ANOTHER NOTE FROM
GERMANY EXPECTED

Washington. Sept. 13.-Hope for a
satisfactory settlement OF the German
American controversy is based on a
dispatch saying a note supplemental
of the submarine attack on the Arabic
had been delivered to Ambassador Ge-
rard in Berlin.
The German-American situation
overshadowed In official circles all
other foreign questions. Ii revived
talk OF an open rupture, with sever
ance of diplomatic relations.
While there is no official foundation
for reports that break is imminent
II was significant that the government
made no effort to deny or deplore the
widespread speculation.
The president and Secretary Lam
sing devoted much time to studying
the Arabic note. II was indicated that
no action would be taken, at least un-
til the supplementary note is received.
This, according to general belief. is
either Germany's detailed note on the
Lusitania case or a statement outlin-
ing Germany's new policy of warning
ships before torpedoing.
Secretary Lansing said the admins.
tration's course could not be decided
until after a careful study of the aft
davits from the Arabic's crew and
passengers.

CROWN PRINCE HITS
FRENCH LINE VAINLY

Paris, Sept. 13.-The violent fight
ing In the Argonne the past few days
was the result of an effort of the army
of the German crown prince to break
through the French lines.
His forces have attempted several
times in previous months to break
through the French front, but so far
Rave scored no definite success. The
statement is made here that this army
has lost upwards of 100000 men, one
corps alone losing 10000 from the
ranks, which are being continually de-
pleted and refilled.
The latest attempt was made with
powerful artillery and a large num-
ber of troops. Apparently 1t has had
no appreciable results; except that the
German losses were heavier than
those they inflicted.
The Germans were able to penetrate
the French trenches on a portion of
the front, but were checked immedi-
ately. They renewed their attacks
again and again, but with such Sc
we're losses that they gave up the eff
fort.
This offensive movement, it is said
on good authority, has not modified
the situation in the Argonne.

SEEK HALF BILLION
IN UNITED STATES

New York, Sept 13.-The joint An
glo-French commission, which has
arrived to negotiate a credit loan of
at least $500, 100000 to pay for Ameri-
can made war munitions and other
supplies, met about 100 prominent
bankers. insurance company heads
and other fnanciers at a reception
In j. p. Morgan's library.
Actual negotiations will not be
started for several days, ii is under
stood The commissioners In the
meantime will meet other financiers
and acquaint themselves with condi
tions.
The principal obstacle that must be
overcome by the commission is col
lateral 1t is almost certain that the
credit loan, If fioated, must be done
through the national banks and they
will likely demand American securi-
ties as collateral, but which Euro
pean holders are hanging on to now
as the safest In the world.

NO ATTEMPT TO RAM BOAT
German Plea Secuted by Owners OF
the Arabic.

Liverpool. Sept. 13.-The White Star
line made the following statement
with regard to the German govern
ment's explanation of the torpedoing
of the Arabic:
"The German excuse contained in
the note just published is just as
audacious as the previous one and is
absolutely unsupported by facts. A
great point is made of a supposed at
tempt on the part of the Arabic to
ram the submarine, but every one
knows that courses must frequently
be changed in the channel, and any
change of such kind could not pos
sibly have been taken by the Ger
mans to mean an attempt to ram.
There Is not the slightest question
that the Arabic did not try to ram,
for the simple reason that the sub
marine was not seen by Captain
Finch. Moreover the Arabic did not
try to escape. the only preparation
taken being to put the helm hard over
directly the torpedo was seen"

South Galician Front.
VICTORY NOT IMPORTANT
Petrograd Newspapers Admit This
Section of Fighting Area Is Of No

sand Austro-Germans Reported.

London, Sept. 13-Another success
on the South Galician front. result
ing In the capture of 5000 men, is
announced by the Russians.
Even the Petrograd newspapers,
however, admit that this section OF
the fighting area is not of the most
vital importance, since Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is still lowering along
the line of minor forts which form
the last remaining defenses in the
way of complete control of the rail-
road system desired by the invaders.
The Russians declare that the in
itiative in the isolated engagements
on the southern wing is gradually
passing into their hands. Nearer the
center of the line Won Mackensen is
still pushing his way vigorously
through the Pripet marshes toward
Pinsk. North and south of his head
quarters, strong offensive movements
have been developed near Grodno and
on the road to Kovno.
On the other fronts there Is not as
much action as i'm the East, so far as
the off cial reports indicate. Sharp
fighting is In progress along the Aus
tro-Italian battle line.
The only new feature of the near
Eastern diplomatic puzzle is the as
sertion from Bulgarian sources that
Sofia feels her past neutrality is suf-
ficient reward for Turkish conces-
sions

BERMsTORFF DENIES STORY

New York, Sept. 13.-The Evening
Sun printed an extensive interview
with German Ambassador Bernst0rff,
in which he declared a diplomatic
break between Germany and the Unit

A reporter called upon the ambas-
sador, who denied giving the inter
view or making remarks credited to
him. He denied talking to anyone
along the lines mentioned.
