to the foreign office a memorandum
declaring positively that no Ger

memorandum suggests that POS

marine attacked any liner answer
Ing the description Of the Hesper-
ian. the admiralty reported. and no
submarine was in the vicinity Of
the Hesperian when the explosion
tore her side open.
The submarine boat commanders
reported that they sighted scores
of mines floating in the Irish sea
and of the Irish coast. These
mines. 1t was stated, apparently
were strewn for the purpose OF
sinking German U-boats.
The admiralty memorandum prob

As evidence of the desire OF the
