SATISFACTION If Ship Was Sunk Without Warning Reparation for Loss of Americans Will Be Made. Washington, D. C.—Germany’s in tention to offer full satisfaction to the United States for the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic with the loss of two American lives formally was communicated to the state depart ment by Count von Bernstorff, Ger man ambassador, acting on instruc tions from the foreign office of the imperial German government. The memorandum read to Robert Lansing, secretary of state, by Count von Bernstorff, outlined the position of the German government in the Arabic case and promised that if it is found that the Arabic was attacked without warning, the imperial Ger man government not only would dis avow the act, but would give the United States "full satisfaction.” This it is known would have to in clude reparation for the Americans lost and assurances that such trage dies would not be repeated. it has become known that the state department has been informed that Germany is ready to renew discussion of the Lusitania incident and to offer reparation for the American lives lost "hen that vessel was sent to the bot tom without warning by a German submarine. There has been no re sponse to the last American note on the subject and it is known that the l tilted States will not listen to rep aration [proposals with the situation created by the sinking of the Arabic still pending. With the attack on the Arabic disavowed, however, and guar antees given against repetition, a Ger man communication explaining that the Lusitania was torpedoed as a re rrisal against Great Britain under a misapprehension that she was armed and that killing of Americans was re gretted and not intended, and offer ing reparation, probably would pave the way for an amicable settlement. Welch Miners Again Strike. London.—Reports from the South Wales coal fields state that 25,0uo miners have joined the new strike.

The situation was strained further when the colliers learned that Mr. Runci man had declined to see a deputation representing them. The miners charge Mr. Runciman with going behind the mangefhents made by David Lloyd George and demand that Mr. Lloyd Geroge make good his promises. Wife and Children Burn to Death, San Francisco, Cal—Warren Persh. ing. 5-year-old son of Brigadier Gen eral John Pershing, was the only one of the family of five rescued front his burning home at the Presidio of San Francisco, in which his mother and his three sisters, Mary Margaret, Anne and Helen, were suffocated and burn ed to death.

Truman H. Newberry's comments on Our naval equipment serve to remind us that a favorite theme of the artist —the sea battle—is spoiled forever. Modern vessels fight at from ten to seventeen miles, if they fight at all, and thrilling pictures such as Jones. Perry, Farragut. Nelsotf and Dewey have inspired probably will not be painted again. Marine warfare has become very largely a matter of hide-and-seek any way. So far has the gunmaker out stripped the armorplate builder that were equally matched vessels to en gage. a few seconds’ firing would re duce millions of dollars' worth of ships to scap-iron shambles. And when the Skulking menace of the submarine is considered we can understand how completely the tra ditions of sea fighting have been up set. it was predicted mat modern war fare on land would be stripped of all its former aspects, but we are told of bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards apart, of steel helmets and even of full suits of armor being used. Yet on the sea what destruction has been wrought has been through methods far removed from the oid-fashioned stand-up fight through which heroes of other days won their fame. Two Singles.
