arisen through the sinking Of the Arabic
Is plain. The news comes as a distinct
shock. as the long period following the
Lusitania tragedy. during which Ger
many refrained from destroying unarmed
vessels carrying citizens Of this country

Government, though not yielding oni-
cially to the contentious in the American
notes, had decided to comply In actual
practice with the demands of this Gov
eminent.
The stories OF the survivors Of the
Arabic thus far obtained are 10 the effect
that the vessel was torpedoed without
warning. Such an act would have to he

that the severing OF diplomatic rela-
tons has been the step uppermost In the
minds OF Administration authorities in
the event OF a crisis with Germany,
Provided the unofficial reports OF the

dent, according to the general belief

take this step under consideration This
is not likely to be done, however. until

Ambassador Gerard az to the sinking
OF tbs Arabic and Germany has a an
opportunity TO disavow the act Of her
submarine commander.
The ear here, OF course, II that a
diplomatic break between the United
States and Germany would be only the
beginning Of more serious trouble. More
submarine attacks by Germany would
be certain to force the United States
forward a step further toward open CO.
operation with the Allies.
The President himself has given no
intimation to has advisers since the
Arabic went Gown as to what course
he will probably pursue. The President
has been turning the matter over sol
EMMY in his own mind. comforting oc-
~casionally with Secretary Lansing and
waiting for the receipt Of all the facts
through official channels before taking
his closest advisers into his confidence.
II would therefore be inaccurate even
to intimate that the President had any
definite course Of action mapped out, but
men who have stood shoulder to shoulder
with him throughout the submarine O n
troversy feel that the United States must
act, not talk. and that the logical step
will be the seyering OF diplomatic rela-
tons unless Germany herself offers some
solution.

that he will call Congress together II
