BERLIN MAKES NO REPLY ABOUT ARABIC

U. S. Disturbed By Silence of Germans—Wilson Wants Facts Before He Acta.

Berlin has failed so far to make any statement about the sinking of the Arabic in which two American livee were lost. England has declared that the Arabic was not convoyed, that it did not carry contraband, that it did not try to escape and that it did not try to ram the submarine that sunk it. England enters, in fact, a complete denial of all responsibility and Germany keeps quiet Secretary Tumulty after a conference with President Wilson Monday gave out the following statement: “As soon as all the facts regarding the Arabic are ascertained our course of action will be determined.” The secretary said that all the information so far received was fragmentary and that details are still being sought. Ambassador Page at London has sent the full account by mail, including affidavits by some American survivors. Dispatches sent by the ambassador were not made public. It is assumed that Germany will offer explanation unless she seeks an outright issue with the United States which is very improbable.
