HESPERIAN Case
NOT OFFICIALLY
BEFORE THE j. 5.
Armed, Germany May Plead
Justification for Sinking
of Liner
EXPECT VOLUNTARY
EXPLANATION SOON
BY CHARLES p. STEWART,
United Press stan Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Sept 8. - Omcial
Washington had not yet made up its
mind today concerning the Hesper-
ian. The British showing that a tor
pedo, not a mine, destroyed the liner.
was deemed inconclusive. Even as
suming that a torpedo did the work.
it was pointed out that the vessel was
very formidably armed. A subma-
rine commander might we'll have con-
sidered a ship carrying a six-inch
gun, mounted and ready for business,
a fighting craft, experts said. The
British theory that the weapon could
not have been seen from a submarine
was regarded doubtfully-it was
thought possible also. that 1t might.
Officials we're eager 10 hear from
Germany. Il was said the Germans
would not be asked TO explain. but
that the State Department believed
they would make a statement volun-
tarily. Further details we're awaited
from Ambassador Page, London. The
British Admiralty had promised a for
NAL report.
From Berlin came unofficial news
that the commander of the German
submarine which sank the Arabic had
after all, been heard from, and that
formal note disavowing his act
would beforwarded soon. It was re-
ported he had declared his belief that
the liner tried either to escape OF to
ram him; yet. it was understood his
government would place responsible
ity partly on him. This story was un-
confirmed.
