SAYS GERMAN NOTE
 NUT SATISFACTORY
DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LiABIL. ITY IN SINKING OF ARABIC,
 WITH THE LOSS OF LIFE.
SAYS SITUATION IMPROVED
Claims There Is No Danger of An Inn mediate Break as the Note Affords An Opportunity For Further
 Negotiations.

hington.-Germany has failed to satisfy the request of the United States that the sinking of the Arabic, with loss of American lives, be dis avowed and liability for the act as- sumed by the imperial government. This became known after confer ence between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, at which the sec retary submitted note given him in Now York by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
 The German ambassador will be ask ed to come to Washington soon to re- ceive the view which the American government takes of the last German note, Count von Bernstorff is author iZed by his government to conduct the submarine negotiations.
 While there is no danger of an inn mediate break, as the note affords an opportunity for further negotiations, it is possible that final refusal by Ger many to meet the American viewpoin: on the Arabic case might cause a break in diplomatic relations.
 The details on which the two gov ernments are in conflict is not definite ly known. In general Germany, after examining the evidence submitted by the United States, came to the conclu- sion that her submarine commander erred in assuming that the Arabic in- tended to ram the German submarine when steering to rescue the passen- gers on the British steamer Dunsley
 This admission of mistake would amount to a disavowal of the act, but the United States has insisted that dis. avowal must be accompanied by an assumption of responsibility and lia- bility and that full reparation must be given for American lives lost.

Governor Hays announced that where circuit clerks have filed their bonds with the Circuit Court and the bonds as clerk and recorder have been approved but not filed with the secre- tary of state, he will not declare their offices vacant. If either bond was not filed with the Circuit Court, however, the office will be considered vacant. The governor announced also that un. less there is some unusual circum- stance connected with the case or some good reason shown to the con- trary he will reappoint the clerks net now eligible afteh they have complied with the law.
 The announcement considerably re- heved many of the 59 clerks who were believed to be illegally holding office through failure to comply with the law. Not more than two or three will be affected under this interpretation of the law. Bonds of most of the clerks had been approved by the Cir cult Court, but they had neglected to file them with the secretary of state.
 Two clerks, w. L. Furlow of Cal houn county and E. c. Goodgame of Dallas county, were reappointed. Neither had made his bond of $2,000 as recorder. Several clerks have filed their bonds with the secretary of state.
