GERMANY'S PROMISES
Continued from Page one)

Britain under misapprehension that
she was armed. and that killing Of
Americans was regretted and not in
tended. and offering reparation, prob
ably would pave the way for amicably
closing the incident.
About the only shadow over the opti-
mism in official circles today was cast by
the ''if' in the promise conveyed by Am
bassador Won BernstorfI. Some officials
thought disposition by Germany to
question the evidence that the Arabic, a
peaceful passenger vessel, unarmed and
fnoffensive. was attacked without warn
ing, might lead to interminable and un-
satisfactory negotiations. 1t was even
suggested that there was a possibility
that the submarine which fired the tor
pedo might later have fallen a victim to
British warships and never would be able
to report In German quarters, however,
confidence was felt that the submarine 8
report would soon reach Berlin.
German officials have made it plain
that their government as soon as it has
relieved the strain upon its relations with
the United States by limiting submarine
govern
ment to demand that Great Britain and
allies cease interfering with legitimate
neutral commerce and thus permit the
importation of foodstuffs for the German
civil population. The American note to
England on this subject has been In
preparation for some time aud probably
will be dispatched as soon as the nego.
tiations with Germany are on the way
toward satisfactory adjustment. The
communication practically YVES completed
when the Allies action in declaring cot.
ton contraband made re-drafting neces.
sary.
In this connection it has been learned
that Germany Is preparing to protest
against acquiescence by the United States
in the treatment Of cotton as contraband

BRITISH PROTEST
AGAINST AMERICAN
GERMAN UNDERSTANDING

London. Aug. q. 11,29 A Mt is
suggested that the American govern
ment will be satisfied if commanders of
German submarines always warn pas
senger vessels and place their passen-
gers in boats before sinking the yes
sells" says the Spectator. I'VE do not
believe for moment that America
would consent to this caricature of
satisfying international law and HUI
name customs.
Imagine placing women and children
in small boats, 60 miles from land. in
a high winter sea and piercing cold.
and saying that their safety was pro-
vided for. Now we are sure that if
Germany means to prevent America
from taking action of some kind she
will have to change her policy drastic
ally"
