S. . E H.Wike &Co. LAURENS, S. C. AlRBITItA'TIO NSUGOCESTED. German ieply may Contain Offer to Suppend Submarine Warfa re Pend 1111 Discussion of Possi)le Mode of Settlement. Washington, 'May IG.-Without word from Ambassador Gerard as to Ger many's attitude toward the recent American note, omlcial Washington at taches significance today to intimna tions in diplomatic quarters here friendly to Germany that the reply might contain an offer to suspend at tacks without warning on merchant ships, if the United States would re new its formal proposals for unre stricted passage of foodstuffs to Ger man civilians. Well informed European diplomats asserted that Germany most certainly Would offer to settle the question at issue by arbitration or diplomacy with an agreement to abandon submarine warfare while the discussion was in progress, Ollicials have been reticent in dis cussing the idea of arbitration or a proposal with reference to foodstuiffs, but It is indicated that the situation has progressed towarid the point where the United States would not be likely to be satisfied with any condi tional acquiescence in the American position. It was intimated, however, that if Germany accepted the Ameri can point of view, the national ten dency of the United States of its own initiative would be strongly to press its contention on the right to shipl foodstuffs to Germany. There is a l ikelihoo(l, too, tIat some understanding 51light pe reched through the med ium in of the A nericanu government whereby Germany could be assured definitely that no merchant ships leaving the United States would be arine, making it possible for sub marine commanders to exercise the right of visit and search with impun ity. Whether Great Britain would con sent to disarm all her merchant ves sels carrying contraband, however, is a matter of conjecture. That the question of permitting Americans to travel on armed mer chantmen may be taken under consid oration soon is intimated in well in formed quarters. On the other hand, some officials believe that will be lit tle necessity for this, as Great Britain already has informally agreed not to arm her vessels plying between British and American ports. What Is regarded as one of the hopeful signs in the general situation is the confidence reflected in offlcial and (ipliomatie quarters that Germany will meet the United States at least half-way, and will suspend for the time being her submarine attacks without warning during the diplomatic correspondence. In this connection there has been much comment here over the recent announcements from London that Great Britain did not. understand from Germany's answer last Alarch that. ile princlelp of sithmarine warfare woul(d he abandonled. It was notedi that the same ii 51nderstaldilng arose when the Geriuanl and British replies were received to the Amierican proposal for. tIe abandonment by Germiany of sub ma1,irine warfare and the use of milnes in return for Aitnerican supervision of tile (list ribit ion of foodstuffs If Eng land agreed to their unrestricted pas sage to Geriany when consigned to civilians.
