Second Note Rumored.

Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided were dis
placed by misgivings. Talk Of the pos
slbility Of breaking diplomatic rela-
tions was heard again, although this
time il involved both the central pow
ers, on the theory that Austria, after
having her Ambassador practically dis.
missed from the country, might stand
with her ally in relations with the
United States.

Unofficial reports that second note
ad been started from the Berlin For
ign Office for Washington furnished
about the only basis Of optimism in
official quarters, so far as the sub.
marine controversy was concerned.
There was no official intimation that
another communication was on the
way, but the American reply to the
ho.e on the Arabic probably will be
delayed until officials can learn
whether TO expect anything additional
from Berlin.
Sharp Reply Expected.
1t may be stated, however, that II
nothing comes in the nature of modi.
fication of Germany's explanation an
American note will reach Berlin which
will set forth the views Of the United
States in a brief and unmistakable
manner.
Germany's declaration that, while
she regrets the loss Of Americans, she
recognizes no liability for indemnity,
even II the submarine commander was
mistaken in believing the Arabic was
about to attack him, and practically
offering to arbitrate the principle, is
regarded in official circles as leaving
the whole submarine question pracu'
cally where It was left by the Berlin
Governments unresponsive attitude
toward the Lusitania negotiations and
in remarkable contrayention OF the
favorable view which State Depart

Submarine Feared Attack.

sale, and was on the point of sinking
the prize by gun fire after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw a large steamer
making directly toward him. This
steamer, as developed later, was the
Arabic. She was recognized as an
enemy vessel, as she did not fly any
flag and bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered
her original course. but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became con-
vinced that the steamer had the inten.
tion of attacking and ramming him.
an order TO anticipate this attack
he gave orders for the submarine to
dive and fired a torpedo at the steam
er. After firing he convinced himself
that the people on board were being
rescued in Is boats.
According to his instructions the
commander was not allowed to at.
tack the Arabic without warning and
without saving the lives unless the
ship attempted to escape or offered
resistance. He was forced. however.
to conclude from the attendant cir.
cumstances that the Arabic planned
violent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more OBJ.
vious as he had been fired upon al a
great distance in the Irish Sea on
August 14-that is, few days before
by a large passenger steamer. ap.
parently belonging to the British
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
which he had neither attacked nor
stopped.
Regrets, But No Indemnity.
"The German government most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the commander
II particularly expresses this regret
to the government OF the United
States on account OF the death of
American citizens.
"The German government is un-
able, however, to acknowledge any
obligation to grant indemnity in the
matter, even If the commander should
have been mistaken as to the aggres.
sive intentions of the Arabic.
IF it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach
4 harmonious opinion on this point,
the German government would be pre-
pared to submit the difference of opin.
ion, as being question of interna-
tional law, to The Hague tribunal for
arbitration. pursuant to article 3S of
The Hague convention for the pacific
settlement Of international disputes.
"In so doing II assumes that as a

If you were asked to place this

may say, discouragiug incident,
to find the entrance to a Public

pecially noticeable when it is
found in a city that has the
