BIZ UNITED PRESS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Several
big passenger liners, including the
giant Lapland. with 31s passengers
from New York, were today be-
lieved to be passing through the
"war zone" in which German sub
marines have wrought disaster in
the last As hours.
The Lapland, flying the British
flag, sailed Aug. IL. No reports
have been received from her. but
1t Is expected she will dock at Liv-
erpool today. The Baltic, of the
White Star line, also flying the
British flag. sailed for Liverpool
Wednesday, and is still some dis
tance west OF the cone of subma-
rine operations.
The Frederick VIII, of the Scan
dinavian.American line. bound for
Copenhagen, the ST. Paul, of the
American line, and the Kristianiaf-
lord. of the Norwegian-American
line. were believed to be approach
ing or passing through the war zone
today. Other liners. it is consid-
cred certain, have sailed from Liv-
erpool for New York and are ira
versing ;he U-boat territory today,
though their sailings will be kept
secret until they are in mid-At-
lantic.
The same feeling OF uneasiness
that seized shipping circles yester-
day was prevalent to a certain ex-
tent today. though officials were re-
lieved to learn that London reports
OF the sinking of the White Star
liner Bovic were untrue. The first
reports that the Bowie was sunk
were circulated yesterday afternoon.
Later cable from London, passed
by the British censor. carried the
fat statement:
Sinking OF Bowie Is confirmed"
An hour later came correcting
cable saying the report was an er-
ror. and that the Bowie had reached
Liverpool.

(stag Correspondent United Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Threat-
ening as the German American out
look was, officials were still hopeful
that the Arabic affair would not lead
to break.
Explanations were looked for from
Berlin. The administration's atti-
tude is not irreconcilable. II was
said on high authority. II will not
submit TO slap In the face from
Germany to the United States. II
was stated, but II has no intention
OF disregarding the kaiser's foreign

say.
In short, Il was stated, the United
States government will be glad II
Germany can show that she did not
mean to disregard American rights
when her submarine commander
sent the White Star liner TO the
bottom. Even II II should appear
that these rights were transgressed.
II II should be shown that II was
without intention on Germany's part
and did not involve too wholly reck-
less an indifference TO the rights
in question. n was understood the
administration will not refuse to
take the fact into consideration.
All this, II was said, was on the
assumption that Germany manifest
ed the right spirit In whatever rep
resentations she might make OF her
side OF the case.
In high official quarters emphasis
was laid on the eagerness Germany
has displayed to gain American SYM
pathy. The very fact that she has
resorted in her efforts to accom-
plish this. to methods which have
been criticised IN this country. was
pointed to as an evidence OF the
sincerity of her wish to earn and
retain American good Will

surface such hopes as were express
ed OF an amicable settlement OF the

The suggestion most commonly
advanced was that Germany would
declare:

lection zone.>
That the White Star liner tried to
ram the submarine.
Thai the merchantmen either
tried to escape, In disregard Of
warning to heave to for n search.
or AT least executed some maneuvrc
which fairly entitled the German
commander to believe an escape was
being attempted.
