Question Of Indemnity.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 9.-How
much Germany shall pay for the two
American lives lost when the Arabic
was sunk is the chief question re-
naming to be disposed Of in the dis
pute between the two nations over
that incident.
The exact amount Germany Is liable
for the two Arabic victims, Edward f.
Woods, Janesville. Wis, and Mrs.
Josephine l.. Brugiere. Of New York,
will be settled by informal exchanges
between the state department and the
German foreign office. In such cases,
the amount ranges from one to twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars. The num-
ber of persons depending upon the
deceased the earning capacity and ex-
pectancy Of life are all factors.
The question of indemnity for
American lives lost on the Lusitania
is still unsettled as Germany has not
yet admitted financial liability. Off
cials predicted today that there would
be no trouble with Germany on this
score and that she would agree to
pay an indemnity for the Lusitania's
American victims.
In this connection it was stated
that restitution for the death Of AL
fred G. Vanderbilt and other million
aires on the Lusitania, would not be
as large as in the case of more OBJ
scure victims whose families were de-
pendent upon them.
