torpedoed without warning and that

II seemed that but one point re

Arabic attempted to ram the subma'

course to assist the already sinking
British steamer Dunsley nearby was
mislnterpreted by the German subma'
rine commander as hostile approach.
The attitude of the American gov

the action was deliberately unfriend'
ly."
The final decision rests with Presi-
