Berlin, September 12.-(via London. Sep- tember 13 9:45 p. m.)-The Germania de- clares that President Wilson. in asking the Austro-Hungarian government to withdraw Ambassador Dumba sharply im- pugns honorable men of English diplom- acy. The newspaper compares the Dumba case with those of Mansfeldt De ,Cardon- mel Findlay. British minister to Norway. in connection with charges made by Sir Roger Easement, leader of the separatist faction in Ireland, that the minister was conspiring with Sir Rogers man servant for the capture or killing of Easement and of the British minister to Greece, who. it was alleged, attempted to bribe Greek ships to attack German submarines in the Mediterranean, and says Ger manys opponents tried to make capital out of ''the- bad luck of Dr. Dumba. who stumbled over the attempt to prevent his countrymen from making ammunition for their enemies"

BERNSTORFF WILL TRY T0ADJUST THE
 ARABIC MATTER
To See Lansing Today-Ad- ministration Dissatisfied. Nothing Official From Vienna

Washington, September Recount Won Bernstorff. the German ambassador, re- turned to Washington today to initiate informal discussion with the American government supplementary to the note from Berlin foreign office regarding the sinking of the liner Arabic with the hope of paving the way for formal negotia- tions for adjustment of the situation growing out of the loss of American lives in the tragedy. He expects to see Sec retary Lansing tomorrow
 The ambassador is optimistic despite the growing serious concern here caused by the receipt of a disappointing note from Germany on the Arabic and the request for the recall of Ambassador Dumba of Austria. It is held in German circles that the Arabic note, with its reiteration of the announcement that sub marines are under orders not to sink peaceful liners without warning, Is in accord with assurances already given the state department and confidence Is felt that an agreement can be reached for arbitration of the question of repara- tion
 German Explanation Weak
 High officials were silent again today regarding the entire situation. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are con sdering the testimony of Arabic sur vivors that the Arabic was torpedoed without warning. in connection with the German note declaring the submarine Nommand4r launched his torpedo be- cause he thought he was about to be at- tackled. Belief Is expressed in official circles that while the German explana- ton Is considered weak and unsuccess- ful. the United States will consent, to the proposal that the question of indemnity be arbitrated on condition that discus sion be limited to the question of fact as to whether the submarine commander was Justified without involving the gen. eral principle for which this government has contended
 The German memorandum on the Or duna case reached the state department during the day. but was not decoded in time for consideration.
 Nothing has been heard officially from Vienna today regarding Dr. Dumba Press dispatches stating that the ambas- sador would be recalled without making m issue of his right to plan Austro- strikes in American munition plants were accepted as accurave
 So far the administration has taken no step, toward acting against Austro- Hun garian Consul General Won Nuber at New York and Captain Won Papen the Ger man military attache. involved in Dr. Dumba's plans
