The torpedoing Of the steamship
GulAiCht is now established as due -
a German submarine. The commander
Of the submarine has reported 20 the
Admiralty and stated that when he
first saw the Gul1ight' she was being
conveyed by two patrol boats. and he
concluded that she must be British
vessel or was carrying contraband.
The presence Of the patrol boats, the
commander said, made closer investl-
cation dangerous.
The main points Of the German re

The American Ambassador has had
daily conferences at the Foreign Office,

called at the American Embassy this
morning to explain certain technical
details of Germany's position relative
to submarine warfare.

Rome. May 2S With the arrival Of
King Victor Emmanuel at headquar-
ters the preliminary stage Of the war
has ended and an era Of active opera
lions begun. The celebrity with which
this has been reached is due to the
fact that the Italian army and feet
were practically modified and even
concentrated before war was declared.
The royal proclamation ordering a
general mobilization was a mere for
mality, ~ Il only called up the last
classes Of reserves. The Kings order
Of the day TO the troops excited gen
cral enthusiasm. on account Of the
absence OF all fanfarOnade and the
cool and courageous determination TO
conquer Il revealed.
But wha, gives confidence Is the com
plete realization OF the stern TASK
which confronts the Italian army. His
declaration, The enemy which you
are called on 10 combat is experienced
in war and is worthy Of you; IT IS
favored by the country and by strong
military works Of all kinds; he Will
oppose a tenacious resistance, but this
y
table clan" has true soldierly ring
and in its courageous simplicity IN
striking contrast TO the vltupeTatlve
proclamation OF the Emperor Of Aus
tria.
The preliminary successes greatly
encouraged the Italian public though
no one attaches undue Importance 70

ing.
No signs are yet apparent OF what
Will be the Italian main attack. At
present the entire Austrian frontier is
threatened from the Swiss frontier 70

Washington, May p. Naval experts
here were much surprised at the report
printed in The Berliner Tageblatt'
that the German submarine which tor
pedoed the Triumph had made the trip
from Germany TO he Dardanellcs, via
Gibraltar, under its own power, and
without touching at a supply station.
An officer who is regarded as an cx-
pert on submarines declared that 1t was
quite possible for one TO have made the
trip. though he did not think she could
come back again without getting sup
plies.
The bigger submarines can travel
from 1000 to 5000 miles without taking
on supplies" he declared. "Of course,
