 The ambassador called upon the secretary at his room in the Biltmore, exchanged greetings and handed Mr. Lansing a package of papers. Neither man would discuss tho nature of the papers nor the reason for the meeting.
 "'rhere is nothing 1 can say" de- clarod Mr. Lansing, "because matters are not, by this meeting. concluded. I shall return to Washington tonight. It is likely that the ambassador and 1 shall confer there. Thus far the matter is quite confidential and I am compelled to decline to discuss it In Washington 1 shall confer at once with the president. Something may be made public in Washington next week. :!
 On the most reliable authority it may be said that at least one portion of the papers handed to the secretary contained the German government arguments on the Arabic case.
