Washington, Oct. 5.-Germany has
failed to satisfy the request of the
United States that the sinking of the
Arabic with a loss of American lives
be disavowed and liability for the act
assumed by the imperial government.
This became known after a conference
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing at which the latter SUBJ

ambassador.

New York, Oct. 4.-Count Won Bern

delivered to Secretary Lansing a note
from the German government concern
stood, affords a negotiable basis for
the settlement of the question.
The ambassador was closeted with
Secretary Lansing for only a few min
utes, leaving with him a note, the IN
tents of which was not disclosed. Both
the secretary and the ambassador de-
cided that nothing concerning it would
be announced. 1t is understood that
the secretary will take the note with
him to Washington and after discuss
ing it with President Wilson will indi-
cate whether or not it is satisfactory
Basis for Negotiations.
1t was learned reliably that the note
furnishes a basis for further negotia-
tons and from this it was inferred
that, while admitting the principle that
merchantmen would not be torpedoed
without warning, Germany was anx-
ious to submit to arbitration the ques-
ton of fact as to whether or not the
Arabic was engaged in a hostile act
at the time she was t%orpedoed and
how much indemnity must be paid as a
consequence if the verdict is against
the German commander.

prove co~nclusively that the Arabic was

The case Of Captain Won Papen, mil
itary attache of the German embassy,
was disposed Of.
Secretary Lansing took the first step
in the policy that the United States
government is to pursue within the
next week in deciding what faction
in Mexico Is deserving of recognition.
He received Luis Cabrera, minister OF
finance for the Carranza government,
