P, STEWART WASHINGTON, Aug. 25,— Ad- ministration officials today saw only a bare chance that the Arabic case would loom up again as a threat against continued friendly relations between the United States and Germany Unti) an explanation is recelved from Germany, the American gov- ernment is withholding judgment Authorities expressed the bellef today that the administration had not at any time believed Germany would not be able to make a@ satis- factory explanation of the sinking of the liner. The request yesterday that this government withhold action until an official report coulé be received from Berlin is regarded as having eliminated the danger of a break in diplomatic relations. If Germany did not intend to do everything possible to satisfy the United States, it is felt she would not have made such a request PHILADELPHIAN HERE John C.
