WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. It was
announced at the Btate department
today that Ambssstdor Gerard prob
ably will be directed to call the Ger
man governments attention 'to the
sinking of the White Star liner Ara
bic and to Invite any explanation.
This was the first Indication from
official source that Germany would
have an opportunity to give th"e rea
sons for the attack, apparently In din
rctrard of President Wilson's solemn
warning that such an art would be
regarded as deliberately unfriendly.
The BUte department's attitude Is that
It the German government has any facts
which, in Its opinion, go to mitigate the
circumstances of the attacK. the Berlin
foreign office should have opportunity to
present them.
Will Act Deliberately. '
Today's announcement, moreover. Indi
cates that before President Wilson takes
any action there mav be some nxohnnr
j of diplomatic communication.
It is stated that the State department's
policy la to show the utmost deliberation
consistent with the delicate question and
to omit no opportunity of avoiding a
sevei-ance with German so long as there
l a reasonable expectation that a suf
ficient excuae csn be given for the sink

When the steamer left Its dock the

the warning that OsiTnan submarines

This warning, the passengers said, was

Germany Expects
To Collect Cost of

BERLIN, Aug.

V. (Via Amsterdam
Karl Hslfferich, sec-
rotary of th German Imperial treasury
! speaking In tbe Reichstag on the second
reading of the war loan of 12,600,000,000
said: - "Until now twenty billion mark
have been oted and our estimates of
war neede still are exceeded by real ex
penaiiure. The expenditure tn one 1
month I higher by one-lhlrd than
the total expenditure for the war of 1870,
but every German knows that the sacri
fices will not be in vain. The grant of
new million mean a guarantee of un
movable determination on the pert of the
German peopla
"During the war we will not Increase
the gigantlo burden of the people by new
taxation. A tag on -war profit can only
be raised at the conclusion of the war.
The heavy burden of thousands of mill,
lions will be borne through decade by
th Instigators of th war and not by us."
Continuing, Dr. Hslfferich declared
speculative buaineaa which already, had
revived, had to be suspended as all avail
able money wa needed by tho father
land. Subscriptions to the third war loan,
he said, could be made through the post
office and small subscribers for l.OuO
marks or less would be permitted to pay
In Installments.
Dr. Hrlffsrich, discussing the war ex
penditures of various powers said:
"Up to the present the German expendi
tures have been highest, but they are now
