Washington, Dec. 8. A new note
to Germany on the general subma
rine situation appears among the pos
sibilities wlr'ch may come out of the
!:1:e?i activity of the undersea boats.
li decided on such a note will be
for the purpose of clearing up what
appears to be a difference of inter
pretation in Washington and Berlin
& to what Germany's pledges in the
Sussex case covered, espec'rMy as to
armed ships. Secretary Lanr?? paid

The United States asked Great
Britain for information to determine
status of the Peninsular and
Oriental liner, Arabia, which - a Ger-1
man submarine took for an armed
transport.

the United States will stand squarely
on the position she took in the Sus

too, holds to the pledges she gave in
that ease, which leads officials to be
lieve that there seems to be a dif
