NO EXPLANATION
WILL Be ASKED
Wilson Not Seeking German
View in Arabic Case.
AWAITING FURTHER FACTS

When PRESIDENT Receives complete
Details of Sinking Prompt Action
Will Be Taken-Severance of DipIo.
matte Relations ls Foreshadowed.
Washington. Aug. 24-Secretary
rard at Berlin asking if the German
government had received an official
report on the sinking of the White
Star liner Arabic. The ambassador,
however, was not instructed to ask
for one. Ii was officially stated that
the American government is not yet
at all sure of the facts and considers
its information very fragmentary.
Secretary Lansing said the situation
was exactly as it stood Saturday; that
no steps had been taken other than
to get accurate information as to what
had taken place.
From the fact that Ambassador Ge-
rard was not directed TO seek an ex-
planation the inference was drawn
that the state department has decided
to let the German government initiate
any explanation it may have to- offer.
In the view of the state department
no points have been established be-
yond doubt regarding the important
questions OF convoy, the change of
course of the Arabic just before the
torpedo struck, and other essentials.
All the information received, aside
from the newspaper reports, which re.
fleet censorship, is embodied in one
brief affidavit by an American. Zellah
Covington. The department regards
it as essential that this shall be cor
roborated and supplemented.
Time Needed for Evidence.
The department accounts for the
apparent delay in procuring affdavits
by the fact that the Arabic survivors
left Queenstown almost Immediately
upon landing.
The American embassy will be eX-
pected to find survivors and procure
their statements, which may be slow
work.
The conclusion widely drawn from
the state departments action is that
all the United States wishes to know
in the case of the Arabic is the facts;
that 1t is not seeking reasons or ex-
plantations or even a disavowal from
Germany
If this conclusion turns out to be
correct it means no further exchanges
of notes between this country and
Germany on the submarine controver-
sy. but points to the adoption of an
entirely different course on the part
of the United States. Such a course
involves the recall of Gerard and the
dismissal of Won Bernstorff.
To call on Germany for an explana-
tion or disavowal after the facts con.
corning the Arabic are at hand would
questionably set the whole affair
back for weeks and once more put
the submarine issue upon the debat
ing platform.
