Washington, Dec. S.-More definite
information as to the facts involved
in recent activities by German SUBJ
marines has brought the situation to
a point where a new note to Germany
designed to clear up n doubt as to
the Interpretation Of the British gov
ernment's 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 today that no course
had been decided upo' but beyond this
and a reiteration hat the American
government had not in any way
altered it's stand on the submarine
question, officials declined to COM
ment.
ANS al SAtS III Va SOll
sideration tonight were those of the
British steamers Arabia and Marina,
both Of which, Germany contends
were believed to be transports in the
service Of the allies. During the day
official information reached the state
department establishing that the Ma
rina, on which six Americans were
lost, was in no sense a transport, and
an inquiry was addressed to Great
Britain for information as to the
actual status Of the Arabia.
While administration officials re.
main silent, those in close touch with
affairs in Teutonic diplomatic circles
depreciate any suggestion that rela.
tons between the two countries are
approaching a crisis.

SMITH FOR C0LuMBll'S CLAIM
SENATOR AT WHITE HOUSE ON
NITRATE NATTER.
Points Out to President Desirability
of Columbia for Site Of Plant.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Senator e. d.
Smith of South Carolina tonight call
ed at the White House and held an
important conference with the presi-
dent regarding the location OF the
$40, 900, 600 nitrate plant recently au-
thorized by congress.
1t iS understood that Senator Smith
told the president that inasmuch as
many phases of the European war are
not now as serious as they were when
this bill was passed and that in his
judgment this plant should be estab-
lished more from an industrial stand
point than from one Of strategy or
for purely war purposes. The presi-
dent was also told that Columbia Of
fers the most excellent advantages for
the location of such a plant and that
the city could offer not less than 200,-
600 primary horsepower and more If
needed. 1t was further stated that
from a standpoint of transportation
facilities Columbia offers a most ex-
cellent site as materials may be taken
there as cheaply as to almost any
other point which might prove salts
factory.
Senator Smith also said that the
matter might also be we'll adjusted II
the $4,000 900 appropriation could
be divided into two or three parts to
establish one plant at Columbia, an
other at Muscle Shoals, Ala, and Dos
sibly another somewhere else. In this
way all the appropriation would no,
be put into one plant.
1t is not yet known what disposition
will be made of the ma, -er : Sen.
ator Smith made a strong plea for Go,
lumbia.
While at the White House Senate,
Smith also discussed with tho presi.
dent the matter Of quarantinins

soon bring up in congress. He sha:
received many letters from differsnt
