AMERICAN STEAMER
SUNK BY GERMANS
THE EPISODE HAS CREATED
WIDESPREAD DISCUSSION
IN ENGLAND.
CONTRABAND WAS ON BOARD
This Fact, II Is Declared, Did Not
Justify the Destruction of the
Vessel.

Observation-Disclosures OF the
American ship Leelanaw by a German
submarine drew sharply to the atten.
ton Of the United States government
the fact that Germany was insisting
on her own Interpretation of the Prus.
sian-Ameriean treaty OF ISIS in d!sre-
garding two American notes on the
subject.
In three instances OF American ships
destroyed or damaged, the Gulflight.
the Nebraskan and the William 7.
FRYE, Germany has agreed TO pay dam
e g and in the last case the Berlin
government took the position that II
had not violated the treaty of lS2S,
but had exercised a right given her by
inference from the language OF the
past.
officials Of the Washington govern
ment were surprised at the destruc-
ton Of the Loelanaw, but beyond add
ing an argravating incident to tho al
ready strained relations between the
two governments. there was no indica-
ton that the case would lead 10 n new
turn in the general situation.
The fact that the crew OF the vessel
was saved caused a feeling of relief III
official quarters. but there we're evil
dences OF apprehension II Germany
continues to promise payment, yet de-
strovs more American ships. a new
situation might be created which
would require further warning to the
Berlin government.
The fact that the Leelanaw carried
n cargo OF fax. declared absolute CON
trahand by Germany. does not alter
the view Of the United States govern
