SEEMS ARABC MATTER
WLL BE ELMNATED
AS SOURCEOF DISCORD
Statement of Chancellor lSelhniann-Hollweff Is ReRarded As Open
ing the Way to a Speedy Adjustment Germany Had
Adopted Hefore the Sinking of the Arabic a Policy
Designed to Settle Submarine Question.
.!
lierlin. Auk. -I. The Associated I'rcss states that the Arabic incident
may be considered as eliminated as a source of discord between Germany and
America, or at least regarded 1 y 1 he Germans in that linlit.
Moreover. Germany in its desire to continue its friendly relations with
the United States had adopted before the sinking of the Arabic a policy de
signed to settle the whole submarine question as affeefine the United States.
This Is shown clearly by the statement ,,r rhancellor llethmanlellollweg I
last night, particularly by his concluding remarks to the effect that not I
until all the circumstances as to the sinking of the Arabic were secured
would it be possible to say whether the commander went beyond his Instruc !
tions, in which case Germany would give complete satisfaction to the United J
States. Fort liermi ire iliirinfT tin. ,..h.,-.,.l...ii..,, ti... ,.1. ........ it. 1 1.. '

to the instructions given to submarine commanders, and it may be said they
are designed to prevent a repetition of the l.usitania case and to provide the
opportunity for escape of American nun combalants on torpedoed ships. Hav
ing given these instructions Germany asked suspension of judgment on the
Arabic- case, being confident it will he shown the attack was not altogether
unprovoked but attributable to a mine explosion or to some action of the
vessel itself.
Should it be developed that the submarine acted without authority full
reparation w ill be made by Germany.
Germany is still unable to understand why Americans in these troubled
times travel on belligerent ships instead of taking neutral ships, but as they
still insist on taking passage on belligerent ships Germany will do her utmost
to protect Americans so traveling.
Officials Feel Much Encouraged.
Washington, Aug. I'll. Count Hernstorffs visit to Secretary Lansing and
the advices from lierlin containing the chancellor's statement has put a much
better lace tin the whole situation. There was a noticeable relaxation at both
the White House ami the state department.
Olliclals feel much emouraged by the apparent desires of Germany to
avoid a break with the United States and Hie president will not finally decide
on his course until he has a definite statement on the German government's
intention.
It seems certain there will be diplomatic exchanges in the Arabic case.
In addition to satisfying this government in that instance it is expected they
will take on a general character covering submarine warfare and the rights of
neutrals on tho seas.
COBB IN TEN YEARS HAS
ESTABLISHED hECORD.
Detroit, Aug. 26. Ty Cobb to
day celebrated the tentii anni
versary of his debut ai a rrujor
league baseball player. Ni cer
emony was planned by the fjns
here, but it was expected Cobb
would receive an unusual dem
onstration and probably some,
thing more substantial fiom his
friends this afternoon when he
stepped to the plate in the Bos
ton series.
Cobb's path of fame which he
blazed for himself has never
been equalled in the history of
baseball. For eight seakons he
has been champion balcman of
the American League. It seems
almost a human impottioil ty for
any rival to wrest tne crown
from him this year. No batter
has ever made such a record.
On August 26, 19o5, a boy of
19 years, from the Augusta club
of a Class C league, Cobb don
