German submarine was observed about
three miles out gliding along eastward.
The vessel was partly submerged and her
deck was swept Within a few minutes
the submarine plunged suddenly beneath

at is probable that she hit 4 mine and
the reports heard at West Hastings were
the explosion OF the mine and a subse-

The crew of the British steamer Con-

submarine of Beachy Head late yester-
day. was landed at Dover today. The

country from Tokyo to tho effect that
the inquiry OF the United States re-

issues which have been raised between
Japan and China, the President made
1t clear that this government does not
regard the points concerning which in
formation has been sought as OF minor
importance.
It was learned, furthermore, that re-
ports from Japan that replies made to
the inquiries of the United States have
had the result of satisfying this gov
eminent completely are baseless. As
a matter of fact, IL was said that the
reply of Japan has not yet been re.
