PAY FOR ARABIC
DEATHS REFUSED
Germany FIatIy Rejects Any In
demnity Claim.
REGRETS THE LOSS OF LIFE
Note to American Government says
Submarine Commander Was JUS
titled in Action by Fear
OF Attack.

Berlin via Amsterdam), Sept. -
| Germany In her note to the United
| States government on the sinking OF
the Arabic expresses regret for the
| loss of American lives, but states pos
| itively that no indemnity for such can
be granted.
The refusal to grant indemnity Is
absolute and will stand even If the
submarine commander should have
been mistaken as to aggressive inten-
lions on the part Of the Arabic.
Following is the text of the note.
made public tonight
On August 10 German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south or
Kinsale and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by guntire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw large
steamer, as developed later, the Ara
bic. She was recognized as an enemy
vessel, as she did not fly any flag and
bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became CON
WINGED that the steamer had the in
tention of attacking and ramming him
In order to anticipate this attack he
gave orders for the submarine to dive
and fred torpedo at the steamer
After firing he convinced himself that
the people on board were being res
cued in Is 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 at
tempted to escape or offered resist
ance He vas forced, however. to con-
clude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned vio-
lent 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 Au-
gust 14-that Is, few days before
by large passenger steamer, appar-
entity belonging to the British Royal
Mail Steam Packet company, which he
had neither attacked nor stopped.
The German government most deep
ly regrets that lives were lost through
the action of the commander. 1t par
ticularly expresses this regret to the
government of the United States on
account of the death OF American citi-
zens
The German government Is unable,
however. to acknowledge any obliga-
ton to grant indemnity in the matter.
even II 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 har-
monious opinion on this point, the Ger
man government would be prepared to
submit the difference of opinion, as be-
Ing a question Of international law, to
The Hague tribunal for arbitration,
pursuant to article 3S of The Hague
convention for the pacific settlement
OF international disputes
In so doing it assumes that as mat
ter OF course the arbitral decision shall
not be admitted to have the impor'
lance OF general decision on the per
instability or the converse Under in
ternational law, of German submarine
warfare.

DUTY RATE OF JEWELRY
RESET while ABROAD
Customs Division Gives Ruling on
Gems Taken to Other Coun-
tries and Repaired There.

The custom division of the Treasury
Department has recently set forth the
rule of procedure in regard to the pay
ment of duty on jewels taken abroad
and there reset and repaired. The word
ing of the rule, which is calculated
to be of interest to those contemplat-
ing future European trips, is as fol-
lows:
When ring, pin, bracelet, brooch
or other article of jewelry is taken
abroad and the stone or other setting
is replaced in the same kind of article
as that sent abroad, the identity of the
exported article is not destroyed. In
such case the article is entitled to ad-
mission upon the payment of duty on
the value of the repairs only, provided
that the value of said repairs be less
the returned article. If, however, the
value of these repairs equals or ex-
ceedS so per cent. the article should be
assessed with duty upon it's entire val
ue in the condition as imported"
A case in issue has been ruled upon
by the customs division. A diamond
pin reset abroad, and even the setting
changed for a new stone, inasmuch as
it is still diamond pin, is permitted
to come in on payment of duty based
on the cost of repairs. Another re-
ment upon the full value of a diamond
brooch taken abroad and brought back
in the shape of a bracelet.
1t was decided that this particular
piece had lost its identity as the article
taken abroad.

REJECTS NAVAL OFFICERS
BILL FOR HOUSE RENT
Controller Refuses to Allow Com
mutation for Quarters Vacated
During Repairs.

A claim of 1922 for Communication has
been disallowed Prof. Paul J. Dashiell.
professor of mathematics at the United
States Naval Academy, by George E.
Downey, controller of the Treasury.
Prof. Dashiell vacated his quarters in
the officers mess at Annapolis from
June 10 to September 80. pending re-
pairs to the mess building. upon the
advice of the instructor there.
"All the facts in this case indicate
that quarters were available and that
they were available" comments Con-
troller Downey.
1t was known to the claimant as
well as the paying Office, Controller
Downey indicates, that no payment Is
authorized in law when quarters are
available for occupancy. The prac-
tice of ordering quarters vacated dur
ing repairs, which Controller Downey
assails. he regards as a practice in
an 'in fact illegal payment, and one
that cannot be equitable invoked for
protection" and in this one case in is
sue, alone, $222- The entire commuta- =
ton bill is roughly estimated at $1,000
The repairs were comparatively
trifiing. he further points out. and oc-
cupying twenty days of work to COM
plete the renovation of the entire
building. Part of this. too. he shows,
the time was employed in cleaning and
laying carpets.
The total cost of repairs, 1924, he
compared with the possibility of ex-
tensive claims for Communication from
those quartered in the building.

SCHOONER BELMONT RAISED
Sand Pump Floats Her Within Fif
teen Minutes.

After half dozen unsuccessful ef-
forts had been made to raise the
schooner Belmont from the dock at
the wharf of J. H. Carter & Co., at
the foot of 14th street southwest, a
sand-pumping machine belonging to
l.. f. Smoot did the work in quick
time and the old boat has been taken
to Alexandria, where she will be look
ed over to see if she is worth the cost
of putting her in condition for service.
The pump. throwing a ten-inch stream.
in less than fifteen minutes raised the
boat.
The tug Eugenia towed the old craft
to Alexandria and showed her out in
the shoal cove at the south end of
that city.
There now remains but one sunken
vessel (the old schooner Twilight) at
this city to be raised, and as she Is
lying in navigable waters. over which
the District authorities have no control,
it is the province of the army engi-
neer service to get her out of the way.
Several weeks ago the old craft sank
on the edge OF the channel bank In the
Eastern branch. and il her owners do
not take steps to move her the authori-
ties will have her moved as an OBJ
struction to navigation.
