EXPLAINS ATTACK
ON LINER ORDUNA
Weather Heavy and Captain Was
Unable to Identify Ship, So He
Fired at 1t on Suspicion.
VIOLATED ORDER, SAYS MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-Ger-
many's explanation of the unsuccess-
full attempt to destroy the Cunard
liner Orduna on July 8 is that the
submarine commander violated his
instructions, which were not to at
tack any liner, but that because OF
the weather he was unable to make
cut the class or nationality Of the
orduna.
The ordunA. bound from Liverpool to
New York. with some 200 passengers, of
whom twenty-five were Americans. was
attacked by a torpedo. which barely
missed II, and then was shelled by the
submarine until IL was out of range
To substantiate the statement that the
German commander was inclined to fol-
low his orders, 1t is stated that he soon
after allowed the steamer Normandle,
carrying cargo OF lumber. TO pass un-
molested.
The German explanation. which comes
in the form of a note, was laid before
President Wilson today by Secretary
Lansing and may figure in discussion Of
the submarine issue with Count Won
Bernstorff- the German ambassador.

German Ambassador
Has Conference with
Secretary Lansing

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13-Count Won
Bernstorff conferred with Secretary Ian
sing at noon today. Mr.. Lansing before
seeing the ambassador. went to the White
House to talk with tho president. 1t IL
probable that the ambassador win have
an audience with the president later. but
the time has not been fixed.
Ambassador Bernstorfts conference
with Secretary Lansing lasted just half
an hour. Al its conclusion as he left the
State department he told inqulrerS
Il really cannot say anything about
what / said to the secretary OF about
what he said to me, That rests with Sec
retary Lansing"
The ambassador made'it clear. however,
that the situation had not come 10 an inn
passe. From his manner some OF his
questioners inferred that his conference
with the secretary forecasts a favorable
outcome and that probably arbitration
might be agreed upon.
Secretary Lansing. like the ambassador.
refused TO discuss his conference in any
way. The inference which officials al
lowed to go out was that the negotiations
were. so far, proceeding Amieably and
were awaiting further developments be-
tween Washington and Berlin.

COMMISSION IS D1sHEARTENED

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Finin-
ciers of the west and northwest came
to New York today to lend a helping
hand to the Anglo-French financial
commissioners i seir task of arrang-
ing a wa,- A ch Great Britain
and Fr- 10y for the hundreds
of sS dollars worth OF i'm
.cNSdy shipped abroad and
SSSast amounts contracted for

IeS'The first OF these arrivals was James ].
I'M, railroad builder and financier OF st.
Paul Mr. Hill was said TO be provided
with data upon which he based his be-
lief that the flotation OF a mammoth
credit loan here 70 Great Britain and
France Is OF more vital interest. perhaps,
to the United States than to the two
countries seeking the loan.
Festus j. Wade of ST. Louis. prominent
IN financial circles in the west was an
other out-of-town banker who was reg
istered here today. Bankers from Chi
cago and Cincinnati also were said to be
in town on. their way here.
The commission, Il is understood, was
not ali heartened by the result OF the pre-
liminary canvass of financial institutions
throughout the country a few weeks ago.
This canvass showed. according to reli-
able reports. that not more than 100000
600 or S1500Oo.0O0 could have been sub
scribed toward the proposed foreign credit
loan at that time. The minimum amount
sought by the commission is $500 OoO, 600
Recently the talk has been OF a 81. .0Oo. .0Oo,-
900 loan.
Aid, therefore. from out OF town finan
ciers and a general realization of the close
communion between the establishment OF
the credit and the continuance without
check of the great volume of American
exports were welcomed by the commits
, sion and local financiers alike. The sem
timent voiced I'm wall street today was
that the time had come for the bankers
of the country and every one else inter
ested in the continuance OF American
prosperity to help the commission in ac-
oomplishing its task.
The commission cloaked its movements
today and even it's whereabouts with Sc
crecy 1t was said that a meeting was
being held, but where or with whom was
not divulged.
Later in the day 1t developed that the
meeting was between the commission and
]. p. Morgan. Henry p. Davidson Of the
Morgan firm. and Frank A. Vanderlip,
president Of the National City bank.
Messrs. Morgan. Davidson and Vanderlip
called at the Hotel Biltmore. where the
commissioners are staying. and were the
0ommis sioners' luncheon guests. Tho con-
ference tasted well into the afternoon.
The commission late 'oday deviated
from its policy Of having American
financiers call to see them at their head
quarters by sending Sir Babbington
Smith on their behalf TO the office of
James ]. Hill, railway builder and finan-
cier, to obtain from him his views on
the proposed big credit loan.
