LONDON PAPERS SEE GREAT VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT IN
 GERMAN ACTION ON ARABIC

London, Aug. 29-The Daily News in an editorial, today hazards the sug- gestion that the submarine that sank the steamer Arabic has itself since been sunk and that therefore Ger nanY3s disav of the action of the un6er water boat commander becomes comparatively easy The editorial continues: 7ei tRs
 eff it is true that Germany is pre- pared to abandon or suspend her at tacks the United States has won a. considerable diplomatic victory. There is not the slightest reason to suppose that pr. Von Bethmann-HoIIWeg (ezerman Imperial Chancel1or( sane tdoned the attack on the Arabic or desired to acerbate the relations with Am erica The sinking of the Arabic may be assumed with some degree of certainty to have been the malig- nant trick of his opponents, the Tir- ! pitzftes, Ydesigned quite as much to embarrass him as to drive America to action
 The paper says that ssthe submisr sion of official Germany to the United States demands is a, fact of historic importance, involving at least recog- hilton of the force of public opinion and in so far justifies President Will sons patient diplomacy
 The editorial adds: eff this really 1 has been accom- plished the President has struck a shrewd blow for peace in other continents than America If the United States can impose condi- stions and limitations on Germany's s war methods other nations can do the same ,and Germany's claim to be her own judge in such matters is once and for all time shattered

Mary Rocco here yesterday and asked Lucia. Matterasfa, who lived there, to be his bride. The girl thought the of fer was a joke and so told F'ulco. who did not like the reply and began to act strangely. Miss Matterasia. ran and F'ulco sent a couple of bullets in her direction. Word was sent to the constab1es and late in the day they found F'uIco near Mrs. Rocco,s house.
 After they had secured F-u1co they found the dynamite and stiIetto in his clothing. There were double dents on the shells in chambers used by F-u1co when he aimed the revolver at Constable Green. The other constable escaped through F'uEco's bad aim.

Opinion In Paris

Paris, Aug. 2S-The Figaro, in an editorial today on the situation grow ing out of the sinking of the steamer Arabic says:
 Germany is a universal distributor of excuses.

The German pitcher has gone to the American we'll too often; it is too badly cracked for further use; new one is wanted.

 There would be fierce complaints "a weapon at American dictation, D says the Standard.
 ''F'or their own satisfaction the Ger mans will adopt a pose of making inn portant but not vital concessions out of pure friendship for the United States and it is not likely that Pres ident Wilson on his part will stand for the strict letter of his demand.

FRIENDLY TONE OF NOTE, HOW.
EVER, GIVES HOPE OF UNDER
STANDING AS TO NEU-
TRIAL SHIPPING.
WILSON AND BRYAN READ
COPY WITHOUT COMMENTS
Holland and Scandinavian Countries
Are Apprehensive Concerning Sit
uation and Have Consulted
United States-Look for
. Removal of Causes.

Washington, Feb. 90. - Germany's
reply to the American note of warn
ing against any attacks on American
vessels or lives in the new sea zones
of wal. served to increase, rather than
to diminish the concern of officials of
the United States government over
possible complications. The friendly
tone of the communication, however,
made a favorable impression and gave
some hope that an understanding for
the protection of neutrals yet might be
obtained.
Officials Are Ap2rehensiVe.
officials were apprehensive over the
formal statement in the note that Ger
many disClaimed all responsibility for
what might happen TO neutral vessels
venturing in the danger areas. The
additional warning, too, that mines
would be laid by Germany in the
water surrounding Great Britain and
Ireland, was regarded by them not
only as menacing to ships carrying
legitimate cargoes, but as likely to add
further 10 the Interruptions which
American commerce has suffered since
the outbreak of the war.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan read the press copy of the Ger,
man note, the official text being de
layed in transmission. 1t is expected
shortly. While no comment was
made at either the White House or
the State Department the feeling of
grave concern was manifest.
That other neutral countries, espe-
cially Holland and the Scandinavian
countries, also are apprehensive con
corning the situation and have con
suited the United States has become
known. While there is no under
standing implying joint action, if any
neutral vessels are sunk the Washing.
ton government has made it plain that
it is in accord with the steps already
taken by other neutral powers, copies
OF their notes and representations hay
ing been furnished to officials here.
Await Note From England.
Secretary Bryan refused to reveal
what steps the United States would
take if American vessels or lives were
lost.
1t was intimated in some official
quarters that the United State is look.
ing for the removal of some of the
causes of the present complication in
the forthcoming answer from England
to the American note concerning the
misuse of flags.
1t was pointed out that if categorical
assurances were given by Great Brit
ain and her allies that none of their
vessels would be permitted to fly the
American or other neutral flags, the
safety OF American vessels in the war
would be guaranteed and Ger
man submarines would be obliged to
visit and search neutral vessels for
contraband before destroying them as
prizes. In this case, it was added, the
dangers for neutral vessels laden with
noncontraband cargoes would be con-
fined only to mines, the indiscriminat
laying of which on the high seas would
be a subject of protest by the United
States unless pilots or safe channels
were given.

GERMANY'S VIEWS SET
FORTH IN REPLY TO u. S

Great Britain is, with the federation
of neutral governments, not only sup
piled with such goods as are not con-
%traband, but with goods which are re-
garded by Great Britain if sent to
Germany, as absolute contraband.
Germany trusts that the neutrals
who SO far have submitted to the dis
advantageous consequences of Great
Brftain's hunger war in silence, or
merely registered a protest, will dis
play for Germany no smaller measure
of tolerance, even if German measures,
like those of Great Britain, present
new terrors of naval warfare.
$
The German government is resolved
to suppress the importation of war
materials to Great Britain and her
allies, and she takes it for granted
that neutral governments, which so
far have taken 10 steps against traf-
ticking in arms with Germany's enc
mics, VIII not oppose forcibie oppres-
sion by Germany of this trade.
If 1t is a formal right of neutrals to
take no steps to protect their legiti-
mate trade with Germany. and even to
allow themselves to be influenced in
the direction of the conscious and
wilful destruction OF their trade, on
the other hand they have the perfect
right. which they unfortunately do not
exercise. to cease contraband trade,
especially In arms. with Germany's
enemies.
Germany is as good as cut off from
Ter overseas supply by the silent o.
protesting federation of neutrals.

SINKS IRISH STEAMER

coasting steamer Downshire was sunk
by a German submarine off Calf of

The submarine which sank the
Downshire was the U-l2. The Ger
mans fired three shots at the steamer
before her captain hove to. After the
crew of the Downshire had taken to
the boats, the Germans placed a bomb
amidships of the steamer and ex-
ploded it. and the Downshire sank in
a few minutes.
