1t was tacitly admitted that the ad.

in Berlin. II so, it was recognized
that 1t might be hard, perhaps impos'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.- Conf

The Arabic matter will be settled

DDS that satisfactory disposition OF
the latter was deemed almost natur-

One important point made by men

the conduct of future diplomatic ex-
changes between Washington and

rather than IN the strained tone
which, despite the observance of su-

characterized previous communities
tions over the submarine question.
The outstanding feature Of the inter-
national situation today was this:
Germany does not want the United
States drawn into the war.
Oficialdom was satisfied on the
point.
