GERMANS DENY LOSS
OF FIFTY SUBMARINES

Berlin, Aug. % (via London, Aug.
2O.-German naval officers say that
the statement In an American pub
llcation that Germany has lost fifty
submarines is ridiculous, as Is also
the statement credited to British
sources, placing the number at
thirty-eight.
The naval men do not deny that
the British have had successes
against the submarines but say that
they have been nothing like such
figures.

Submarine Which Sank
Arabic Nav Be Lost

London. Aug. 28.-"The Daily News"
il an editorial to-day hazards the sug-
gestion that the submarine that sank
the Arabic has itself since been sunk
and that therefore Germany's dis
avowal Of the action of the underwater
boat commander becomes comparatively
easy. The editorial continues:
If il is true that Germany is pre-
pared 10 abandon or suspend her at
tacks the United States has won con
siderable diplomatic victory. There is
not the slightest reason to suppose
that DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
German Imperial Chancellor, sane
toned the attack upon the Arabic or
desired to acerbate the relations with
America. The sinking Of the Arabic
may be assumed with some degree of
certainty to have been the malignant
trick Of his opponents the Tirpitzites,
designed quite as much TO embarrass
him as to drive America TO action"
The paper says that the Submission
Of official Germany to the United
States demands is a fact of historic
importance, involving at least recogni
tion Of the force of public opinion, and
in so far justities President Wilson's
patient diplomacy The editorial
adds:
"lf this really has been accomplished
the President has struck shrewd
blow for peace in other continents tan
America. II the United States can i'm
pose conditions and limitations on C-r-
many's war methods other nations can
do the same, and Germany's claim to be
her own judge IN such matters is once

"The Standard" in an editorial ex-
presses the opinion that there are sew
eral good reasons for suppOsing that
Count Won BernstOrf is not blufling,
but that il is not probable Germany
will abandon her submarine savagery"
altogether.
"There would be fierce complaints
ov4r the REIMBURSEMENT of so potent
a weapon at American dictation," says
"The Standard" For their own salts
faction the Germans will adopt pose
of making important but not vital con-
cessions out Of pure friendship for the
United States, and il is not likely at
President Wilson on his part will stand
for the strict letter of his demand.
The primary reason for the concession
is doubtless the conviction that Mr.

says:
Germany is a universal distributor
Of excuses. She handed them to Den
mark and Holland, and would like to
hand them to the United States. The
point is. will the American government
be satisfied with such base coin? For
German excuses imply neither re-
pentance nor intention not TO relapse.
