Will Clear Up All Matters involved in
the Marine Controversy.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Ambassador
Gerard's dispatch to the state depart
ment agrees with Count Bernstorf's
advices that submarine commanders
have been instructed to attack no
more peaceful merchant ships without
warning.
NThe American government never
theless, will press for clearing up Of
tie entire submarine controversy be-
fore it will consider the Arabic and
Lusitania incidents closed. Unofficial
word has been conveyed to admins
tration officials that Count Won Bern
storf believes the position of the Ger
man government will be determined
by the imperial chancellor and the
foreign minister.
President Wilson did not hold the
usual Friday cabinet meeting because
the negotiations with Germany still
were too incomplete. He plans to re-
main in Washington, however, until
the controversy is finally cleared up.
In his talks with Ambassador Won
Bernstorff, Secretary Lansing has TAX
en- nothing for granted and has asked
for clear explanations of all state
ments regarding the intentions of the
German government.

off Ostend. The German report says
that four of the French machines in
the attack near Saarloius were
brought down, one, however, falling
behind the French lines.
The admiralty report of German
submarines sinking significantly stat
ed that it has not been tie practice OF
the admiralty to publish accounts re-
garding tie loss of German subma-
rines, important though they have
been,' in cases where the Germans had
no otter sources of information as to
the time and place at which these
losses occurred.
Only Official Notice.
It has been reported for months
that a large number of German sub
marines, variously stated at from 20
to 40, have been caught by the British
navy, but today's statement is the only
official admission that there were 9TH
ers than those previously reported by
the admiralty as having been de-
stroyed.
The Italians claim additional sue
cesses on all their fronts, but these
are denied by Austria. Of the opera
tons on the GallipoIi peninsula there
is no further news.
Wounded men arriving at Alexan-
dria tell of how nearly tie allies came
to gaining a great success in one at
tack. An Australian declared that
if the allied forces had had two more
hours of darkness they could have
covered 600 yards Of ground which
separated them from the Sari Bahr
hill, generally known as hill No. 971.
Once on this hill, the officer declared,
the Turkish communications would
have been cut and it was for this hill
that the allies fought so desperately
but fruitlessly.

During the day of August "a a
French aviator threw down bombs on
the railroad station of Offepbourg, in
Baden, II miles from Karlsruhe. At
It's point there is an important rail
road junction in the grand duchy.
"On August % an aerial squadron
composed Of four groups and includ-
ing a total of g. aviators, flew over
the heights of Dellingen. Here there
is factory where shells and armor
plate are made The location of this
plant is to the north Of Saarlouis in
Fl. enish Prussia, 80 miles southwest
of Treyes. The aviators threw down
with precision over $50 bombs, 80 Of
which were of large calibre.'
So far as official reports have dis
closed there never has been previously
an air raid Of such magnitude. In a
few earlier ventures 80 or more aero
planes were used.
Previous dispatches have indicated
tat the belligerents have built great
numbers of aeroplanes and these ma
chimes are now sent forth in fotillas
for organized assaults on large scale.
Yesterdays raid was the third in
this part of Germany during the last
three weeks. On August Saarbruec-
ken was bombarded and three days
later the neighborirg towns of Saint
Ingebert and Zweibruecken were at
tackled. Eight persons were killed in
tie latter raid.
Tonight's official communication
reads:
''In the sector to the north of Ar

reported, especially around Souchez
and to the south of Neuville, near the
road to Lille.

proving of use at times.
"In Alsace, in tie Doler valley, some
artillery action have taken place.
"On the 25th our aviators bombarded
the German encampments at Pennies

FULL SATISFACTION FOR
L. S. IN ARABIC MATTER
1t Appears That the United States Has
Won Victory By Being
Patient.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
acting on instructions from Berlin,
notified Secretary Lansing today that
full satisfaction" would be given to
tie United States for the sinking Of
the White Star liner Arabic. The
ambassador explained that Germany
would make more than mere dis
avoWaI if it is found the Arabic was
sunk without warning.
Future relations between the
United States and Germany were re-
garded much more hopefully here to-
day tan for many weeks past. Ad-
ministration officials believed the in
dications from Berlin that the i'm
perial government was striving hard
to adjust difficulties between the two
countries growing out of Germany's
submarine warfare presaged a better
understanding and an ultimate peace
iul settlement.
Count Won Bernstorff conferred with
Secretary Lansing at the state depart
ment nearl yhalf an hour. 1t had been
suggested that perhaps Germany was
ready also to make reparation for the
Americans lost on the Lusitania also
but that subject did not come up at
today's conference. The disposition Of
the German embassy is to take up one
step at a time.
The ambassador did not make pub
tic the extent of the instructions from
Berlin or which Ge acted, but it was
understood they conceded entirely
with the statement of the German
chancellor in Associated Press dis
patches from Berlin yesterday ex-
pressing the willingness of the Ger
man government to make fullest rep
aration if it be s.own finally that the
Arabic was torpedoed without warn
ing. So far the German admiralty has
received no report from it's submarine
operating in the Arabic's vicinity.
Further communications are ex-
pected from Berlin to the German am
bassador and to the state department
from Ambassador Gerard, which will
advance the negotiations to a point
wi.ere attacks on passenger-carrying
ships will be definitely discontinued, at
least while the subject is under dis
cussion.
The crisis between the two countries
is regarded as having entered into the
realm of diplomacy.
will Make Reparation.
The German ambassador frankly
stated after his interview with Mr..
Lansing that his instructions embodied
tie declaration by the Berlin govern
ment that it would give full satisfac-
ton to the American government.
That, he declared, meant much more
than a disavowal The giving of sat
isfaction would depend upon the cir
cumstances of the attack on the
Arabic, he said The German govern
ment did not know, Le said, whether
the Arabic was sunk by German sub
marine without warning, but if inVes-
tigation proves that to have been the
case, German government would make
full reparation.
The ambassador said he believed the
negotiations over the Arabic would be
followed by negotiations over the Lu-
sitania, in view of the official state
ment in Berlin that a submarine policy
satisfactory to TIE United States would
