Annapolis, Nd, March 3O.-Empha-
sis on the growing warmth of affec-
ton as we'll as of understanding" be-
tween the United States and other
nations of the Western hemisphere
was laid by President Wilson in an
address at lunch given in his honor
by DR.. Romulo S. Naon, Argentine
ambassador, on board the new Argen-
tine battleship Moreno in Annapolis
roads. The president spoke in reply
to an address in similar vein deliv-
cred by Ambassador Naon.
From the time of the presidents ar
rival here on the Mayflower until his
departure for Washington his atten-
ton was given to ceremonials and
recreation. The lunch, exchanges of
formal visits and golf game here
filled his time.
Technically the president was on
foreign soil during his visit to the Mo-
reno.
ut is with great pleasure that l find
myself in this interesting company
and in this interesting place" he said
in his address. There has obtained
a custom of the United States which
has seemed to amount almost to a
superstition that the president of the
United States should not leave Its
territory.
II do not know whether that was
out of distrust to the president or out
of precaution for the country-wheth-
er there was fear that he would not
behave himself outside of his own
Jurisdiction, or whether it was
thought that he was absolutely neces-
sary to the country and its admins
tration. shall try on this occasion,
at any rate. to relieve the country OF
the fear of his misoehaviOr.
Admires New eattieship.
F..
II am particularly glad that this
great vessel, which ! have 80 much
admired, should represent some part
of the reciprocity and connection be-
tween the United States OF America
end the great republic Of the Argen-
tine. We have bsen the more glad to
be instrumental N supplying .y9N
with this great arm Of war, because
we are so sure that neither of u
will ever use such an arm against the
other.
1T is fine thing to believe-and I
believe It in the midst Of this period
of war-that the real ground of re.
spect is justice and fairness and good
will, that you cannot respect q man
or a nation for which you cannot
sooner or later acquire an affection.
And the great advantage Of intermix-
ture, not only Of actual intermtxture
OF blood, but of constant intercourse
between nations, is that there grows
UP a common understanding.
Il want to congratulate you upon
the completion of this ship and upon
all that she stands for in the way OF
reciprocity between ourselves and the
great country you represent and l
want to express my feeling as presi.
dent of the United States that we are
rapidly approaching day when the
Americas will draw together rs they
have never drawn together before and
that it will be a union not of politica!
ties, but OF understanding and mutual
helpfulness.
II want to drink to the health and
success of your president. your gov
eminent. and, II l may, l wish to in
clude your ambassador, for whom we
have the greatest respect"

All hope Of saving the lives of the
twenty-one men aboard the sunken
submarine F-4 at Honolulu has been
abandoned.
Naval experts refused to predict
how long it would take to raise the
vessel, even far enough to recover the
bodies. They declared untold engi-
neering obstacles must be overcome.
An immense diving bell has been
constructed by means of which it is
hoped to be able to pass a cradle
about the vessel to hoist her.

THEIR LIVES WHEN SHIP WAS
TORPEDOED OFF IRELAND

ARABIC SINKING MAY BE REGARDED
AS "DELlBERATELY UNFRlEND-
"" ACT, CITED IN LUSl-
TANIA NOTE.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, ID. C., Aug. 20.-The gov
ernments course toward Germany on the
sinking of the steamship Arabic, probably
with a loss of two American lives, has not
taken shape because official veritcation OF
the facts has not been obtained.
The last note on the Lnsltania pointed
out that future occurrence of such an
attack, accompanied by a loss of American
lives would be regarded a. deliberately
unfriendly," and this serious aspect causes
the state department to await reports by
American officials.
The two Americans not vet accounted for
are DIR. Edmund Wood and Mrs. Josephine
Bruguiere.
