J. W.I J O'Sulllvan. (adv.) GERMANY It CAREFULLY SCAN ARABIC EVIDENCE Further Assurances That En emy Passenger Ships Will Not Be Attacked with out Fair Warning. Berlin, Sept. 19. Tho German govern ment will glvo Its careful consideration to tho evldcnco concerning tho sinking of tho stcnmshlp Arable, submitted by tho American government through Amba'sa dor Gerard. Gottlieb von Jagow, tho for eign minlstor, mado a statement to this effect in nn Interview Saturday with tho Associated Tress. Tho foreign minister wont fully into tho present status of tho BUbmnrlno problem nnd tho circumstances which for a tlino threatened to rovlvo tho tension between Germany and America. He expressed completo confldonco that. In view of tho instructions which had been given and tho rlno commanders, he said, wcro precise nnd definite, and thnt tho policy they had been ordered to adopt was based upon the npprovnl of tho Kaiser. Germany, Herr von Jngow said, would participate willingly in tho negotiations now being taken up in Washington nnd hoped for the most satisfactory results therefrom. Ho said Germany could not well repurtl ate the report of tho commander of tho submarine which sank tho Arable; never tholess, there was room for a difference of opinion, and Gcrmnny would exnmlno carefully tho evidence from Washington. no repeated tno nssuranco that enemy passengor steamers which respected tho maritime code would not bo attacked without warning, saying explicit direc tions had been given tho submarine com manders, nnd that the whole Germ in gov ernment stood behind this policy. "It would seem, Your Excellency,' f.uu ine correspondent, "mat tho re newal of tension In tho submnrlii" ques lion is largely due, so far ns German factors aro concerned, to three main causes: First, to tho failure to follow up Ambassador Von Pernstorff's recent dec larations at Washington and th" assur ances communicated to Ambassador Gerard here with negotiations to arrive at some more definite and fornnl under standing regarding forms of submarine warfare; second, to tho wording of the Arabic note, parts of which, according to English enhle dispatches, seem to have caused an unfavorable Impression In tho United States, and, finally, to apprehen sion of a certain lack of harmony be tween German declaration of policy, as embodied in the Instructions to subma rine commanders communicated by Am bassador Von Bernstorff, and tho practi cal application of this policy, whether duo to accidents, misapprehensions, or other causes, under which the possibility of further endangerment of American lives at sea may not bo altogether ex cluded. I mention these matters frankly because thero seems to he reason to be lieve thnt tho chnngo from tho optimism of n fortnight ago may bo bnsed on mls- I understandings nnd lack of knowledge of tho attitude of tho German govern ment." Tho foreign minister welcomed tho op portunity to make clear Germany's posi tion. Concerning tho Arabic case, ho said: "Wo hope that our offer to refer the case to Tho Hague for adjudication will provide a satisfactory settlement, In case the United States and Germany are not nblo to ndjust the question by direct negotlntlons. We could not, you will ndmlt, well go behind the report of tho commander of our submarine, or ques tion his honest belief, based on the Arnbtc's actions, that tho British capta'n was planning to attack his craft, par ticularly as long ns we had against It only press reports and the word of the British captain. Anil In this case the master and owner of the ship which dis carded Its peaceful character, as unfor tunately British ships repeatedly have done, nnd assumed the rolo of aggressor, should be held responsible for tho loss of life, not Germany. "There may be room for honest dif ference of opinion on this point, how ever, and we are perfectly willing thor oughly to cxamlno tho summary of evi dence which tho American government has transmitted to us this very day, only a fow hours ngo, nnd which I have not oven had tlmo to peruse."
