GERMANY REFUSES TO ADMIT
ANY OBLIGATION FOR LOSS

Berlin Ready to Refer Matter Of
PREPARATION to Hague, A We'll
AZ Right Of Commander to
Fire Torpedo.

Washington, Sept. 10.-A note from
Germany regarding the sinking of the
Liner Arabic reached the State de-
partment by cable through Ambassa-
dor Gerard soon after the arrival Of
mail report from Ambassador Page
at London, enclosing afidavits of the
Arabic's survivors.
With all available information con-
corning the case at hand, President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing are
now in position to consider the
course to be pursued by the United
States.
In connection with the German ex-
PLANTATION they will give consideration
to the assurances given since the Ara
bic incident that German submarine
commanders are under instructions to
destroy no more liners without warn
ing.
The sufficiency Of the German ex-
cuse for attacking the Arabic is be-
lieved to hinge in some degree upon
the movements of the liner just before
the explosion.
Refuses to Pay Indemnity.
Outside of narrow official circle
1t was not known in Washington until
the press received the text of the
memorandum from Berlin, that Ger
many had refused to admit any obi
cation to pay indemnity for the loss
OF Americans with the Arabic, even
If it should prove that the submarine
commander was mistaken in believing
that the liner intended to attack him.
Secretary Lansing, during the day, re-
ferred to the communication only in
the most general way and indicated
there would be no comemnt until the
matter had been given the most care
full consideration.
New Question Arises.
Press dispatches from Berlin, re-
Gently, saying Germany would offer to
refer the matter of reparation to The
Hague, were followed by intimations
from high officials that such a pro-
posal would be acceptable. At that
time, however, there had been no sug-
gestion of proposal to arbitrate the
question Of the right of the submarine
commander to launch a torpedo at a
passenger carrying vessel under the
circumstances of this case.

WASHINGTON is SURPRISED,
Officials Regard Torpedoing of Liner,
Hesperian as Uncomfortable After
Assurances Given by Germany.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Omcial Wash
ington received news of the torpedo
ing of the Allan liner Hesperian by
German submarine with surprise,
though there was none of the grave
anxiety that followed the sinking of
the Arabic. 1t was learned that high
officials regarded it as inconceivable
that, after the assurances given by the
German government last week a Ger
man submarine commander had with
out warning launched a torpedo at a
peaceful passenger vessel.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing heard of the incident first
through press dispatches.
Some significance was attached to
Consul Frost's statement from Queens
town that the Hesperian carried on
her stern 4.7-inch rifle. While inter-
national law permits merchantmen to
have guns of small calibre for defen-
sive purposes mounted aft, it was
pointed out that if the Allan liner act
ed at all suspiciously after being ap-
preached, the presence of this gun
probably would figure prominently in
the submarine commanders explana-
ton of the torpedoing.

AWAITS COMPLETE REPORTS RE.
GARDiNG SINKING OF LINER.
Officials Not Disposed to Question
Good Faith Of Germany Re-
gardinq Attacks.

washington, Sept. 8.-Nothing in
late adv1ces regarding the sinking Of
the Allan liner Hesperian served to
change the waiting attitude of the
American government. Judgment ie
suspended pending complete informa-
ton and in spite of the statement
of the Hesperian's csptain that his
ship was the victim of a torpedo and
had no warning, high officials here are
not disposed to question the good
faith Of recent unqualified assurance
from the German government that her
submarine commanders had been or
dered to attack no more liners with
out warning.
Consul Frost cabled from Queens
town that the ship carried on her
stern 4.7-inch gun went unamended
although the Allan line officials have
declared that she had no gun when
she left Montreal.

Hit BY Torpedo, Says Crew.
The sinking of the Hesperian in
deep water probably will prevent an
investigation to determine whether
the disaster resulted from sub
marines torpedo or from mine. Pas.
sengers and crew assert positively
that the vessel was struck by tor.
pedo, but thus far no statement had
been obtained from any one who saw
a submarine or a torpedo.
The American embassy is receiving
reports from Wesley Frost, American
consul at Queenstown, on the question
whether warning was given to the
liner.
No Warning Given, Claim.
Persons so far seen by Mr.. Frost
state that no warning was given.
The consul has been unable to learn
of more than two Americans who
were on the Hesperian, both members
of the crew, and both reported to
have been saved.
Press dispatches report the death
of Miss Carberry, who is said to
have been hurled from one of the
boats and to have died from the shock
and of another woman who was bad
ly injured and died in one of the res
cue steamers while enroute to Queens.
town.
The injured number about thirty.
For the most part they were passen-
gers in two of the boats which capsiz-
in the darkness before they struck
the water Queenstown dispatches
said no Americans were injured.
The Hesperian remained afloat vir-
tually "a hours after being struck,
and it was hoped she could be towed
into Queenstown. Several steamers
were standing by.
Wireless reports state that Captain
Main and the 20 members of the crew
of the Hesperian who remained
aboard were taken off before the.
steamer foundered.

many's note. to the. United States bear.
ing on the sinking Of the White star line
steamer Arabic on Aug. 10, which was
communicated to the American am
bassador, James Gerard, for transmits.
sion to Washington, is in the form of 4
memorandum, the text of which fol-
lows:
ION Aug. 10 a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about 16 nautical miles south of Kins-
ale and was on the point of sinking
the prize by guntire after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw a large steamer
making directly toward him. This
steamer, as developed later was the.
Arabic: She was recognized as an enc
my vessel, as she did not fly any flag
and bore no neutral markings.
Comes Directly Toward U-Boat.
when she approached, she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly towards the subma-
rine. From this the commander be-
came convinced that the steamer had
the intention of attacking and ram
ming him.
In order to anticipate this attack:
he gave orders for the submarine to
dive and fired torpedo at the steam
er. After firing he convinced himself
that the people on board were being;
rescued in fifteen boats.
According to his instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
out saving the lives unless the ship
attempted to escape or offered resis-
lance. He was forced, however, to
conclude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned a
violent attack on the submarine
This conclusion is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fired upon at a
great distance in the Irish sea on Aug
ust 14-that is a few days before-by
a large passenger steamer apparently
belonging to the British Royal Mail
Steam Packet company, which he had
neither attacked nor stopped.
Regrets Death of Americans.
THE German government most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the commander.
1t particularly expresses this regret to
the government of the United States
on account of the death of American
citizens.
The German government is unable.
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
ton to grant indemnity in the matter.
even if the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tentions of the Arabic.
If it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach
harmonious opinion on this point
the German government would be pre-
pared to submit the difference of o.
1nion, as being question of interna-
tlonal law, to The Hague tribunal of
arbitration, pursuant to Article SO of
Inc Hague convention for the pacific
settlement Of international disputes.
In so doing, it assumes that as a
matter of course, the arbitral decision
snail not be admitted to have the i'm
portance of general discussion on
the permissibility or the converse, un-
der international law, of German sub
marine warfare."
