TENSION AT LAST
FOUND ITS RELIEF
When Germany Sends Message
Asking For Delay in
Action
CONCERNING LOSS
AMERICAN LIVES
By the Sinking of the British
Steamer Arabic by
Submarine.
The tension in official Washington
was at fever heat all last week, over
the loss of more American lives in the
sinking of the British steamer Arabic
by a German sub-marine; until Count
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
communicated to the State Department
instructions from Berlin expressing
regret if Americans lost their
lives in the sinking of the liner Arabic i
and asking that the United States delay
taking a definite stand in the case
until Germany could report in more
detail.
This was the first word from offi-1
I
cial German source concerning the
Arabic, on which two Americans per-,
|
ished. Its receipt was followed by an
evident relaxation of tension among)
officials. No attempt was made how-!
ever either at the State Department J
or the White House to internret thn
__ I
Ambassador's communication. Offi-|
cials merely said the American Government
of course would await the
German explanation.
Count Bernstorff telegraphed from
New York the text of -his instructions
from Berlin as follows:
"So far as no official information
available concerning the sinking of
the Arabic. The German Government
trusts that the Amreican Government
will not take a definite stand at hearing
only the reports of one side,1
which in the opinion of the Imperial
Government cannot correspond with
the facts, but that a chance will be.
i /"i . . - '
given lo oernuiny to be Heard equally.,
Although the Imperial Government
does not doubt the good faith of the
witnesses whose statements are reported
by the newspapers in Europe,
it should be borne in mind that these'
statements are naturally made under
excitement which might easily produce
wrong impressions. If Ameri-,
cars should have actually lost their i
lives this would naturally be contrary
to our intentions. The German Gov-!
eminent would deeply regret the fact,
and begs to tender sincerest smypa-j
thies to the American Government."
Particular attention was Attracted
by the statement's assertion that the J
Imperial Government believed accounts
of tho sinking from England
could not correspond with fact. These!
accounts, in affidavits by the ships,;
captain and American survivors,
agreed that the Arabic, an unarmed
British passenger vessel bound for the
United States with no contraband,
was torpedoed without warning by a
German submarine.
It may be a week or more before!
Germany is heard from further. The
report of tho submarine commander'
must be awaited, and it is known 10
days or more sometimes elapses before
the underwater craft return to their
base and communicate with the Admi-j
rality. The State Department will
continue compiling the evidence for- J

would be international competition for
the American crop despite the fact
that it was contraband.
