LANSING ID CONFER
 WITH bERNSTORFF
 AGAIN ON ARABIC
Will Reiterate Request That Germany Assume Full Responsibility for Loss
 of American Life

Washington, October 4.-Secretary Ian. sing will confer again with Count vor Bernstorff, the German ambassador, with. in the next two days and explain to him that the last communication he presented with reference to the Arabic case did not meet fully the views of the United States government.
 |. The ambassador will be informed. it is understood, that the document does not go far enough. in that while Germany admits her submarine commander whc torpedoed the Arabic erred in assuming that the liner was trying to commit g hostile act, no liability or responsibility for the mistake is assumed The United States has insisted throughout that there must be reparation for the loss of the American lives and assurances that there will be no repetition of the practice ol totpedoing ships without warning. As surance as to the future. given several weeks ago by the German ambassador are. understood to have been repeated but on the manner in which the ques- tion of liability is disposed of depends the success or failure of the present ne- gotiations.
 High officials do not consider that the situation again has become critical and they indicated today confidence that It would be adjusted amicably. This. it Is iIn6erstood, proceeds from the theory that Count Bern6torK has full powers to sat :isfy ultimately the American demands. .- Officials declined to describe in tech nical diplomatic language the nature of the communication given by Ambassador BernstorR to Secretary Lansing. It has been commonly referred to as note.

 Delayed cables told of the landing of the allied troops at Saloniki With these reports arrived comments from the Athens papers, the gist of which was that the appearance of French and British soldiers in Greece at time when Greece was still outwardly neutral should cause no excitement. in that their mission, as one Of the Athens papers expressed it. was ito defend the railway against Bulgarian aggression and give help to Servia, the ally of Greece"

1 don. 1925 D. m)-Unless Bulgaria has ! fully conceded the demands of Russia
 coi corning the breaking off of relations | with the central powers by o'clock this
 afternoon, the Russian minister at Sofia and his staff, will depart. However. as | Russia draws a distinction between the Bulgarian government and the Bulgarian people. no repressive measures will be
 adopted against Bulgarian subjects in Russia.
 | Even M. Madjariow, Bulgarian minister to Russia, will not be expelled. His pass ports will not be given to him, and he will be permitted to remain undisturbed, although no official relations will be
 ma ;rtained with him as the representa- tive of King Ferdinand.
 The foreign office explains that the fact that Russia alone sent an ultimatum to Bulgaria was due to voluntary recogni- ton on the part of her allies of this nations predominance in the Balkans and of her moral claim upon the gratitude of the Balkan peoples.
 Whether England. France and Italy will withdraw their representatives in Sofia in case Russia takes this action has not yet been decided. Russia felt com pc,led to make this move in view of the failure of all efforts to bring pressure through other means on.

CAMBRIDGE, Eng.-The Minor
Horrors of War" are described in a
pamphlet written by Prof. A. Z. Ship.

The booklet deals with the various

dealing with these minor horrors
are discussed in simple language, as
the book is planned for circulation
among the troops. .*s .
The book begins with lice, which

JAPANESE AFTER
WIDE MARKET
in PACIFIC

japanese business men seek a new
market in the South Pacific, with the
practical elimination of German in
terests from groups of islands. say
officers in the freighter Amagisan
Maru, now at Honolulu from Japan
with full cargo including coal and
general merchandise and provisions,
a portion of which will be landed at
Ocean and other neighboring islands.
The Japanese steamer completed
passage from Mororan, Japan, in Is
days. 1t was given a berth at the
lnter-lsland Steam Navigation wharf.
where about 1909 tons of coal will be
discharged. Capt. Y. Umeda expected
to load full shipment of phosphate
rock at Ocean island for Japan.
The Amagisan Maru is one of the
first vessels flying the Japanese col
crs to take up the new trade in the
South Pacific. Other freight carriers
have called here and departed to the
South Seas but in the early stages of
the war they were expected to carry
supplies to a Japanese fleet.
~ Capt. Umeda may be asked to keep
watch for the British steamer kes-
trel, expected daily at Honolulu.
