was issued May IL at the American
embassy:
"As to the sinking of the ship (Lu-

ments which have been secured that
no warning was given. A torpedo hit
amidships on the s%tarboard side, and
the ship listed because Of the longi.

the port air spaces remaining intact.
Later she righted,
THE sinking was In 60 fathoms. and
the captain believes her nose touched
the bottom before her stern disap-
peared, accounting for the slight sue
ton.
ut seems from reports rather du.
bious whether a second torpedo struck
the ship.

occurred at 2:23 o'clock.

whether n~aturalized or not. In many
towns premises occupied by Germans
have been damaged or destroyed, and
even the exchanges in London and

There have been riots in Liverpool,
Manchester, Sanford and Birkenhead.
In Liverpool Germans have been in

subjects OF Great Britain have been

internment.
