ignored him. Mark slyly gave him 4

Marks letters to Unity had contin-

and in length: they had never had
much to lose in the way of intensity.
And then he sent a letter that she
failed to answer at all. leaving their
love affair suspended, so to speak, In
the air. One of Simon's rare and mis-
spelled missives informed Mark that

He was still resting on his grassy

stood in the middle Of the road. The
horse, without urging. stopped with its
nose against him. A more skilled OBJ

The GermaR Request
From the New York Tribune.)

The German request for a suspen-
sion of judgment pending the official
report Of the commander of the sub
marine which sank the Arabic will
naturally be granted and will with
less warrant be made the basis for
hope that the peril seen clearly by
all now may be averted
There is only one possibility Of a
final escape from a perilous break
between the United States and the
German empire. This is not to be
found in any facts concerning the
Arabic incident. II the Germans are
able, as seems utterly inconceivable.
to build up some defence for this ac-
ton, the real danger will remain. not
in the incident. but in that settled
policy which is the cause of the Ger
man-kmerican difficulties.
II the German government desired
to abolish all chance of a break with
the United States. il could do 1t by
announcing that henceforth its sub
marine commanders would sink no
passenger ships save in conformity
with the practices Of international law.
II has only TO abandon the methods
revealed in the Lusitania and Arabic
incidents TO put aside all opportunity
for war between the United states
and itself. But unless it consents to
do this the situation will only un-
dergo a temporary amelioration, II
Germany's defence in the Arabic case
Is even technically sufficient TO sat
isfy the American government. Per-
manent improvement there can be no
prospect of while German policy re-
mains fixed
For If the Arabic was not an in
cident." accepting the extreme view
of a few German newspapers. then
there is certain to be a real Incl
dent" without great delay. a man
resolved upon murder may escape in
dictment in a specific case. but If he
sticks to his resolution he will XIII
sooner or later and the crime will
bring inevitable consequences.
Every German comment expressed
in this country since the Arabic sank
follows the same line so clearly in
dicated by Count Reventlow. All
agree in asserting what is wholly
evident. that the facts are still I'M
known 10 Germans. since the version
Of their naval officer remains to be
supplied. But all equally agree thai
ii the Arabic was sunk as America
believes Il was sunk. II was an al
together righteous act and only de-
tail In German naval policy.

Hope Of peace and friendly rela-
tions cannot be based on such prem

This is the content of the German

morrow or next day is sure to bring

mere technical defence. unaccompa-
MED by guarantees for the future, he
cannot accept as satisfactory-he
cannot permit to stay his decision to
break off relations with Germany.
1t is unnecessary and unwise to
foreclose on the German course. It

German statement is yet unmade. Tn

Following his arrival in New York from Germany
Tuesday Koeble said he would not fight against
Germany If the controversy over the sinking Of the
Lusitania and the Arabic should result in war He
added that he did not think other German-A Americans
would
"The majority Of the people Of Germany condemn
the sinking of the Lustania said Koelble "They are
sorry the loss of lives Of non-combatants but they
think Americans ought to have needed the warnings
given them not to sail merchant ships OF beiliger-
ants"
what will German Americans do II war between
Germany and the United States should grow out of the
sinking if the Arabic and Lusania?"
"They will not fight against the Fatherland in an
unjust I will not" was the reply
Koelble is an American citizen and practlcing law
yer He lives, works and prospers beneath the Amer
lean flag. Saturated with German sentiment he re-
turns from the Fatherand gives voice 10 such un-
patriotic and reasonable uterances Had he stopped
at declaring his attitude II would have been bad
enough. When, however. he endeavors to place hum
dreds Of thousands other Americans in line
with his reasonable self. he goes too far.
German-Americans doubt would regret war be-
