T0RPFDOFD LINER SINKS
 WITHIN SIGHT OF LAND
UNITED STATES AND GERMANY ON
 BRINK OF BREAK

Washington, Sept. 6.-The white house and the state pertinent have suspended judgment on the sinkins of the Allan liner Hesperian, pending he receipt of defir ste information as tO the circumstances of the attack.
 It has ben announced that this government will take no action until all the: facts are at hand. The same course was followed in all other cases growing out of the German subma- rine activities.
 The unde rcurrent of official sug- gestion is that if it be shown that the Hesperian was torpedoed without warning, and that she was not trying to escape, only prompt disavowal by Germany will avert the most serious of all the diplomatic crises bstween the Uni,ed States and Germany.
 The seriousness of the Hesperian case is emphasized by the fact that the United States absolutely refused to discuss the Lusitania case until satisfactory exploration had been made of the sinking of the Arabic, al- though only two American lives were lost by the destruction of that vessel
 In view of the importance of exact, comprehensive information, which will include the defense of Germany, Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has been asked to get a report of the " usnt from the German admiralty. Such a report. it is understood, will be available because there is no sug- eeston as in the Arabic case, that the offending submarine las been lost or dstroyed. | Ambassador Page at London also has been asked to expedite his official report. which will include the testi- mony of surviving Americans.
 i The outward calm of officials here I is due largely to the fact that they 4 know it is practically impossible to Lget. the, German admiralty report l within, less than ten days.

' Almost immediately after the arrival. of the Pine Bluff party. the big street parade was held, with 1000 men and women in line. The procession was nearly two miles in length. and passed through the principal streets of the city. between two lines of packed, iammed people.
 After the parade. the crowds; went to City park. where Mrs. Fred Baer was crowned queen of the day. while she was surrounded by maids of hon or representing the several cities and towns which participated in the ,cele- hration.
