ARABIC NOTE IS UNSATISFACTORY of Germany Meets Only Part X Made by the United States. —_— SITUATION 13 §OT CRITICAL WASHINGTON, Oct, 4.—Although Germany’s new note on the Arabic case is not entirely satisfactory to the United States, the situation is not considered critical at this time. This was stated today on high offi- clal authority. The view held by President Wilson ; and State department officials on the note, handed to Secretary Lansing in' New York Saturday by Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, that {s was not specific enough on the points insisted on by the president. These are a disavowal of the sinking, assurances that the act would not be repeated and proper reparation. Further Negotintions Possible. Careful reading of the note delivered by the German ambassador has con- vinced administration officlals that further. negotiations on the question are | possible and that there is still reason to hope that.Germany will in the end accede to the wishes of tne United States. The note Will not be answered formally immediately, but Secretary Lansing, at a conference with the German ambassador, will inform him of the point the United States wants cleared up. After the con- ference the ambassador is expected to communicate again to his government the views of the United States, Germanv's vosition now, however, mpre nearly approaches the stand of the United States than it d d in the previous note on the same question.
