ROTABLE VICTOBT, SAYS LONDON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Count
(Vcn Bernntorff, the German ambas
.dor, acting on InstrucUona from
Berlin, notified Secretary Lansing to
Uy that "full satisfaction" mould be
Vtven to the United States for the
sinking of the White Star liner Ara
bic. The ambassador explained that
Germany would make more than a
frere dlaarowal If It is found the Ara
I lc was sunk without warning.
Count Von Bernatorff called at the
?tate department early and conferred
with Secretary Lansing nearly half
in hour. H bad been auggested that
prbaps Germany wat ready also to
make reparation for the Americana
lost on the Lusltanla, but that sub
ject did not come up at today's con
ference. The disposition of the Ger
man embassy Is to take up one step
t a time.

The German ambaasador frankly stated although the new artillery P""'. Ktort
after his Interview with Mr. Lanalng
that Ms Instructions embodied the dec
laration by the Berlin government that
It would give full satisfaction to the
American government. That, ha de
clared, meant much more than a dis
avowal. Of course, he ssld, the giving
of satisfaction would depend upon the
circumstances of the attack on the Ara
bic. The German government did not
yet know, he said, whether the Arabic
was sunk by a German submarine and
without warning, but, if Investigation
proves that te have been the case, Ger
many will make full reparation.
The ambassador said he believed the
negotiations over the Loulsltanla, In view
of the official statement In Berlin, that
submarine policy satisfactory te the
United States would be announced.
Count Von Bernatorff said lie did not
see the measaga sent to the 'tat de
partment by Ambaasador Gerard. , .
It Is known, however, that Ambassador
tierard's dispatch agrees with Count
Von Bernstorffa advioea, that submarine
commanders have been Instructed to at
tack no peaceful merchant ships without
warning.
The American government, neverthe
less, will presa for a clearing up ef th
entire submarine controversy before It
will consider the Arablo and Louieitanla
Incidents closed. -
President Wilson plans te remain In
Washington, however, until the contro
versy Is finally cleared up.

Count von Bernatorff, Oerman ambaasa

chantmen without warning are displayed
prominently today tn the London news
papers. Toe Westminster Gaaette says:
"If Count von Bernatorff Is speaking
with full authority the American govern
ment can claim to have won a notable
victory."
It Is suggested that the American gov
ernment wilt be aatlsfted if commanders
of German submarines always warn pas
senger vessels and place their passengers
In boats before sinking the vessels," said
the Spectator. "Wo do not bslleva for a
