Washington Is Anxious
Over Outlook for Peace

washington, Oct. 5.-Tf you can get
down to the inner consciousness Of a
public official these days you must be
forced to see very serious misgivings
over the relationship between the Unit
ed States and Germany.
The last note from Germany is far
from satisfactory and about the most
satisfaction one can get is that there
does not appear 10 be danger of an
immediate rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between the two countries.
Germany is apparently in position
of embarrassment. On the one hand,
America demands disavowal of the de-
struetion of the Arabic and admission
of liability for the act.
The German navy however, is de-
termined that this concession shall not
be made.
Germany insists on arbitration ana
President Wilson stands pat on the
proposition that America cannot arbi- r.
trate where the slaughter of it's ciu-
zens is involved.
That America will insist on its po-

sition Is certain. That Germany will
eventually make the concession is a
matter of grave doubt Definite refu-
sal will ncccssitate a rupture, and that
rupture may imply war.
There were many persons who be
Ieved at one time that Germany want
ed war. that it might strike at Amer
lean shipping bound for England with
supplies. Since the collapse of the
German submarine farce there seems
no excuse for that country to wish to
force America into the war, unless it
should be felt that the entrance of
this country would provide a good eX-
cuse for giving up and at the same
time admit into the list of enemies
nation noted for its leniency toward
its defeated opponents, in the hopes
that America would bring about bet
ter terms for Germany
1t is not probable that Germany is
ready for such an act yet but the
Teuton cause has lost so much of late
that even few weeks may bring n
remarkable change in the situation.
