tiinal lnforrriation but the officials said the evidence- so far collected was still so fragmentary in character that further advice must be awaited.

In answer to an Inquiry as to how long it would take to get the information one high official said it might be two' or three days.

Though- precise in Its declaration that the Arabic, was unarmed, that she did not attempt to escape and that she did not attempt to ram the submarine, the British admiralty statement which probably will be'afecepted as evidence, leaves unmentlon^d the possibility of a genuine misunderstanding by the German submarine commander of the Arabic's turn to port just before the fatal explosion.

BERLIN, Aug. 24.—No further details concerning the sinking of the Arabic have been published here and the Berlin papers refrain from comment upon the situation resulting from that events The. newspapers publish what purports to be a brief despatch to the London Telegraph quoting President Wilson's secretary saying that Americans are united and If necessary will give their lives to maintain the rights of Americans on land and sea.

The Kruz Zeitung says: "These lnalllenable rights, as is known, consists of using British paasepger steamers."

Several papers publish the Arabic's manifest on a trip from New York to London beginning July 29 as contained in a report of th€$ German-American chamber of commerce of New York.

This report says that the Arabic, "which was painted like a battleship, had twelve American guardian angels aboard."

The Lokal Anzelger says that this report shows that the Arabic was equipped for battle and therefore not to be considered a harmless merchantman.

The Tages Zeitung heads the London Telegraph's despatch with the line, "Wilson's secretary threatens."
