TespOndence. At this writing we are
quite a distance from the war. The
only periscopes we have seen thus
far had buoys hung on the other
end of them; the only floating mines
we have sighted had been histed over
board by the galley cook of some
other ship, and looked more like kegs
and crates than mines The only hos
tile thing we encountered was a
shark, and he was 80 yards from the
ship But he was a mad shark and
had his back up; his sharp Tin was
shcing the water at a great rate as
he hustled home TO start a rumpus

ARBITRATION UNLIKELY

--Pres't Wilson's note is being careful
ly studied by the German government
no is regarded as a friendly message
and Will be. answered in friendly
spirit.
The general impression, however, is
that Germany will refuse 10 abandon
her submarine warfare unless Great
Britain abandons the policy which
aims at starving Germany's civilian
population. This may open the way
10 further negotiations with the Unit
cd States as intermediary between
Germany and England.
10 is expected that the reply TO the
American note viii be sent Wednes-
day or Thursday of this week. A pre-
liminary draft probably will be sub
mitted to a council on Thursday.

EXPECT ARBITRATION OFFER.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Ofhcial
Washington today believes the Ger
man government Will offer to submit
the questions at issue between the
countries To arbitration, but the inn
preston is growing stronger that such
a proposal viii not meet the approval
OF Pres't Wilson and his advisers.
The belief is general among officials
and diplomats that Germany Will not
agree 10 cease her submarine warfare
against On-COmbatants and Will urge
that a country too proud TO fight
should find "a way 10 prevent the fur
uishlng of arms and ammunition TO
her enemies by means of passenger
ships The practice, Germany is ex-
pected 10 declare. is immoral and
should toe stopped al once.
The belief that a suggestion of arbi-
tration viii be opposed 10y this govern
ment is based on the attitude taken
10y Pres't Wilson in the discussion of
the sinking by the German raider
Prinz Eitel Frederick of the American
sailing ship William +. Frye.
Then, il was stated, this question
was not one of prize court.
1t rs pointed out that if the Amer
lean government could not consider
arbitration in prize court in the Frye
case it could not adopt this method of
settlement in the Lusitania case in
which the submarine, whose methods
of attack tile president has SO vigor-
ously denounced, caused the destruc-
tiOn.
To Divert Attention.
According To the view OF many Off
Cials, the suggestion of arbitration
had put forward with a view OF
diverting the attention of the United
states while Germany is developing
the chief features OF her reply.
AcCordnsly. officials here looked
with much interest for word from
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin as to
the probable attitude OF the German
government

department today that the presidents
note had been formally delivered 10

GERMANS WAITING.
To Act when Greece Extends
Privileged Territory to Allies.

Privileged Territory to Allies.
PARis, Dec. II. Herman critics Of the
attitude Of Greece toward the Allies ex-
petition using Greek territory for the
transport of men and munitions Of war;
fare have apparently lost sight OF the
fact that the use OF the port OF Salonica
and the railway running from that city
TO the Serbian frontier Is In entire ac-
cord with International law.
Before the beginning Of the European
conflict the Governments OF 'elgrade
and Athens signed a convention In May.
1914, by which Greece accorded to Serbia
for a term Of fifty Years the use for
military purposes OF n territory coInpr's-
inG n railhead in tho port Of Salonica and
the railway line from Salonica to Bel
grade. II was on account OF this con-
vention that the German Government
was unable to find any grounds to pro-
test to Greece against the employment
Of this line for the transport OF muni.
toni TO Serbia ever since the war began.
1t 10 evident that this matter does not
enter into the negotiations between
Greece and the Allies at present. The
debatable point doubtless arises from
the desire Of the Allies to extend this
privileged" territory around Salonica.
II Is believed here that when Greece has
formally consented to such an increase
Of Hellenic territory at the disposal Of
the Allies. Germany will seise the op-
portunity to declare hat Greece has
consented to the violation OF her neu-
trality In favor OF the ALLIES and that
International law no longer precludes
the Germans from invading that terri
tory.

the question OF emigration. which is. of

upshot Of the present peculiar and un-
