ARABIC HIT BY MINE?
GERMAN NEWS BUREAU ALSO
SAYS CAPTAIN OF LINER WAS
READY TO RAM SUBMARINE.
WILSON WAITS FOR FACTS
President In official Announcement at
Washington Says as Soon as Facts
In Case Are Ascertalned Our Course
of Action VIII Be Determined.

Berlin (Wireless via Sayville). Aug.
25.-The Transocean News bureau is
sued the following statement on Mon
day to the pres:
Naval circles here call attention to
the remarkable contradictions in the
English press reports concerning the
sinking of the Arabic One report
says that the passengers and crew re-
ceived lifebelts as soon as the ship en-.
tered the danger zone This is non
sensical, because the ship had left
Liverpool and already was in the dan
ger zone. The distribution of life
belts admits of the conclusion that the
captain was obeying admiralty orders
and, seduced by offers of large re-
wards in money, intended to ram any
submarine as soon as it was sighted.
Other reports stating explicitly no
Submarine or torpedo was sighted,
permit the assumption that the ship
struck loose mine. All this shows
the necessity of awaiting an official
report.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says
editorially:
IF it is true that a German subma-
rine destroyed the Arabic, as the re-
suit of which American citizens were
accidentally drowned, this is fresh
justification for the German warnings
to foreign citizens not to enter the
war zone aboard British ships. but to
use neutral ships"
The article states that it is very re-
grettable that America has entirely
disregarded German warnings and has
tried by threats to cause Germany to
give up her submarine war, which is
impossible. This doubtless is the SEN
timent of the entire German nation.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Oficial an
nouncement was made at the White
House on Monday "as soon as all the
facts regarding the Arabic are ascer-
tanned our course of action will be de-
termined."
