Germany expects the United States

Governments Of Europe
Planning For Peace in !.
Nations Favor
CHANCE TO END WAR
officials in Washington Are at Pre-,
sent Closely Watching Moves in
Game of Diplomacy.

Washington, Aug. ST. srea'
game of world politics is being play
ed, with the friendship Of the United
: States as the. grand prize.
Diplomats and officials Of the
Washington Government are watch
ing the moves with great interest
some of them with anxiety, for they
realize the vast possibilities involv
ed in the outcome.
Dovetailing into the situation are
the Balkan diplomatic crisis. the sub
marine issue between the Unlteo
States and Germany, the differences
between this Government and Great
Britain over the restrictions on
American commerce through the ap-
plication- of the British blockade
the munitions shipments question.
the German propaganda in this coun-
try, and, above all, what seems to be
an effort to create impression that
President Wilson may be able to take
the lead in q new and positive pro-
posal for peace between the warning
powers Of Europe.
Developments in the great game to-
day involved the Arabic incident
which at one time threatened to cause
a break in American relations with
Germany, and the British policy Of res
tricting the shipment to the United
States of German bought goods.
A dispatch to the State Depart
ment from James w. Gerard, the
American Ambassador at Berlin, told
Of opposition by Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz to the promised program OF
giving complete satisfaction to the
American Government for the sink
inp of the Arabic while the British
Embassy notified the department
that it was due to German and not
British opposition that cargoes Oh
dyestuffs, bought in Germany by
American firms, were not shipped to
this country.
The British notification showed that
Great Britain was willing and ready
to modify some of the restrictions
on American trade with Germany and
neutral countries contiguous to Ger
man territory for which this country
has been contending.
t appears from Ambassador Ge-
rard's report that Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz is not willing:to go to the
limit of satisfying the: United States
that has been indicated in the as
surances given to this Government.
Herr Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg, the I'M
periai Chancellor, has promised com
piete satisfaction" !"
While the details of Ambassador
Gerard's dispatch are not made
known officially, the opposition OF the
Grand Admiral to the program loI
furnishing satisfaction to the United
State is understood to be directed tt
the desire of the Imperial Chancellor
and the Foreign Minister to assure
this Government that the submarine
commander will be punished. To this
the Grand Admiral is said to object
on the ground that it would have a
bad effect on the discipline and ac.
tivity of the submarine fleet.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
and Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz are
reported to have gone to the east
ern front to lay the matter of dis
pute before Emperor William. 1t is

able deficiency appropriations and $4,000
for miscellaneous debt red"mptions, will

that the disbursements for the Panama

MESSAGE FROM BERLIN.

$50 far no official information Is
available concerning the einking OF
the Arabic. The German government
trusts that the American government
will not take definite stand at hear.
ing only the reports of one side, which
in the opinion Of the imperial govern
ment can not correspond with the
facts, but that chance will be given
to Germany to be heard equally. Al
though the imperial government does
not doubt the good faith of the wit
nesses whose statements are reported
by the newspapers in Europe, it should
be borne in mind that those state
ments are naturally made under ex-
citement, which might easily produce
wrong Impressions.
"k Americans should have actually
lost their lives this would naturally
be contrary to our intentions. The
German government would deeply re-
gret the fact, and hess to tender sim
eerest sympathy to the American gov
eminent"
The statement, carried no signature.

bassador's secretary.
Secretary Lansing indicated that he
did not intend to reply to the amhas-
