Washington, Nov. 20. -Announcement by the semi-official Overseas News Agency that a German submarine sank the British liner Arabia made a deep impression in official quarters here today, and apparently removed all possibility 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 torpedoed without warning but none of the Central Powers would admit responsibility for it.

Some officials exprest surprise that the attack upon the Arabia had been semi-officially admitted. It WAS Buggested that the Overseas dispatch might mean Germany was preparing to make a test in this of the "armed ship" controversy with the United States, or that in some way a minor official, hostile to Chancellor Von Bethmann- submarine policy, might have allowed the dispatch get out, seeing in it an opportunity to force the issue. It has been known here for some time Germany would make a bitter fight against the detensive arming of merchant ships. The contention that the Arabia was an armed transport because she carried 15-centimeter gun and had workmen and war munitions aboard 1s not regarded here as being Justified in the slightest degree. The ship was a Peninsular and Orient passenger liner, with many passengers aboard.

There was one American on his way to India. He made an affidavit which has been forwarded to the state department. Temperatures. Lowest Highest Sun. 7 p.m.
