Declared to Be Weakened.

Secretary Of State Lansing Yesterday
announced that the United States gov
ernment was in receipt of Information
from London tending to weaken materi-
ally the defense Of the submarine attack
on the British steamer Arabia made in
the Mediterranean several weeks ago.
The information furnished by the British
government is still, in the opinion of the
State Department. insufficient upon which
10 base an authoritative protest to the
German government from Washington.
Secretary Lansing authorized the fol-
lowing announcement on the subject:
The Department of State has received
reply from the British government to
its inquiry regarding the status of the
steamer Arabia, to the effect that she
was not at the time she was sunk, and
never had been, in the service of the
British government or any of the allied
governments; that she carried some gov
Grnment passengers, booked as ordinary
packet passengers at the expense of the
government
The number Of such passengers will he
communicated later 1t is understood also
that there were no AsiatiCs on board ex-
Cept the Indian native crew, and that
vessels do not follow the ordinary peace
route on account of the operations of
submarines"
On board the Arabia al the time of her
sinking were some American citizens.
None OF them were either killed or in
jured.

permit.
There are families in Washington that

grow up and be citizens. Just now,
though. they are only kids, and they
need Christmas Anything that any one
can do to make Christmas real holida y
