taken to foreshawod a declaration from Ber-

which would eliminate that source or dis-

Ambassador Gerard reporting rrom Ber-
lin the substance or a ronrerence with for-

sociated Press 'dispatches or earlier In the
day that Oermany even berore the sinking
of the Arabic had adopted a policy de-
signed tu settle completely the whole sub-
marine problem. The sute department did
not make public Ambassador Gerard's dls-
natrh hut the nnilmlsm Is reflected at the
state department and White House and was
taken a convincing proof that the situa-
tion onee threatening a break In rrlendly
relations between the two countries was
on the way to a settlement.

crisis passed and Inferred the views which

Secretary Lansing while outwardly en-
couraged was reserved awaiting some

House where It was mdirated that Presi-

Arable Attack Surprise to Germans.
From such Inrormation as nad reached
. hir 'i was aimarent that the sink
ing of the Arabic assuming ' that the ship
niii hv a auhrnarlne -was a-s much m
a surprise in Germany as It was to the rest
of the world ror. although It has not yet
been officially stated It Is believed thai

sinking ot the l.ustiania receiveu insu . -llons
to avoid another such disaster
it sin.-L'csieo today In diplomatic
quarters that while Oermany bad avoided
making a public announcement of that
ract she now wax In a position to do so
because of the victories or the German arms
In Poland. The same sources pointeri out.
that the victories or ibe German armies
aided the Liberal torces In Oermmy whlcn
have been contending ror the views wmch
Count von Bernstorrr has been urging on
bis foreign office.
The lierlin news oispaicin-s mnima '
the German chancellors declaration that
Germany had adopted a policy designed to
settle the question was puzzling' to Ameri-
can officials and even to those In German
quarters. It was suggested In one source
that it might foreshadow diplomatic dis-
cussion to be undertaken by Count von
lienistorfr with the stale depanneni which
would take up the question or the much
discussed modus Vivendi.
Reparation May Bs Demanded.
There Is no indication at tnti stage or how
Germany's new attitude will arrect the
case of the-Arabic ir It should be proved
to the satisfaction -or the American govern-
ment that a submarine sunk the ship with-
out warning the United States propably not
"only will ask a disavowal or the act but
assurances against repetition as well as
reparation for the Americans who sur-
rered A guarantee that there would be no
similar acts in the ruture In the fortlicom-

of goo.i feeling; between Americana and Mexicans alike hla renr.oval should

He Is probably here merely because the original arrest was made here. The
Times has no desire to prejudge him but ha can be made Just as conxfortable
In Ban Antonio as at Kogt Bliss and certainly If the trial Is to take place tn
Ban Antonio It will oost no more to take him there now than at a later
date. The Morning Times Is a strong advocate of peace In Mexico. The
Times believes that peace la not far away and the good people of the two
nations in aEl Paso are Inclined to be close warm friends yet It Huerta re-
