 Maps were shown the correspondent marking points where German submarines had been sighted and on which the re- suits of tho attacks were classified un- der Captured, supposed sunk" and sunk" When bubbles are observed ris- ing for long time at the same point in smooth water, it is taken for granted that a submarines career has been end ed.
 When an officer was asked, How do you get them?' his answer was, Soma times by rammng. sometimes by gum fire, sometimes by explosions and other ways we will not tell of "
 All the officers aboard the battleships and armored cruisers are envious of those engaged in submarine hunts, which are regarded as great sport. The professional opinion was expressed that the reason the Germans are declared to be ready to forego submarine attacks on liners is the want of submarines and the personnel to carry on their cam paign.

WASHINGTON HEARS OF ATTACK 0N LINER WITH HAMAzEMENT Officials, However, Hasten to State Explanation By Germany Will Satisfy  PRESIDENT WILSON
 TAKES A LONG RIDE Suggested As Inconceivable That the Teutons Would Renew Submarine
 Warfare After the Promises
 Made to Secretary Lan-
 sing Recently

Washington, September 5.-Official Washington received news of the tor pedoing of the Allan liner Hesperian by German submarine with uncon- cealed surprise, though there was none of the grave anxiety that followed the sinking of the Arabic. Comment was withheld at both the White House and the state department, pending detailed reports, but it was learned that high officials regarded it as inconceivable, that after the assurances given by the German government last week, a Ger man submarine commander had with out warning launched torpedo at peaceful passenger vessel
 President Wilson and Secretary Lans- ing heard of the incident first through Associated Press dispatches Later cabled reports from Ambassador Page at Lon. don and Consul Frost at Queenstown an- nounced the torpedoing of the Hesperian with loss of about eight lives, none of them Americans Reports made pub lie by the state department made no mention of whether the vessel was warned or attempted to escape, but oth- CT advices indicated that while the Brit ish admiralty believed there had been no warning it would not announce it as n fact.
 Is Considered Significant
 Some significance was attached to Con su Frosts statement that the Hesperian carried mounted and visible on her stern a 47-inch rifle. While international law permits merchantmen to have guns for defensive purposes, particularly when they are of small calibre and mounted aft it was pointed out that if the AL Ian liner acted at all suspiciously after being approached the presence of the gun probably would figure prominently m the submarine commanders expIana- ton of the torpedoing.
 The President went for a long auto mobile ride after reading the press dis patches. Tonight he studied the brief of- hcial reports, remaining in his study all evening and seeing no callers.
 No one was in Washington to speak with authority for either the German or Austro-Hungarian governments Court Von Bernstorff, the German ampassaoor, left last week for the summer embassy at Cedarhurst, l.. T., happy in the be- lief that the strain upon relations be- tween his government and the United States had been lifted He had given Secretary Lansing assurances that Ger man submarines would sink no more liners without warning
 Await Explanation
 Remembering the oral and written words of the ambassador, as well as the unqualified declaration bv Foreisn Minister Von Jagow at Berlin that 1t was not the policy of Germany to sink passenger vessels without warning, Amer ican offiicals appeared confident that there would be satisfactory explain ation of the Hesperian in spite or the statements of her passengers that sne was torpedoed without warning.
 It was suggested in some quarters that perhaps the ship struck floating mine and in others that she must have at tempted to escape after being spoken by B submarine.

No submarine was seen and prob ably it was too dark to observe the wake of the torpedo, but passengers and members of the crew who arrived at Queenstown in rescue steamers to- day. agree that the attack was made by a German undersea boat, passing their opinion on the force of the shock |and the great volume of water thrown |into the air.
 The force of the explosion was tre- mendous. Of the passengers landed at Queenstown about 20 were injured. There were no American passengers aboard, so far as the American consul could learn Tonight but two members of the crew are Americans and both were saved. About 30 Canadian soldiers wounded in Flanders. were going home to recuper- |Canadians returning from visit to Eng land, or English people on their way to Canada to settle. A
 Discipline Is Perfect The torpedo struck the Hesperian in |the forward engine room and the ship Immediately began to settle by the head. |Captain Main ordered the passengers and |cers remained on the bridge although at that time he must have felt sure that his ship would go down. The discipline was perfect, but one boat capsized and those in her were thrown into the wa |ters. All were picked up and, with other passengers and the crew. were trans ferred to rescue steamers, which arrived In answer to wireless calls
 Passengers landed at Queenstown as- 0erted that the attack was without warning. The United States embassy here received no confirmation on this point. The American consul at Queens town telegraphed the embassy how ever. that there were one or two Arneri- cans aboard. adding that none was lost
 Many Wounded Canadian Soldiers
 The Hesperian. vessel of 10.920 tons gross. was outward bound from Liverpool for Montreal Many passer- gers were wounded. Canadian soldiers were on their way home from the front.
 The attack came just as darkness fell.
 
 town express the belief that she had been chased from a distance by sub marine, which fired as soon as it was within range. The attack came so suG- denly, it was stated, that great alarm vas felt aboard the steamer.
 The torpedo struck forward of the engine room, tearing away the for ward part of the ship so that water rushed into the forward compartments.
 Send out s. O.. s. Call
 The wireless operator instantly sent cut a. call for aid. while Captain Main ordered the boats over the side Three are said to have been upset in launch ing and 20 persons injured have been landed at Queenstown. So far as known all those thrown into the water were oaved.
 A fleet of rescue steamers soon reached the scene and all the, persons In the small boats were taken aboard. When It was seen that the Hesperian was likely to remain ahoat for some time Captain Main insisted on return ing to his ship to await the arrival of the admfraty tuGs. which he hopci could take her to Qheenstown. Twenty of his men went back with him.

Submarine Policy Failed

Arthur J. Balfour. first lord of the British admiralty, in a letter to the press. gives official recognition to the belief here that Germanys promise to America not to sink any more passenger ships without warning was brought about by the realization that the submarine warfare against merchantmen had failed. He again intimates that many German submarines have been accounted for and adds that British mercantile tonnage is now greater than before the war, despite submarine activity.
