In the North Sea and Damaged,
Wires Minister Vandyke
al The Hague.
BUT NO LIVES ARE LOST
First American Vessel to Be
Struck by Bombs in the
Present War.
a., .sseerA4xe r-xss

WASHINGTON. May 1-American
Minister Vandyke at The Hague re
ported TO the state department To-Day
that the American steamer, Cushing
from Philadelphia for Rotterdam was
damaged by bombs dropped from ar
craft in the North sea but that no
lives were lost.
The report was brief transmitting
a message from the American consul
lar Rotterdam where the Cushing ar
rived yesterday. 1t gave no indication
of the nature or the extent OF the
damage.
oficials here said-the case was the
first of its kind during the present
war and that SO faI as they could
recollect there was no Or. cedent IN
other wars. While mere re no fntr-
national conventions specifically cover
ing the inciGent it was generally be-
feved today that representations
would be made TO Germany with re-
uest for payment of damages on the
ground that neutral vessel, which
under the ordinary rules of interna-
tional law, should be free from moles-
tation, had been attacked. 1t was not
thought IN official quarters that any
serious issue would be raised because
it is accepted that the bombs were not
dropped deliberately but under the
Impression that hostile vessel was
being attacked.
The Gushing had S419. 900 insur-
ance on its hull and cargo issued by

German registry and named the
