LpsspiioiI.
Washisotov. Sept in - Disappointed
and perpnxed hy tlermnny'a nnte on the
Arabic case. Administration officials are
now looking forward to the receipt of
another Oermnn note on the submarine
Issue reported to have been handed to
Ambassador (lerard laat night.
While no word has been received from
j the Ambnsaador about a new note, the
I State Department has reason to believe
that the communication said lo have
lieen delivered last evening is the Her
man 00 tram Ptent'S reply to the last gen
eral note of the Til ted States on the
submarine question Ambassador von
llernstorff some time ago let It be known
to the State Department that his Hov-
ernmenl was tepiying to tn Preatdent'a
last note, and that It was his under
standing that it waa favorable, it is
hoped here to-night that the general note
may afford a better basis for satisfaction
regarding Germany's attitude toward
the submarine Issue than does her note
on the Arabic case.
V oiding to the understanding Which
has existed here for some time, the 'lei
man Qovarmnont bad reached a definite
decision .is to ihe character of Its le
SHinae to the President s lust note be
tore the Ami,.,- ncldonl oooarrod. The
note could not be presented, as plai I.
a tne ( lilted States i lovermiient gave
Ambassador von BernstorfE to under
stand that before discussing the general
question t desired a statement from
llei tin or the Arabic case.
1 Ids has now been received, and the
waj la Itai for the presentation of the
general note. Meant. me another cast
has been laid be fort the Berlin Gov
ernment, that of tlie Heaparlan, and
there seems to be no immediate llkell
hrxsl of a termination of the exchange.
It has been stated here that Herman.,
Planned to send a note Which would
over ail phases of the SIlUol.ll llie issue
with tlie I'llltcd Stales in 11 way that
would avori danger of a bresk between
the two Uovsrumente. in the first place,
according to Information avallabl, here.
Ilerlln planned to meet he I'nited
States on the question of the Lusltanla
and other ciis.s In the past and go as
far as It felt It could inward offering
complete satisfaction,
it is declared thai Oerntany Intended
to announce in thai nuts for the tlrsi
lane the fact that submarines were
tinier orders not to attack passenger
Ships without warning and without re
gard for the safet) of those on board,
unless the vtOSOls offered resistance or
tried to escape.
Finally, it was l.ittnded to acouletce in
Preeldsnl Wilson's statement thai Ihe
freedom of the seas oiuhl be tttored
during this wur and ask him to act on
this statement that he would hold loin
self ready to suggest a vva, bv which
this could be done. This last, of course.
Was described hei e as a 11 tldeavor to
meet the I tilted States half way and
also as an Invitation to this liovernnient
to live up to Qtrminy'i expectations
that It would be most vigorous In seek
ing from lire it Britain an observance oi
International law.
Whether the Berlin Oovtrnment has
adhered to this plan in tie notf deliv
ered to Ambassador 1 lerard last night
: not yet known, Tt is the gtneral
belief however, that Ii will be found
thai she has not depart, I grant!) from
what were her intentions three or four
we. Us ago
To 1 ml I Root I nnlrot erst .
it was Ambassador von Btrnst orfTs
belief Hint the note, which he believed
10 have been decided on in Berlin,
would practically end the controversy
between the two tlovernnients. It was
for that teason that as soon as be re
reived instructions stating explicitly
the limitation on submarine
ers with regard to passenger ships he
proceeded to the Stale lisps 1 tuieiit and
communicated ihls to Secretary Lan- I
sing. j
The latter proclaimed it ns a recog
nition of the fundamental principle for
which the United States has contended.
It was everywhere admitted that at
least the Herman statement offered
something in the nature of a beginning
of tin understanding and that it was
not too much to hope that from this
general statement an agreement ns to
the treatment of particular cases might
be reached.
The disappointing character of the
Herman note on the Arabic case, how
ever, has lessened the confidence In this
regard While It Is still believed that
the danger of a complete rupture be
tween the two Hovernments has largely
disappeared for the moment, there is
not that same hopefulness and confi
dence that the Issue Is near a tattle
ment that there was a week ago.
Should Oermany admit that a Herman
submarine sank the Canadian liner Hes
perian, but still claim that the blame
was not hers, there i no doutit that the
effect on Washington opinion WOUld be
most depressing.
Secretary Lansing to-day admitted
himself to be at a loss to understand
lhe Arabic note, referring particularly
to the last two paragraphs, discussing
pissslble arbitration. In some quarters
the conclusion was reached here tn-day
that these paragraphs can he discarded,
since they nullify one another.
Won't trliltrnte Moral Issue.
That Is. It is declared Impossible for
any court lo ssy whether Hermany
should pay damages In the Arabic case
without passing upon the rights and
wrongs of lhe Herman submarine cam
paign This question, however. Oer
many Inslsls must he left out of the ar
bitration The belter here Is that the
two propositions are mutually exclusive
and that together they have no value
whatsoever, although It l not for a
moment presumed that Hermany so 'n-
Uuulcd them
Tlie effect of lhe in te Is regarded here
I as resolving Itself into a question of
I fact did or did not the Arabic Intend
I to ram the Herman submarine?

The (teneral situation has been so clarified. In the opinion of Wash-inj-ton
officials, that no serious trouble is now expected with Germany.
It is believed that Ihe relations with the Berlin Government will improve
steadily.
Strong hope is also entertained thai Aust riu-Hungary will not hand
the American Ambassador at Vienna his passports or request his recall
in retaliation for the action in Dr. Dumba's case.
According to an investigation conducted in the middle West the cen
tres of Dr. Dumba's propaganda included Cleveland nnd Detroit, where
the munition plants have been frustrating plots to foment strikes.
