GERMANY AGAIN
FA|LSTO%T|SFYUS
DIscLAIMs RESPONSIBILITY, BUT
ADMITS MISTAKE IN KILLING
NEUTRAL AMERICANS.
ON SINKING OF THE ARABIC
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing Firm for Their Former Stand
Taken-Germany DESTROYS of
Avoiding Break With v. s.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Germany has
failed to satisfy the request Of the Uni
ted States that the sinking of the Ara
bic, with loss of American lives, be
dIsavowed and liability for the act as
sumed by the imperial government.
This became known after confer
ence Sunday between President Will
son and Secretary Lansing at which
the latter submitted a note given him
October 2 in New York by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
No announcement was made after
the White House conference. Secre-
tary Lansing said merely that it was
inadvisable to comment on the situa-
ton while the negotiations were still
confidential. He declined to say what
the next step would be, but it was
learned later the German ambassador
would be asked to come to Washington
soon to receive the view which the
American government takes of the last
German note. Count Won Bernstorff is
fully authorized by his government to
conduct the submarine negotiations.
While the situation has improved to
the extent that there is no danger
of an immediate break in diplomatic
relations, as the note affords an op-
portunity for further negotiations it
was said reliably that final refusal by
Germany to meet the American view
point on the Arabic case might bring
about the threatened rupture in dip
lomatic relations.
Must Admit Liability.
President Wilson has taken the po-
sition that the United States can not
arbitrate questions involving the loss
Of American lives, and it is believed
that in the next step the Washington
government will indicate that the only
matter it can submit to arbitration is
the amount OF the damages to be paid
after the question of liability itself al
ready is admitted
Official information indicates that
Germany is DESTROYS of avoiding a
break and on this officials are basing
their hopes that in subsequent nego-
tiations the Berlin foreign office will
adjust amicably the question of repa-
ration for lives lost
