WITHOUT NOTES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s-The raid
of the U-53 off the American coast is
closed so far as this government is
concerned. No diplomatic communica-
ton will be made to England or to
Germany concerning the submarine.
The facts as revealed Officially will
however be given to any government
asking them.
State department officials today
said that no official recognition would
be taken of the statement in the house
of lords by Viscounty Grey, British
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
that the operations of the U-53 were
similar to those of British warships
near American ports, which caused
this government dissatisfaction.
The raid of the submarine is looked
upon in official circles as an isolated
case and unless other raids on com.
merce are made Germany will not be
asked to keep her submarines of the
American coast "as a friendly favor"
