was wrecked by mine. Their find

While there has never been a for
NAL announcement on the subject. dis
patches from London have credited
: the British admiralty with the belief
that the Hesperian was torpedoed
without warning by a German sub
marine
Some time after the Hesperian went
down the German government present
ed through Ambassador Gerard a mem
orandum stating that none Of It's sub
marines was in the vicinity at the time
the vessel was wrecked and that con-
sequently a mine must have caused
the explosion. This was In line with
the view held at both the state and
navy departments here. High Ameri-
can naval officers had contended from
the first that the fast that the ship was
struck forward al night when far be
yond the zone In which German sub
marines usually operated. made IL
practically certain that she had run

IN IT'S REQUEST THAT LOSS
OF AMERICAN LIVES BE
DISAvOWED.
Wilson and lansing Confer on Re
cent Note But Decline to
Make Any Comment.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Germany
has failed TO satisfy the request OF the
United States that the sinking OF the
Arabic with a loss of two American
lives be disavowed and liability for
the act assumed by the imperial gov.
ernment. This became known after n
conference tonight between President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing at
which the latter submitted a note
given him yesterday In New York bv
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador.
No announcement was made after
the White House conference. sec
retary Lansing said merely that IL was
inadyisable TO comment on the situa-
don while the negotiations were stiii
confidential. He declined to saw what
the next step would be, but IL was
learned later the German ambassador
would be asked to come to Washing
ton soon to receive the view which
the American government takes of the
last German note. Count Won Bern
storn is fully authorized by his gov
ernment to conduct the submarine
negotiations.
While the situation has improved to
the extent that there is no danger or
an immediate break in diplomatic re-
lations as the note affords an oppor-
tuuity for further negotiations. II was
stated reliably that final refusal by
Germany TO meet the American view
point on the Arabic case might bring
about the threatened rupture in dipIo-
matte relations.
Points Of Conflict Unknown.
Just what the details are on which
the two governments are in conflict
was not definitely known tonight be-
cause OF the veil OF secrecy envelopinR
the negotiations. In general, II was
learned that Germany, after examin-
ing the evidence submitted by the
United States, came to the conclusion
that her submarine commander erred
In assuming that the Arabic was in
tent on ramming the German sub
marine when steering to rescue the
passengers on the British steamer
Dunsley. This admission Of a mis-
take would amount TO a disavowaI of
the act. but the United States has in
sisted that disavowal must be accom-
panied by an assumption OF responsi-
bility and liability and that full repara-
tion must be given for American lives
