by. the Navy Department had indicated
that a fragment of the engine of war
which sank the Allan liner Hesperian

ton regarding what form the commum-
cation to the German government might

States qualified disclaimer of re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the

said that on the face of the evidence
then at hand Germany was satisfied
that the Eesperian' was not sunk by
a German submarine.
The fragment of metal examined by
the Navy department experts was said
20 have been picked from the deck OF
the Hesperian after the explosion.
The Hesperian sank early in Septem-
Der off the Irish coast while making
her way to port after being disabled
bv the explosion. The fragment was
made Of polished steel. and was about
nine inches long. 1t was sent to the
State department by the American
embassy at London.

been terpedoed. The fragment Of met
al was sent along as proof that the
statements in the affidavits were true.
