TORPEDOSENT
To
BOTTOMOFSEA
Navy Department Has An
nounced Definite Conclu-
sion to That Effect.
AZ AssoCIATED Press.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Secretary
Lansing announced today that the
navy department had definitely es-
tablished the fact that the fragment
of the engine of war which sank the
Allan liner Hesperian was a part of a
torpedo. The German government
has persistently denied that the Hes
perian was torpedoed.
From the opinion of the United
States naval experts, the fragment
could not have been a part of a ma
rine mine.
The secretary said the result of the
navy departments investigation
would Immediately be communicated
either to the German government di-
rectly or to Ambassador Bernstorff.
The secretary volunteered no in
formation regarding what form the
communication to the German gov
eminent might take.
Germany has made to the United
States a qualified disclaimer of re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the
Hesperian. In a note to Ambassador
Gerard on September ID, the foreign
Office said that on the face of the evil
dence then at hand, Germany was
satisfied that the Hesperian was moi
sunk by q German submarine.
TIE fragment of metal examined b
The nary department expe rs was sait
to have been picked from The decl
of the Hesperian after the explosion
The Hesperian sank early in Septem
Der off the Irish coast while making
! her way to port after being disable,
by the explosion. The fragment wa
made of polished steel, and was abou
nine inches long. 1t was sent to tn,
state department by the American
embassy at London.
The state department had been il
doubt regarding the direct cause O
the sinking of the Hesperian. A
number of affidavits from passenger
and officers of the ship have been re
ceived. The signers swore that thu
ship had been torpedoed. The frag
ment metal was sent along as proc
that the statements in the affidavit
were true.
The position of the United States
has been to take no steps to ques
ton the good faith of Germany's as
surances unless it was shown clearl!
that the sinking was in violation o.
them. The president and Secretar!
Lansing have been reluctant to be
lieve that the Hesperian was sunl
deliberately without valid excuse.

In Poland are

81 AssocIArEp PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 80. - Ger
many has asked the German Ameri-
can commission for relief in Belgium
to undertake m Poland relief meas
ures similar TO those raken q Sell
GUM.
Officials Of the state department
have been informed that the commits
sion have been told that between
twenty and thirty millions of people
in that part of POLAND occupied by
German troops are destitute. To
adequately care for them would
mean, it is said, an expenditure of
approximately S30,00U,000 a month.
Substantial negotiations are said to
be proceeding.
In addition to financing such re-
lief measures, it was pointed out to-
day that the commission would have
considerable trouble in regard to
transportation and distribution of
supplies and clothing. All danger of
having relief supplies confscated by
men under arms, or of supplies never
reaching destination, was said to
have been overcome. The arrange
ment would be- the same as that
which prevailed inBergium. q
The state department will not have
to be consulted should the commits
sion finally decide to undertake the
work. Germany and Russia are re-
ported willing that sucn work should
be placed in the hands of Americans.

With q close that was pleasing to
all aseept thaae who y esr 30 oveS-
worked, the last ftfy aax for the
Escanbia County tF'air came to an
end last night al s o'clock, and ex-
hibits in every department are al
most beyond description. That the
people viii see what really prolific
county Escambia is, there is no doubt
for the diversified exhibits Of prod
ucts is surprising in their splendor.
For several reasons, the time for
the entry of exhibits did not come to
close week ago, ard the idea of
keeping the time for the entries open
for another week was happy
thought, and the same is richly re-
warded, for countless exhibits have
been conveyed to Kuprrfan's park
during the past week, and really
space was at real premium in some
of the departments. That the fair
will impress favorably all who at
tend, will be allowed to go unques-
toned, and the attendance is expect
ed to be in the record-breaking class.
Such, at least, is the hope of the di-
rectors who have co-operated with
General Manager Lillard and the re-
suit is a fair equal if not surprising
any ever held here. This will be the
first purely county fair, and there
has been no especial effort to induce
out-of-the-county exhibitors.
OPEN AT 8 A. NJ.
The fair grounds win open each
morning for admission OF the general
public at 8 o'clock, and will be kept
open until midnight If the patronage
so requires. Cars will be operated to
the last hour, the last one to depart
after midnight if necessary to take
care of the crowds.
The car service will be az near up
to every requirement of the Pensa-
cola public as possible. Care viii be
operated through the city beginning
at o'clock in the morning, and viii
be run in twos, threes or tours If
the patronage so demands. In fact,
the transportation quesrIon viii be
easily settled.
In addition to the electric company,
the road to the park has been put in
good condition, and hundreds of au-
tos, motorcycles, buggies, etc, are
expected to make a trip TO the fair
grounds during the week.
Admission viii be on the follow
