CONGRESS
IF BREAK CONES
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, d. G., Aug. 24.-A
new ray Of hope In the Arabic situa-
tiOn came this afternoon when Am
bassadOr Bernstorfi asked Washing
ton TO suspend action until the Of
fetal German report on the Arabic
is received. This action was taken
at the Berlin governments request
BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The State
Department today received cable
gram from Ambassador Page. London,
summarizing the evidence he has OBJ
tanned in the Arabic case.
In view Of It's "fragmentary char
acter," the dispatch was withheld.
The department admitted that Page
had been asked TO submit further de-
tails as soon as possible.
sThere are certain facts we want
cleared up,- said high official.
The statement that ~certain facts"
are not clear, was believed to indi-
cate that Ambassador Page had been
unable thus far to Obtain definite evil
dence on points In controversy.
Among the questions ON which the
administration seeks information are
the movements of the Arabic, either
toward or away from the submarine
at the time Of the attack; the extent
) to which the vessel was "conyOyedv
and the important question as TO
, whether the Arabic was Summarized
or struck n mine.
I To statements that the United
{ States and Germany are near a break,
: little heed should he paid. 1t was said
here on first class official authority
; today.
a The administration does not vet
know whether the two countries are
near break OF not. Concerning the
Arabic incident, Il was emphasized,
the government has not and cannot
r. make mp its mind until all the evil
dence is In hand and what It has re-
. ceived thus far was declared to have
been too "fragmentary" to Justify n
= conclusion.
. This was not only the attitude of
Secretary Lansing, hut at the White
House, where Presidential Private
Secretary Tumulty said he could not

a iacts have been laid before the State
: Department"
