ITALIANS SAY AT-
 TACK ATROCI1Y
Probable That Entire Submarine Question, Including Obliga- ti0ns of Commanders, will be Taken up With Austria.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Secretary Lansing personally received today from Machi di Cellere, the Italian ambassador communication address, ed to all neutral nations, denouncing as an unparalleled atrocity the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona with SCOT es of neutrals and other non-combat- ants aboard.
 As yet Ambassador Penfeld has not been instructed to call at the Vienna foreign office for information but he probably will be shortly in view of the issuance of statement by the Aus Hungarian admiralty describing the attack.
 Upon receipt of the facts as stated in Vienna the Washington govern ment will consider whether any rights of American citizens have been violat- ed. The admiralty statement is at variance with that of Italy. It de- clares that the Ancona attempted to escape and only after repeated she'll ing was brought to stop. It is fur ther claimed that the passengers and crew were given forty-fve minutes to escape in small boats and the charge that the submarine fired on boats is denied.
 While officials are disinclined to comment in view of the contradictory statements the belief is that the en- tire question of the submarine war fare and the obligations of sub marine commander to see that neu- trals are in a place of safety before destroying a prize will be taken up by the United States with the Aus trian government.

URGES CITY AID TO
MAINTAIN HARBOR
Congressman Miller Before
Council Tonight Will
Advocate Appropriation
TEN PER CENT. OF WHAT
GOVERNMENT GIVES

Congressman Thomas W. Miller will
appear before City Council tonight to
urge that body. to appropriate money
for the deepening and maintenance
of the Christiana river harbor.
Unless the city of Wilmington con-
tributes a proportionate share of the
cost of harbor maintenance. Congress-
man Miller fears the Federal Gov
ernment will cut off its appropria-
tions for that purpose, and the Chris
tiana will shoal and not be navigable
to deep-draught BOATS.
In order that the Delaware delegation
may be strengthened in their fight
for Federal appropriations for Chris
tiana harbor, Congressman Miller has
taken the situation in hand now and
will endeavor to have the city to do
its share that the government engi-
neers expect il to do
Under an ordinance passed in 1901,
the city is required to appropriate
an amount equivalent TO ten per cent.
Of the amount spent by the Federal
Government for the maintenance OF
the harbor. the city's appropriation
to be turned over to the United States
engineers to be expended.
Up to the present time the Federal
government has appropriated 1854 900
for the Christiana harbor since 1901.
and the city has appropriated $4,000
of the S55000 II is required to appro-
pirate. The last two river and har-
Dor have been left TO the army en-
gineers the allotment of Federal ap-
preparations to rivers and harbors,
and Congressman Miller fears viii
mington's harbor may suffer if the
engineers find the city is not living
up TO its agreement.
Consequently he sent the following
communication yesterday to Council.
and arranged to appear before Coun-
Gil tonight:
Wilmington. Del. June 9. 1915.
Hon. William p White. President
Of City Council. the City Hall.
Dear Sir:-I am writing to re-
quest the privilege of appearing
before Council on the subject Of
an appropriation by the city of
Wilmington for Rivers and Har-
hors work in the Christiana River
i'll accordance with an act of the
General Assembly assed March
9, 1901. at Dover.
A certain phase Of the situation
has come to my attention which
may be embarrassing 10 the rep
resentatives OF this State at
Washington when the question
comes up in the future as to ap-
propriatiOns for work in the
Christiana River. II is of the
utmost Importance for the future
of this city that the interest of
the United States government be
eXerted on behalf of Christiana
River improvements TO the full
est extent. feel il my duty to
request the privilege aforemen-
toned so that / can lay the mat
ter before Council.
If Thursday evening. the tenth
inst, will be satisfactory to your
honorable body Twill be very
glad to be on hand at that time.
Very truly yours,
