REFUSES TO PAY FOR LIVES LOST Germany, in. Note to U. 8., Sees No --Obligation- in Arabi¢--. Case. A despatch from Berlin says: Ger- many's note to the United States bear- ing on the sinking of the White Star Line Steamer Arabic, which was com- municated to the American Ambassa- dor, James W, Gerard, for transmis- sion to Washington, is in the form of 2 memorandum under date of Sept. 7, the text of which follows: "On Aug. 19 a German submarine stoped the English steamer Dunsley about 16 nautical miles south of Kinsale, and was on the point of sink- ing the prize by gun fire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw. a- large steamer making directly towards him. This steamer, as developedlater, was the Arabic. She was recognized 'as an enemy, as she did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings, "When she 'approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed directly. towards the: subma- rine. From this the commander bes came 'convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ram- ming him," In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the subma- rine t6 dive, and fired" a torpedo at the steamer. After firing he con- vinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in fifteen boats. "According to his instructions the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and with- | out saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resist- ance. He was forced, however, to con- clude 'from the attendant circum- stances that the Arabic planned a vio- | lent attack on the submarine. "This conclusion is all the more ob- vious as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish Sea on Aug. 14--that is; a few days before--by a large pasenger steamer, apparently beyonging to the British Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped. "The German Government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. It partictilarly expresses this regret to the Government, of the United States on account of the death of its citizens. "The German Government is un- able, however; to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggres- sive intentions of the Arabic. "If it should prove to be the "case placed at all i that it is" impossible for the German and American' oe to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German Government would be prepared to submit the" difference of opinion, as being a -question of iter- national law, to The Hague Tribunal 'for arbitration, pursuant to article 88 of .The Hague Convention. for the pacific settlement. of ternational, cine. Cas tes. "In so doing, it assumes that, as a matter of course, the arbitral sion shall not be admitted to the importance of a general deiision on the Bermpisaibility or the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." tall AUSTRIA MUST = RECALL ENVOY , Answer of the U. S. Government to Dr. Dumba's Explan- ations. ogi: A despatch' from Washington says: The United States has informed Aus- tria-Hungary that Dr. Constantin Theodore. Dumba the Austro-Hungar- ian Ambassador to this country, is no longer acceptable as that country's envoy at this capital. The demand for the Ambassador's' recall is based upon his admission that he atempted to disrupt industries in the United States. The-action taken in' Dr,-Dum- ba's case amounts to a notice to Ger- | many, as well as to Austria-Hungary, that this Government will no longer tolerate activities by aliens calculated to embarrass the United States in its relations with the belligerent powers of Europe. It was the answer of the American Government to Dr. Dumba's explanation of his intercepted letter to Vienna outlining plans for handi- capping plants in this country making war supplies for the allies. It is understood that Ambassador Dumba will not be handed his pass- ports, but will be permitted to fol- low his own course and await word from Vienna. If he should desire to return home it would be necessary for the. American' Government to se- cure a safe conduct for him from the allies, wre ee "NON STOP, BERLIN, > SIGN ON LONDON BUS A despatch from London ssosp A gurious sight near the Strand- London 'motor "bus returned fie front 'marked, "Non stop, Berlin."
