WASHINGTON is WORRIED
OVER ORDUNA INCIDENT

40nrtA11oGtS9Go pHk4t1
~ WASHINGTON. July 17-Into the
grave situation that has developed
between the United States and Ger
many over the sinking of the Lusi-
tania was thrust another issue to-day
when it was revealed that the British
steamer, Orduna, carrying score OF
Americans, had been attacked by 2
German submarine.
Should first reports of an attempt
to torpedo without warning be borne
out by the official investigation about
to be installed it was Indicated In
official quarters that the United
States probably. would regard the in
cfdent as adding q grave element to
the already strained relations be-
tween the two countries.
Lacking information as to the cir
cumstances of the attack, officials
were unable to predict tonight to
what extent the Orduna case would
aggravate the situation; but they
thought the question would certainly
compel a serious situation by Presf-
dent Wilson and his cabinet in for
mulating the next step in the policy
tivities of German submarines and
the safety Of Americans on the high
seas.
In official quarters news OF the at
tack on the orduna came as a shock
for it had been confidently believed
as a result of the informal express
sion Of Count Won Bernstorfr, the
German ambassador, and press de-
spatches from Berlin concerning the
care being exercised by German sub
marines that Americans on board
passenger VESSELS at least would be
safe from attack. The incident In
creased the general uneasiness which
has been felt since the last German
note failed to give the assurances
asked for by the United States.
