AMERICAk WOMAN
SURVIVOR TELLS STORY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Thc
affidavit OF Dr. Ceciie Graeil. Amer
lean woman survivor OF the liner
Ancona. torpedoed recently. reach
ed the state department today.
contrsdicting Austrias official
claims. the doctor declared that de-
barking passengers were sheIled BY
the Austrian submarine. She did
not clear up, however. the matter
OF the Ancona's alleged flight.
The affidavit was obtained by an
American official at Marseilles
who was sent To the hospital at
Bizerta to get her statement.
The woman's statement was the
first authentic report from an
that the passengers had been
shelled after the liner stopped.
II left the administration no al
Tentative but 10 make strong pro-
test TO Austria
The summary OF the affidavit as
cabled Consul Mason OF Algiers
said:
"Cecile Greil was an intelligent
impartial witness. Her deposition
Is inconclusive as 10 whether the
Ancona attempted to escape. Her
first intimation OF danger was
when she was in the dining saloon.
She heard a disturbance on deck.
Stoppage OF the liner followed.
Shortly a shock shook the vessel.
Her testimony proves the bonn
bardment lasted As minutes, and
continued after vessel stopped, kill
ing and wounding many She saw
the torpedo. and says there were
six cannon on submarine, which
flew a red and white flag.
"She knows nothing regarding
other Americans.
Information from Bizerta demon
strstes that 13 vessels were sub
marined Nov. to from Gibraltar
to Ancona."
The description of the flag given
by DR.. Greil is that of the Austrian
flag. The fact that 13 ships have
been sunk In so brief period may
lead to complications since 1t may
mean that German submarines
were involved.
