UP dangerously yesterday. Germany 9
note excusing the sinking Of the p. and

transport is not satisfactory to President
Wilson. The German note, it is said In
official quarters, is considered very

positive proof from London that the
Arabia was a passenger liner and not a
transport and that there were women

that the claim that the liner was not on

can citizen on board and properly punish
the submarine commander; otherwise the
threat made in the last Sussex note that
diplomatic relations Will be ended will
