Official News Created A Widespread
Sensation in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5th.-The
news official and otherwise, in Wash
ington that a German submarine had
torpedoed the Allen liner Hesperion,
last night off Fasnet produced wide
spread sensation.
Unoficially the white house and the
state department were informed of
the fact early in the day. Later a
message was received from Ambassa-
dor Page at London to the state de-
partment in which he gave no facts
and expressed no opinion. He said
that report was coming to the de-
partlnent from Queenstown.
The dangerous import of the news
was that on its face it appeared to be
direct contradiction of the assurances
given to the state department after
the sinking eff the Arabic that Ger
man submarines had been instructed
not to sink any liners and that the
proper provisions would be made for
the safety Of non-combatants in case
of any attacks by torpedo

ALLIES ONLY WAITING
RIGHT TIME TO STRIKE

PARIS, Sept 5.-Colonel Barone,
the famous Italian military critic,
who recently visited General Joffre,
makes the following disclosures:
"Some people, among them the
French supreme command, think that
in the present circumstances a gener-
al offensive on the western front
should be delayed in order that, once
begun, it can be carried out without
Interruptions.
"They are right. BY pushing her
advance into Russia, Germany is
marching to disaster, and it is. far bet
ter for the allies to await this event,
and then strike.
"That is show the France British
commanders reason, and far from be-
lieveing that they are abandoned to
their fate, the Russian general staff
thinks SO, too.

our entire and illimitable confidence"

fort to capture the port making it
their winter home preparatory. to
