WILSON PROCLAIMED BY BRITISH NEWSPAPER
AS HAVING ACHIEVED NOTABLE DISTINCTION
ACCEPT GERMAN SINCERITY
Washington Administration Credits Germany With
Good Faith in it's Present Attitude to Explain Sub
marine Warfare and Promise of Satisfaction
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations.
LONDON, Aug. 2S.-President Will
son not only struck a great blow for
peace but won a diplomatic victory
of historic Importance by inducing
Germany to modify its submarine war
fare, the London Daily News declar-
ed editorially today.
British Feel Easier
Both the News and the Standard ac-
cepted the view that Germany is sin
cere in it's latest representations to
the United States and that Germany
not only intends to disavow the sink
ing of the Arabic but to promise that
no more passenger carrying liners are
to be torpedoed.
Accepts in Good Faith
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The ad
ministration credits Germany with
good faith in it's assurances as to
submarine attacks and particularly
with regard to the promise that full
satisfaction will be given in the Ara
bic case, it was stated on the best
authority this afternoon.
Danger of Controversy Over
The statement was made in view of
suggestions that the kaiser is seeking
to start interminable exchanges re-
garding the sinking of the Arabic in
stead of giving satisfaction and meet
ing the demands of the administra
rine warfare. 1t is said confidential
ly that danger of controversy with
Germany is considered practically
over.

Austria's ReparatiOn for ar
barous, AbhOrrent Deed,
Asked by Lansing
M FOR AMERICANS
Reparation and Punishment OF Under
sea Boats Captain Demanded
One Avenue Open for Retreat
Must Disclaim Act

Hungary must
yield to the demands of the United
States for satisfaction on account OF
the sinking of the Italian iner An
coma and the killing Of Americans or
else face the nkeli<5od of a break
of diplomatic relations.
This is the Interpretation put by
Washington on the note which this
Government has SEN to Austria and
which was made public here.
The communication is characterized
by a tone of severity and b~luntness
never before used by the United
States in it's correspondence with the
belligerents in the present war.
A demand is made for the following
satisfactions:
/. D~enunciation of the act.
2. Punishment of the submarine
commander who was responsible.
8. R~eparation by the payment of a
money indemnity.
The note explicitly prescribes the
form of the d~enunciation. Austria
must "denounce" it as IAN Illegal and
i~ndefensible act"
Part That May Hurt
This is the vital paragraph in the
note:
AS the good relations. of the two
countries must est upon a COM
mon regard for law and humanity,
the Government of the United
States cannot be expected to do
otherwise than to demand that
the Imperial and Royal Govern
ment denounce the sinking of the
Ancona as an illegal and indefen-
sibIe act, that the officer who
perpetrated the deed be punish
ed and that reparation by the pay
ment of an indemnity be made for
the citizens of the United States
who were killed or injured by the
attack on the vessel.
Throughout the note has an abrupt
ness of expression which has surpris-
ed official and diplomatic circles de-
spite the fact that for five days it has
been known generally that the COM
m%unication was a severe one.
Not the least significant feature of
it is the employment of the term ode
mands," so rarely used in diplomatic
correspondence.
"Inhuman,' 'barbarous," "abhor-
rent" "wanton slaughter" outrage"
are some of the other expressions that
stand out in the note.
Yet the United States leaves a way
open for Austria for graceful retreat
if the dual monarchy desires to accept
it. This Government points out that
it prefers to believe" that the subma-
rine commands acted contrary to in
structions rather than accept the only
other alternative that the Imperial
and Royal Government failed to issue
instructions to the commanders of it's
submarines in accordance with the
laws OF nations and the principles Of
humanity"
