mm VOLUME IL ANDERSON, S. C. SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 19if.' NUMBER 190. LOSS OF AMERICAN LIVES ON ARABIC INCREASES TENSION MANY BEUflgE L IMIT REACHED - ' Officiai? Make no Comment But All Realise That U. S. Mutt D cide Courte Immediately. Washington. Aug. 20.?Tension In creased in official quarters tonight when consular messages forwarding affidavits of American BUrvlvors of the British liner Arabic bright definite in formation, that the vessel was torpe doed without warning and that Ameri cans lives were lost. Bight names appear on the" state de partment's list of Americans n-Msen gers missing. The consulate at Queenstown tonight added four names. It seemed that but one point remain ed i? be cleared up, namely, whether tb^ Arabic attempted to, ram tho sub marine or whether the change of the liner's course in an attempt to save the British steamer Dunksley, sinking nearby, was Interpreted by the Ger man commander as a hostile ap proach. tThe attitude of the American gov ernment for the moment ,1a receptive, awaiting details and reserving Judg ment as tp whether ttoo action was "'deliberately-nnfrtendly." Final de cision rests with 'President Wilson. No official statement haB been given. Tho general trend Of comment was that tho United Ctates has readied tho point where she must doide whether she will sever, diplomatic relations with Germany Ambassador G?rard at-Berlin is ex pected to ascertain whether Germany' sanctioned the attack. If Germany offers explanations claiming qualify ing circumstances such as the Ara bic's attempt, to eacane or ram the submarine, that will be construed as c disposition to disavow any intention to deliberately violate the * principles for which the United States contends. The' Rtatement of^niT. American sur~ vivor, officially fr&ttsthftted, that the lifeboats drifted for hours before they were rescued, was regarded as des troying the theory that the Arabic was convoyed when sunk. Naval officers here scouted the theory that a vessel the size of the Arabic would have at tempt em to ram the submarine. LONIlOX HAYS ONLY TWO AMERICANS LOST London. Aug. 20.?
