Secretary Lansing Says Text of German Communication
Will Probably Be Made Public Tomorrow Explanation
May Be Accepted If Intention To Warn Passenber Ves
sels In Future Is Reassert ed Hesperian Case Is Now
Deemed More Important By State Department
GERMAN NOTE ON
Washington, Sept. 9. The Gorman note on tho Arabic torpedoing
reached the state department this afternoon.
Secretary Lansing announced that the note contended the Arnbic
changed Ha course, and that this caused the torpedoing. He claimed
he had not read it carefully enough to know whether or not it offered
reparation for loss of American lives.-
The complete text will probably be made public tomorrow.
The contention of change of course was as Berlin messages had said
it would be. This alleged veering was interpreted by tho commander
of the submarine as meaning that the vessel intended to ram him.
By C. P. Stewart.
(United Tress Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. 9. Germany's note
ou the torpedoing at the liner Arabic,
is expected today by the state depart
ment. The administration already has a tol
erably clear idea of its contents. Dis
patches from Staff Correspondent Carl
W, Ackermau of the United Press gave
tikis when they indicated that Germany,
basing its contention on the German
submarine Commander's report, will
plead that the torpedoing resulted from !
the commander s belief that the Ara
bic's maneuvering indicated an intent
to ram the submarine.
High officials said the administration
will accept Germany's plea of "military
necessity" for destroying tho Arabic,
provided Germany re asserts her iuteu
tion to warn vessels, in tho future, be
fore sending them to the bottom.
Submission to The Hague tribunal of
the question of reparation for loss of
American lives is likewise approved by
authorities.
Ambassador A'on Bernstorff is ex
pected to confer with Secretary Lansing
about the note before the end of the
week.
Meantime, the Hesperian case is as
suming increased importance. Like the
Arabic case it must be disposed of be-,
fore the original Lusitanin negotiations!
nan be closed. The state department
continued to maintain today that it is
still unproved that the Hesperian was,
a torpedo victim. Indications pointed
to a belief that some further light on
t lie case will come through the British
.'government, in the form of a note giv
ing details of the incident, from the
Knglish standpoint.
The reported death of Seaman Wolff
in the Hesperian explosion is still uncon
firmed, as far as state department ad
vices go.
The Rumba incident is held in aboy-im-e,
and the nmbassador has returned
to, his Lenox, Mass., summer quarters,
pending judgment on action in trying

AMERICANS AT OWN BISK.
By Charles P. Stewart.
Washington, Sept. 9. Americans in
London are there at their own risk. If
any perished, or were wounded, in last
night's Zeppelin raid, there is nothing

the American government can do about
it.
Such was the unofficial view hore to
day concerning United Press dispatches,
indicating that the raid pierced the
center of the city, and reached the
vicinity of Trafalgar Square where
many Americans dwell.
London is undoubtedly a fortified
citv, officials said. Hence, under in
ternational law an attack against it was
justified, and in such an occurrence,
foreigners necessarily took their own
chances.
The raid on London last night may
explain the delay of the Arabic note,
which was given to Ambassador Ger
ard Tuesday night. It was consider
ed likely that the tiehtcning of the
censorship, following the raid, had de
laved even diplomatic communications,
though probably not for long.
Strength of Market
' Is Noticeable Feature
(Copyright 1915 by the New
York
Evening Post.)
New York, Sept. 9. It is not un
likely that tho underlying cause of
strength of the stock market today was
that international exchange may be re-
stored to a reasonable footing when
the London financial commission, which
arrives tonight, confers tomorrow with
New York bankers,
It is true that the dnmaging effects
on our own markets from the collapse
of London exchnnge has been foolishly
exaggerated. Nevertheless the situa
tion which was presented wheu sterling
reached $4."tl was so abnormal as to
inspire misgiving.
It is not imaginable that bankers
wil not agree to a rational remedy.
The Londoners are empowered to con
clude requisite arrangements for an ad
justment, and interests in the Amer
ican market are committed to the samo
result. ' "1
This was not, however, the explnna-
j tion for the rise in prices generally ex

Austrian Ambassador's Ten
ure of Office Will Depend
Upon Result
Washington, Sept. 9. Upon the state
department investigation now progress
ing, depends Austrian Ambassador
Dumba's tenure of office. There were
signs, too, today tlint the German em
bassy might become involved in the
manifest displeasure of the administra
tion against the known efforts of the
Austriau envoy to hult munition manu
fncture in America.
It was understood that the state de
partment sought, to determine the scope
of an alleged German plan similar to
the Austrian. This plan, revealed in
New York dispatches, included issuance
of newspaper advertisement warnings
to German subjects against continuing
work on allied war contract work, under
penalty of serious trouble from their
home government.
The plan, it is claimed, had the ap
proval of the German nmbassador. An
employment agency for Germans who
quit, was established in New York, and
there centered the activities of the Ger
man movement to check the war work.
Germany sometime ago issued a warn
ing neninst subjects making munitions
for the allies and the employment Bur
eau apparently was established soon
after.
No governmental cognizance, how
ever, was taken of the matter as far as
is known.
It was believed that President Wilson
mid Secretary Lansing have not yet de
cided what course to pursue toward
Dumbn. Official quarters, .however, ad
rnittod that the affair is serious, and
professed to believe that if Lansing
ntrnln sends for Rumba it will mean
that the decision is against tho envoy.
Rumba, who left last night ostensibly
for Lennox, Mass., was reported to be
in New York today. He had not yet
sent, the promised copy of the enclosure
mentioned in the letter to the Austrian
foreign minister, he tried to forward
to Austria by American Correspondent
Archibald.
Teddy the Bear, Attacks
Keeper in Portland "Zoo'
Portland, Or., Sept. 9. Attacked by
"Ted" the ferocious Alaskan bear in
Washington Park zoo, Charles Herr
mann, animal tender of the zoo, was
badly lncoratod today. He probably
would have been torn to pieces had it
not been for the prompt ac.tiou of
Joseph Prohasliii, his assistant.
In tho fi(5ht, Herrmann was knocked
to the wound and a deep bite inflicted
on bis leg and another on his arm. The
enraged animal had started to claw and
chew Herrmann's head when Prohaska
hit the bear over the head with a heavy
iron club and drove him off. He then
dragged Herrmann out of the cage.
Herrmann was taken to the emergency
hospitn.

Capital Wildly Celebrates
News and . Czar Goes To
Battle Front
Petrograd, Sept. 9. Austro-Germun
forces trying to oust the Russians from
Gulieia have been dotentod sharply be
fore Tnrnopol.
Two German divisions and an Aus
trian brigade, preparing to mako a
decisive attack, and reinforced witi
light and heavy artillery, were fore
stalled by Russian lorces and "com
pletely defeated," the official stnte
nient today said. The Teutonic losses
were 20U officers and 8,000 men cap
tured, many killed and wounded and
thirty guns, fourteen of them machine
guns and other booty rnlten.
The Austro-Germaiis, said the state
ment,, expected to make their coup
Tuesday night and V ednesday. Learn
ing of it, the Slavs took the offensive
along the river Roljonka und offered u
stubborn fight.
"At the end of the engagement,"
said the statement, "the enemy devel
oped ou artillery fire of most extra
ordinary intensity. Only the impos
sibility of replying with the same
weight or metiil prevented us from
further developing tho success we had
obtained."
The victory was acclaimed here by
great crowds. They cheered it as "in
omen of success for the little father"
the czar, who lias now taken charge
of the urmies.
Similar successes were recorded else
where with more than 2,00(1 prisoners
captured.
The Russian forces not only repulsed
the Germans at many points' but like
wise delivered successful counter nt
tacks. No German movements about
Riga were reported.
Violent righting Reported.
The fighting was violent at all points
despite the fact that the autumn ruins
are now sturling. and bid fuir soon to
hamper operations seriously. The Itus-
sums apparently are endeavoring to
halt the Germans decisively in their
efforts to control important railway
lines, before winter sets in.
"Tlio Russia as nrc now pushing the
retreating Teutons, and have re-occupied
positions along the Sereth.
The czar wired his felicitntlons upon
the Tnrnopol victory,
"On the Rign-Rwinn front, particu
larly in Grosseckeu and Neugent rail
way stations region," said the official
statement, "the enemy' ndvnnce was
