what information was avail

forwarded what information was avail
able at the British admiralty and his
dispatch, with unofficial reports of the
disaster, was forwarded to President
Wilson at Hot Springs. The president
will have Austria's satisfactory reply
in the Ancona case and the news of
the latest submarine disaster before
him at the same time.
AS in similar cases, the policy of
the American government will be to
before moving. There is little room
to doubt that the incident will mean
new diplomatic actions in which the
United States will present to Austria
in the same forceful manner its I'M
alterable policy that the laws of ma
tons and humanity must be regarded
by the belligerents in their warfare
at sea.
Severance of diplomatic relations
with all its possibilities looms up as
one of the eventualities, the same as it
did in the case of the Lusitania, the
Arabic and the Ancona.
Although the nationality of the sub
marine which sunk the Persia remains
unestablished definitely as was the
case with the Yasaka Maru, and the
Vile de la Ciotat, the assumption gen.
orally is that it was an Austrian boat
because Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, recently declared
that no German or Turkish subma-
rines were operating in the Mediter-
| ranean.
