Convinced of the good faith uf both Germany ard Austria ill their willing ness to keep their Subm3 "ine warfare within bounds. officials ill Washington expressed confidence that within reasonably short time Germany will make the final move necessary for a complete settlement of the Lusitania issue.
 This settlement iS expected to em- brace what the United States can ac. ccpt as disavowal of the attack OH the CUnard liner. as well as an agree ment for the payment of q money in demnity for the no American lives lost when the vessel was sunk. Al. though still at odds on the form of this disavowal the two powers. high otfi cials of the state department predict. would reach a satisfactory agreement. Disavowal of the attack. reparation for the lives lost and the assurances which R ermany already has given that she will abide by the accepted rules af warfare. will comprise. officials say. everything that President Wilson de manded in his last formal note in the Lusitania dispute-the note of July 21 1915. which Mir. Bryan resigned from the cabinet rather than sign.
 The state department is still lacking evidence necessary to prove that the British liner Persia was attacked Inv a submarine and is now awaiting the out come of the official inquiries which the German and Austrian governments a"e making of their submarine command CTS in the Mediterranean. TTnless those investigations show that a German or Austrian submarine was responsible. the American government. it is admit ted in adminiStra tiOn circles. will he compelled to give up any further at tempt to seek satisfaction in this case On the other hand it is predicted if either Germany or Austria accent re- sDonsibility for the attack the United States promptly will demand sotisfac- ton. This demand will go beyond a disavowal. punishment of the com mander and reparation.
