NOT DANGEROUS TO HEART Statement Makes Defense Against Charges of Some Physicians-Treatment Should be Administered Early. Madison. To dispel an impression that prevails to a certain exteut that the use of antitoxin in diphtheria is dangerous, and at the same time to call attention to the practice of certain physicians in the state who, when they have failed in the timely use of antitoxin, blame it for the evil consequences resulting from their failure, Dr.

O. A. Harper of the state board of health gives out the following statement: "With the present knowledge of treating diphtheria there should be no deaths from this disease If tho nature of the ailment is discovered soon after the clinical symptoms become manifest and antitoxin is freely used. "In some few cases the physicians have stated that the death was due to heart failure as a result of administering antitoxin. This Is not true.

Either the physician was not called ehrly enough so that the antitoxin could be administered in the early stages of tho disease, or through neglect the physician in attendance did not use antitoxin as promptly as he should. "In every case of diphtheria antitoxin should be used during the first day, if possible. If tills is done com plete recovery can be assured. "There is no evidence for the state ment that antitoxin depresses the heart, or is dangerous in any state of diphtheria."

HARPER GERMANY AND GREAT BRITAIN TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO UNITED STATES- MEDIATION HOPE IS SEEN Modification of Blockade and Submarine Warfare May Lead Wilaon Again to Offer His Good Offices. Washington, Sept. 1. State department officials expressed the opinion that the way Is being cleared rapidly for another effort by the United States to get England and Germany to agree to the principle of the freedom of the seas with direct bearing on the reopening of neutral trade with Germany. A long cable message was received by Secretary of State Lansing from Ambassador Gerard relating to the Arabic case and was of sufficient Importance to require a visit of Mr.

Lansing to the White House. Mr. Lansing declined to state even the subject matter of the cablegram, but It Is known that It contained a discussion of internal politics at Berlin, a Ad the Arabic case, and the general prospects of the terms on which an agreement between the United States and Germany might be predicated. After the receipt of this dispatch from Mr. Gerard, the British ambassador.

Sir Cecil Spring-Rice called on the state department trade advisers and on other officials of the state department-After these two developments, it was indicated very strongly that Great Britain was willing to modify the orders in council so 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, reading between the lines of what they have from the German foreign office, seem to think that Germany will frankly disavow the act of the commander of the submarine who attacked the Arabic If he did not give the warning required by International law and demanded by this government. 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 merchant 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 distinct offer of mediation, provided that England and Germany would make mutual concessions.

GERMANY CANNOT NOW EXPLAIN SUBMARINE COMMANDER'S ACTION. DESTROYED BY THE BRITISH Dispatch From Liverpool Says Boat Was Shelled by Patrol Ship and the Entire Crew Perished Set tlement of Affair Believed Near. Liverpool, SepL 2. The German submarine which sank the White Star liner Arabic was sank the following day by a British patrol boat This fact was confirmed here. While the submarine was engaged in trying to hold up the Leyland liner Nicosian, a British patrol boat came up and shelled the submarine.

All the mem bers of the submarine's crew lost their lives. This incident, coupled with the ac tivities of the British navy, while comparatively insignificant from a mili tary viewpoint, will probably prove of marked importance in smoothing the way to a friendly settlement of this phase of the controversy between the United States and Germany. Everyone here believes that, except as to minor details, the settlement of the Arabic affair will reduce the Lusl tania dispute to the status ot a moot case. The sinking of the offending U-boat, which seesis to have been accompanied by the loss of her commander and crew, removes the one obstacle to ful fillment of the pledge of the German imperial chancellor.
