Indications Point to Torpedoing
of Leelanaw as Similar Case
to That of VIM. P. Frye
DETAILS OF ATTACK
STILL INDEFINITE
Generally Felt That Amy Day
May Bring Forth German
Action Which Will Force
America to Decisive Step

Washington, July 26.--Indica-
lions are that the torpcdotng OF
the American steamship Leeia-
nav by a German submarine on
the coast OF Scotland yesterday
will constitute a case similar o
that OF the Frye, now subject
of controversy with Germany.
and that IT will not be regarded
.as 1.-THE deliberately unfriendiy
acfr of which President Wilson
gave warning In his last note.
No definite statement can be made
in this regard, however, until the de-
tails of the torpedoing OF the Ameri-
can vessel are received. Both the
unofficial and official reports leave II
In doubt whether the Leelanaw was
given notice of an intent to torpedo
her and her officers and crew given
opportunity to take to the ships boats.
On this point the attitude of the
United States toward the case will
hang.
Comes as O Shock.
Nevertheless, the report that the
American ship had been torpedoed,
coming on the heels of the resump-
ton of activities by the German SUBJ
marines and reports of the unfavor-
able reception OF the American note.
caused a shock here today. It Ia felt
that any day Is likely to bring case
which under the terms of the note
sent to Berlin last week will force the
President to take decisive action.
The torpedoing OF the Leelanaw was
officially reported to the State De-
partment late today by Consul Denni-
son at Dundee. The consul stated
only that the vessel had been tor
pedoed, that the crew had been land
ed at Krkwall. Scotland and as the
they were proceeding to Dundee. The
United States has only a consular
agent at Kirkwall, so no detailed re-
port of the case is expected until the
survivors of the Leelanaw have
reached Dundee.
Hesitate to Express Themselves.
Althouh they hesitated today, In the
absence OF details, to construe the act
as coming within the warning of the
last American note. which pointed
out that further violation of interna-
tional law affecting American citizens
would be regarder as deliberately I'M
friendly" the view taken was that
Germany, in effect, had ignored and
disregarded an earlier note sent in
connection with the shaking of the
American sailing ship William P.
Frye by the German cruiser Prinz
E1IIbi FTSuefiCn.
Protected by Treaty.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted its position
that even though an American ship
carried contraband of war II was Pc
protected from destruction by
the stipulations of the Prussian- Amer
lean treaty of 1898.
