DENIES SINKING HESPER|in.
GERMANY REPUDIATES BLAME
FOR LOSS OF ENGLISH YES.
SELL
Submarines Were I'm
and Feels Sure That
Result OF Striking
tercly Recites InfOrma-
n Government.

German 6 lment, in a note from
the foref ; office to Ambassador
Gerard, - red at noon today,
made a fled disclaimer of re-
|sponsibili the sinking of the
steamer. hrian. On the face of
the evit thus far at hand the
government is satisfied that the Hes
perian was not sunk by German
submarine.
The communication is preliminary
note, which may be supplemented
when all the facts are established def
initely. The German government
states that, on the basis Of the in
formation thus far obtained, the
theory that the Hesperian was sunk
by German submarine apparently
ma, be abandoned absolutely.
1t is said that official records show
no submarine should have been in
the vicinity of the Hesperian when
she was blown up. Furthermore, the
explosion and the place in which the
steamship was struck, as set forth in
accounts of the disaster, indicate that
it was due to a mine.
The report does not profers to be
final, but is based on evidence SO con-
vincing to the government that it feels
safe in asserting the Hesperian could
not possibly have been attacked by
a German submarine.
The German position, as semi-offi-
cially stated, follows:
LAS We are informed from a COM
/ petent source, the news already re-
ceived, taken in connection with facts
officially known, seems to exclude
almost absolutely the possibility that
a German submarine could under
any circumstances have been con-
cerned in sinking the British pas
senger steamer Hesperian. ~
L. First according. to sthazzraaz<
ragned distribution, no GermHh stib-'
marine could have been on Septem-
Der in that part Of the ocean In
(which the Hesperian sank.
| Furthermore, the explosion, ac-
cording to descriptions received from
British sources, was of such a nature
as to indicate from it's effects that
it was rather that Of a mine than a
torpedo.
| The circumstance that, according
to these descriptions, the vessel was
struck near the bow and that the
bow compartments filled with water,
igoes to confirm this assumption"
The note contains also a paragraph
to the effect that all the submarines
that were at sea on September 4
have not yet returned, but that there
is no reason to expect the reports they
will supply will change the situation.
The note is simply a recital of the
facts as the German government sees
them without expression of sentiment
