Washington. July 17.-News Of tho
attack on the Cunarder Orduna upsets
the theory Of some officials here that
Germany, while not yielding in the
American diplomatic demands that un-
armed ships be warned OF attacks IN
accordance with international law, was
In practice observing that procedure.
On that theory much hope had been
built for the successful effort Of the
diplomatic Representations brpught
about by the Lusitania disaster. In
support OF their theory. officials had
pointed sgout that the British ships
Armenian and Anglo California, on
both OF which American lives were
lost. were warned before attacked. In
asmuch as both attempted to escape
and only one actually did-the United
States held it could give its subjects in
those cases no relief.
The view that Germany was now con-
Quoting her submarine warfare In ac-
cordance with the principles for which
the United States contends, has been
so confidently entertained in official
quarters that the attack on the Orduna
came as little less than shock. Only
yesterday Count Won Bernstorff, tho
German ambassador expressed this
confidence to Secretary Lansing that
there would not be another disaster
like the Lusitania's.
