Asquith said he is a matter which can be dealt with conveniently by Way of a depth question of defence against Airship raids was brought up in Tho House of commons an attempt being on Tho face of the evidence thus far at hand Tho government la satisfied that the hesperian was not sunk by u German submarine. The German position As sell of Al Olally stated follows As to Ore informed from a Corn potent source Tho news already received taken in connection with facts officially known deems to exclude Al most absolutely the possibility that a German submarine could under any Circum stances have been concerned in sinking the British passenger Steamer hesperian. Firstly according to Tho Prear ranged distribution no German sub Marine should have been on septem Ber in the part of the Ocean in which the hesperian Sank. Furthermore Tho explosion according to descriptions received from British sources was of such a nature As to indicate from its off ctn that it was rather of a mine than of a Tor Pedo.

For a favourable adjustment of the controversies Between the United states and Germany depend entirely on Iho attitude which the Berlin for eign off co will take toward Tho re commendations made today by count von Bernstorff the Gennan Ambas Sador following Hla conference yesterday with Secretary Lansing. Details of. The conference became Nown today throwing Light on the critical Point that Hud been reached n Tho relations Between Tho two countries. The Washington govern not was almost ready to sever diplomatic relations but decided to delay taking any atop until Germany could be furnished the evidence in to Possession on Tho arabic Case. Friendliness and Candor Are under stood to have characterized Tho conversation Between or. Lansing and Jie ambassador. Tho latter now has Jeun riven an Opportunity to com null Cate freely with his govern ment it May be clearly under stood in Berlin Why officials hero Are convinced that Tho Torp doing a Tho arabic could not have been a mistake justified or unjustified. Will not arbitrate principle. In View of the evidence the United states wants a disavowal of Tho act and this was made Clear to count von Bernstorff. Arbitration cannot be an Issue far consideration until the attitude of Tho German Ito in in t toward Tho act itself in pm Coj on record. Later the american government May take under con old oration n proposal to arbitrate not Tho principle but what indemnity should to paid for lives lost. The evidence which has been submitted by the United states is regarded hero As proving conclusively that until she submerged to launch Tho torpedo again St the ambit the Gorman submarine waa conceal be Hind the so Nikiti Bill Tosh Sto Arturr Dunloy and could not have been seen by the Captain of the arabic. Furthermore. It is shown that Tho Arab i was struck in such a Way that the submarine must have been at Olgh angles from her when Tho torpedo was fired. Instead of in a position to Maka ramming by Tho liner a posse Billy. Ambassador von Bernstorff is understood to Honvo scrutinized Thi evidence carefully and to have mad certain suggestions to his for Olga office. It probably will to ten Day before a reply can be received. Situation. Heretofore the commission has Mot and conferred with Only such Bankers As Are pro ally in their sympathies and connections. Homo of Tho largest financial institutions in the United states including Tho big banking House of Kuhn. Loeb and company which is second in new York Only to j. P. Morgan and company have thus far been excluded by this policy. Apparently it had been taken for granted that it would to useless to ask financiers with German sympathies o participate. Such a policy How Over was disavowed late today by Ila Sll b. Blackett Secretary of Tho commission. Ill.

Hill discus cd the loan with or. Schiff. Though neither would state after Tho meeting the subject of the discussion. From another source it was reported that Kuhn Loeb and company would not look unkindly on an invitation in this instance to join hands with the firm of Morgan and. Company and participate in the loan. A report cutly the reverse of this however also gained circulation. It was impossible to verify either. By a financier regarded As a Leader among the half dozen or so really big pro German banking houses of new York Thuro was voiced this opinion is no doubt in my mind that Many banking houses with teutonic affiliations might be induced to take part in this undertaking floating the credit loan if asked not because it would be helpful to the allies but be cause it is essential to Tho Nln talk once of Tho Commerce and industries of the United primarily americans. Somo pro German Bankers High in the Money councils of Avail Street feel keenly Tho failure of their firms to receive invitations to meet the members of Tho commission. These Bankers Point out that they Oro primarily americans notwithstanding what their sympathies Are in Tho european conflict that their inter ests and the welfare of the United states Aro identical and that if they have to choose Between a continuance Sant Anna s Gall for help carried 900 Miles Ottawa.

This is considered a remarkable achievement in wireless Worl and was due in part to particularly favourable weather conditions. This summer extensive improvements were made at Cape race two Tow ers 250 feel High being reeled and the Aerial increased with the object not Only of increasing the Range to vessels in the Canadian route going to creat Britain but also to reach ves Sels plying Between new Yore and Liverpool. It is evident that the new apparatus is wording most satisfactorily Chough the ability to receive Calls Over 900 Miles was probably due to exception ally favourable atmospheric conditions.
