failed thus far to bring the United States and Germany near an early settlement of the issues which grew out of the sinking of the Lusitania with a loss of more than 100 American lives It was said yesterday by persons in a position to know that the points of view of the two governments still were widely different In German circles the belief was expressed that a satisfactory agreement could not be reached without arbitration Officials of the State Department were more optimistic however the opinion seeming to prevail that ultimately Germany would come into the American way of viewing the situation No Offer of Indemnity Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff have an agreement not to talk about the subject of their last conference It Is taken for granted in official circles however that the Lusitania case was one of the matters discussed It is stated on authority that no offer has been made to indemnify the families of Americans lost in the disaster It had been reported that the German government offered to pay an indemnity of 5000 for each life lost but it is stated that neither this figure nor any other had been named in the conferences The German government is said to take the position that to agree to pay an indemnity would be an admission of wrongdoing and that while in a humanitarian sense it deepiy regrets the loss of any American lives the Lusitania was torpedoed in reprisal for the establishment of the British blockade order vhich the United States itself holds to be illegal Germany Favors Arbitration Germany however is willing and anxious to take the whole matter of indemnity to The Hague for arbitration even though it is known that high German officials believe the award would be in favor of the United States regarding the structure of the tribunal as one likely to favor the neutrals As for future assurances regarding the safety of American citizens traveling at sea it is considered by Germany that the assurances given in the settlement of the Arabic incident fully cover the situation American Position The point of view of the United States government is according to the outline given yesterday and stated previously that the German government must disavow the sinking of the Lusi tania and indemnify the families of American citizens lost in the disaster The United States is adverse to taking the Question of indemnity to The Hague While the conferences thus far were said to have been unfavorable to a prompt settlement officials of the State Department are reported to be hopeful of the results of conferences yet to come London Nov 23 So far as the western front ia concerned Germany is beaten said John Redmond leader of the Irish nationalist party Just re turned from a visit to the army in France addressing a recruiting meeting today Every day ever hour she is getting weaker For every shell she throws at us we throw five There are no pessimists among our men fighting there From the commander-in-chief down through all the ranks of the army there Is a feeling of absolute confidence as to the results of the war Mr Redmond visited the Belgian lines and saw King Albert I told him said the Irish leader Ithat Ireland was aejermined to stand by the independenca of BelgJunu at any cost Comeweal or ivoe Ireland would have no peace that does not bring about the rehabilitation of Belr glum Mr Redmond concluded with a message from the Irish troops at the front to their fellow countrymen They ask me to say they feel that every man of them in this war is flglit ingj not merely for liberty and right but for the prosperity of their beloved Ireland as well They ask Ireland to stand by them I say to the Irish people that they will be disgraced forever in history If they fail to send out reserves to rer pMenish

Sent Britain Prospects of settling out of court all of the cases of American meat packers involving cargoes valued at from 15 000000 to 20000000 pending before British prize courts were discussed yesterday at a conference participated in by British embassy officials Counselor Polk of the State Department and representatives of the packers There was no announcement concerning results of the conference but it was said later that It was entirely possible Great Britain might look with favor upon a private and direct disposition of these cases Such a step would eliminate the necessity for special representations which the packers have urged the State Department to make in their behalf in addition to the note recently dispatched dealing with the general subject of interferences with neutral trade Only yesterday it was learned that the packers had supplied the department with information upon which to base special representations and it was stated that unless plans were changed a new note would be prepared Four cases involving cargoes of meat shipped trom the United States to neutral European countries already have been decided against the packers by the prize courts and appeals to the privy council are pending About 40 others are awaiting trial Chandler Anderson formerly special counsel for the State Department and Lloyd Griscom of New York took part in yesterdays

battle between the French and Bulgarians In the gorge of the Rajec River a confluent of the Cerna southeastern Serbia has resulted thus far In the retirement of the French from a point north of Drenovo to the right bank of the Cerna The French however are still holding the Rajec gorge and the important bridgehead at Bojharsti controlling the heights opposite Gradlsce The Associated Press correspondent today visited the French post west of the Rajec bridgehead which is detailed to guard the strong natural position In the gnanite walled gorge This gorge however is exposed to artillery fire from the surrounding heights Through It runs a narrow rapid stream held by infantry Battle Seen From Hills Half an hour later the correspondent with a party of French officers watched the battle from the neighboring hills Every detail was visible except during occasional periods of the lowering of mist from the hilltops Hostilities were opened with a savage artillery duel From the point of observation flashes of flames puffs of smoke could be seen revealing the positions of guns on both sides of the Vardar River which is joined by the Cernfk a few miles north of Drenovo Clouds of smoke from the bursting shells gave some idea of the result of the fire which the Bulgarians concentrated in an effort to dislodge the French from the Rajec gorge Soon the whirr of machine guns and the popping of rifle fire betrayed the position of the Bulgarian Infantry On the hill behind the gorge moving figures could be seen outlined against the sky They climbed with what seemed to be interminable slowness until after a brief struggle with the bayonet the Bulgarians fled disappearing over the crest Ambulance Train Moves Up Meanwhile from the direction of Kavadar a train of ambulances sped toward the scener of the battle to collect French wounded Gen followed in an automobile to take direction of the action on the ground The Bulgarians are bringing up heavy orcea from the neighborhood of Prllep The French plan of campaign seems to have been to occupy as quickly as possible the maximum number of positions of natural strength and to take care of their communications as effectively as could be done with the forces available When one position is made the object of a serious attack the French withdraw as the complete lack of effective means of transportation renders the rapid shifting pf troops Impracticable French Fight With Skill A striking feature of the campaign in Serbia is its utter unlikeness to that In France Trenqhes are constructed for only temporary use in actual battle The broken country facilitates the em ployment of tactical skill in which the French seem to be superior to the Bui garians notwithstanding their lack of familiarity with the country A rtilloTirnn 1m 1sA Imm Iaa ninuciiHCU klltj All OL i lllli OlllVC the beginning of the war often have the opportunity of actually seeing the mark whereat they are aiming The famous French 3

will undertake to establish equitable Industrial and trade relations between the United States and European and South American counrles In carrying out this idea many ramifications will result The corporation will not only do a banking business but will finance and in some instances superintend the construction and operation of large necessary enterprises which will tend to develop the resources of foreign countries Vanderlip Gives Views Frank A Vanderlip president of the National City Bank of New York who has been active in organizing the new corporation said The corporation must not be regarded as a mere money making enterprise It will stand for the development of America along international lines For this reason every effort has been made to affiliate with the corporation the largest corporation and banking powers of the country One great drawback to the extension pf direct trade relations outside of this country has been the difficulty of supporting our efforts with adequate financial means This is one of the things the new corporation expects to do The Federal authorities it is understood have been fully informed of the scope of the corporation and have giVen their hearty approval Special to The Washington Post New York Nov 23 Billings was the central figure at the Faslg Tlpton Companys horse sale at Madison Square garden today He sold 22 young trotters
