communicating with the l'orte exclusively
through the Italian Ambassador at Con
stantinople. Despite the rigid censorship. It Is now
known that the Italian Oocrnment prac

Turkey, not, as stated through the Turk
ish Ambassador In name, but through
Marches Garronl, Italian Ambassador in
Constantinople.
The Turkish proposal that all Italians
In Asia Minor be concentrated at Smyrna
and embark from that port, Is declared
completely acceptable. It Is pointed out
that under such circumstances repatria
tion would take several weeks. It Is
strongly suspected that Turkey desires to
concentrate the Italians at Smyrna In
order to hold them hostages.
Natsy Bey. who would be given his
passport, stated that he had already rent

eventuality.

U. S. Will Not Act Until Exact
Nature and Circumstances

Ascertained
WASHINGTON CONFIDENT
Situation Considered Grave, but Hope
Is Felt for Amicable Adjust
ment of Case
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.
No official reports had been received
nt noon today concerning the Arabic case.
Stories by the torpedoed liner's sur
vivors, especially Americans, were ex
pected momentarily from Ambassador
Page In London. Press messages said
they had been dispatched; they had not
reached Washington.
The conviction grew that the Adminis
tration could not make up Its mind on
the strength of the London version. Ber
lin would have to be heard from, too.
It was stated. Not a word had come from
Ambassador Gerard. If he did not re
port speedily. It was expected he would
be asked to seek a statement, through
the Kaiser's Admiralty, from the com
mander of the submarine which sank the
Arabic.
Officials regarded the situation Berlous
ly but confidently Most of them, and
these, the most. Important, said they be
lieved a way would be found of avoiding
a break with Germany. If they had any
substantial reason for thinking this, they
would not reveal It. It was the general
sentiment, however.
Kxplanatlons were looked for from Ber
lin. Th Ailmlntutrntlnn'a itdln.ln I.

the face from Germany to the United
States, It was stated, but It has no In
tention of disregarding the kalser'a For
eign Office, if the latter has nnvthlnir to
say.
The suggestion most commonly ad
vanced was that Germany would de
clare: The Arabic was torpedoed when still
wiinin na armed convoy's protection
zone.
That the White Star liner tried to ram
the submarine.
That the merchantman either tried to

decreed that there is to be no discussion

The work of clearing the marsh land,

yesterday, following an Investigation by

section to such an extent that the odor
of the protecting fumes could be detected

It Is also said that tho discovery of

the fact that the funds appropriated for
exterminating mosquitoes at the disposal
of the Bureau of Highways aggregate
only J35O0 this year.
This sum Is made up of an appropria
tion of (2500 In the annual budget and a
second appropriation of J100O made' by
Councils In June for mosquito extermina
tion on private property. It Is said that
these sums are nearly exhauctcd at the
present time.
Among those who have taken an active
Interest In Investigating the matter It is
said that every effort must be made by
residents of South and West Philadelphia,
next December to have Councils appro
priate J50.000 In the annual budget with
which to wage the mosquito warfare next
year. It Is pointed out that experts agre
work should be begun In January, when
the marsh lands are frozen and may bo
cleared and trenched with little difficulty.
Already efforts nre being made to gain
tho active co-operation of Influential men
to see that an adequate appropriation be
placed at the disposal of the Division of
