After thanking the neutral ministers

Greece, the reply says:

establishment and maintenance or or

Passenger Ship

Such information as the American
government now has tends to show the
Arabia to have been a passenger ship
of the Peninsula and Oriental Line
passing through the Mediterranean on
a regular trip.
Among the many passengers was an
American citizen who was rescued.
The German note which was made
public today by the State department
says If official data is furnished show
ing that the vessel was an ordinary
passenger steamer. This then would
be a case Of regrettable mistake from
which the German government would
promptly draw the proper conse-
quences." It is assumed here that the
consequences would be an expression
of regret and an offer of reparation for
any injury or danger suffered by the
American on board.
The note has been referred to Presi-
dent Wilson, who is considering per-
sonally a review of recent German
submarine activities to which the Ara
bia case comes as a climax.
There will probably be no immedi-
ate action as the state department

OF Criminal Character

These combinations are believed by
the government investigators to have
been criminal in character, rather
spasmodic and rather short lived.
Special attention is being given just
now to alleged price manipulation in
the so-called coal corner which re-
Gently resulted in sending prices to a
panic level Investigation of the high
price of coal, hardly as yet begun, has
already convinced some officials that
there is no warrant whatever for $12
coal in Boston and New York other
than the activity of these alleged COM
binations. Whether men who pfoflted
most can be punished under federal
laws is said to be still under consid-
Grafton.
Every federal agency with even a
remote relation to the situation was
called on today to play it's part in the
great machinery of investigation which
the government had put into operation.

New Restrictions

Washington, Dec. 7-.Sew restrictions
on American trade with Russia were an

a circular setting forth conditions to gov
ern shipments passing through the block
ade lines into Sweden, through which
country most American exports to Russia
are handled. Aside from goods destined
for the Russian government only "a COM
modities can be sent to Russia under the
regulations and rigid conditions must be

for the shipments will be issued.

Means Quick Formation

This indicates that in an unexpectedly
short time the new premier sees his way
to the formation of an administration anu
he was probably able to submit to the
King a preliminary draft list of the prin-
eipal proposed ministers. Doubtless mucn
remains to be done in the way of alloca-
ton of the new posts and SO far as the
public Is concerned the personnel of the
ministry is matter of pure speculation.
The premier still has plenty of time be-
fore he has to meet Parliament on Tues
day to complete details, and he will
doubtless be in a position to present to
the House of Commons his new national
ministry, representing all parties with the
possible exception of the Nationalist, ana

Labor Party's Support
Little reliance can be placed upon the
numerous names canvassed during the
day, but it seems certain his field OF
choice is much wider than was hastily as
sumed last night, when the admittedly
difficult task confronting him was uper-
most in the public mind and provoked
misgivings regarding his chances OF So
curing any continued support In Parlia-
ment. These misgivings to large ex-
tent has disappeared. mainly owing to the
fact that he has been able to gain the
support Of the Labor party by an oner or
two ministerial posts and three under
secretaryships.
With the vote Of the Laborites together
with the bulk of the Unionists and
large section Of the Liberals demanding
more energetic prosecution Of the war,
Mr.. Iloyd George probably will command
a working majority in the House Of Com
mon. while a further asset will be the
benevolent neutrality even OF the sup
porters of the late cabinet In the national
interests.
Possibly many parliamentary and
ministerial traditions will be Jettlson-
ed but Mr. Lloyd George has a repu-
tation for courage and holiness and Is
not a great stickler for TRADITION.
Therefore, some surprises may appear
in the distribution Of the new offices.
What already is apparent. however, Is
that the new ministry will not as was
first assumed. be a mere glorified was
council of only a few members, but a
ministry on the old lines, but much
smaller than the Asquith administra-
ton.
How Mr.. Lloyd George proposes to
get over the difficulty Of his own maxi
ing, when he declared that the pre-
mier was too occupied to be able to
preside over the war council is still one
of the problems unsolved. 1t appears
that Mr.. Lloyd Georges plans were
secured only by a narrow majority In
the meeting of the Labor party, and
there may be some restiveness on the
part of a section of the party. but this
is not likely to occur with the compile
ton of the cabinet. It is stated that
feeling has been aroused in the party
that the new policy Of "thoroughness"
adopted by the new government may
include naturalization Of railroads,
shipping and mines.
The greatest interest centers In the
personality Of the new foreign secre-
tary. Two names are mentioned-Mr.
Lloyd George himself and Lord Cur

Russian Failure

On the Moldavian west frontier and
farther north along the Bukowina bor-
der the Russian attacks against the
Austro- German force have failed to
make any impression.
An official communication from Ber-
lin says Bucharest was captured
without any fighting except by the
Rumanian infantry north and west of
the capital. This resistance was quick

vaders entered the town from all sides,

where it might lead. The activities OF
certain men, however, are known to be
under surveillance and no small part of
the work assigned to the 80 add investi-
gators in the field is looking into the ac-
tivities of these men for the past few
months.
United States Attorney Anderson OF
Boston, in charge of the inquiry, spent
the day gathering data. He conferred
with officials in the departments of JUS
time, agriculture, commerce and labor.
He also had long conference with Capt.
Meyer of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with reference to interstate ship
ments of coal.
Mr.. Anderson will remain in Washing
ton a day or two and later will go to
Chicago, where federal grand jury is
conducting an inquiry. He also hopes to

sas City, Minneapolis and perhaps other
middle western cities with view of gath
ering information.
The grand jury investigation at Chica-
go it is expected will be productive OF
valuable information.
At the outset certain phases OF the
investigation have developed interest
ing sidelights which have a general
bearing on the situation. For instance,
