Official Report Shows Sink

Case-No Acute Issue In
volved.
wAsHINoToN. July 20.

WASHINGTON. July as
with the receipt OF virtually complete
ofiloial report on the torpedoing OF the
American steamship Leelanaw by a Ger
man submarine. the state Department to-
day began preparation OF note to be
sent to Germany requesting the payment
of damages. The case OF the Leelanaw,
It now is apparent, will be much like that
Of the William P. Frye. this Government
seeking reparation on the ground that
the American Prussian Treaty OF 1928
had been violated.
American Consul Denison, at Dundee,
Scotland, reported to the State Depart
ment that the captain OF the Leelanaw
admitted he attempted to escape from the
German submarine, but stopped after
warning shots had been nred He mad
no complaint to make OF his subsequent
treatment by the submarine commander
who gave the crew opportunity to take
to boats.
This report served to remove the Lee
lanaw case from the zone OF eompIicat-
Ing Issues in the main controversy be-
tween the United StateS and Germany on
the subject of submarine warfare. The
destruction OF the LeeTanaw gradually
diminished in Importance as facts became
known in official circles, and the sinking
OF the vessel now is regarded as an in
oident for diplomatic exchange rather
than one bearing directly on the serious
which resulted from the Lusi-
tania tragedy

RELIEF OF MEXICO CITY
WILL BE U. S. DEMAND
Washington Looks for Steps to
Relieve Food Shortage Within
% Hours.

WASHINGTON, July 20. = The United
States will insist on speedy action by
the factions in Mexico to relieve the short
age of food in Mexico City, it was said
here today.
1t was expected the demand would be
made within "a hours and would precede
the definite Hteps" promised by the Ad-
ministration in Mexico ''in a short time"
The zapatistas control the capital, 1t
was understood, and II was thought Villa
would be the one the State Department
would look to for relief.
Secretary Lansing admitted he did not
know the whereabouts of ex-Consul Cen
eral Shanklin, recalled from Mexico City
following a clash with the Brazilian Min
lister. He was last reported in Havana.
The Carranza agency here today re-
celved dispatch from First Chief Car
ranza, ut Vera Cruz which says;
''1t is untrue that suffering through
food shortage is becoming worse in Mex
leo. Aside from the fact that foodstuffs
have not been lacking, the oncoming
crops, which are now being harvested
in all the torrid portions of Mexico, will
make It unnecessary to import cereals
and will cause Immediately a decrease
in prices"
Mexican peace plans received another
setback as result OF an official denial
by General Carranza that he would send
delegates to Torreon to treat with repre-
sentatives OF the villa faction.
Secretary Lansing said that the State
Department might make representations

BERLIN PRESS ADVOCATES
IGNORING LAST U. S. NOTE
BERLIN. July %.

BERLIN, july ~,
The German press is virtually unan-
!mous In advocating that the Govern
metn ignore the American note on sub
marine warfare and refrain from further
diplomatic exchanges on the subject.
The Koelnische Zeitung advises the
Government not to answer the American
note. At the same time It prints a
letter from its washington correspond
ent which says that American media
tion between the warning nations Of Eu-
rope is impossible.
This opinion is shared by Germany"
the Koelnische Zeitung adds.
The Vossische zeitung declares that
the Government has resolved not to an
swer the American note for the present.
In an article in the same paper, Pro-
fessor Meyer, of the University Of Ber-
lin, asserts that President Wilson's pol
icy is aimed to secure "for HIS party
dominance in American political affairs"
