is spoken to by a man she does not know. She is rescued from his attentions by Victor Steele, sergeant in the British army, whom she later marries. She finds married life wearisome and refuses to follow Steele to Egypt. Then she hears of his death and conceals the fact that she is his widow. Four years later, married to Oswald Varney and mother Of a boy, she meets Steele ace to face in Jerusalem. Ke tells her to keep the past secret, and her husband announces that Steele Is going to sail with them. She later meets Steele on a liner and also becomes acquainted with Mrs. Melas, and learns what jealousy means. The office which was thus selected at random - she saw. from the name painted in white letters on a blackboard to be that of Messrs. Pounce and Liggers. Entering the clerk's office she asked to see one of the partners. "What name, madam?" queries the youth, eyeing her with mingled awe and suspicion. "Name? Oh er-er- er! Mrs. SmithMrs. Oswald Smith. I simply wanted advice on a matter of law." The youth returned and ushered her into the presence of Mr. Liggers. She took no note whatever of bis personal appearance, but began at once in a steady voice. "1 want to consult you about a point of some importance to a member of my family. She was married at the age of eighteen without her guardian's" :consent by license. "In the license and the certificate of marriage her age was falsely given as twenty-one in order to get over the absence of the guardian's consent. Please tell me positively does not that false statement void the marriage?" She looked the lawyer full. in the face. He laughed. "Most certainly not. The marriage, if that is all that is wrong about it, is absolutely valid." Victor Steele journeyed slowly north ward in the wake of his late fellow passengers. He stopped at Avignon and spent a pensive hour on the historic bridge gazing at the distant Cevennes; he tried to enjoy himself at busy Lyons; and rambled through the glorious forest of Fantainebleau with the delight born of long exile in a treeless land. As to many widely travelled British soldiers, Europe was a strange land to him. Gothic cathedrals and feudal castles were less familiar than mosques and hill forts. He cpept three days in Paris, and liked it so well that be thought it might be a good place to settle in when he retired from the service. He tried to forecast his state of mind twenty or twenty-five years hence. He met Varney in evening dress carrying a cane after the French fashion, and chewing tfte end of a cigar rather than smoking it. A shadow of displeasure " crossed Victor's face. He glanced quickly round, expecting to see Leslie. But Varney's words soon reassured him. "Have you seen anything of Mrs. Melas since you have been here?" he asked abruptly. .. "No, 1 haven't," replied Varney em

Figures in

s Murder in phatically and sulkily. . He faced his companion, looking at him anxiously. "I want you to tell me straight outdo you think I made myself at all conspicuous by my attentions to that woman?" Victor laughed. "My dear chap, it was obvious to everyone that you paid t.ore attention to her than any one on board except, of course, your wife" "Well, hang It all what else is there to do on board a rotten little raftlike that?" grumbled Varney. "One must fill in the intervals between meals somehow. Confound th? woman! 1 wish I had never seen her." The two men sat down at one of the little tables of the al fresco cafe in the Jardin. Oswald Has a Fit of Real Depression. The young man glanced at his companion. It was strange to see the usually cheerful Oswald so gloomy and dispirited. He wished he could think of something to say, but no words came that seemed to fit the case. "I told you she wouldn't stay -in Paris," resumed Varney, digging viciously into the grass with his cane. "I didn't think anything of it then. But now she writes, in the height of the season, mark you, that the boy hasn't been well, and she has taken him away to Scotland. Scotland, my boy, just think of It in May! Why, I never knew they opened it before the twelfth of August." Victor laughed. "That doesn't sound so very serious," he said. "Look here,, Steele," said Varney sitting up suddenly, "you and I have always got on well together, and I don't know any man I'd sooner trust. I want. you to read this letter and tell me quite straight just what you think of it." He took a folded letter from his poketbook and banded it to his companion. Victor took it with a tremor at the sight of the once familiar writing, and read: West Highland Hotel "Oban, Argyllshire. "Dear Oswald: You will be surprised to find me here. I hope you will not be, angry at my going off so suddenly. Jimmy has not been well, and the change will do him good already he is looking better for the sea winds. But to be quite honest with you that is not why I came. A queer mood has come over me I can't explain but I feel dissatisfied with the life we have been leading the last two years. Don't take this as implying the least reproach to you It is a mood, and I hope will soon pass. But I feel I must withdraw from all society, even,, dear, from yours, for a time. I must-be alone to rest and think. I shall not meet anyone I know in Scotland so early as this. That is why I came here that. I might not be disturbed. "Please don't think this too extraordinary of me or inconsiderate, i had to come. Yours, Leslie. "Jimmy sends his love and a kiss." Victor banded the letter back to his friend: "You know your wife better than I do. All I can say is that I see no 'bint of Jealousy , in -his letter if lhat is any relief to -your 'feelings - His expression was even graver

Millionaire

New than his tone. He turned bis face toward the shadow and crossed his knee as if considering the problem. "Varney leaned across the little table toward him. "Then what can be wrong?" "he demanded eagerly. "I agree with you it doesn't sound like Jeasousy.'" . He paid the waiter and the two men passed out. into the deep shadows of the Champs-Eleyses. For a few minutes they smoked in silence. Varney vas the first to speak. To Be Continued. EATON MASONS ENJOY BANQUET AT NEW PARIS EATON, O., Sept. 13.

W. R. Motley, pastor of the Central Christian church, gave a full and satisfactory explanation before the meeting of the Ministerial association this morning regarding the tabernacle . meetings being conducted by the Rev. Rollin A. Bennett, evangelist, and his party. Rev. Motley explained that church members probably did not understand j the meaning of the word "union" when ! he used it to newspaper men and others in referring to the tabernacle meetings. I Rev. Bennett and R. E. Mitchell of Ironton, O., leader of the chorus, who is a member of the evangelist's party, also 6poke to the ministers giving full information bearing on the part they have in the meetings, and inviting the ministers to co-operate in the movement. While Rev. Motley's explanation and the talks made by the evangelist and Mr. Mitchell -were satisfactory, and the subject was discussed without illfeeling or warm words on the part of any of those present, yet it is understood that the members of the association of pastors of individual congregations will not assume an active part in making the tabernacle meet ings a success as a result. The pastors will continue to regard the campaign as a denominational I movement, one of the officers of the association said this morning, in view of the fact that they had nothing to do with the arrangements, and the committees in charge are made up of Christian church members.
