Officials Are Seriously Con sidel.ing Proposition to
 Take Dispute in Cues tions of Fact in Arabic
 Case to Tribunal. .
POINTS TO CONSIDER
 CESSARILY FEW
One Set of Officials Believe Would Open Way for Ar bitlation of Principles United States Has Been Contending For.
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The issue with Germany turned to a less acute stage the last twenty-four hours through consideration of the proposal to take the dispute in questions of fact i'm the Arabic case to The Hague
 one. set of officials believes to do so would amount to arbitrating the prin- ciples for which the United states has been contending. and would open the way to practically unlimited subma- rine operations with disputed questions of fact and arbitration in each case. Another set of officials believes with out taking in the principles involved, The Hague might properly be allowed to decide, not whether the submarine commander thought he was justified in sinking the Arabic because he believed she was about to ram him. but wheth- CT the liner was actually attempting to resist or escape and if so whether that justified the commanders act in inter- national law
 But both sets of views are being urged on the president who will decide what is to be done. Secretary Lansing refused to indicate his views. In the case of Dumba. Von Papen and Nuber there was no change.
 The course to be pursued may not be determined for day or two. Gen erally the indications in official quar- ters are more favorable. Despite the fact that all officials considered the German explanation unsatisfactory and disappointing there appeared to be more of a prospect of finding some ground on which the two countries faI IIx- reported to have been delivered to Am bassador Gerard by the Berlin foreign office last night failed to arrive Sec retary Lansing said he had no official knowledge or intimation that another communication was coming or what it contained.
 At other sources it was reported the note is Germanys explanation of the unsuccessful attempt to destroy the Cunard liner Orduna on July when submarine sent a torpedo within ten yards of the ships stern and then un- successfully shelled her until she was out of range. The Orduna was on her way to the United States and had twenty-two Americans aboard when attacked. In the Orduna case there is conflict Of statements as to whether the ship had warning or tried to escape. It is not an issue between the United States and Germany and is not likely to become one
 The German note is in response to inquiries made by Ambassador Gerard at the direction of the state depart ment It is not regarded as having any bearing on the present situation unless it contains some declaration of prin- ciple new to the cOntroVersv The view of the closest observers here is in the Arabic case the danger of a break grows less as the hours pass without action.

Western Front Now At tracts Quite as Much At tentiOn as Battlefields of East as Approach of Win ter Changes Conditions.
QUESTION OF
 WINTER QUARTERS
Mastery of Railway Lines Will Make Victors More Secure When Time Comes to Go Into Quarters for the Winter Season.
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The western front with continuous artillery en- agreements occasional infantry at tacks and the probability of import ant events now impending or soon to begin, attracts almost as much at tention as the eastern battlefields where Russians and Teutons are con- tending for the mastery of railway lines, the possession of which will make the victors more secure when the time comes to go into winter quarters.
 For some time yet, however, the east is likely to be the scene Of the more sensational activities The Russians are putting forth strong offensive on either wing, and mak- ing an equally stubborn defensive in the center, where the Teutons al though gaining ground daily and coming closer to the Wilma Rovno railway, are meeting with increasing opposition.
 Each village, stream and road is proving the scene of sanguinary engagement. For example Skidel, a town immediately east of Grodno. which was at last occupied by the Germans, was the center of a battle lasting several days with alternating success. The Germans attacked the town again and again massing ar tillery for that purpose and accord ing to, a Berlin statement. did not succeed in overcoming the Russians until last night.
 Throughout the great marsh dis trict from this point southeastward to Rovno similar contests are talk ing place. The Austro- Germans are trying by every means in their pow CT to force their way through to the Wilma -RovnO railway before the hea- " rains set in. and put an end to the fighting for the time being In the narrow strip of Galicia between the Sereth river and the Bessarabian fl fIontier. the Russians have been strongly reinforced and apparently are well supplied with guns and am- munition. They report a third vic tory here over the Teutonic forces the success bringing the total num- her of prisoners captured during the week to 22.0O0 without mentioning the loss of men and guns. The Aus trians admit they suffered d setback in this region in a statement that they withdrew their front on the Sereth to the heights east of the Stripa river before superior enemy forces.' On the northern end of the line southeast of Riga, the Russians are also on the aggressive with the result that the Germans have made no further progress against the Dvina river line.
 Some of the British military writ CTS believe the Austro Germans have reached the limit of their penetration of Russia so far as this year Is con- cerned and that they must now look to the defense of their present lines It is reported. in fact. they are all ready constructing Notifications at

Announcement was made yesterday morning by General Secretary Harry M. Blair that the Young Mems Christian Association would within ninety days have doubled its dormi- tory capacity by the addition of a third story to the handsome s100, 900 building it now occupies. Negotia- tons for loan of $10,000 with which to pursue this enlarging work here completed while Mr Blair was in Los Angeles. and the directors of the institution gave the necessary sane tion to the addition at meeting Friday.
 With capacity of 3S roomers, the dormitory had earned ten per cent over it's normal for the past year, the total income being in the neigh pacity will enable the association to grant the numerous applications that have been refused during the past year At no time has the dorm been without at least one occupant to a room. Applications to the number of two or three a day have been turned down lately.
 The directors have long realized that to increase the capacity of the Y's earnings would be to benefit the association no other move just now would benefit it.
 With an income of something over ten thousand a year from it's rooms, the association will be on a self supporting basis, as far as it's up- keep is concerned. Without the in terest on the notes, now amounting

that courses must frequently be changed in the channel and any change of such kind could not possibly have been taken by the Germans to mean an attempt to ram.
 There is not the slightest question that the Arabic did not try to ram the submarine for the reason the subma- rine was not seen by Captain Finch. The Arabic did not attempt to escape, the only preparations taken being to put the helm hard over directly the torpedo was seen.

NJ COMMENT IN

Report That Ambassadors Recall Had Been Asked Is Received in Berlin Too Late for Morning News paper Comment.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPATcHl

BERLIN. Sept. 1.-The report that the United States has requested the re- call of Ambassador Dumba was re- ceived too late for general comment in saturday mornings Berlin newspapers, only the Morgenpost and the Nossische Zeitung referring editorially to the re- port. The former says: As long as only a dispatch from British sources is at hand. we reserve judgment. Should America really demand the recall of the ambassador only because he. in the course of doing his duty, warned his cOuntrymen against treason to the fatherland. it will afford new proof of the attitude. which is hardly to be de- scribed as benovelent which America has taken toward Us from the begin ming"
 The Vossische Zeitung says: Tt does not seem to point to the profound good will on the part of the American gov ernment The ambassador only did his duty when he called the attention of subjects of the monarchy who were employed in munitions factories that working for the allies was criminal conduct under the laws Of the father land.
 
 manding the destruction of the Ameri- can munitions factories were occasion ally inserted secretly in German news papers sent to America. Propaganda of this sort is as criminal as it is silly. It cannot he described otherwise than a grave misconduct"
