German Note on
Sinking of Arabic

Berlin, via London, Sept. 11.-Ger
many'a note to the United States bear
ing on the sinking of the White star line
steamer Arabic on Aug. 10, which was
communicated to the American am
bassador, James Gerard, for transmits
sion to Washington, is in the form of 6
memorandum, the text of which fol
lows:
"On Aug 10 German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
| about 16 nautical miles south of Kins-
| ale and was on the point of sinking
| the prize by gunfire after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw a large steamer
making directly toward him. This
steamer, as developed later was the
Arabic. She was recognized as an enc
my vessel, as she did not fly any flag
and bore no neutral markings.
Comes Directly Toward U-Boat.
when she approached, she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly towards the subma-
rine. From this the commander be-
came convinced that the steamer had
the intention of attacking and ram
ming him.
I'm order to anticipate this attack,
he gave orders for the submarine to
dive and fired a torpedo at the steam
er. After firing he convinced himself
that the people on board were being
rescued in fifteen boats.
According to his instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
out saving the lives unless the ship
attempted to escape or offered resis-
lance. He was forced, however, to
conclude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned a
violent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more OBJ |
vious as he had been fired upon at a |
great distance in the Irish sea on Aug
ust 14-that is a few days before-by |
a large passenger steamer apparently |
belonging to the British Royal Mail |
Steam Packet company, which he had |

Claims Not Denied.

London, Sept. 11.-Serious outbreaks
suit of the Zeppelins' latest lombard
ment. Special constables were sent
to guard German shops, boarded up
| since the internment of enemy aliens.
The anti-German feeling reached fe-
yer heat. No incident since the war
began has aroused such horror and re-
| sentiment in London as the raid over
the capital on Wednesday night, when
men, women and children were killed
or wounded by explosive bombs from
the kaiser's dirigibles.
The censor passed, without any COM
ment as to it's accuracy by the govern
ment, the Berlin claim that the west
ern part of the city of London, the
factories near Norwich and the har-
Dor and iron works near Middleton
ough were attacked by the Zeppelins.
1t is improbable the German report
will either be confirmed or denied, Of

might be useful to the enemy in estab-
fishing the locality raided and prov
ing of value in future Zeppelin raids

The public was by no means terror

night.
Newspaper Comment Brief
The newspapers carried brief edi-
torial comment on the raids.
These two raids have gained the
Germans no military advantage" said
the Daily Telegraph, and they were
just as successful in terrifying the civ
il population. Indeed in many places
in the London district, the spectacle
of Zeppelin high up in the heavens
with searchlights flashing on it and
shells bursting all around, was regard
ed and enjoyed as a unique and thrill |
ing experience. Other feelings were
naturally aroused in the neighborhoods |
where incendiary and explosive bombs |
fell, but even these caused no panic. |
The sense of outrage was strong; the |
resentment against German brutality |
found violent expression but of init |
not sign.
Called "SenseIess Outrages."
And even if the foul strokes are re-

dered in their beds, the criminals will
be no nearer to their goal; there mere

name of Germans.

| Washington, Sept ia note from
| Germany regarding the sinking of the
Liner Arabic reached the State de-
partment by cable through Ambassa-
dor Gerard soon after the arrival of
a mail report from Ambassador Page
at London, enclosing affidavits of the
Arabic's survivors.
With all available information con-
corning the case at hand, President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing are
now in position to consider the
course to be pursued by the United
States.
In connection with the German ex-
PLANTATION they will give consideration
to the assurances given since the Ara
bic incident that German submarine
commanders are under instructions to
destroy no more liners without warn

The sufIiciency of the German ex-
cuse for attacking the Arabic is be-

it was not known in Washington until

cation to pay indemnity for the loss

if it should prove that the submarine |
was mistaken in believing |
that the liner intended to attack him. |
Secretary Lansing, during the day, re-
ferred to the communication only in |
the most general way and indicated |
there would be no comemnt until the |
matter had been given the most care
ful consideration.
