However, the Germans had advanced

Further Details Needed.

These brief messages leave much TO
ne desired as to the details Of wha; hap
pened when the vessel was attacked as
far as the international phases OF the
situation go. The State Department is
most Interested 20 learn under what cir
cumstances the attack took place. Some
Of the questions for which answers arc
sought are:
l. there positive evidence proving con-
rlusively that the vessel was torpedoed
and not damaged by "A mine?
Ii II can be established that the Gulf
HIGHT was torpedoed. il there evidence
establishing the identity Of the sub
marine that fired thu torpedo?
Was the weather clear or foggy that
ls, could the attack have been due to "A
apprehension as TO the nationality
of the Gulflight'
Finally, did tie officers Of tho sup
posed German submarine visit the Gul-
Night or In any other way determine her
character and cargo and was warning
given before the attack was made?
Until all these qu stions have been
answered by means OF official reports
to Washington no steps will be taken
In the case by this Government and off,
Gals will continue to urge caution in
drawing conclusions in the case.
While officials are trying To suspend
judgment until all the facts are learned
