il was learned that the Gamma was
at Kirkwall on that date, and did not
leave until December 5.
The identity of the supposed raider
has not been determined. Admiralty
officials apparently suspect that il she
is Il hostile craft she may carry mines
for dropping off this port, the center
of British naval activity Of this conti-
nenl and the point of departure for Ca
madam troop ships. The vessel could
reach here from the position where
she was last reported by tomorrow

INTERPRETATION
Of GERMAN ACTS.
WILL Be ASKED
WILSON MAY ADDRESS
NEW NOTE TO BERLIN
With View to Clearing Up
Any Doubt as to German
Intentions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
More definite information as to the
facts involved in recent activities by
German submarines has brought the
situation 10 point where a new note
to Germany, designed 10 clear UP any
doubt as. to the Interpretation Of the
Berlin governments submarine
pledges TO the United States, appears
to be among the possibilities of the
near future.
President Wilson has given careful
attention to the evidence in the cases
Of several OF the vessels recently at
tackled, but has given no indication Of
what his decision will be. 1t was
stated positively to-day that no course
had been decided upon. but beyond
this and a reiteration that the Ameri-
can government had not In any way
altered it's stand on the submarine
question, officials declined to make any
comment.
The cases in the forefront of Consid-
Grafton are those Of the British steam
ers Arabia and Marina, both Of which
Germany contends were believed to be
transports in the naval service Of the
allies. During the day official informa-
tion reached the State Department es-
tablishing that the Marina. on which
six Americans were lost. was In no
sense transport. and an inquiry was
addressed to Great Britain for infor-
nation as to the actual status of the
Arabia.
While administration officials re-
main silent, those in close touch with
affairs in Teutonic diplomatic circles
deprecate any suggestion that rela-
tions between the two countries are
approaching a crisis. They point out
that Germany already has offered TO
make amends If her submarine conf,
manders are shown 10 have been mis-
taken In considering the vessels trans
ports and declare their knowledge OF
the intentions of the Berlin govern
ment precludes the possibility that
any deliberate violation Of the Subnla-
rine pledges has occurred.
On the other hand the United States
said In the Sussex note that mis-
takes that endangered American life
on peaceful vessels are not 10 be toll

out attempting actually. designate a

localities where the best protection OF

Although the report has not been

that the plant will be located in any
of the coastal states or in close proN-

before making Il choice.
