PEACE DEPENDS ON
BERNSTORFF EFFORT
Change in German Position
Needed to Prevent Break
in Relations.

viii Ambassador Won Bernstorff be able
to persuade the German government
that the United States is convinced that
the sinking Of the Arabic was indie
fensible?
Should the ambassador bc equal to
this task, the German situation is ex-
pected to smooth out to a large extent.
II he is not. then the United States will
in all reasonable probability be headed
rapidly. not merely for a break in rela-
tions. but for participation in the Eu-
ropean war against Germany.
President Wilson feels the time has
come when quibbling must stop, and
that the United States cannot afford to
be in the position Of being dallied with.
On the other hand. If Germany will
meet the United states half way and
convince the President of her good faith
there will be much improved relations.
Note Writing Over.
The most cheering fact in the situa-
ton Is the optimism of close friends
OF the ambassador in Washington. They
are convinced that he is going to
srtaighten out the tangle. 1t is known
that the ambassador. IL he Is rot acting,
is convinced that there Is going to be .
satisfactory solution.
1t appears that the era OF note writ
ing Is about at an end. and there n o
resort to the more direct, more prompt,
and more satisfactory method OF con-
sations.
The definite announcement was made
today by Secretary of State Lansing
that he would leave Washington for
New York Friday afternoon. would at
tend the conference on Mexico Satrr-
day, and then would go to Henderson
harbor. on the east shore of Lake On
tario, for a vacation.
Secretary Lansing expects to be out
Of Washington until week from next
Monday. This Is regarded as a clear
indication that this Government for
the next ten DAYS or two weeks cx-
poets to mark time on the Arabic case.
The Secretary will leave Counselor
Frank L. Polk in charge as acting Sec
retary of State.
Predictions whether there will he a
break of relations are of little value
foreign office is disposed 10 give wels 1T
to the American evidence in the Arabic
case and to the advice of Ambassador
Won Bernstorf that 1t would be VOL. for
taken in her reply.
The German foreign office has a sum-
mary Of the evidence. Secretary Of
State Lansing announced last night that
beer cabled to Berlin.
This Government did the cabling be-
cause of the difficulties Count Won
Bernstorff has in communication with
his government.
Await Berlin Reply.
1t Is officially stated that this Gov
ernmelt is awaiting the results of a
study Of the evidence by the German
government. The State Department
sent its summary to Ambassador Ger
ard. who presented it to Herr Won
JaXow.
This Government position is now
we'll known. 1t is simply that the
United States Is convinced from the
evidence in it's hands that the act OF
the submarine commander in striking
the Arabic was not justifable that dis
avowal should follow. and that then
there may be arbitration OF the amount
o. indemnity.

BernStOrff Satisfied
Submarine Difficulty
Almost SmOOthed Over

NEW YORK. Sept. l6-Count Johann
II. Won Bernstorf, the German ambas-
sador. Is convinced that within two
weeks the crisis in the relations be-
will have passed and that all difficulties
between the two countries will be clear
ed away
From a source close to the ambassa-
dor 1t was learned that he is convinced
the detailed explanation Of this coun-
try's attitude which he has just sent to
Berlin will bring from the government
there reply which will be entirely
acceptable to President Wilson.
Count Won Bernstorn. in a more
cheerful mood than he has been since
the beginning of the submarine contro-
versy. arrived in New York from Wash
ington. He went to the Hotel Ritz
Carlton. The ambassador would say
nothing for publication beyond the fact
that he would have nothing to give out
for fortnight-the time expected to
be required for a reply from Berlin. In
an informal discussion with friend,
however the ambassador Is known =.
have expressed his conviction that the
difficulties between his country and the
United States soon will disappear.
The message to Berlin included, be-
sides the evidence in the Arabic case
placed at the ambassadors disposal Sy
Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, a
personal explanation Of the situation.
The amba ssador feels that as far as
he personally is concerned he has
reached a position Of perfect accord
with Secretary Lansing. The Washing
ton conferences just concluded, he be-
lieves, have served to bring the views
Of the representatives of the two gov
ornments together in way which
leaves no point of dispute.
In the discussion, 1t was learned, NSn
Bernstorff has empha sized that he has
done all in his power. and that there
now Is nothing to do but to wait and
see If his Government will conform TO
his views. The ambassador Is con-
WINGED y will. While the ambassador
has made no definite plans, 1T Is un-
derstood that he will remain in New
York for several days
