Gary, Ind., Aug. 31.--An apparent at­ tempt to wreck a train carrying enough guncotton to blow up. the whole city of Gary was discovered on Saturday at the height of excitement which has developed w(th the secret agitation and spying revealed in the search for the motive and murderers in the case of Rev. Edmund Kayser. Fifty feet north of the Aetna Pow­ der works, three miles east of Gary, the storm center of plots against ship­ ment of war munitions to England, an effort to derail a train due to leave the works Sunday for the East was discovered. The rivets of a plate holding to­ gether the ends of two rails had been pried or chiseled off and the end of one of the rails had been crowbarred about six inches ou» of line. The discovery was made before the train started by Anton Slazatoski, an employee of the powder works. Armed guards are marching about the plants and spies are at work for both parties of the European strife. Eighty per cent of the Gary popula­ tion is composed of foreigners, almost all of whom have personal and warm interests in the outcome, and every­ body in Gary suspects his neighbor of being a foreign secret service agent. Excitement is running high in the re­ mote quarters of the city, and numer­ ous fights and firearm scrapes have followed the disclosures and conjec­ tures. Acton, Mass., Aug. 31.--The glazing mill of the American Powder company was blown up at 3:30 o'clock Sunday. Murray Ballou, president of the com­ pany, would not attempt to place the responsibility.

Dead Lived Among Slavs and His Pro- Teuton Utterancea Aroused En­ mity of Neighbors. * Gary. - Ind., Aug. 27.--Out of a mass of evidence two theories developed in the investigation of the assassina­ tion of Rev. Edmund A. M. Kayser, the Tolleston (Ind.) pastor. Kayser was shot twice while in his study on Tuesday night. The first, and. the police think, more plausible solution of the mys­ terious murder is that the pastor was the victim of fanatical protagonists of the allies because of his pro-Ger­ man utterances. The second theory finds its founda­ tion in the fact that the clergyman had become involved in a factional fight in the Evangelical Lutheran church, of which he was pastor, and bad received numerous threatening letters as a resulL Kayser's emphatic pro-German stand since the outbreak of the Buropeaq, war often had involved him in street fights.

Aug. 38.--Diplomatic developments in the Arabic case are such that it can be said authoritative­ ly fhat the end of the entire contro­ versy with Germany is in sight, with Germany prepared to concede all the demands of the United States on the understood condition that this govern­ ment carry out Its suggestion of medi­ ation between Germany and Great Britain on the freedom of, the seas. All danger, therefore, of a break be­ tween the two governments appears fo have passed. Germany has inforried the United States officially that for several months her submarine commanders have been acting under instructions not to torpedo passenger vessels with­ out giving warning. Count von Bernstortf. the German ambassador, assured Secretary of State Lansing that if the evidence shows conclusively that the subma­ rine commander disregarded his In­ structions and torpedoed the Arabic without warning, tho German govern­ ment will disavow the act and *, offer reparation for the lives of the Ameri­ cans. Mrs. Joseph L. Brugiere and Dr. Edmund T. Woods. From the German standpoint the principal points in the last note of the United States were the demand that Germany disavow the sinking of the Lusitania and promise reparation for the loss of American lives; the re­ quest for assurance) that there would be no repetition of the offenses In the future; and the suggestion that the United States attempt to bring about an understanding between Germany and Great Britain regarding the free­ dom of the seas. It was announced here that Ger­ many is prepared to accept the three proposals, and that coupled with its representations on the sinking of the Arabic, there will be a declaration equivalent to a disavowal of the sink­ ing of the Lusitania and an offer to pay indemnity for the lives of the Americans who went down with the vessel.

A long cable message was received by Secretary of State Lansing from Ambassador Gerard relating to the Arabic case and was of sufficient im­ portance to require a visit > of Mr Lansing to the White House. Mr. Lansing declined to state even the sub­ ject matter of the cablegram, but It is known that it contained a discus­ sion of internal politics at Berlin, and the Arabic case, and the general pros­ pects of the terms on which an agree­ ment between the United Stated and Germany might be predicated. After the receipt of this dispatch from Mr. Gerard, the British ambassa­ dor, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice called on the state department trade advisers and on other officials of the state de­ partment. After these two developments, it was indicated very strongly that Great Britain was willing to modify the orders in council BO far as they affected the export of dye stuffs from Germany and millions of dollars' worth of goods held at Rotterdam under contract for shipment to the United States. State department authorities, read­ ing between the lines of what they have from the German" foreign office, seem to think that Germany will frankly disavow the act of the com­ mander of the submarine who at­ tacked the Arabic if he did not give the warning required by international law and demanded by this govern­ ment. They say that a great point will be thus gained and that the next step would be easy for Germany to abandon all attacks on unarmed mer­ chant vessels. This would pave the way for a second suggestion to Great Britain by the United States in line with the identical note of February 20. That note was a disjunct pffer of mediation, provided that England and Germany would make mutual conces­ sions. BATTLE HIGH IN THE AIR Italians and Austrlans Fight Hand-to- Hand Combat on Edge of Precipices.
