Washington. Aug. 23. ? Complete
:r formation concerning the destruc
tion of the liner Arabic still was a
vralted In official quarters here today
and the admlnlatratlon's attitude be
cause of the lack of such data was
undecided. An official of the stale
departemnt said no dispatches bear
:ng on the Arabic case had been re
delved today.
Tt 1h assumed t'/at Ambassador
I a *e and the American consul at
Qu enstown are making the Inves
tigation directed by this government
nnd will file their reports at the ?
c vilest moment possible.
Meanwhile the administration is
at rtcd to be maintaining an open
mind and no decision will be reached
as to i he course of this government
? tlie new crisis with Germany un
til the President and Secretary Lan
sing have every fact in connection
with the torpedoing of the Arabic.
Official advices from London con
cerning the tragedy hav0 been un- ?
usually slow in arriving and devoid
of the full details desired. The lat
est London cable merely reported
definitely that two American* were
missing but was silent as to the facta
surrounding the actual destruction
?f the liner.
The paucity of dispatches con
cerning the circumstances surround
ing the sinking of the Arabic, to
gether with "certain Inconsistencies"
in the incomplete accounts at hand,
places government officials here to
day In an attitude of nervous ox
nertancy and Indecision.
It has been fully determined by
President Wi'son and Secretary
Lansing that there will Jje no pre
cipitate action. The fullest infor
mation must be at Wild heforo the
attitude of this government is de
termined and nunounced. The posbI
T ."'tics range from proof that Ger^
I..?- y's act was "deliberately un
f i : : -Ily" to development that there
s ;i.. justification for the torpedoing
of t'! Arabic.
At this moment It la not seen how
(iermnny can plead justification, but
f Is en Id In official circles that the
administration ' is maintaining an
'open mind" and will give the Ara-*
!)!c case the most thorough Investi
gation.
