THIS POSITION OF AMERICA Probably Will Be No Opposition to Fixing Amount of Dam ages Thus. CARTE BLANCHE TO BERNSTORFF I WASHINGTIN, Sept. 3. The Americanpouitlontoward a method of fixing reparation for Uvea and prop erty lost in German submarine opera tions, scuh as the Lusltania and the Arabic, has not been finally deter mined, but there probably will be no opposition to fixing the amounts by arbitration. Aa arbitration, however could cover only the extent oC damagea and not the question of the principle that unarmed merchant ships must not be sunk with out warning and opportunity for the es cape of nonoombatants. Berlin dispatches, apparently officially inspired, saying Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, has wide dis cretionary powera to apeak for his gov ernment in the final negotiations over submarine warfare, have caused a large measure of gratification among American officials, who have had many evidences of the ambassador's efforts to prevent a break between Germany and the United Stat Police Officers Use Their Clubs During Crane Strike Riot BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 3. A riot In which hundreds of persons took part took place outside the Crane Valve com pany today, and ten police officers were forced to use their clubs to regain con trol of the situation.

In high offi cial circles here It is learned authori tatively that recent rumors of peace have no foundation In any step taken by the British government or in any statement Issued here from author itative sources. No member of the government would allow himself to bo quoted in discussion of the pence rumors which recently have gained wide circula tion. The Associated Press, however, was authorlied to make public the foregoing explicit denial. WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. Th United States will make no further efforts to bring about peace in Eu rope until it has received informa tion that its good offices will be wel comed by both sides In the conflict. This was stated unauthorltatlvely here today in official discussions of the message from Pope Ilenedlct, de livered to President Wilson yester day by Cardinal Gibbons. From the fact that the Vatican Is in close touch with Austria, the con struction placed by officials on the pope's message Is that the Germanic powers would be willing to discuss peace at this time. It was stated by those in closest toucn with the ad ministration that similar word will hav4 to be received from Great BrHiln and its allies before the pres ident will make any further move.
