CARRIED HOSPITAL EMBLE EMS
Size of Largest Ship in Service
Also Identified 1t.
Victim of Deliberate Attack Is
British Verdict.

London, Nov. 23.-With new de-
tails of the sinking of the hospital
ship Britannia received, making it ap-
pear certain the greatest British ship
afloat was the victim of a Teutonic
submarine, press and public alike to-
day united in bitter condemnation of
what was termed another example of
German ''frightfulness"
One belief which found a number
of supporters was that Germany is
starting out on a new campaign of
fr1ghtfulneSS." Frequent reports
from Germany have indicated consid-
GRAFTON by the government of resump-
ton of an unlimited submarine war
fare. The deportation of Belgian citi-
zens is already being carried out de-
spite intercessions by most OF the ma
tions of the civilized world. Then
comes yesterdays torpedoing of the
hospital ship.
1t is pointed out here today that
there could be no mistaking the char
acter of the Britannia. No submarine
commander could have failed to iden-
tify the ship, not only from the fact
that she carried the usual hospital
emblemS but because she was the
biggest ship of her kind in the world
That the vessel was, therefore the vic
tim of deliberate attack was the
verdict here
Land Survivors in Greek Cities.
The admiralty did not add anything
further today to it's formal statement
of yesterday that the great ship was
sunk by a mine or torpedo with loss
of fifty lives. Athens dispatches, how
ever, seemed to dispose of all doubt
that the ocean leviathan had been de-
stroyed by anything but a German
torpedo. Considering the large num-
Der aboard at the time surprise was
expressed here that there was such a
small fatality list. The Britannia,
however, was known to be one of the
most thoroly equipped of all passen-
ger liners.
Accounts differ as to the number
the Britannia had aboard, or in which
direction she was proceeding when
the explosion occurred
Survivors were landed at various
Greek cities.
No Wounded Aboard.
In an additional statement today,
the admiralty asserted that the Britain
mic carried no wounded and those
aboard were only the regular crew and
the hospital staff.

A Continuation of Fair Gather Is
the Forecast.

Temperatures today averaged nor
mall The wind is blowing at the rate
of 80 miles an hour from the north
west The sky was cloudy this after
noon but the weather bureau expects
nothing more than a probable furry
of snow.
Crisp weather prevailed here today
following the rain. The sky was cloudy
temperatures were below normal and
a brisk northwest wind was blowing.
A light freeze occurred this morning
altho the temperatures during most of
the night were above the freezing
point. Continued fair weather with a
farther drop in temperature is ex-
pected according to the forecast which
reads Fair tonight and Friday;
CO der tonight in the northern and
western parts of the state.''
Tonight the temperature will drop
probably to 80 degrees, and tomorrow
will not go above 40. The highest tenn
perature on record for this date is 81
degrees, esta blished in 1889. The low
record degrees, occurred in 1898.
The wind this morning was blowing
at the rate of twelve miles an hour
from the northwest
The moon does not rise until 6:3S
O'Clock tomorrow morning The
moisture resulting from the entire
storm totaled half an inch.

Has Germany Broken Her

Washington, Nov. 23.-Destruction
of the great British hospital ship Bri-
tannic seriously threatened today to
enter into the tangle of submarine
complications between the United
States and Germany.
The state department as usual.
wants facts before making conclu-
sions, for thus far it is unaware, Of
ficially, whether the vessel was sub
marined or mined.
The reported presence of American
surgeons aboard the vessel made the
case one for serious reflection and
possibly serious action, taken in con-
nection with pending cases that on
the surface appear to show transgres-
sions of German pledges and interna-
tional rules.
The case would be taken merely as
an indication of what way the Ger
man war wind is blowing, should it
develop the vessel was torpedoed, but
without Americans aboard.
Under the Geneva convention, rules
were made giving immunity to hos
pital ships and their complement.
Subsequen mt changes did not affect this
idea of respecting vessels engaged on
errands of mercy.
Question U-Boats' Activities.
Berlin, by wireless to the Associa-
ted Press via Sayville, N. Y, Nov. %.
"A period of complications may
again be impending in German-Amer-
lean relations. Germany's conduct of
submarine warfare has brought forth
an abundant crop of American in
quiries, of which Joseph C. Grew, the
American charge, recently has filed
no less than ten-five of them today.
Six remain to be answered, including
the cases of the Marina, on which a
number of Americans appear to have
been killed, and the liner Arabia, the
sinking of which the American gov
ernment declares appe1rs to be incon-
sistent with the promises of the Ger
man government regarding the treat
ment of passenger liners
Women and Children Victims.
The United States bases its attitude
in the case of the Arabia on the as
sumption that it was unarned and
able to see that there was adequate
justification for forcing the passen-
gers into the boats. Washington be-
lieVeS the submarine commander, on
ascertaining that there We're women
and children on the decks, should
have refrained from making an at
tack.
Germany in the four cases in regard
to which replies already have been
made, was found to have fairly con-
Vincing answers, which it is believed,
may put quite different aspect on af-
fairs 1t is pointed out here, for ex-
ample, that according to testimony of
her own passengers, the Arabia was
armed and used her cannon. That
the sea was smooth and that other
vessels were near. 1t is argued that
the Arabia, having on board a large
number of coolie war workers, should
be regarded as a transport.

London was rapidly becoming rich
when he died. For several years his
work had been in great demand and
publishers were paying him as high az
