French Authorities to
Help Ancona Refugees
On TuniSian Coast

PARIS. Nov. 10.-Orders to the French
naval authorities at Bizerta to do every
thins possible to help the 20 survivors
Of the torpedoed Italian liner Ancona
were sent today.
Bizerta. where the Ancona castaways
were landed, is an important French
base on the Tunisian coast. No details
Of the disaster have yet been received
from there.
Admiralty officials. inclined to suspect
the Germans. said 1t would be natural TO
expect a German submarine to hoist
the Austrian colors in operating against
an Italian ship, inasmuch as Austria
and Italy are at war and Germany and
Italy are not. Dispatches from Italy
also spoke OF the submarine as Of 4
large model
The German U-boats known to be on
their way. to Levantine waters are Of
the latest super-submarins type.
Rome dispatches specifically said tho
submarine which sank the Ancona flew
,he Austrian flag.
Al the French admiralty. however, Il
is suggested that there have been no
reports Of the presence of Austrian un-
dersea craft In the Mediterranean lately,
though they probably are operating in
the Adriatic. but that. on the other
hand, a German U-boat feet Is known
to lie on its way through the Mediter-
ranean. presumably bound for the

Prussian Casualties
Now Total 2,O99, asa

ROTTERDAM. Nov. 10.-Ten more
Prussian casualty lists have been pub
ilshed covering the period from october
22 to November ., inclusive. In this
period the Prussian losses amounted to
1886, or roughly 1900 more than In the
previous ten lists published.
The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courani
suggests that the Increase In casual
ties tustifies the supposition that these
IIsts are losses suffered during the grea,
, allied offensive. The paper adds that
the total Prussian losses. alone nov
amount to 2.G.9.I5i. In addition 23f

Warned Its Victim
Before Sinking Her

ROME. Nov 1O.-The fate OF 3lo pas
sengers and seamen unaccounted for
among those on the italian line steam
ship Ancona. sunk by a submarine fly
ing the Austrian flag late Tuesday. IL
still uncertain here today.
It has not yet been possible to learn
whether there were Americans among
the 27O survivors landed at the French
naval station of Bizerta. on the African
coast.
The figures are approximate. but are
believed to be nearly correct. That the
passengers rSmbered i22 Is known defi-
nitelv from the Italian lines records in
Naples. The crews full complement Is
100. but whether 1t included exactly that
number OF men when the Ancona left
on its voyage is not certain.
From the fact that first reports OF
the disaster said many Of those landed
at Bizerta are wounded. II Is believed
that there can have been very little IL
any warning given by the submarine.
There might have been drewnings
while the crew and passengers were
getting into the boats or by loss of the
boats themselves after the Ancona had
been torpedoed. II IL pointed out. but IL
was only by q torpedo that the wounds
could have been inflicted. naval experts
declare. This is taken as meaning that
the missile was fired while crew and
passengers were still on board.
No account has yet stated precisely
where the attack on the Ancona occur
red From the fact that the survivors
were landed at Bizerta. however. 1t Is
inferred that 1t must have been in the
vicinity Of the Tunisian coast, Bizerta
being only thirty-eight miles northwest
Of the city Of Tunis.

not protest to Austria. II was officially
stated, II II should be shown that the
heinz 70 s'cnps
Department officials emphasized this
feature Of the case.
Comments Guarded.
They are awaiting Information es-
pecially on this point because Of re-
ports that the Ancona was shelled by
the submarine, indicating that she may
have been warned and tried to escape:
The legal aspects were commented
upon In a guarded manper. 1t was
stated that the agreement Heached with
Germany was full moral. but not legal,
notice to Austria regarding submarine
warfare. Austria did not participate Of
socially In any OF the submarine ne
sotiations with Germany.
While the Humanitarian questions In.
solved subordinated the technical legal
plained that there were several legal
contingencies In the situation.
II is not doubted that II the sinking
Of the Ancona was under circumstances
Government will demand u disavowal
from Austria OF the act OF her sub
marines commander, reparation. and n
pledge. like that exacted from Ger
many. regarding future operations.
A Delicate Question.
Tho fact that the Ancona was not
carrying reservists or contraband when
alleged to have been attacked. in the
opinion of officials. aggravates the
case. That the Austrian government
WAS under obligation first to halt ana
warn the Ancona and give passengers
and crew an opportunity to escape will
be maintained by the Administration.
Another delicate question involved is
the possible dispute with Austria fol-
lowing SO closely upon the recall OF

post here still vacant. both nations
would be somewhat handicapped in me-
Eotiations. Resentment over Dumba q
