SUIT OF LATEST SEA
INCIDENT.

Western Newspaper Union News Services.
New York, July 2O.-The Cunard
liner Orduna, bound from Liverpool to
New York, with 227 passengers, in
Guiding % Americans, was attacked
without warning. It was learned on her
arrival here Saturday. by a German
submarine on the morning Of July 8.
Twenty miles from the graveyard
of the Lusitania off Old Head Kinsale,
the Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one-half second Of time or ten
feet of space-the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder.
Then the Orduna sped away. She
was followed by the submarine, which
rose to the surface, manned a gun on
her deck and shelled the fleeing
steamer. Only the escape of the Or
duna prevented a repetition Of the Luz
sitania disaster which precipitated the
crisis between the United States and
Germany.
The attack on the Orduna was
timed at ten minutes TO SIX O'CLOCK III
the morning when all but a few of her
passengers lay sleeping in their
berths.
London.-An Austro = German ulti-
matum to Rumania is being prepared,

that has developed between the United

Should first reports of an attempt to
torpedo without warning be borne out
by the official investigation it was
indicated in official quarters that the
United States probably would regard
he incident as adding a grave element

tween the two countries.
