ARABIC CASE
IS SETTLED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Following
a conference between President Will
son and Secretary of State Lansing
this afternoon officials intimated that
the entire submarine controversy be-
tween this country and Germany had
been entirely cleared up and that all
danger of a break in diplomatic rela-
tions was passed. So optimistic were
they that officials declared that a
statement on the matter probably
would be issued from the white house
within a few hours. It is generally un-
derstood that Count Won Bernstorff's S
memorandum handed to Lansing this
morning which in effect completely
disavowed the sinking of the Arabic
had satisfied President Wilson.

HURL GERMANS BACK
Teutons Penetrate French Lines, But

Ere tfiVen Back.
In the western theater of war the
greatest activity is now displaye! on
the allies right wing, especially in
the Vosges, where the French are
using heavy forces against the Ger

The repu1.e of German attacks
south of La Faye, in the Vosges, is an.

The French war office.
In the region of Arrecourt, east OF

of Germans, supported by artillery,
was driven back by the French fire.
Strong German attacks were direct

southeast of Colmar, Upper Alsace,
and part of the French line was pane-

East of MetZeral, Alsace, the Ger

GERMANS ARE
NEAR WARSAW
Russian defenders Hurled Back
10 West Of City.
KAISER 8 MILES FROM GOAL
Invaders Are Checked by Fortresses
on North and South-lvangorod De-
fenses Reported Invested.

The Austro-German armies continue
to press the Russian forces defending
Warsaw, the Polish capital, and, while
they have made progress at several
points, they nave not as yet made any
serious breach in the we'll fortified
inner lines defending the city.
The Russians, it is true, have been
pressed back almost to the bridge
head positions directly west of War
saw-at Nadarzyth the Germans arc
only eight and a half miles from the
outer works-and into the fortress OF
IVangorod, farther to the southeast,
on the Vistula. But at these points
they are probably in better position
to offer stubborn resistance to their
opponents.
The report of the investment OF
report puzzles military experts, who
declare it i impossible that the greaf
fortress could have been surrounded
completely.
Southwark from Warsaw, to the
west of the Vistula, the Germans re
port a victory for the Silesian land
wehr, which stormed the Russian po.
sitions and threw back their defend.
ers into tie fortress OF Ivangorod. As
the scene of the SiIesian success is
fifteen miles from the fortress, 1t is
bclieyei the German official reports
must have been translated erroneous
ly, claiming the investment of the for
tress itself when the outlying pro
tecting forts were meant.
The atta''t that is being made from
the north along the Narew river by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, and
that which Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen is directing from the southeast,
between the Vistula and Bug, appar
emily have been held up, or the Ger
mans ara waiting for an opportune
moment to move forward and catch
the Russian armies, should Grand
Duke Nicholas decide to evacuate
Warsaw.
The Be~lin official statement, at
any rate, does not assert any advance
for Won Nj kensen, while the report,
although it states that the Russians
have ceased their counter attacks
along the Narew, does not mention
any success on the part of Won Hin
dcnburg.
However, should the Russians hold
Warsaw, it would surprise the mill
tary critics of the allied countries
who have discounted the loss of the
city, alta led from all sides by op
ponents possessed of superiority in
guns and munitions.
