GERMAN TORPEDOES
SINK FRENCH CRAFT

London, April 12.-The French

100 yards from off shore and signalled
her to heave to.
The submarine commander shouted
that he would give the crew of the
sailing vessel ten minutes to get over
the sides. Then, according to Cap
tain Grondin, the German commander
pulled out his watch, counted off the
minutes and ordered three torpedoes
shot against the bark's side as the
crew was pulling away in two boats.

To VIGOROUSLY DENY
THE GERMAN CHARGES

Washington, April 12.-Vigorous de-
nial, il is said will be made by the
American government that it had
virtually acquesced in the British
order-in-council prohibiting trade with
Germany, as intimated by the German
government in note complaining of
the United States failure in its nego-
tations with the allies to obtain for
American exporters the right to ship
foodstuffs to the civilian population
of a belligerent Work of preparing
the American reply already has been
begun.
Germany contends that regardless
of formal aspects of the question OF
arms shipments to belligerents the
spirit of neutrality should be observ-
ed and in support of this contention
reference is made to utterances OF
President Wilson before congress, in
which he said that shipment of arms
into Mexico would be forbidden.
Officials point out that the relations
between the United States and Mex
leo cannot be compared TO those with
the European belligerents and that
the president is without legal means
to exercise the same authority with
reference to the belligerents.
The American government main
tains that its position regarding arms
shipments has all along been enforc-
ed impartially as to all belligerents.
