GULFLTGHT, FLYING

SUBSEA WITHOUT TIP
Preliminary Reports to Washington
Now Leave in Doubt Only Ma
tionality of the Under
water Vessel.
PAGE STARTS INVESTIGATION
It is Thought in German Circles that
Regret Will Be Expressed if
Berlin at Fault.
AM1CABLE ADJUSTMENT IS SEEN

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Prelimi-
nary reports received by the State
department today stating that the
Gulflight was torpedoed without
warning while flying the American
flag left officials in doubt only as to
the nationality of the submarine
which committed the attack.
Ambassador Page at London re-
ported that he had set in motion a
detailed investigation. He sent a
naval attache and naval constructor
to make technical examination Of
the vessel.
Consul General skinner and his sub
ordinate agents have been instructed by
the ambassador to take dispositions and
statements from officers and members
of the crew of the Gulflight. In the
meantime Ambassador Gerard has asked
the German government for such infor-
nation as it may have on the subject
Not Available Now.
The facts probably will not be avail
able for several days, and until then no
decision will be reached by the United
States government as to the nature Of
the representations it will make.
1t is thought in German quarters that
il the German government learns that
one of its submarines by mistake did
attack the Gulflight regret will be
promptly expressed for the occurrence.
Officials here are inclined to the be-
lief that whatever facts are disclosed by
the investigation will lead not only to
an amicable adjustment of the Gulflight
incident, but the evercise Of greater pre-
cautions by the German submarine COM
manders in the future.
Smiths Statement.
The statement received by the State
Department from Chief OFFICER Smith
of the Gulflight follows:
"One p. m, Saturday; heavy weather,
fifteen miles west of Bishop, flying large
American ensign. following British
patrol boats to Bishop. was torpedoed
without warning, Submarine was seen

minutes later. Nothing more seen of It,
