Church officials were very retleent on the matter, but expected that a formal statement on the subject would be made this week. A meeting of the churc'i members has been sum? moned for Wednesday. When seen by a representative of the "Daily News'" last night Dr. lamp bell declined to make any statement.

"A good slice of country," the pas? tor said, "is practically in British oc? cupation. We have a very large army, and I do not think it humanly possi? ble that the German* will, ever break through to Calais. The ghastliest wounds Dr. Camp bell saw were those produced by liquid fire.

The Truth: News Editorials Advertisements Bernstorff Seeks Lansing; Hopes Frank Discussion Will End Arabic Crisis ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES CAUSES UNEASINESS IN BERLIN Berlin. Sept. 12.?Publication of the Arabic note, although evoking virtually no comment in the German press, indubitably has caused a feeling of uneasiness here over the probable attitude of the United States. The note in itself appears to be highly satisfactory to the public penerally, but the constant inquiries received at the offices of The Associated Press for news or predictions on the American attitude are only cne cf the indications of the apprehension that the Arabic note and th?* Hesperian case may result in a renewal of the tension which was believed to have relaxed with Ambassador von Bernstorff's com? munication to Washington cf the instructions given to submarine com? manders Well informed Germans, such as Maximilian Harden, editor of "Die Zukunft," believe the situation agein serious, not so much because of its intrinsic merit? as on account of the manner ir. which it has been handled. Wilson Headed for War; Seeks Conflicting Ends \\ ir?hes to Champion Law. but Hesitates to Use Threat of Force, the Only Argument Which Can Turn Germany from Course Sure to Arouse United States. By FRANK H. SIMONDS. Washington. Sept. 12.?Viewed at close rr.nge there is no mistaking the fact that President Wilson's foreign policy is leading straight to that brenk with Germany which Count von Bernstorff's insolent intimation indicated means war. No other conclusion is possible after the briefest study at the capital of the spirit and method of Mr. Wilson's diplomacy. The reason for such pessimism is not found in any administrative chauvinism. This does not exits. It is found in the fact that Mr. Wilson has adopted and steadfastly maintained two purposes which are mutually exclusive and which combined prevent any possible pacific solution of our trouble with Germany. Mr. Wilson is determined to maintain for the United States the role of champion and defender of international law, and he is equally deter? mined to do nothing which will invite the criticism of the Southern and Middle Western constituencies, which, he feels certain, desire peace at any price. The consequences of following such dual purposes are not to be mis? taken. On the one hand there is not the smallest chance of reaching any agreement with Germany based on any concession on our part of any fraction of the intention to defend humanity, civilization, international law. On the other hand, during all the disputes, affairs, incidents which flow from our insistence upon the observation of international law, the President will take no positive action to give vitality to his position as de tender of the international faith. He will do nothing that might convince iiermany in the remotest degree of his intention to defend his cause with ( ontlnur.l on page ?, column 71 ?

Arbitration Still Incertain. A high otleial of the Btete I'epart ment said to-night that no decision had been reached ns to what this govern? ment would do concerning the German proposai to Ir.'ive certain phftMl of the Arabic question to arbitration. In : ire, however, th.it the proposal may be accented, leafing the way ? to resume the discussion of the ! tania affair, but neither Pre." Wilson nor Secretary Lansing has reached any definite decision. Secretary Lansing may ask Count vo.i Bemstortf to-morrow for assur? ances that if this government maeapxs the arbitration proposal it will he only on the . : Bg that It dea!? with the ?

To permit the Lusi tat'ia quostion, ;-i which the whole principe of the controversy with Ger? many is bound up, to lie in abeyance dunntr that time would be manifestly impossible. The question to be arbitrated, as , the State Department reads the Ger j man note, is whether Germany i? liable ! for indemnity in case of damage to American interests through a mistake 'in judgment by her submarine com-', ! manders.
