my Dear Mr.. Secretary:
prompted by the desire to reach a

the Arabic incident, my government
has given me the following instruc-
tons:
"The orders issued by his majesty
the emperor to the commanders OF the
German submarines, Of which l mott

been made so stringent that the recur-

According to the report Of Com.
mander Schneider of the submarine
which sank the Arabic and his aft
daYita as well as those Of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinced
thatAthe Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack Of the
submarine was undertaken against
the instructions issued to the COM
mander. The imperial government re-
grets and disavows this act and has
notified Commander Schneider accord
ingly. s.:
Under these circumstances my gov
eminent is prepared to pay an indem-
nifty for American lives lost on the
Arabic l am authorized to negotiate
with you about the amount of this in
demnity.
