given out the official text OF the German
reply. The unofficial text. as cabled by
press from Germany. is considered sub
stantially in accord with the official
text.
The real question is whether the Ad-
ministration Ia going to accept the Ger
man version Of the facts as to the sink
ing of the vessel. Germany maintains
that the Arabic was sunk because the
submarine commander thought the ves-
sci was trying to ram the undersea boat.
This is utterly at variance with the
evidence of American survivors OF the
and from most stua
ton for the State Department and the
Administration. Though officials appar-
emily think there was no justification for
for the German version Of the facts. it
can hardly discard this version as not
entitled to weight.
The State Department has yet made
gathered on the Arabic. It may do so
later.
Question of Indemnity.
Not only is an embarrassing issue Of
fact presented. but the United States is
asked to submit the question of indem-
nifty for the loss of two American lives

but whether it will arbitrate the ques-
ton whether any indemnity should be
paid is another matter
indication are that the Arabic con-
troversy will stretch out through con-
siderable period OF diplomatic corre-
spondence. If this is the case, 1t will
have tendency to prevent acute trou-

controversy will delay disposal Of the

,an Ambassador Gerard. asserts tha
he torpedo attack was made under tn
m preston that the submarine wa
about to be rammed. The text of tn
oote follows:
Altered Her Course.
On August - a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south OF
Kinsale and was On the point Of
sinking the prize by Gunfire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw a large
steamer making directly toward him:
This steamer. which as developed
later. was the Arabic. She was rec
ogniZed as an enemy vessel. as she
did not fly any flag and bore no neu-
trail markings. =
When she approached che altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the subma-
rlne. From this the commander
became convinced that the steamer
had the intention of attacking and
ramming him. In order to anticipate
this attack he gave orders for the
submarine to dive and fire a torpedo
at the steamer. After firing. he con-
WINGED himself that the people on
board were being rescued In fifteen
boats.
Planned An Attack.
According to his instructions. the
commander was not allowed to at
tack the Arabic without warning
and without saving the lives unless
the ship attempted to escape or Of
fered resistance. He WAS forced,
however. to conclude from the at
tcndant circumstances that the
Arabic planned a violent attack on
the submarine.
This conclusion Is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fired upon at a
great distance in the Irish Sea on
lore-by a large passenger steamer
apparently belonging to the British
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.
which he had neither attacked nor
stopped.
The German government most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action Of the COM
this regret to the Government Of the
United States on account of the
death of American citizens.
The Gecman government Is una BILE,
however. to acknowledge any obli-
cation to grant indemnity in the
should have been mistaken as to
the aggressive intentions Of the
Arabic.
Suggests The Hague.
If it should ppove to be the case
that 1t is impossible for the Ger
man and American Governments to
reach a harmonious opinion on this
point, the German government
would be prepared to submit the
difference of opinion. as being a
question of international law, to
The Hague Tribunal for arbitra-
ton, pursuant to article 3s Of The
Hague Convention for the pacific
settlement of international disputes
In so doing. it assumes that, as
a matter Of course. the arbitral de-
cision shall not be admitted to have
the importance of a general decision
on the permissibility or the con-
verse under international law Of
