AMBASSADOR VON BERNS?
TORFF NOTIFIES LANS
ING OF HIS DECISION
IS DIPLOMATIC
VICTORY FOR U.S.
Disavowal Closes Last Chapter of
Controversy Over Germany's
Submarine Warfare.
Washington, Oct. 5.-Germany baa
acceded to the American demands tor
a settlement of the Arabic case. The .
imperial government, through Count
von Bernstorff, disavows the sinking
of the vessel and announces it has so
notified the submarine commander
who made tee attack. It expresses
regret for the loss of American lives
and agrees to pay indemnity te the
families of the Americans lost.
Official Washington ls gratified by
the diplomatic victory. The com
munication was delivered to Secretary
Lansing by the German ambassador
today, pursuant to Instructions from
his government to spread absolute
confidence that there will be no more
submarine controvert!er, between the
United States and Germany, for the
document reveals that stringent or
ders have been given German subma
rine commanders to prevent a recur
rence of the Arabic Incldsnt.
With the Arabic controversy set
tled the despatch to England of the
American note on interference with
trade is expected in a few days. Pres*
ident Wilson has refused consistent
ly to send this communication as long
as the controversy was pending.
Washington, Oct. 5.-The German
Ambassador Bernstorff gave Beere?
tary Lansing oral assurance tn re
spect to the Arabic case that point
to a satisfactory settlement accord
ing to omelet information obtained
after their interview today. He left
no memorandum or document with
Secretary Lansing. He made sug
gestions looking toward aa amend
ment of tho communication presented
last Saturday. Until the document ls
changed from the. form in which lt
was received, and its ph rase logy ex
amined, lt was indicated that officials
would not be certain as to whether
the case could be considered on tbs
road to adjustment. From the Ger
man embassy came intimations that
the American viewpoint had' been
satisfactorily met, ano. the entire
submarine issue was in process of an
amicable settlement, lt was pointed
out that a disavowal of tho sinking
of the Arabic was given through tba
acceptance by Germany of the evi
dence submitted by the United States
tending to prove that the German
commander erred when he thought
the Arabic was trying to sink the
submarine*. Secretary Lensing re
ported the convocation personally to
President Wilson.
Berniter? Maka? Changes.
Washington. Oct. fi.-Ambassador
Bernstorff later made changes in the
communications submitted Saturday
to c mform to the wishes bf the United

said there would bo an announcement
shortly on the statu? ot the negotia
tions.
