GERMANY HANDS GKRAR0
NEW SUBMARINE NOTE
Centlnned from fare One
lln newspapers for publication In the
afternoon newspapers of today. The early
editions containing the text of the note
carried no editorial comment
U. S. WILL REJECT BERLIN'S
STAND IN ARABIC NOTE
WASHINGTON, Bept 10.
The Stats Department has begun prepa
ration of a reply to the German note on
the Arable, emphatically rejecting the
sufgestlon that the submarine commander
was entirely within his rights In torpedo
ing the liner, and also the contention
that Germany Is not under obligation to
grant Indemnity In the matter. This note
will be presented to President Wilson for
his approval as soon aa completed.
It was Intimated In official circles that
there Is no Intention of consulting further
with Ambassador von nernstorff on tho
subject. The note when approved will be
handed to the German Foreign oinco by
Ambassador Gerard, to whom It will be
cabled.
President Wilson. It Is understood, takes
tho position that tho Arabic no to and the
German submarine commander's claims
are entirely nt variance with the physical
facts in the matter, the Arabia having
been torpedoed far astern Insteud of In
a bow section, which would hnve been
tho esse had she been trying to ram the
submarine.
President Wilson had before him today
the German Arabic note. There was de
cided disappointment in official circles over
the tone of the document, even though It
expressed regret that lives were lost The
flat declaration that the German Govern
ment Is "unable, however, to acknowledge
any obligation to grant Indemnity In the
matter, even though tho commander
should have been mistaken as to the
aggressive Intention of the Arabic" has
displeased greatly ofllclals close to the
President, They declare that It Is an open
prejudging of the case with the suggestion
of arbitration. If the two Governments
cannot reach a harmonious agreement on
this point does not soften.
Many officials were Inclined to believe
that the President would make this plain
to Germany In a peremptory note. There
was no attempt, however, to disguise the
disappointment over tho gcneinl tone of
tho memorandum, which Is characterized
In official circles as more a general de
fense of submarine warfare than nn effort
to meet the known wishes of tho Admin
istration. The President and Secretary Lansing
planned to confer en the Arabic noto
either late today or tomorrow, to decldo
on a course of action.
Ofllclals today became more amazed at
tho general tone of the note the more they
examined It Not only was It far from
conciliatory, they said, but It apparently
was written to end the matter according
to the German point of vlow.
It waa thought possible that the note
was drafted in such a manner so as to
purposely delay action and to draw on
a controversy. This, It was made plain
by ofllclals today, positively would not
be permitted. The answer now being
drafted by the Btate Department, It was
said, would be sharp and to tho point,
and would reject In toto ail of Germany's
suggesttops.
The text of the note Is as follows:
On August 19 a German submarine
stopped the English steamship Dunsley
about IS nautical miles south of Klnsale
and was on the point of sinking the
prize by gunfire after tho crew had left
me vessel, ai mis moment the com
mander saw a
large ateamshln maklntr
was recognized as an enemy vessel, as I
ahe did not fly any flag and bore no J
neutral markings. !
When she approached she altered her !
origins courc, dui men again pointed
directly toward the submarine. From
this the commander became convinced
that tho steamship had the intention of
attacking and ramming him.
In order to anticipate this attack he
gave orders for tho submarine to dlvo
and fired a torpedo at the steamship,
After firing ho convinced himself that
the people on board were being rescued
In 15 boats.
According to his Instructions, the com
mander was not allowed to attack the
Arabic without warning and without
saving tho lives unless tho ship at
tempted to escape or offered resistance.
He was forced, however, to conclude
from the attendant circumstances that
the Arabic planned a violent attack on
the submarine.
This conclusion Is all the more obvious
as he had been fired upon at a great dis
tance In the Irish Sea on August 14 that
Is, a few days before by a large passen
ger steamship apparently belonging to
the British Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, which he had neither attacked
nor stopped.
The German Government r.iost deeply
regrets that lives were lost through the
action of the commander. It particularly
expresses this regret to the Government
of the United States on account of tho
death of American citizens.
The German Government Is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obligation
to grant Indemnity In the matter, even
If the commander should have been mis
taken aa to the aggressive Intentions or
the Arabic.
DENY FORD BUYS TIRE STOCK

Mexican First Chief, in Note to
Pan-Americn, Will Ask
Virtual Recognition
WOULD TAKE UP CLAIMS
WASHINGTON, Sept: lO.-Gcneral Car
rnnr.n will make a counter proposal to
the Invitation of the United States and
six Lntln-Amerlcan countries to partici
pate In a peace conference. It has been
learned upon the highest authority that
his reply, which will arrive here today
or tomorrow, will reject emphatically
the Invitation to send delegates to a
pence conference.
nut he will ndd that thero Is no reason
why his government should not send rep
resentatives to a conference participated
In by the fnlted States and other for
eign countiles to discuss "any and all
International problems affecting Mex
ico " He will make It plain in his reply
that no Internal Mexican problems are
to be taken up.
WOULD CONSIDER CLAIMS.
The settlement of several hundred mil
lions of dollars' worth of claims against
tho Mexlran Government Is the first of
the International questions which Car
ranzn desires to consider. He will sug
gest that he appoint a commission to
meet with separate commissions ap
pointed by the United States. Spain,
France and Great Britain. These com
missions would endeavor to adjust the
claims which citizens of the various coun
tries hold against the Mexican Govern
ment. Carrnnza will declnre in his reply that
tho final adjustment of these claims will
depend upon recognition of his govern
ment. Tho position being taken by General
Carrnnza la exactly the same as the one
taken by him In June, 11I, when ho was
Invited to send representatives to the
peace conference at Niagara Falls. Tho
mediators at that time failed to renllzo
the Importance of beginning tho adjust
ment of tho claims against the Mexlran
Government. It is understood here today
that the pressure will bo brought to bear
to have Carranza's counter pioposal ac
cepted when the next conference of Sec
retary Lansing and envoys of the six
Latin-American republics meet.
VILLA HAItD PRESSED.
Villa Is hard pressed In northern Mexico
and a large part of his army Is facing
annihilation, nccordlng to dispatches to
the State Department from Its consular
representatives In Mexico. He Is exxacu
atlng Torreon, while a strong force ,of
Carrnnza soldiers has attacked his out
posts at Pedro de las Colonial, east of
that city.
VIlltBtn, ofllclals here declare Villa Is
personally In command of his troops, and
Is evacuating Torreon to take up a better
strategic position previously prepared.

DUMBA CASE NOT CRITICAL
. ,,....
Henry R. Edmunds Sees No Need for
Worry
International law experts of this clt
do not believe that the request of Presi
dent Wilson that Ambassador Dumba be
recalled will result in any "tense situa
tion" with Austria-Hungary. It is
pointed out that Ambassadors from the
United States as well as from other
countries have often been recalled in the
past at the reuest of foreign govevrn
ments without the straining of diplomatic
relations.
Henry U. Edmunds, president of the
Board of Education and a well known
authority on such questions, said today:
'It 1b right that tho Austrian Ambas
sador be given his passports and sent
home, but I don't see why we should
expect the incident to develop furtfler.
There Is no reason to expect strained re
lations." Exonerated From Blame for Death
A verdict of accidental death was ren
dered by the Coroner's Jury today In the
case of Henry P. Feister, 51 years old, of
tllh WIssahickon avenue, who was struck
by an automobile on South Penn Square
and died In the Hahnemann Hospital
from tho Injuries received. The machine
was owned by Joseph W. Mills nnd
driven by George G. Hullck. both of Eliz
abeth, N. J., who, with their wives, were
here on a sightseeing trip. Witnesses
testified that Feister had passed the ma
chine, but became frightened by an au
tomobile horn and stepped back In front
of it.

U. S. EXPECTS AUSTRIA
TO RECALL DVMBA
Continued from fate One
him a safe conduct from the Allies
to
his native country.
Diplomatically, there was no reason,
raid tho authorities, why Austria shojld
take the Dumba request as anything but
a personal objection to the Ambassador
hlmrelt or refuse to continue friendly re
lations. In view of pruaent strained In
ternational relations, however, It was
feareJ there would be no euch cool-headed
altitude nt Vienna. Especially was a
break deemed a possibility If It proved
that the Austrian envoy's activities were
not personal, but were engaged In under
his Government's orders.
GERMAN ATTACHE INVOLVED.
In view of Austro-Hunaarv's close re
lations with Germany many ofllclals be
lieved a break with one would mean a
break with both.
Aside from tho German-Austrian link
tho von Pnpan matter possessed poten
tialities of trouble It was hoped Am
bassador nernstorff would explain his
subordinate's conduct satisfactorily, but
this was hoped also In Dumba's case and
the hope was disappointed.
Assuming that It was decided von,
Papen, tho German military attache, too,
must be eliminated, It was believed ft
hint to that effect would be conveyed to
Hernslorff. The possibility wns seen,
howeVer, thnt nernstorff would not act
on it. In which event It wns Intlmtted he
mleht become persona non gtatt him
self. I'nless Austria wishes to provoke a
more serious dispute with tho United
Slates than tho mere personality of Its
Ambassador, It was conceded thnt Vienna
would direct his return home.
Opinion today as to the likeliest upshot
of the matter wns that Austria will recall
Dumba, but not Immediately appoint his
successor. Thl would leave the coun
selor of the Austrian Embassy, Haron
Erich Ewlcdlnok, In charge.
FURORE AMONG DIPLOMATS.
The news of the Administration's re
quest regarding Dumba created a furore
In diplomatic circles.
If Austria supports Dumba by Insisting
that It was not only his right but flta
duty to warn Austrian subjects ngalnst
continuing work In American war-supply
plants, n crisis will be reached. In such
a case, diplomatic negotiations, thresh
ing out the old dispute with Austria over
the "dual citizenship" question, or sum
mary severance of relations between the
two countries would result.
Officials here bollcvc, however, thnt the
Vienna office did not Initiate the plan to
cripple American factories and did not,
in advance, npprove Dumba's use of
Archibald ns a messenger.
The request of the Vienna Foreign Of
fice for Dumba's retirement In addition
to declaring him persona non grata paves
the way for discussing with Austria the
rcnl dispute Involved Austria's right to
prohibit K-r subjects In this country from
certain lines of employment.
DUMBA AND BERNST0RFF
IN SECRET CONFERENCE
NEW YORK. Sept. 10. Count Johnnn
Von Bcmstorff, the German Ambassador,
and Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, Am
bassador from Austria-Hungary, whose
recall has been demanded by the United
States, held a secret conference this
afternoon.
During tho morning the Austrian envoy
remained hlddon In his hotel, but shortly
after 12:30 o'clock. Count Von nernstorff
slipped Into the hotel through an under
ground passage connecting the hostelry
with the private house adjoining.
Tho German Ambassador hurried to
Doctor Dumba's quarters. Newspaper
men attempted to follow, but were
brushed aside by two detectives, who
kept close watch while the conference
was In progress,
.The German Ambassador caljed In re
sponse to a summons from Dumba after
the latter had received an Important dis
patch from Vienna. It was reported that
this had to do with the American note
demanding tho envoy's recall, one rumor
being that Doctor Dumba had been In
structed to leave tho United States and
had sought a conference with Ambassa
dor Bernstorff to arrange his personal
affairs.
Count von Hohenlohe. an attache of the
Austrian Embassy, was the man who
carried tho Dumba summons to von
Bernstorff. Within a few minutes after
he reached von Bernstorft'a hotel tho two
Jumped Into a taxicab and were whirled
away.
Taxlcabs carrying newspaper men hur
ried In pursuit, reaching the hotel at
the same time as the Teuton diplomats.
The latter avoided the main entrance,
and hurried through the private house
next door. None was allowed to follow
them,

ns follows,
"Tho object of the mission Is to con
sult with American bankers and others
as to the best means to be ndoptcd for
the regulation of exchange between Now
York, London and Tarls, In order that
the commerce and industries of these

nlblo during tho courso of tho war. Mr.
Btackett will act aa secretary, and will
give out formal statements each day con
cerning the conferences."
The commissioners were accompanied

the Hotel Biltmore. No conferences will
be held during the day, but tonight tho
foreign bankers will meet most of tho
leading bankers of Now York In Mr.
Morgnn's famous library.
Safety from submarines wns assured
