White Star liner Arabic Tire German
government, he said. would go further
than mere disarowal AS soon as II Is
dehnitely established that the vessel
was sunk without warning. Secretary
lansing informed the ambassador that
the United States considered it had
conclusive proof that no warning was
given. and the bassador indicated
in return that the German government,
desired only to receive report of the
incident from It's own sources
The question Of dissNowal OF tho
sinking OF the Isusitania and an offer
OF reparation for the loss of American
li"ea was not taken up. for tn. reason
that the uniiedl S,atesShas informed
Germany II desires the issues in the
two cases to he eonstaered sem Sstsly
TO WITHHOLD FINAL REI'fN -
on IuSITANIA CASE
The two governments. therefore. have
come to an understanding on that
point. This government Informed
Germany that it would insist on deal

Indicated fiis' beiieY that The negotia-
tons in the Arabic case would tie fol-
lowed by negotiations over the. L.usi.'
tania,- In support OF this statement. he
cited Che recent declaration in Berlin
that an announcement OF a submarine
policy satisfactory TO the United States
shortly would be made
Tho position of the United States is
that satisfaction for the sinking OF the
Arabic should he offered Immediately
In the opinion OF this government. the
circumstances under which the Arabic
was sunk made it an aggravated case
II followed the exchange OF several
notes between the two governments in
which the United States mad. it's posi-
lion plain. and more particularly for
lowed quickly on tho specific warning
that such an act wouhlabe considered
HALT tA2rs al, f-g-
certain other points OF difference which
put the two cases in scparat. cateco-
ries. The commands; OF the .:.,bnlarine
which sank the Arabic WAS acting in
disregard Of instructions not 20 tor
pedo passenger vessels without giving
warning and opportunit! for All on
board TO take to thcir bonts whereas
the commander OF the submarine which
sank the Lusitania had no such instrrc.

WILL OFFER REPARATION
FOR Loss OF AMERICANS
Germany will take the .same-eourse in
the settlement OF the 1.usitania contro-
rersy that she is now prepared to take
lin the case OF the Arabic!f with the
probable exception that 7inr the latter
case she will Jndouhtedly promise pun

Germany felt that In fthis way she could
hamper British trade ITO some extent,
along tho following lines:
