The note pre sented by Ambassador Dumba to- Sec retary Lansing Saturday on the sink ing of the Arabic is unsatisfactory to the United States, because of Ger many's failure to disavow the act. Negotiations will be continued with the ambassador with the view of try ing to get Germany to disavow the act. Although officials declined to dis cuss the matter, it became known to day that Count von Bernstorff would be requested to come to Washington, when he would be acquainted with the American position. A rupture of diplomatic relations is regarded as unlikely. This hope is cased on un official advices that Germany is anx ious for a settlement. The note will not be answered for mally until Secretary Lansing has a conference with the ambassador of Germany At the next conference the German ambassador will present the American views to his govern ment. It -is understood the note gives as surance of protection to Americans traveling on unarmed ships, and is nearer the position of the United States than any of the other notes. Birthday Dinner.

Along with the rise in the price of nearly everything (By Associated Press.) London, Oct. 4. The question whether the Germans are finding wood pulp an efficient substitute for cotton in the manufacture of high explosives has been investigated by the "Paper Maker" which has consulted many ex perts. Sir Walter Ramsay says: "I quite agree that it is highly probable that the Germans are making nitro-lignose from wood fibre. This is the tragedy of our always being too late. I quite agree that we should declare wood contraband but I hesitate to start another campaign; it takes so much time and energy. "The Germans have plenty of wood ; their county is largely forested. As to the relative efficacy of wood pulp and cotton I am not expert enough to answer that.
