US, TO AVOID STRIFE
OVER THRASHER CASE
Effort To Be Made to Prevent
Break With Germany, Cabi-
net Decides.

Every effort will be made by the
United states Government to avoid an
open break with Germany as a result
OF the case of Leon G.. Thrasher, of
Massachusetts,, who was drowned when
a German submarine torpedoed and
sank tho Elder liner Falaba
This, II Is understood, was decided
at today's meeting OF the Cabinet, when
tho case ws considered In the light of
the plain threat contained in the Amcri-
can note to Germany regarding the
German war zone Decree. that II
American lives or property were injured
by reason of Gcrmany's submarine
raids. this Government would be COM
PEELED to regard such acts 'as untrtend-
ly' and to take such steps as may be
necessary to insure protection to citi-
zens OF this country.
Although admitting that the case was
one OF serious import. the members of
the Cabinet agreed, II is said, that in
view OF the assertion made that the
submarine gave opportunity to the pas.
sengers aboard the Falaba to take To
the boats, every effort should be made
to settle the matter by diplomatic cor
respondence.
At all events. 1t is stated. the Cabinet
agreed that the Administration should
Wa1 before sending any Representations
to Germany until full reports are re.
ceived from the American representa-.
tives at Berlin and London.
Secretary Bryan took with him to the
Cabinet a brief report on the case OF
Raymond r.. Swaboda, the American
arrested in Paris on the charge OF at.
temptins to set fire to tho French IineI

The State Department Is getting tn,
way paved for action in the case o.
Thrasher.
Reports from both Ambassador Pag,
and Consul General Skinner say Thrash
ment has asked for the facts, and Am
nassador Page and Consul General Skin
ner are securing affidavits to show un

der what circumstances Thrasher lost
his life.
Important questions of fact are first
TO be determined. one Is whether the
british master refused TO be visited by
the German submarine. Another is
whether due opportunity for escape was
given passengers. It Is admitted by Of
ficials that the case Is delicate one,
and the State Department will proceed
with caution.
In view of the rate at which the Ger
mans are submarining British ships, the
fear is entertained here that the loss
OF American life in undefsea attacks
has only begun.
