No Change Reported; Admin
istration Will Continue to
Consider Attacks Illegal,
Washlngt6n, May 10. (U. P.) There
Is a strong indication here that the
United States will take no action in the
case of the British liner Cymric, de
stroyed by a submarine.' Secretary
Lansing's policy heretofore. In cases
where Americans were not Jeopardized,
has been not to protest.
It was stated on the highest author
ity that there had been no change in
the situation yet. On the other hand,
it was explained that the administra
tion would, as In the past, continue to
consider unwarned submarine attacks
illegal, according to this government's
Interpretation of international law.
Such attacks will be considered cumu
lative evidence of the German attitude
toward submarine activity.
A message from Consul Frost at
Queenstown received today by the state
department declared that there were no
Americans aboard the British liner
Cymric, destroyed by a submarine tor
pedo. Five British lives were lost.
The projectile,, according to Frost's
Information, was fired without warn
ing. The wake of thetorpedo was seen
afterward. Officers of the steamer told
Frost that it was not armed. Xn rather
rough weather, the crew took to the
open boats and remained in them from
1:30 till 9 p. m. Monday. The Cymric
sank at 3 a. m.

Future Raids Not Feared.
London, May 10 (I. N. S.) First
Lord of the Admiralty A. J. Balfour,
in a letter addressed to the mayors
of Yarmouth and Lowestoft says it
is his belief that the recent German
naval raids of the east and souti
coast of England were made merely
to complete the deception perpetrated
on the Irish revolutionary leaders.
He said that, "having duped the Irish
revolutionary leaders to their destruc
tion by the promise that the German
naval forces would make a serious
attack on . England simultaneously
with the uprising they made a show
of fulfilling these promises by bom
barding Yarmouth and Lowestoft for
30 minutes."
Mr. Balfour added that future raids
are unlikely, as "sufficient subma
rines and monitors have been ma'ie
available for coast defense and the
increase of the grand fleet enables us
to bring Important forces south with
out imperilling our naval preponder
ance elsewhere."

HER PROMISE IN NOTE
Investigation by Germany and

Establish Facts.
f Washington, May 10. (U. P.) Ger
many's admission that a Teuton sub
marine attacked the channel packet
Sussex was received at the state de
partment today. The note said that
(the submarine commander had already
been punished, but did not state what
penalty had been inflicted.
In part, the note said:
"The further investigation made by
German nival authorities, on the basis
of American material, has been con
cluded. The assumption expressed in
the note of the tenth ultimo, that dam
age to the Sussex was traceable to
causes other than attack by a German
submarine connot be maintained."
Convinced Sussex Torpedoed.
"On the basis cf American material,
Germany cannot withhold its convic
tion that the ship torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine is in fact identical with
the Sussex," tbe communication said.
"There can no longer be any question
of tbe possibility of two Independent
similar occurrences. Additional reason
for this belief Is constituted by the fact
that officers of the American navy
found fragments of an explosive In the
Sussex hold described by them upon
firm grounds as parts of a German tor
pedo." Commander Acted Too Boon.
"Counter-evidence deducted in the
previous note from the difference In
the appearance of the vessel which the
submarine commander described, and
tne only reproduction of the Sussex
then available, .has proven untenable.
In, view of the general impression of
alt the facts at hand, the German gov
ernment considers beyond a doubt that
tbe commander acted in bona-fide be
lief that he .was facing an enemy war
ship. On the ether hand, it is unde
niable that, misled by the appearance
of the vessel, under the pressure of
circumstances, he formed his Judgment
too hurriedly, and therefore did not act
fully in accord with the strict instruc
tions which called upon him to exer
cise particular care.
Regret Zs Expressed.
"In view of the circumstances, Ger
many frankly admits that the assur
ances given America in accordance
with, which passenger vessels were not
to be attacked without warning was
not adhered to in the present case.
Therefore Germany expresses' its sin
cere regret regarding the deplorable in
cident, and declares Its readinces to
pay adequate indemnity to injured
Americans. It also disapproves of the
conduct of its submarine commander.
who has been appropriately punished."
Foreign Minister von Jagow .iso ex
pressed the hope that the American
government would consider the Sussex
case settle by these statements.
Punishment Hot Known.
Full disavowal for the Sussex attack,
ample reparation for the victims and
satisfactory punishment to the subma
rine comrnanderwill be given, the Ger
man embassy stated, when it learned
that the Berlin governmen thad admit
ted guilt. " The pledge in the last Ger
man note made itself evident that there
would be no hesitation in disavowing
such an act.
No official could forecast the pun
ishment imposed upon the com
mander. It was pointed out that main
tenance of discipline in the German
army for violation of Instructions was
important. The matter of giving in
demnity will await the filing of Amer
lean claims.

Berlin, May 10 (U. P.) (By Wire

generally considered that attacks on
fortified positions must be made with
forces fonr times superior to those of
the defenders, the Germans assaulting
Verdun are really less than half as
numerous as the French army, which
has at that point not less than 800.000
men," sa'.d a semi-official war office
statement today.
"This Is half of the entirs force
which France still has at Its disposal
for active fighting. The second Ger
man attack on Verdun is based on the
ciushing effect of heavy German ar
tillery. The French are unable to com
pete with Germany in artmery ana
ammunition. The enormous French
losses are due partly to the effect of
the artillery and partly to the tenacity
ot the French, who refuse to aban
