Preliminary Note

The communication is preliminary

all The facts in connection with the
Hesnerian incident are established def
nitely The German government states
that on basis of the information thus
med The theory thai the Hes
PEI. was sunk 10y a German sub
marine apparently may be abandoned
absolutely.
Mine Indicated
Il is said that official records show
no submarine should have been in the
vicinity Of the Hesperian a. the time
she was blown up. Furthermore the
roint IS made that the violence OF the
explosion and the place in which the
steamship was struck as set forth IN
the accounts of the disaster, indicate
that il was due TO mine.
The report does not profess 10 be
final. but is based on evidence SO con-
vincing 10 the government that It teels
safe in asserting the Hesperian couid
not possibly have been attacked by
German submarine
The German Position
The German position as semi Off
cfally stated. follows
As we are Informed from compe-
tent source, the news already received
-aken in connection with facts off,
cially known seems TO EXCLUDE almost
absolutely the possibility that Ger
man submarine could under any cir
cnmstances have been concerned IN
sinking the British passenger steamer
Hesperian
Firstly. according 10 the prear-
ranged distribution. no German SUD
marine could have been on Sept. 4th
in that part of the ocean in which the
Hesperian sank.
.F,,rthermore. the explosion accord
inr to descriptions received from Brit
ish sources. was Of such nature as 70
indicste from its effects that ii was
rather of a mine than torpedo.
THE circumstances that, according
TO these descriptions, the vessel was
struck near the bow and that the DO"
compartment filed with water goes 10
confirm this assumption
The note contains, in addition TO the
statement thus made semi officially,
q paragraph to the effect that all the
srhrna rines that were at sea on Sept
have not yet returned, but that there
is no reason. to expect that the reports
which they will supply will change the
situation.
The note is a simple recital OF the
facts as the German government sees
them without any expression Of senti-
men1 or comment on the German sub
marine policy.
