Dumba s tenure of office. There were
signs, too, today that the German em-
bassy might become involved in the
manifest displeasure of the administra-
tion against the known efforts of the
Austrian envoy to halt munition manu-.
facture in America.
1t was understood that the state de-
partment sought to determine the scope
of an alleged German plan similar to
the Austrian This plan, revealed in
New York dispatches, included issuance
of newspaper advertisement warnings
to German subjects against continuing
work on allied war contract work, under
penalty of serious trouble from theii
home government.
The plan, it is claimed, had the ap
proval of the German ambassador. Al
employment agency for Germans whC
quit, was established in New York, anC
there centered the activities of the Ger
man movement to check the war work.
Germany sometime ago issued warn
ing against subjects making munition
for the allies and the employment bur
eau apparently was established sooi
after.
No governmental eognizance, how
ever, was taken of the matter as far a
| is known.
1t was believed that President Wilso
and Secretary Lansing have not yet de

Omitted Press Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 9-Germany s note
on the torpedoing OF the liner Arabic
is expected today by the state depart
ment.
The administration already has toll
erably clear idea of its contents. Dis
patches from Staff Correspondent Carl
w. Ackerman Of the United Press gave
this when they indicated that Germany,
basing its contention on the German
submarine commanders report, will
plead that the torpedoing resulted from
the commanders s belief that the Ara
bic's maneuvering indicated an intent
to ram the submarine.
High officials said the administration
will accept Germany's plea of "military
necessity for destroying the Arabic,
provided Germany re-asserts her inten-
ton to warn vessels, in the future, be-
fore sending them to the bottom.
Submission to The Hague tribunal Of
the question of reparation for loss Of
American lives is likewise approved by
authorities.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff is ex-
pected to CONFER with secretary Lansing
about the note before the end of the
week.
Meantime, the Hesperian case is as
suming increased Importance Like the
Arabic ease it must be disposed of be
fore the original Lusitania negotiations
can be closed. The state department
continued to maintain today that it il
still improved that the Hesperian wa
torpedo victim. Indications pointed
to belief that some further light OF
the case will come through the Britisl
government in the form of note civ
ing details of the incident, from tn
English standpoint.
The reported death of Seaman Wolf
ia the Hesperian explosion is still uncon
firmed, as far as state department ad
vices 60.
The Dumba incident is held in abey
ance, and the ambassador has returne
TO his Lenox, Mass, summer quarters

to cripple American munitions plant
