Germany's reply to tho Bryan note will draw a distinct line between tho

that so far a tho Gulflight Is concerned the reply will leavo nothing to ho

Abandonment by Germany of submarine warfare Is not taken seriously

ARBITRATION BASIS OF GERMAN
REPLY, WASHINGTON BELIEF
WASHINGTON. May 17.
Official Washington today believes the
Gorman Government will offer to sub
mit the questions at Issue betueen the
countries to arbitration, but the Impres
blon la growing stronger that such a pro
posal will not meet the approval of
President Wilson and his advisers. The
belief Is general among olllclals and diplo
mats that Germany will not agree to
cease submarlno warfaro against non
combatants and will urge that n countrj
"to proud to flght" should find a way
to preent the furnishing of arms and
ammunition to her enemies b meant, iu
passergcr ships. The practice, Germany
is expected to declare, Is unmoral and
should be Btopped at once.
The belief that a suggestion of arbitra
tion would be opposed by this Govern
ment is based on the attitude taken by
President Wilson In the discussion of the
sinking by tho German raider Prinz Eltel
Freldrlch, of the American sailing ship
William P Frye. Then It was stated that
this question was not one for prize court,
as suggested by Germany, but for diplo
matic consideration.

In a spectacular battle far above the

English n.tval aviators from the Dunkirk
station altucked and severely damaged

English coast towns along the Downs
early today.

wore subjected to heavy fire from the
airship's machine guns, but escaped with
out casualties.
The Zennelln was first attacked by Eng
lish aviators along the British coast and
driven out to sea near the West Hinder
lightship. Wireless messages to the
British aviation camp at the French sea
port of Dunkirk brought elaht naval blr
planes daillne to the attack above the
channel.
Three aviators closed In about the Zep
pelin, tiring at close range. Two others
tilted Into the clouds until they wer
directly over the big dirigible, which
Bped eastward at 4Q miles an hour.
The aviators above began dropping
bombs at the Zeppelin from a. height or
200 feet. One bomb crashed through the
huge bag and almost immediately a large
column of smoke arose through the
clouds. The crew of the dirigible quick
ly began throwing out bags of ballast.
and she rose to a peigm oi n.vw ieei,
tall downward and apparently drifting
helplessly high in the clouds
Tl.a Mmmnndpr nf the flvlnfir earns wlr-
lessed the Admiralty that he had every
reason to believe the Zeppelin was so
badly damaged she would be unable to
make land.
Samuel Hammerman, of 222$ South 34
street, made his 11th attempt to commit
milcldo today. Prior to the attempt h
is said to have terrorized his wife and
children throughout the night by keeping
them locked In rooms on the second
floor of their home and threatening to
"blow their heads off" If they 'tried to,
escape.
Accenting to the man's wife, Mrs. Lena
Hammerman, her husband was Intoxi
cated. She asserts that hla actions last
night and this morning were a repetition
of similar episodes which have occurred
often in the past. No attempt was made
to leave the rooms n which they were
locked until the odor of gas became so
strong that William Hemmerman. IT
jears old, decided that his father was at
tempting suicide once more
He found the man stretched on the floor
of his bedroom, a tube from the gaajct
lying beside him and the gaa turned on
An ambulance was summoned and Ham
merman waa rushed to the Mount Slnat '
Hospital, He Is reported In a serious con
dition at that hospital.
