U-bcat pledge by the submarine COM
mander who SAM the passenger steamer
Arabia without warning. This proof Ii In
the form Of evidence from Great Britain
showing that the ship never had been in
the transport service; that She was not
transporting troops; that she was fol-
lowing the ordinary route taken by pas
sensrr s.eafners. and that there was no
justification for attacking her.
The communication completely shat
ters the German defence. II IL explained.
and makes the sinking of this ship a
clean cut case Of violating the pledge
which the Imperial German Government
made to President Wilson after the sink
ing Of the channel packet steamer Sus-
sex last March.
The action taken by Secretary Lam
sing Is regarded here as a f~orerunner Of
the anticipated note Of warming which
the President will shortly despatch to
Germany. II Is Of added significance be-
cause OF the rapidly growing idea that
the Presidents peace plea, and particu-
larry Secretary Lansing's subsequent ex-
~planation. were closely afnliated with a

She could not accept so costly gift.
He must take it back.
