BATrLEsRIPs IN PRETTY
RACE TO HELP SHIP.

Newport r. l., May 2s.--It was $40
o'clock this morning whom the bat
tleships received a radio that the Ryn-
dam and Cuneo were in trouble. This
message was received on the Louisiana.
flagship of the Fourth Division. that
was proceeding from the vicinity OF
Boston to Narragansett Bay. Admiral
Mclean, on the Louisiana, ordered the
ships of his division to put on all steam
and proceed to the location of the dis
tressed steamships.
This developed n pretty race be-
tween the Louisiana, Kansas. South
Carolina. Texas and Michigan. The
louisiana. being in the lead at the
start held that position for a while,
but the Kansas caught up and asked
IL she should pass. Signalled to do 10.
the Kansas took the lead, but was over
taken by the Texas, when the Ryndam
was only six hundred yards distant.
The passengers of the Ryndam had
already been taken of and the South
Carolina was ordered to take them and
proceed to New York. The other ships
were then ordered. after II had been
ascertained that tire was nothing that
could be done for the Ryndam, that ves-
to proceed to their destination. and
came into Narragansett Bay.
1t was between 10 and IL o'clock
when the battleships reached the Ryn-
dam. At that time the cuneo was some
distance away. The Ryndam. while
she seemed little settled In the water.
did not show many outward signs Of
the collision. There was some tar
paulins spread over her port side amid
ships. and her captain Informed the
Louisiana that one compartment was
flooded and that another was nlling.
The steamer, was then proceeding to
New York.

clever handling of the boats by the

precipitate a break with the United
States could explain a German sub
marine attack on the Nebraskan, for
the circumstances of the case make
IL quite the most fragrant offense yet
committed, so far as disregard OF law
is concerned. The Sebraskan was NY
ing the United States nag, as Is her
right: she was bound for her home and
not belligerent port; she had no con-
traband on board. Not only is there
bsolutely no excuse which could be
made for an attack on her but also
il Is the fact that no military purpose
whatever could have been served by
sinking her, Consequently If 1t is
established that the Nebraskan was
torpedoed by German submarine IL
viii be regarded here as wanton at

of the submarine, and I'm absolute vio-
lation OF all existing laws governing
rights of merchantmen on the high
seas
The only possible explanation seen
here today for the torpedoing of the
Nebraskan--if that proves to be the
facts that 1t was IA mistake on the
part of the submarine commander. 1t
lis not believed here that submarine
commander could easily have made
such q mistake. but IL Is admitted as
a possibility. The explosion occurred

Nebraskan must have been plainly

notice that her course was away from

hut. N officials find IL difficult
to believe that the Nebraskan was
toFpedoed. they also find It not
as easy to accept the mine theory.
The sea area where the Ncbraslxan
was struck Is In the main fair way
of the British commerce, and
never has been mined by the
British; In fact the waters of this
area are too deep for mine fields
Ii IL not considered reasonable
that the British would strow float
ing mines In the pathways Of their
own commerce and. furthermore.
the British have declared that
they were not using floating
mines.
The Nebraskan was due to arrive at |
Norfolk not later than Tune to take |
on a cargo OF coal to be carried to the |,
Pacific coast for the navy. The navy's |
contract was with the ID. B, Dearborn |
