SINKING OF HESPERlAN
DlSCLAIMED BY GERMANY
Note Delivered to Ambassador Gerard
Makes Qualified Statement of
RrspoustbiIity.

BERLIN. September l4--Nia London
-.Gcrmany delivered a note to Am
hassador Gerard to-day making a
qualified disclaimer of responsibility
for the sinking OF the Hesperian. On
the face of the evidence thus far at
hand. the government is satisfied the
Hesperian was not sunk by n Germa n
submarine.
The communication is a preliminary
note, which may be supplemented when
all tho facts arc established definitely.
Germany states that. on the basis of
the information thus far obtained thc
theory that the Hesperian was sunk by
n German submarine apparently may
be abandoned absolutely.
WRECKED by TORPEDO. NOT
SUBMARINE, REPORT SAYS
The report does not profess to be
final. The German position, as semi
official stated, follows:
las we are informed from a COM
petent source. the news already re-
ccived. taken in connection with facts
officially known, seems TO exclude al
most absolutely the possibility that a
German submarine could. under any
circumstances, have been concerned In
sinking the British passenger steamer
Hesperian.
Firstly. according to the pre-ar-
ranged distribution, no German sub
marine should have hccn on Scptem-
Der in that part of the ocean in
which the Hesperian sank.
Furthermore, the explosion. accord
ing TO descriptions received from Brit
ish sources, was of such a nature as
to indicate from effect that il was
rather that Of mine than a torpedo
The circumstances, that. according
10 these descriptions. the vessel was
struck near the bow and that the bow
compartments filed with water. goes
to confirm this assumption"
The report contains. in addition to
the report thus made semi onicially q
paragraph to the effect that all the
submarines that were at sea on Sep
tcmber have not yet returned, but
that there is no reason to expect the
reports they will supply will change
the situation
The note is a simple recital Of the
facts as the German government sees
them without any expression of senti-
ment or comment on the German sub
marine policy.
