WASHINGTON, May 25.-The FIRST con-
structive result of tho Pan-Amercan
financial conference came to-day in the
proposal by the Argentine delegation
that a commercial arbitration code be
arranged between tho Chambers of
Commerce and large commercial organ-
zations in their country and similar
bodies In the United States for the ad-
Judication OF individual business dis
putes.
This suggestion was made at the

Argentina and several American busi-
ness men and officials assigned to confer
with them. among the latter being Vice
Governor Delano OF the Federal Reserve

OF the Argentine delegates with en-
thusiasm. flans for putting 1t into
definite form were discussed and IL was
said to be practically certain that a
report would he made to the full confer

discussions.
II is hoped that the formulation OF a
definite plan will have wholesome
effect on other delegations at the con-
ference and that possibly similar agree
ments may be arranged with the busI-
ness representatives OF other countries
The proposed plan provides for the
establishment of "A court OF business men
selected by the commerce bodies OF the
two countries to settle disputes between
American and Argentine individuals and
corporations relating to business trans
actions. The decisions OF this court
would be supported only by the moral
force of the org tnzations which entered
into the agreement.
Business men who support this plan
say that IL Contemplates nothing more
than the application of the principles OF

Bitter fighting in the region north

ports from Paris and Berlin.
A big French aerial squadron bonn

the road to Arras. The report states
that the Germans have advanced 500
yards across the Snuchez cemetery
and have captured the Cabaret ROug
(Red Inn on the highway between
Souchez and Arras.
The battle of Souchez has now been
in progress for two days. That t.e
French are striving desperately to re
gain their lost ground is apparent
from the fact that they made an at
tack with grenades on the sugar re
tinery. This attack was repulsed, the
Germans say.
A renewal Of the savage fighting in
the western theater has turned the
public eye from Poland to Galicia,
and London is anxiously awaiting
most important news from France.

widespread belief that one side or the

their close interrelation, as presaging

Simultaneously with reports from

"The United States is now confront
ed with a situation of a grave, criti
cal and most serious character, suc1
as it has not had to face for many
years"
This statement was made by high
official Of the state department in dis
cussing the Germany reply to Presi
dent Wilson's second note on the
sinking of the Lusitania. Throughout
official circles tine same view prevails
and the feeling is one of anxiety and
tenseness.
Should another passenger vessel be
torpedoed and more American lives
be lost, it is believed that an imme
date rupture between the United
States and Germany can hardly be
prevented. President Wilson might
exert every effort to maintain peace
fame of indignation would spread
through the nation that would leave
him no alternative.
1t is said UnOficially that Germany
has warned its submarine command
ers to sink no more passenger ships
but this information has not beer
communicated to this government. OF
hcials hope this is true.
Secretary Lansing said there were
no new developments in the situation
He did not know whether he would GO
to Cornish or wait the pre-ilent's re
turn. State department officials con
tinue to prepare memoranda, which
are assembled each day and forward |
ed to the president.
Because of the serious situation that
the German reply has brought about
1t is said that President Wilson will
consider carefully what it is expect
ed will be the final warning to the
German government.
High officials say that to meet the
situation firmly the utmost deliberaticn
Is required. This information was
given out so that a delay of week
or more might not misinterpreted
as meaning that the United States in
tends to recede from its position.
Speculation as to the probable re.

ment. 1t will be so phrased, officials
Deiieye, that no loophole will be left
through which Germany may wander
INTO a discussion of such irrelevants
as have characterized her replies in
the past.
The United States will insist, it is
predicted, that Germany make direct

eral demands of the United States.
and that it be understood no other
