LOSS OF AMERICAN
LIVES Is REGRETTED
SYMPATHY IS RENDERED
GERMANY ASKS STATE DEPART
MENT NOT TO TAKE ACTION
TILL THEIR SIDE is HEARD

New York, Aug. 25.-'If it was
due to the action of German subma-
rine that American citizens lost their
lies vim the torpedoing of the steamer
Arabic, such action was contrary to
the intentions of the German govern
ment," according to advices received
by the German ambassador from Ber-
lin, and telegraphed by him to Wash
ington.
1t was also said in the communica-
ton that the German government
will deeply regret such a loss of life
and would tender the sincerest sym
pathies to the American government.
The text of the matter given out
by Count Won Bernstorff reads:
The German ambassador received
the following instructions from Ber-
lin, which he communicated to the
Department of State:
$50 far no official information
available concerning the sinking of
the Arabic. The German government
trusts that the American government
will not take definite stand at hear
ing only the reports of. side, which,
in the opinion OF the imperial gov
eminent, cannot correspond with the
facts, but that a chance will be given
to Germany to be heard equally. AL
though the imperial government does
not doubt the good faith of the wit
nesses whose statements are reported
by the newspapers in Europe, it should
be borne in mind that these state
ments are naturally made under eX-
citement whic Knight easily produce
wrong impressions. If Americans
should have actually lost their lives,
this would naturally be contrary to
our intentions. The German govern
ment would deeply regret the fact
and begs to tender sincerest sympa-
thies to the American government. "
