hNes were lost. IL was thought In most
quarters tonight that drastic steps
were improbable. but in the event u
Is found Americans were drowned, a
rupture in diplomatic relations was
everywhere discussed as likely.
The attack on the Arabic came with
out official intimation from Berlin
that submarine commanders would
persist in tOrpedoing ships without
warning and In the fact also of con
slant reiteratiOns In German quarters
here that in the future passenger YES
sells would be given due warning The
incident therefore caused widespread
comment. especially since the ship was
bound for the United States and had
no contraband. In some quarters there
was disposition TO think the German
submarine commander might have ex-
ceeded his orders or made a mistake.
President After Information.
President Wilson mad just finished
conference with Attorney General
Gregory and was preparing to 20 golf
ing when word OF the sinking OF the
steamer reached him. He Immediately
abandoned his plans and gave orders
that all information. official and unof-
hcial. be forwarded To him as quickly
as possible. \ cablegram came from
Vice Consul Thompson az Queenstown
telling OF the sinking OF the steamer
and late the vice consul reported the
names OF sixteen American survivors.
White House secretaries remained on
duty during the evening and as press
dispatches we're received giving de-
tails. they we're communicated to the
president who sent out several times
for late edition OF newspapers
Secretary Lansing. in announcing to
the newspaper men the receipt OF Mr.
Thompson's dispatch halted inquiry as
to the course to be pursued by the de
partment by the statement that he had
nothing to say at this juncture be-
cause he had nothing to work on.
