St. Louls, Mo., Aug. 23.—The reced- ing of the flood of the Meramec river today failed to substantiate reports that twelve persons were drowned Sunday when the river rose to a new high mark and it was thought that none perished in the overflow. It was impossible to estimate accu- rately the damage from the in east- ern and sou Missourl was under water: hundreds of summer resorters had been driven from their clubhouses, tents and cottages the streams; and the greater part of the town of Valley Park, 19 miles from St. Louis, was inundated. Thirty-five hundred persons in Val- ley Park were made homeless Sunday and this afternoon a relief committee voted to appeal to Governor OMajor of Missouri for aid. It was said $100,- was needed for the relief of the des- titute in Valley Park. SPECIAL CITY MEETING VOTED APPROPRIATIONS $1,500 for Fire Department and $200 for Pleasant Street Grading. Willimantic, Aug. 23.—About fifty electors attended the special city meeting held Monday evening in the town hall. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn called the meeting to order at $.10.

Only two resolutions were presented, both of which were adopted and the meeting lasted only six minutes. On motion of George M, Graves the sum of $1,500 was appropriated from the treasury to be expended by the com- mon council for the benefit of the fire department. This will be used for the purchase of an additional hose and the reflooring of the Montgomery Hose Co. house on Jackson etreet. On motion of A. L.

The only notable development today was a break in the official silence which has surrounded the White House. Secretary Tumuity after con- ferring with President Wilson, issucd this statement: “As soon as all the facts regarding the Arabic are ascertained our course of action will be determined™ Only Fragmentary Knowledge. Secretary Lansing declared that al the information so far in the han of the state department was frag- mentary and that details still were being sought. Ambassador Page at London, who had forwarded by mail statement including some offidavits of American survivors, was Instructed to send immediately a sum- mary by flhle. Some despatches were r{\ from him, but they were not made public because, it was under- stood, the department was unwilling to give out material which it consid- ered incomplete. Strain Grows Hourly. While the situation still was a walt- ing one, official quarters reflected the strain which grows hourly, as no word comes from the German government. The United States had clearly ex- its opposition to destruction of merchant ships without warning and had pointedly warned Germany agalnst repetition of such tragedies in which Americans are involved. In the opinion of state department offi- clals it is not now incumbent upon the American government to ask Germany for an excuse for the conduct of the sutmarine commander who sunk the Arable.

He was not, however, in- structed to ask for one. May Not Wait for Germany. It is sald the state department will not necessarily wait indefinitely on Germany before taking whatever ac- tion is decided uron, neither does it intend to invite or encourage argu- ment. All it wants now are the facts. When these are assembled the offi- cials are convinced their evidence is properly substantiated President Wil- son will lay the case before the cab- inet. No meeting has been called for tomorrow, a regular cabinet day, and all the cabinet members but three are out of the city. Several days more may pass before there is a definite development. Meanwhile the situation remains unchanged, - with President Wilson and his advisers waiting and prepared to act as the situation may demand. CAPTAIN OF ARABIC SURE SHE WAS TORPEDOED Saw the Wi Streak Made by the Passage of the Torpedo. Liverpool. Aug. 23, 11:45 p. m— Captain William Finch of the sunk- en White Star Line steamer Arabic tonight gave The Assoclated Press a statement bearing on the cabled re- ports that some German officials claimed that there was no proof that the Arabic had been sunk by a Ger- man submarine and that she might have met with disaster by running in- to a British mine. ‘There 1is not the slightest doubt that it was fired at the Arabic de- Iiberately. It is quite true that we never saw any submarine or any per. iscope; but I saw thte white streak made by the passage of the torpedo through the water—a white streak that commneced with air bubbles in the water 3,00 yards from us at the point where it was disc at us. “There was no mistaking of the cause of that white stresk, which end- ed in a torpedo entering the ship and causing the expiosion which sank the vessel. 1 was not alone in seeing it. The chief officer, the second officer and many passengers saw it. No one can doubt for a moment that it was deliberately fired at the Arabic. Those aboard the submarine evidently saw us and got into position ready to re- lease their torpedo. “The fact that nobody on the Arabic saw a_submarine may be ex- plained. Those in command of it could submerge and leave only a small portion of the periscope showing above the water. When the missile was sent at us under such eircum- stances it would be impossible for those on the Arabic to see either the submarine or the periscope. “The suggestion that a mine caused the explosion is perfectly absurd. repeat that there was only one thing that sent the Arabic to the bottom.

Washington, Aug. 3.—Treasury of- ficials tonight made public _an an- nouncement by Secretary McAdoo that, in view of the action of the allies in putting cotten on the contraband list. e would, if it became necessary, posit 330,000,000 or more I KON 1n the federal reserve banks at Atlanta, Dal- las ana ond_for the purpose’ of enabling reserve banks to redis- count loans on cotton secured by ware- house receipts made by national banks and state banks belonging to the fed- eral reserve system. Temporarily Without Interest. The gold woud be deposited tempor- arily, at least, without interest c It was explained that if it appeared that the object could be accomplished With greater efficiency, thereby, deposits would be made directly with national banks agreeing to lend the money on cotion at a rate not to ex- ceed six percent® To Uphold Cotton Market, Secretary McAdoo authorized the an- nouncement from his summer home at North Haven, Maine. It came at the close of a day of speculation in official circles as to the nature of steps which the entente powers have indicated they will take to uphold the cotton market in the face of their contraband order. Justified by Unusual Situation. “In the exercise of the discretion given to him by law”, read the treasury statement, “Secretary McAdoo said that the government will for the time being charge no interest on these de- posits in federal reserve banks; that such is justified by the unusual sit- uation respecting cotton caused by the European war: that he considers it his duty to use every available mean: in his power to help the cotton pro- ducer of the south in the circumstances that it is a matter of economic im- portance to the entire nation that those who have produced the cotton crop shall have a fair oportunity to dispose of it gradually and in an or- derly manner so they may not be forced. through inability o market . ToUBell it at sacrince pr Carry Cotton Until Marketed. “The secretary sald that one ofy his chief objects was to create a basis for such enlarged credit in the south that the banks will have ample re- sources to extend to producers such accommodations that they will be able to carry cotton in warehouses for a reasonable length of time until it can be marketed advantageously. In order to accomplish this, he said, the state and national banks which are members of the federal reserve system should make loans on warehouse receipts for insured cotton at low rates of interest; that the banks can well afford to carry cotton for producers at six percent pecially if they are able to re-dis count cotton paper at the federal re- serve banks at a much lower Tate than six percent; that the credit resources of the banks of the country are great- er than ever before in our history and that there is no reason why the banks should not, in co-operation with th merchants ‘of the south, help the cot ton producers with leans at low rates in the present peculiar situation. May Deposit in Other Bank. “Mr. McAdoo said, however, that should it apear that the object in view could be accomplished with greater efficiency to the cotton pro- ducers, the merchants and the banks of the south by’depositing government funds in the national banks direct in- stead of in the’ federal reserve banks, he would take that course and make deposits in euch national banks as would give him the assurance that the money 80 deposited or the credit based thereon would be loaned on cotton in- sured or warehoused and at a rate of interest not to exceed six percent. “The secretary declared he believed that there was no occasion for alarm about the future of cotton.” e TO PROTEST AGAINST COTTON AS CONTRABAND New American Note to Be Redrafted for That Purpose. Washington, Aug. ' 22—The new American note to Great Britain on in-! terference with neutral trade probably will be re- because of the Bri- tish order making cotton contraband. The note has been vifually com- pleted. It mow will be altered and Pprobably will treat at length the ques- tion of the validity under interna- tional law of Great Britain's last ac- tion. While there 4s no intention to abandon the claims for payment for gotton seized prior to the British or- der, those cases now have a different status anq a complete record of this phase of the dispute can be prepared and presented.
