Lansing Still Uncertain As To Whether Submarine That Sank the Liner Was German or Austrian Yes sel- Capital Gets Series of Gable Reports.

Washington, Nov. 45-Am- bassador Thomas Nelson Page, at Rome, cables that his con ferences at the Italian foreign office thus far have failed to develop the details or facts concerning the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona.
 The Italian government, ac- cording to MT. Page, is having considerable difficulty in estabz fishing just what happened when the vessel went down. An investigation is under way. however, and as soon as its re- suits are known, MT. Page will communicate it to Washington.
 As cetary Lansing has been waiting to learn whether it was a German or Austrian submarine which destroyed the Ancona and therefore, has not in structed either Ambassador Gerard or Ambassador Penfield to call at Ser lin and Vienna foreign offices respec- lively, to ask for information.
 It appeared today, however that in order to obtain officially such infor- nation as is in the possession Of the ernla,n and Austrian goveTssFrn ents. an- structions might be sent to inquire of the admiraIties
 The most official information on the Ancona yet to reach the state depart ment arrived today by cable from Ambassador Sharp at Paris who trans nitted telegrams to the French min 1ster of marine from the prefect at Bizerta. They follow:
 November Tone hundred ship wrecked persons, of which six were wounded, from Ancona torpedoed Sunday noon, brought to Bizerta.
 November SITwo torpedo boats this evening brought 21 survivors and four bodies to BizeI ra~ Survivors are 163 out of 48O and are being cared for at Sidi Adba1lah fospraI. The sub- marine which sank the Ancona, ac- cording, to cOncordant information re- l ceived by me, was from so to 100 metres long and armed with two fair 1y large guns forward and two smaller ones aft.
 .'November 9-A boat from the An coma arrived this forenoon at Cape Bon with 28 persons, bringing total survivors to 1S7. Of the 161 cared for at Sidi Abbullah one is an Amer ican woman, '16 are GreeKs and the balance Italians.
 f'November 9-Two of Ancona's boats have just arrived, one at Zem- bra with 28 survivors and the other at Tunis with 37 others. Total survivors 232."
 This was all the official information in the hands of the French govern ment.
 Other messages reaching state de- partment today throw no light on the incident and are largely duplicated news despatches.
 State department officials say that the\ department has not received the Italian governments communication to neutral governments, denying that the Ancona carried any arms, contra band of persons in belligerent service.

Pope Benedict Directs Cardinal to Lend SuccOr to

/ Rome. Nov. 15.-The air raid upon Verona, which resulted in the death of 80 civilians and the wounding of 49 others, has intensified the bitterness felt in Italy against Austria. The Idea Naziona1e demands prompt reprisals, suggesting that all Germans in Italy be 1nterned in concentration camps, that Austro- German property be con fscated and that 35, 900 Austrian pris- onersS be held as hostages.

for the United States to do
something" in protest against
the raYaging Of Belgium.
Has the moment not arriy-
ed" he asks, when we must
speak out and put an end to
German insolence."
1t is a cry for America to
enter the war in behalf Of the
allies. On the other hand
there are good and well mean
ing Americans who think we
should "do something" to stop
British "insolence." " They
would have US array ourselves
on the side Of the kaiser and
against the allies.
The answer Of course is that
we will take no part in the con
flict except to protect Ameri
can interests and the common
rights Of humanity. Respect
for these considerations we
demand from both sides in the
war game.
America does and should
stand for America-not for
any European state. How RI
