ants, provided that the liners do moi

In connection with the letter, Secre.
tary Lansing made the following state.
ment:
"In view of the clearness OF the fore.
going statement, 1t seems needless to
make any commentin regard to 1t other
than to say that IL appears to be a rec.
ognitlon Of the fundamental principle
for which we have! e!contended.r

at the white house, but on every hand
at official quarters there was evident.
ly qualification that the submarine crl-
sis had passed and Germany had &C.
knowledged TO the justice OF the prin.
eiples fol. which President Wilson had
been contending. so
Count Won Bernstorff's announce
ment that the policy had been decided
upon before the sinking of the Arabic
agrees with the statement by officials
in Berlin and with information upon
which American officials had been de.
pending. y 81 4
500 natter the dispatch OF the last
Lusitania note President Wilson un.
derstood that there would not be an.
other such disaster. The sinking Of
the Arabic therefore came as a double
shock.
s Inasmuch as there seems to have
been established that the submarine
which sunk the Arabic has been de
'stroyed by British patrol boat, the ex'
act circumstances may never, be deter.
mined other than by testimony from
British and American sources.
