Sir Edward Grey's statement Is
a complete refutal of the Ger

that Germany wanted the war
and caused IL by refusing the
proposal OF a conference which
would have settled the Serbian

Washington. Aug 25.--In compIi.

The relief which the imperial gov

day. There is no doubt now that
they regard this communication Of the

White Star liner will be averted. but
also as suggesting the possibility OF

the Commonwealth was placed before

have been concluded and a verdict
returned before another day ends.
Immediately after court convened
this morning Porter was fined $40 by
Judge j. f. West on the charge Of ac-
costing a witness for the Common

to have met one of the Common
wealth's witnesses, a Greek Of the
name of Manesiotis. and to have said:
Hello. what are you. doing here?"
To which the Greek replied:

The jury was called and after all

that Judge West called Porter to the
bar and fined him for talking to

places the responsibility for the Euro

refusal of the British proposal for a
conference on the Serbian question.
The statement says:
The Belgian record of conversation

Optimistic, But Has Nothing Further

New York. Aug 24.--Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador to
this country. spent today at the Ritz
Carlton Hotel. but he had nothing
more to add on the crisis growing GU.
of the sinking Of the steamship.
1t was denied that the ambassador
would go to WASHINGTON at any time
in the near future unless he received
important information from his gov
eminent that required personal trans
mission on his part. or unless the
State Department desired his presence
there.
No additional news regarding the
sinking of the Arabic was received
from Berlin. The ambassador seemed
to be in an optimistic frame of mind,
but he would make no statement. He
spent tonight at the Ritz-Cariton, but
he expects to remain at Cedarhurst
from next Friday until Monday.
