London, October 5. Whether by delay iri telegraphic communication or by some other unexplained cause Bulgaria obtained an additional 24 hours in which to decide her course. The time limit of the Russian ulti matum, demanding that King Ferdi nand break with the Central Powers, did not expire yesterday afternoon, as had been reported," and the Bulgarian government had the opportunity of delaying its decision until mid-afternoon today. The Petrograd dispatches giving this explanation reached London this afternoon too late for comment in the first editions of the newspapers.

An ex plosion, followed by a fire, took place today on the torpedo destroyer, Cum- mInC8' while she was engaged in war noon in the forward compartment of the Cummings and two men were badly burned by oil flames.

Embassy De clares Case is Well On Way to an Amicable Adjustment. Washington, October 5. Count yon Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,). came to Washington today from New York to confer over the Arabic case. The Ambassador, who has been em powered by the Berlin foreign office to conduct final negotiations in the entire submarine controversy between Germany and the United States has presented a memorandum, which al though meeting the view of the United States in a large degree does not go far enough to satisfy the contention of the State Department. Germany, it is understood, although .conceding that the submarine com mander erred when he sunk the Ar &bic,(n the' theory that the liner was about to attack the submarine, does not disavow? the act,' - President; Wil- eon ana- secretary Lansing reel tnat a disavowal must be forthcoming' be fore negotiations can proceed further. Count von Bernstorff gave Secretary Lansing oral assurances with respect to the case of the Arabic that pointed to a settlement, according to informa tion given out. after their conference. The Ambassador left no memorandum or document with Secretary Lansing, other than what he presented to him in New York yesterday. Until a docu- rment in changed form is received andj : 8iamu u 7uais I " 1 " u wuetutji iu Arauic cast; cuuiu u considered on the road to adjustment. From the German embassy came the information that the American view point had been satisfactorily met and that the entire submarine issue was in process of amicable settlement. It was pointed out that admission of the sinking of the Arabic has been given through acceptance by Ger many of the evidence submitted by the United States, tending to prove j tnai me- uerman commanaer errea wnen ae mougm me vessel was trying to . sink his submarine. The admis sion otthe mistake was conveyed last Saturday but this government's con struction of it was that acknowledge ment of error was valueless unless accompanied by reparation or as sumption -of liability. On that point no word could be obtained from the German embassy or the State Depart: ment. Until the German intention with re spect tp liability is made clear, how ever, officials are- Hot inclined to be too optimistic, though admitting that the German ambassador's conversa tion indicated a favorable adjustment. Later Secretary Lansing went . to 'the White House to report to Presi dent Wilson, his conversation with Ambassador Bernstorff. The ambas sador later in. the day sent the com munication, submitted last Saturday, changed to. conform to the wishes of the United States, to the State De partment. Secretary Lansing took it the White House and after talking with the President said he hoped to be able to make an announcement shortly.

For High j London, October 5,-The 'question wood pulp.jan;, efficient substitute for cotton in ttie manufacture ' of high ex plosives has been investigated T)y the "Paper , Maker" which has consulted several experts, Sir William Ramsay says: "I quite agree that it is highly probable that the Germans are making nitro-llgnose from wood fibre. .This is the tragedy of our always being too late. I quite agree that we should declare wood pulp contraband but I hesitate to start another campaign; it takes so much time and energy. "The Germans have plenty of wood; their country is largely afforested. As to the relative efficacy of wood pulp and cotton I am not expert enough to answer that. All I can say is that I am told by French experts that the ballistic power of nitro-lignose is not equal to that of gun cotton. But KrUpp is turning out any number of guns of all sorts, and doubtless they are standardized, as regards sights and chambers, for nitro-lignose." Another expert, Walter F.
