Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary Landing announced to-day that Ger many had disavowed the sinking of tiie Arabic, and was ?'.?uared to pay an indemnity for the American lives lost. Letter from Kernstorff. Secretary Lansing gave out the text of a letter received from Am bassador von Hernstorff, which was as follows: "My Dear Mr. Secretary: Prompt ed by the desire to reach a satisfac tory agreement with regard to the Arabic incident, my government has given me the following instructions: "The orders issued by his majesty, the emperor, to the commanders of ?he German submarines-of which I notified you on a previous occasion - have been made so stringent that the recurrence of incidents similar to the Arabie case is considered out of the question. "According to the report of Com ' mander Schneider, of the submarine I which sank the Arabic, and his affida ; vits, as well as those of his men, Commander Schneider was convinced j that thf Arabic intended to ram the submarine, j "On the other hand, the imperial 1 government d' es not doubt the good . faith of the affidavit of thc British I officers of the Arabic, according to j which thc Arabic did not intend to ram the submarine. The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the commander. The imperial govern ment regrets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Schnei der accordingly. "Under these circumstances my government is prepared to pay an in demnity for American lives, which to its deep regret, have been lost on the Arabic. 1 am authorized to negoti ate with you about the amount of this indejinity. "1 remain, my dear Mr. Lansing, "Yours very sincerely, ".1. von Hernstorff." No Comment hy Lansing. Secretary Lansing said he would ; make no comment on the ambassa dor's letter, as he considered the text spoke for itself. Inasmuch as the ambassador is act ing with the fullest powers, hi? rep resentations are considered as final, the crisis is considered passed and , nothing remains to the Arabic case except the llxiug of indemnity, which : will not be done by arbitration, as I Germany first proposed, but by dlp 1 .'omatic negotiations between the two ' governments. These negotiations j probably will begin orally. In the absence of official comment, ; the ambassador's letter was generally regarded as signalizing a completely successful outcome for the principles for which President Wilson has con tended in the submarine warfare controversy which nt least twice brought Germany and the United Sta.es to tb:- brink ol' a break in dip lomatic relations. Inasmuch as the Washington gov I eminent has contended that the Ara bic case must first be settled before it could consider the question of in demnities growing out of the sinking of the Lusitania, for which Germany has offered to pay, it is believed that feature of the controversy will next be taken up.

Weber's dis course yesterday at Washington street Methodist church. This sad fact was characteristic of life in ali of its kingdoms. So many fail to at tain to full development, (io into the forest and we see many lull grown trees, noble oaks, whose trunks and limbs and branches have all reached a complete growth and which consti tute objects we admire. Hut here and there we lind a stunted tree, gnarled and knotted, with crooked stem and dwindled limbs, and presenting a sad <ontrast to the perfect kingdom. A normally developed animal excites our admiration hy its strength and beauty. Hut with some their natural growth has been arrested and they are dwarfed and excite our pity So of man. There is nothing more beau tiful in nature than a perfectly devel open man or woman. Hut alas, so many of our race. f.om various causes, fail to attain to complete growth. Hut sadder than any physical fail ure is the failure of the mind--to see a well developed body and the mind of an idi)t. And saddest of all is the undeveloped soul. And yet the great number of Christians are ."babes," undeveloped characters, ar rested growths. They were truly converted, but they failed to grow. Here Dr. Weber showed how the love of worldly pleasure arrested spiritual life. He said Dr. Chapman had said that the church was at one time made up of two classes, the Marys and the Marthas, but now there was a third ( lass-the Bridgets, and the Bridgets in some places almost shut out the Marys and Marthas. But if those who are fond of playing cards would con secrate their lives to spiritual ends they would wonder how they ever found pleasure in such frivilous pas times. lt was a very earnest and ten der message.
