SHOWS SURPRISE
BUT NO ANXIETY
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON is NOT
GREATLY PERTURBED.
Officials Think There May Be Satisfac'
tory Explanation of Attack
Upon Allan Liner.

Washington, Sept 5.-Ofhcial Wash
ington received news of the torpedoing
of the Allan liner Hesperian by Ger
man submarine with unconcealed sur
prise, though there was none of the
grave anxiety that followed the sink
ing of the Arabic. Comment was with
held at both the White House and the
state department, pending detailed re-
ports, but it was learned that high Of
ficials regarded it as inconceivable
that after the assurances given by the
German government last week Ger
man submarine commander had with
out warning launched a torpedo at a
peaceful passenger vessel.
President Wilson and Secretary Ian
sing heard of the incident first through
Associated Press dispatches. Later ca
BILE reports from, Ambassador Page at
London, and Consul Frost at Queens
town announced the torpedoeing OF
the Hesperian with a loss of about
eight lives, none of them americans.
Reports made public by the state de-
partment did not mention whether the
vessel was armed or attempted to es-
cape, but other advices indicated that
while the British admiralty believed
there had been no warning it would
not announce it as fact.
Some significance was attracted to
Consul Frost's statement that the Hes
perian carried mounted and visible on
her stern a Al rife. While interna-
tional law permits merchantmen to
have guns for defensive purposes, par
ticular1y when they are Of small cali
bre and mounted aft, it was pointed
out that if the Allan liner acted at all
suspiciously after being approached
the presence of this gun probably
would figure prominently in the sub
marine commanders report Of the tor
pedoing.
No German official was in Washing
ton today, Ambassador Bernstorff hav-
ing left the city. He has given Sec
retary Lansing assurances that Ger
man submarines would sink no more
liners without warning.
Remembering the oral and written
words of the ambassador, as well as
the unqualified declaration by Foreign
Minister Won Jagow at Berlin that st
was not the policy of Germany to sink
passenger vessels without warning,
American officials appeared confident
there would be satisfactory explana-
ton of the Hesperian case in spite OF
the statements of her passengers that
she was torpedoed without warning.
It was suggested in some quarters
that perhaps the ship struck floating
mine and in others that she must have
attempted to escape after being spoken
