Break Again In View.

No announcement was made after
the White House conference. Secre-
tary Lansing said merely that ii was
inadvisable to comment on the situa-
tion while the negotiations were still
confidential He declined to say what
the next step would be, but it was
learned later the German Ambassador
would be asked to come to Washing
ton soon to receive the view which the
American Government takes of the
last German note. Count Won Bern
storff is fully authorized by his Gov
ernment to conduct the submarine
negotiations.
While the situation has improved
to the extent that there is no danger
of an immediate break in diplomatic
relations, as the note affords an op-
portunity for further negotiation, 1t
was stated reliably that final refusal by
Germany to meet the American view
point on the Arabic case might bring
about the threatened rupture in diplo-
matte relations.

Details Kept Secret.

Just what the details are on which
the two governments are in conflict is
not definitely known because Of the
veil of secrecy enveloping the nego-
tiations. In general, it was learned
that Germany, after examining the
evidence submitted by the United
States came to the conclusion that
her submarine commander erred in as.
suming that the Arabic was intent on
ramming the German submarine when
steaming to rescue the passengers on
the British steamer Dunsley.
This admission of a mistake would
amount to a disavowal of the act, but
the United States has insisted that
disavowal must be accompanied by an
assumption of responsibility and liza
bility, and that full reparation must
be given for American lives lost Ger
many, in her first note, indicated that
even il the German commander made
mistake, the Imperial Government
would not feel obligated to pay dam.

President Wilson has taken the
position that the United States cannot

Less than six months ago a new era
in long.distance telephoning with the
use Of wires began when President
Wilson talked over the wires from the
White House TO the Administration
Building at the Panama-Pacifc Exposi-
tion at San Francisco. Up to that
time the telephone had never been
used for such a distance.
Today's announcement completely
eclipsed this, for not only was the Sec
retary of the Navy able to announce
that the human voice had been car
ried from Washington to San Fran
cisco without the use of wires but the
incident made it reasonable to predict
that within a comparatively short
while it would be possible to hold
regular telephone conversations with
ships at sea.
