BERLIN, via London. Jan. 3l--Opin-

line "Unacceptable." speaks OF the note

LuSaanta Arbitration Is

Lansing Rejects New Proposal to Submit the Ques-
ton of Disavowal to The Hague-Situaton
Grave but Not Dangerous


WAsHiNGroN, Jan. Si.-The United
states has completely shut off any hope
OF settlement of the Lusitania case
with Germany through the machinery of
International arbitration.
This fact obtained tonight from an
official source indicates the extent to
which Secretary Lansing has gone in
his demand for an unconditional dis
avowal by Germany.
The refusal to arbitrate. !, was
learned. was based on the ground that.
the vital interests and national honor
Of the United States being involved. the
matter was one which could not he sub
mitted to arbitration.
1t was the second time such pro-
posal has been turned down, and it was
rejected finally at the last conference
which the Secretary OF State had with
Ambassador Won Bernstortf.
The first proposal was made soon
after the Lusitania was sunk. At that
time it was rejected on the ground that
| the United States had no assurances
| that pending AN arbitral decision by the
| Hague court. to which Germany pro-
posed TO submit the dispute. Germany
would not continue sinking merchant
vessels without warning.
