the torpedo OF the British ship Fall
aba by German submarine, brings up
before the United States government
a concrete case under the issues dealt
with in the Amr!can note OF warning
to Germany regarding her war zone
operations.
No report ON the fact that Thrasher
is missing and Is believed TO be dead,
has vet reached the State Depart
ment. Consequently the incident Is
not yet officially before this governs

1t is expected. however that An,bas-

made public here on February IL. an
nounced that the United States would
hold the German government to =

against the destruction of Americas

at that time interpreted as applying
TO Americans on British or French
vessels, as well as 10 Americans ON

Consequently the opinion prevails
