FUNERAL OF 3 WEDNESDAY 8 had GERMAN i ARMED SHIP ISSUE RAISED American Officials Hot Impressed by Contention German Hostile to Bethmann-Hollweg May V Have Given Out News. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Announce ment, by the semiofficial Overseas News Agency that a German submarine sank the British liner Arabia made a deep Impression In official quarters here to day, and apparently removed all possi bility that this case might take Its place with "that Of the Persia, sunk In the Mediterranean long ago in some manner never cleared up. The British Admiralty said the Persia was tor pedoed without warning but none of the central powers would admit respon sibility for It. - Officials were loath to discuss the subject in the absence of official in formation, which, it is understood, Is being sought from all sources. Some of them expressed surprise, however, that the attack on the Arabia had been semi officially admitted. It was suggested that the Overseas dispatch might mean that Germany was preparing to make a tost in the "armed-ship" controversy with the United States or that in gome way a minor official, hostile to Chan--elior von Bethmann-Hollweg's Sub marine policy, might have allowed the dispatch to get out. seeing in it an op portunity to force the issue. It has been known here for some time that Germany would make a bitter fight against the defensive arming of mer chant ships. The contention that the Arabia was an armed transport because she car Tted a 15-centimeter gun and had work-, men and war munitions aboard is not regarded here as being justified in the slightest degree. The ship was a Penin sular & Oriental passenger liner, with many passengers aboard. There was one American-on his way to India. He has made an affidavit, which has been forwarded to the State Department. So far as can be learned, the Depart ment has heard nothing in reply to Its request for Germany's version of the Kinking of the British steamer Marina, on which six Americans lost their lives, nor has sufficient official evidence been received to warrant action in any of the other pending cases.
