o KAISER PROMISES | FULL SATISFAGTION This Phrase is Used by Count Von| Bernstorff During Interview with Lansing. NOTABLE VICTORY, SAYS LONDON | WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Count Non Bernstorff, the German ambas-| sador, acting on instructions from Berlin, notified Secretary Lansing to-| Hay that “‘full satisfaction” would be | given to the United States for the| sinking of the White Star liner Ara- ble. The ambassador explained that Germany would make motre than a mwere disavowal if it is found the Ara- Iic was sunk without warning | Count Von Bernstorff called at the State department early and conferred with Secretary Lansing nearly balf in hour. It had been suggested that perhaps Germany was ready also to make reparation for the Americans lost on the Lusitania, but that sub-| ject did not come up at today’s con-| ference. The disposition of the Ger- man embassy is to take up one step at a time. Sense of Inatructions. The ambassador did not make public ihe extent of instrcutions from Berlin on which he acted, but it was understood they coincided entirely with the state- ment of the German chancellor in Asso- lated Press dispatches from Berlin ves rday, expressing the willingness of the | tlerman government (o make fullest | yeparation if it is shown finally that the Arable was torpedoed without warning. S0 far the German admiraity has re- ived no report from Its submarines which were operating in the Arablic's Nicinity. Further communications now are p'xpected from Berlin to the German am- ‘hassador to the State department | from Ambassador Gerard, which will ad- | Vance the negotiations to a point where ttacks on passenger-carrying ships will definitely discontinued, at least while the subject is under further discussion. The crisis between the two countries now 's ragarded as having passed into the fealm of diplomacy. Means More Than Disavowal, The German ambassador frankly stated after his Interview with Mr. Lansing| that his instructions embodied the dec-| laration by the Beriin government that it would give full satistaction to the American government. That, he de- clared, meant much more than a dis- avowal. Of course, he sald, the giving of satisfaction would depend upon the circumstances of the attack on the Ara- ble. The German government did not yet know, he sald, whether the Arablc ‘s dispatch agrees with Count Von Bernstorff's advices, that submarine commanders have been instructed to at- tack no peaceful merchant ships without warning. The American government, neverthe Jess, will press for a clearing up of th Notable Viertory, Says London. LONDON, Aug. 27.—Cable dispatches reporting the statement yesterday of | i z E '.
