spite the growing serious concern here
caused by the receipt Of a disappoint-

is felt that an agreement can be
reached for arbitration of the ques-
tion Of reparation.
High officials were silent again to-
day regarding the entire situation.
President Wilson and Secretary Lam

Arabic survivors that the Arabic was
torpedoed without warning, in con-

that the submarine commando
thought he was about to be attacked

Orduna case reached the state departI
ment during the day, but was not del
ciphered in time for consideration.
