AVOWS ING OF ARABIC Announces More Stringent Order to Submarines ? Bernstoff Explains Fully His Government's Desire to Eliminate i Cause of Differences?Basis C_ r . hi + ivr DerriemenT or Lusitania 1 and Falaba Cases at Hand. Washington, Oct. 6.?Germany has ? acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. The imperial government, through its ambassador, Count von BernstorfT, disavows the sinking of the vessel, announces that it has so notified the submarine commander who made the attack, expresses regret for the loss of American lives, and agrees to pay ' an indemnity to the families of Americans lost. Official Washington was both grati- ' 1 fied and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication deliv1 ered to Secretary Lansing today by the ambassador pursuant to general instructions from his government spread absolute confidence that there would be no more submarine contro' versies between the United States and Germany, for the document reveals : that stringent orders have been given to submarine commanders to prevent j a recurrence of such incidents as the 1 Arabic. Since this case embraces the princiDles for whir-h Pi-oci.iont w?? K * <vn?UVilV TT Il.tUll CUII* tended in his notes on the torpedoing : of the Lusitania and Falaba, concessions made by Germany to the American viewpoint were generally regarded tonight as paving the way for amicable settlement of all the cases. Count von Bernstorff left here to, night expressing the confident hope j that relations between Germany and . the United States would continue to improve. , With settlajnent of the Arabic cons Vr-oversy tha dispatch to Great Britain of the long delayed American note on . interference with trade is expected j within a few days. ; It was not until the German amj bassador submitted his letter at nearly _ 1 o'clock today that the change in the relations between Germany and the f United States became definite. Sect retary Lansing carried it to the White l House and shortly afterward anB nounced its text, which follows: j "My dear Mr. Secretary: Prompted s by the desire to reach a satisfactory s agreement with regard to the Arabic n incident, my government has given _ me the following instructions: ^ " 'The order issued by his majesty ? the emnorer to the rammnnilerc the German submarines?of which I notified you on a previous occasion? _ has been anide so stringent that the e recurrence of incidents similar to the j Arabic case is cons iored out of the , question. ^ " 'According to the report of Com_ mander Schneider of the submarine which sank the Arabic, and his affi. davit as well as those of his men, j Commander Schneider was convinced 1 that the Arabic intended to ram the submarine. t " 'On the other hand, the imperial government does not doubt the good s faith of the affidavit of the British offis cers of the Arabic, according to which the Arabic did not intend to ram the _ submarine. The attack of the sul>t) marine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the commando!. .{The imperial government regrets and ;1 disavows this act and has not ifit .1 , Commander Schneider accordingly. (, " 'Under these circumstances my I i </> v.-1 iiinfiK i: prepared pay an ms demnity for American lives which, to k its drop regret. have been lost on the Arabic. 1 am authorized to negotiate with you about the amount >f s this indemnity. , '"I remain, my dear Mr, 1i -.r " 'Yours very sincerely, , (Signed) "'J. von BernstorfY. " Secretary Lansing made no comment on the ambassador's lettoi ?*x , cept to remark that it spoke for itself. He was much pleased over the conclusion of the ease, because since the sinking of the Arabic he inaugurated the idea of personal negotiations in Washington. This method of cxchang^ ing views was welcomed by Coun' von j- Bernstorff too, particularly as he has ,. had no means of direct communication * with his government. To this lack of i communication has been attribute d much of the ill feeling that characterized the earlier stages of the .submarine controversy. Today's events spread satisfaction everywnere, not only at the White J House and state department, hut at the German embassy as well. ? i RETURNS TO UNION. Dr. 1). H.
