ANOTHER SHIP
TORPEDOED.

While the civilized world was re
ioicing that the trouble between Ger
MANY and the United States in rela
ton to the destruction of passenger
carving steamers had been bridget
over by the statement of Berlin thaI
such acts would not be committed in
future without ample warning being
given, the quiet of yesterday (Sun'
day. was suddenly broken by the
news that the Hesperian, some OF
whose passengers are Americans, had
been attacked by German submarine
without the facts in connection
with the case judgment should be
withheld. The Baltimore Sun says:
"Until we know all the facts in con
nection with the torpedoing of the
Allan liner Hesperian, it is well to
reserve judgment and keep cool. The
Hesperian is an Allan liner, was bound
from Liverpool to Montreal, and car
ried about 600 persons, passengers and
crew. 1t is admitted that she was
armed.
ain the face of the formal and e-s>
plicit assurance offered to our State
Department only a few days ago, it
is not to be assumed that the Hes.
perian was attacked in deliberate vio-
lation of the pledge given by the Ger
man Ambassador at the direction Of
his Government.
"Our Government will await the ex-
PLANTATION of this incident with the
same calmness and self. restraint with
which it has dealt with previous
ones. But we are entitled to an eX-
PLANTATION and prompt explanation.
We have right to know where we
stand and where the German Tov-
eminent stands. We do not believe for
moment that it is wilfully playing
with us. If the Aesperlan was lorrc
decd without warning, the German
Government owes it to it's own sense
Of self-respect and to its plighted
word to disavow the act, to punish
the perpetrator and to make amends
to us, if any Americans were among
those injured.
at will not do to plead mistake
on the part of the submarine Office,
in charge. The German Government
does not tolerate such pleas when the
mistakes of its generals or naval Of
ficers initiate against Itself. 1t knows
how to have its orders obeyed, anc
the commanders of its submarines aro
not likely to violate instructions.
"It is exceedingly unfortunate that
the attack on the Hesperian should
have occurred just at this juncture.
Germany's regard for her own gooc
faith and honor makes it necessary
for her to Srove that the Allan liner
was at fault, OF, if she cannot do that,
to punish the man who disobeyed her
orders and to make the proper COM
pensation for the damage inflicted,
She must show that her plighted word
is something more than scrap of
paper. to be disregarded at the pleas
ure or convenience of the commanders
of her submarines.
