GernansM Made U.S..
Ship Act as Shield
Crcw of american Bark Tells OF
Sinking Of Russian
Steamer.

LIVERPOOL. July 13.-How an
American ship is alleged to have been
used as shield by a German sub
marine for sinking another vessel is
the story Of the crew of the American
bark Normandy, here from Gulfport,
Miss.
Their story is tina, the Normandy was
stopped by the German on the Irish
coast on Friday night. The captain
was called aboard the submarine,
whore his papers were found to show
that the ship was chartered by an
American firm.
The captain. II was asserted, was
allowed 10 return to the Normandy,
but under the threat that his ship
would be destroyed unless he stood by
and obcycd orders. These orders, 1t
was stated. were that he was to act
as shield for the submarine, which
lay around the side Of the bark, hiding
itself from an approaching vessel
This vessel was the Russian steamer
Leo Presently the submarine sub
merged and proceeded around the bow
OF the Normandy. SO the story went.
and ten minutes later the crew of the
Normandy saw the Leo blown up.
twenty-five persons were on boarc
drowned. including three stcwardesses

Clark. Of Sierra. and Harry whitney, OF

The Leo was bound from Philadelphia
for Manchester with general cargo.
The Normandy's captain told tho
survivors he would like to, have sig
nailed their danger 10 them, but tina,
he dared not TO do so because his un-
insured ship would then have beer
sunk

WASH1NGTON, July l2.-Secrctary OF

pairing, data and opinions for the
American reply to the latest note on
submarine warfare. He indicated that
he probably would not 60 to Cornish
n H., hut that President Wilson would
return here at the end of the week.
The situation was described in official
quarters as critical, and there was no
concealment of the fact that relations
between Germany and the United States
had become more strained than Mt any
time in their history
High oficials said the policy of the
American government would he workod
out carefully, and that to meet tho
situation firmly the utmost deliberation
was required. This information was
given out that delay of possjhIv a
week or more in preparing an answer
might not be misinterpreted as mean
ing that the United States intended to
recede from the position taken in the
two notes already sent to Berlin.
There was much informal discussion
among ofhcials OF the contents OF the
German note. The trend of their onin
