heavy fighting along that river.

parallel to the Gnila Lipa further east

Washington Awaits Facts.
The news created a sensation in of
fetal quarters, as it was the first case
of loss of American lives since the
sinking of the Lusitania The gravity
of the incident, however, and the
action of the Washington government
depends almost entirely on whether
the Armenian was chartered by the
British Government and was, in fact
a transport of war aboard which
Americans would sail at their own
risk or whether she was an unarmed
merchantmen
In the latter case, even though
carrying contraband, the ship could
have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred to
a place of safety before the destruc-
ton of the vessel was attempted.
In the absence of official informa-
ton on these points officials declined
to say what effect the sinking of the
Armenian would have on pending ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany.
Americans Took Risk.
Offhand opinions among department
officials pointed clearly to justification
on the part of Germany in sinking the
vessel 1t was said unofficially that
the horses and mules were consigned
to the British Army; that the vessel
was either an auxiliary of the British
Navy or else chartered by the Govern
ment for the transportation of war
munitions. Horses and mules are in
disputably contraband, and are so held
by all the belligerent governments.
Any American who has accepted
service on such ship or who might
venture upon 1t as a passenger would
do so, it was explained by officials, at
his own risk and would have little if
any redress through this Government
for injuries sustained. In other words,
it is not apparent tonight that the sink
ing of the Armenian will create any
additional friction between the United
States and Germany.

Just because an Oregon scientist de-

is no reason, of course, why young
