LONDON, March 3.-Though they

that the submarine U-27 which sank

Ia few days after the Arabic was
sunk off the Irish coast by the U-21,
reports came from both London and
Berlin that the submarine had been
sunk by British patrol boats.
Ambassador Bernstorff, however.
reported to the American state de-
partment Oct. 5. 1915, that the = boat
had returned to its base and that on
the basis of a report made by Com
mander Schneider, Germany wished
to disavow the Arabic sinking.
A New York newspaper yesterday
quoted a high British official in this
country as authority for the state
ment that the U-21 was destroyed by
the British. Two of her crew were
captured by the British, but died lat

to keep the United States out of a
foreign conflict to which it has been
nearer during the last few da.-s than
at any time since the days Of Mckln-
ley, reached their climax at IL O'Clock
today when the senate met to give
notice to the worId-and especially to
Germany-that united congress and
nation stands behind, President VIII
son.
Some Of the senators undoubtedly
had been dragged up to their stand.
But the early count indicated that
when the vote is taken after what
promised to be brief debate, the
necessary number will have tOed the
mark drawn by the president-a mark
plain enough to be seen by every
European chancellery.
Senate support OF the president by
a vote of nearly 8 to 1 seemed as
sured.
The house will also go on record
favOring the president possibly to-
morrow, but probably by smaller
vote The senate proceedings today
we're carefully framed in advance. The
but the non-partsan support Of many
republicans wiped out partisan flavor
to the admins ira ton victory.
The final vote was to be taken after
a brief speech by Senator Gore. Okla

luton warming Americans to stay off

and denying them passports.
