AS June peered out OF her dressing al

paused in a vigorous argument. This
woman wanted money. and the man
would not give it. Then June was called

She had displayed perhaps half dozen
gowns when the middle-aged man and
woman obstructed her passageWay as she
came out Of the alcove. They were still
in an energetic dispute about the money.
A hundred dollars the woman wanted,

RECEIVED FROM GERMANY
THROUGH Won BERNSTORFF
FIRST RAY OF PROMISE
Asks Government Not to Take Final
Stand Until All Facts In Case
Are KnOwn-Clearing Up of
Several Things Needed.

Washington, D. c., August "a
Germany, through her ambassador
Count Won Bernstorff, today asked
the United States not to take a fina
stand on the sinking of the White
Star liner Arabic until all the facts
were known. 1t was the first wore
from Germany since. the disaster.
The ambassador telegraphed the
state department saying he made the
request at the instructions of his
government and added that the Ger
man admiralty had not been able tc
get report on the sinking.
The ambassadors telegram was moi
made public here.
His request indicates that the Ger.
man government may have some
facts, which, in its opinion, justify the
action of the submarine commander
1t comes as the first ray of promise
on situation which admittedly was
growing darker.
In view of the ambassadors re-
quest the state department can dc
nothing but wait a reasonable time
for word from Berlin. Ambassador
Gerard has been instructed to watch
for report, but has not been told
to ask for one. The German ambas-
sador's request today indicates that
one soon may be volunteered.
Meanwhile the state department is
gathering evidence from all other
sources. When some word is receiv-
ed from Germany the governments
position will be decided.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-One
overnight cablegram from Ambassa-
dor Page contained some additional
information regarding the Arabic,
but officials said the evidence so far
collected was still so fragmentary in
character that further advices must
be awaited before the government
could determine it's attitude.
In answer to an inquiry as to how
long it would take to get the infor-
nation, one high official said that it
might be two or three days. Though
precise in its declarations that the
Arabic was unarmed, that she did
not attempt to escape, that she was
not warned an dthat she did not at
tempt to ram the submarine, the
British admiralty statement, which
probably will be accepted as evidence
unless rebutted by German testimony
leaves unmentioned the possibility of
a genuine misunderstanding OF the
German submarine commander of
the Arabic's turn to port just before
the fatal explosion.
