FIRE ON SHIP
STARTED BY SPY
Blaze on the SAINT Anna, Started In
Baggage and OFFICIALS Think
II was from Bomb.

rUnited Press Leased Wire Service.]
y NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE theory
that the SAINT Anna, carrying nearly
1.500 Italian reservists, was set on
fire by a spy. was strengthened today
by ofi1cials. The fire. 1t was learned,
started in tho baggage OF third class
passengers just before midnight Sum
day night, spread quickly and ragged
violently for seven hours before it
was got under control. Shipping
agents here said private detectives
made careful search Of the vessel the
night before she sailed, but It was
possible an incendiary bomb, timed
to burst into fame when the liner
reached mid-ocean, was concealed IN
a trunk. The SAINT Anna conveyed by
the italian liner Ancona Is approach
ing the Azores. Fabre line onicials
expect a complete report from Cap
tain Pavey on her arrival there.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The
Washington administration insists on
q German disavowal Of the act OF lne
commander Of the submarine which
sank the Arabic.
This was declared flatly in state
ment issued from the white house To-
day. The president, it was said, was
not considering the question OF arDl-
trating the lives Of Americans. Th1s
threw new light for the reason for de-
lay in negotiations. The admlnlstra-
ton merely awaited reply to the re-
quirement it had made.
1t was generally understood arb1tra'
ton was refused as to the justihaDil-
ity of the German u boat command
er's mistake in assuming that the
Arabic was about to attacke him. Ger.
many apparently took the attitude
that she would owe no indemnity II
an arbitral court should decide In
tie commanders favor.
The Washington administration as
its statement was generally inter
preted, took the contrary view.
II was recognized that the issue Is
a critical one.
The outlook, however, was more
hopeful than on Monday. Secretary
Lansing announced he hopes 20
leave the latter part OF the week on
his vacation. 1t was taken for grant
ed no immediate crisis was expected:
At the German embassy 1t was SAID
Ambassador Bernstorff would remain
in Washington about twenty-rour
hours more on his present visit. NO
fresh appointment had been made for
kim at the state department Secre-
tary Lansing denied Bernstorff had
sought meeting with the president.
In its negotiations with Germany,
the administration had settled down
again today to a waiting game.
Secretary Lansing had put up to
Ambassador Bernstorff once more,
the Washington governments views
concerning submarine w; rfare. the
ambassador, in turn, had forwarded
them to Berlin. Little more could be
done until the foreign office there
was heard from.
The principal. difficulty was over the
German warning that U boats COM
manders would be upheld by their ad-
miralty SO long as British merchant
captains were under orders to ram
undersea craft ION sight, in resort
ing to the use of torpedoes at the
first suspicion that their submarines
we're about to be attacked.
This meant, it was. pointed out, that
mistakes like the one which re-
suited in the Arabic's destruction,
were sure to continue, with their in
cidental danger to Americans.
The result was declared bound to

NEW YORK, Sept 14.-Great
Britain may become protectlonlst
country as the result of measures to
be taken by the session Of parliament
that opens today, for the purpose or
paying for the war. The British gov
ernment intends to establish preoe-
dent among the belligerent nations by
making a serious effort to meet war
expenses by taxation instead OF loans
and it is probable that new customs
duties will be assessed, which later
will become a permanent part of the
British financial system.
To the present, the warning coun-
tries have been fearful of imposing
taxes to pay the cost Of the conflict.
It has been believed revolt would
follow any effort to add taxes to the
other sacrifices which the war de-
mands. The German minister Of fl
nance recently announced, as appar-
entity the fixed policy OF Germany,
that the war would be continued on
borrowed money.

What the War Moves Mean
Bv J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

Hitherto Great Britain has also
paid for the war with loans. The
British nation has criticized the gov
ernment's financial policy, and with
foresight very unusual in any coun-
try, has demanded that the govern
ment impose new and heavy taxes In
order that posterity shall not be
crushfngly burdened with war debts.
1t Is rumored the government IN
tends to take the nation at its word
to the extent of raising s500,000,00O by
new war taxes. Many sources OF rev.
enue must be tapped to add so large
a sum to the normal expense of the
government The most fruitful of all
is customs duties.
It Is probable that under the press
ing necessity of raising money by all
possible devices, the free traders
will have to give way. Whether the
united kingdom then viii become a
full fledged protectionist country, will
depend on how the new duties are dis
tributed.
