The Hamburger Nachrichten "hopes that the report tiiut the Arabic was torpedoed will be confirmed, bccausc since the Lusitania foundered only rarely arc vessels over GOOD tons stink by German torpedoes.' Germany's Notes to Washington Government pointed out that she could not, in Avar against a brini-ul enemy like England, renounce any method of offence; least of all the most effective." The newspaper then prints a paragraph (apparently Irom the censor rather than a leader-writer) saying that the Germans' enemies hope that President Wilson will deliver them from dangers of a submarine war, but meanwhile it is not proved that the Arabic was struck by a torpedo, and there is a possibility of lier having been the victim of bad .British mines. The leader-writer, in summing up, state that possibly a boat of the U class destroyed tlie Arabic, and in that case she acted rightly, and if some Americans were drowned that again would serve as a warning that no one should light-heartedly enter the •war zone, or come within range of modern weapons.
