No INDEMNITY On
STEAMER ARABIC
IS BERLIN REPLY
Note to American Government
Expresses Deep Regret
for Deaths.
MISTAKE is NOT ADMITTED
Belief of Submarine Commander That
Liner Was About to Attack Him
Held by Germany to Justify
His Action.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Germany's
note to the United States bearing on
the sinking of the White Star line
steamer Arabic on August 10, which
was communicated to the American
ambassador, James w. Gerard for
transmission to Washington, is in the
form Of a memorandum under date OF
September z, the text of which is as
follows:
On August 10 a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south of
KinSale and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by gunfire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw a large
steamer, as developed later, the Ara.
bic. She was recognized IS 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 fired a 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 was forced, however, to con
clude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned a vio-
lent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fired UPON at
great distance in the Irish sea on Au-
gust 14-that is, a few days before
by a large passenger steamer, appar-
emily belonging to the British Royal
Mail Steam Packet company, which he
had neither attacked nor stopped.
The German government most deep
~ 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 If the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tentions of the Arabic.
II it should prove to be the case that
it is impossible for the German and
American governments to reach a 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 38 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 a general decision on the per
instability or the converse under in
ternational law, of German Submarine
warfare.

FIRST TO SCALE HIGH PEAK
Party Of University Students Make 9
Record in Mountain Climbing in
California.

Fighting their way to the top of
Half Dome, the most inaccessible
point on any of the mountains about
the Yosemite valley A. c. Pillsbury
and II college students spent a night
on the summit and made the descent
the next day.
This is the first time on record that
a party of tourists has ever scaled the
mountain and reached the top of the
dome The summit is $500 feet above
sea level and the last 1000 feet of the
climb was made with rope ladders.
The grade is said to average rs per
cent.
The dome rises hundreds of feet
above massive rock on the top of the
mountain proper. The rock itself is
1000 feet high. The overhanging rock
at the summit of the dome projects
out from the wall 80 feet and sticks
eight feet out into a yawning space.
There is a sheer drop of 5000 feet
from this point.
The party spent one night On the
point and built huge bonfire that
lighted up the surrounding heights for
miles, to the delight of many tourists
on the floor of the valley who had OBJ
served the climbers through field
glasses during the afternoon. At mid
night the bonfire was pushed over the
point, making the longest stream OF
falling fire in the history of the state.
Six girls were in the party. All of
them are students of Stanford univer.
sity.

PERFECTLY FAMILIAR TO HIM
Reason Why Carney Refused to En-
thuse Over the Glories of That
Particular Subject.

Andy" Roban, the detective-lieuten-
ant, wit and good fellow, in his life
time originated many stories Of his
quaint fellow-countrymen. He told
this one about his good friend, Car
ney:
"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on Lake
Michigan, and, as long as he bought
drinks, Carney listened to his rawlings
about the glories of nature. The
stranger went on in words of color
and elegant eloquence, but forgot to
buy another. Ah-you should have
seen that sunset, he said, half clos
ing his eyes and incoming. Go on,
said Carney. You cant tell me any
thing about that sunset. The sun sets
only about mile from where live. /"
