WASHINGTON, Dec. Germany,
in a note made public by the state de-
partment today, contends that the Brit.
ish steamer Arabia sunk in the Medi-
terranean on November 6, was in real
i,y transport ship for troops in the
service of the British government,
which is to be considered as an auxili-
airy warship, according to international
law and therefore can be treated like a
warship,"
The German governments attitude,
however, like that in the Marina case
Is expressed to be one of readiness TO
make amends IL il be shown that the
submarine commander violated Ger
