Getting New Evidence.
By Bond P. Geddes,

Washington, Nov. 15.-The admins
trotion faced today, apparently, the
problem of getting new evidence of its
own concerning the torpedoing Of the
Italian liner Ancona with loss of Amer.
lean lives. Austrian and Italian versions
of the affair contlicted. Austria claim.
ed it followed international law in its
procedure; Italy did not hold this view.
In view of Austria s acceptance of
responsibility, however, the suggestion
that Germany was the real offender
was swept away.
The administration, however, is re.
sgued to delay in determining the ex.
act facts, believing that Ambassador
Page at Rome and Penfield at Vienna
win get at the true state of affairs in
time.
The Interpretation of what is suf.
ficient time for passengers to leave a
ship about to be torpedoed furnished n
new and Rnotty problem. Hitherto, this
question had not appeared. Austria
maintained that As minutes was suf.
ficicnt time for passengers to disem-
bark. Moreover, there was more time
after the vessel had been torpedoed,
before she sank.
