 Attaches Arrive
 Though too late to be of material assistance to their stranded country men. Capts. William A. Castle and Alexander Miller, the American mil itary attaches arrived here today 10 confer with the American consul, Wes- q lev Frost They left in an automobile TOT kinsale Head to continue their in- vestigation in behalf of the gove1n- men1 Consul Frost has been indefat- igabe in assisting the American sur vivors and attending to their wants All identified American dead have been claimed by the consul even in cases where no requests from relatives have been received.
 Tle survivors are beginning to re- cover from their shock and told more {. coherent stories of their experiences today They had so little time for oE servation. however. that none of them can relate more than what happened near thtm, with the result that little tight has been shed on the last mo- mcnts of Alfred Gwynne Nandert it and other prominent passengers miss ing.
 Tie stories of Iifeboat inadequacy grow X number of survivors maintain that only five out of the S4 lifeboats swung out were launched successfully.
 Others assert that a general order for lowering the boats was not given until the second torpedo struck home. Vet all admit that as many passengers as possible obtained seats in the boats launched.
 Take No Action
 The American survivors have taken no action and have made no protest beyond supplying the American consul with afIidavits embodyng their eNncr- fences These survivors are dix ided, 1ouehly, into two classes--the fist class those who never believed in d possibility of tragedy and who were almost inarticu1atc with bitter hatred for Germany; the second. those who took the risk with their eyes open and therefore do not expect their coun- try to take drastic action on their ac- count. Perhaps the most prominent of the latter class is Dr. Howard l.. Fish CT of Washington, who, although ccn- demning the handling of the lifeboats -Sas grossly inefficient, said he knew he was rsl1ing his life in the war zone and accepted what had happened to him as q matter of course.
 eve were warned by the German government he said and l for one do not want any official action by my country"
 All express resentful anger that the British admiralty did not send con soy for the ship.
 A Cunard tender returned today from the scene of the disaster. She did not recover any more bodies, as the sc was too rough for picking up bodies.
