He was asked immediately upon hs arrival as to what action he would take with reference to the sinking of the American chip Gull flight oa the British coast, but refus- ed to make any comment.
 lt 10 assumed here that Che Presi- dent will take personal charge Of the grave situation that has grown out of the slnklns of the American vee- gel.
 PROBABLY GROSS cARELEssNEss
 Officials here and those experts who are in close touch with the situation are inclined to attribute the torpedo ing Of the eulfllsht to gross careless ness, or to a mistake Of the command CT Of tho submarine.
 MORE SERIOUS THAN FRYE.
 Whatever the circumstances, how ever it ls admitted that the Incident Is much more serious than the attack made upon Che American ship William p. Frye In the Pacific. lt raises quea- tions of even greater gravity that the death of l.. C. Thrasher, who perlshed when the Falaba was torpedoed.
 The American government several weeks ago notified the German gov ernment that the United States would hold that country to strict account ability for the loss of American lives and ships, and now both have been sacrificed in the submarine blockade.
