F1tchburg, Mass, Nov. 1. - Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,,
in a campaign speech here read bet
ter from John Temple Lloyd Jeffriss
Of Boston, in which the writer stated
that Henry Breckinridge, former as.
sistant secretary of war, had several
times made to him remarks similar to
those attributed to him by DR.. Charles
H. Bailey of Tufts college, concerning
the alleged elimination by President
Wilson of a weakening postscript from
the "strict accountable note to
Germany.
A letter from DR.. Bailey regarding
a conversation he had with Mr.. Brock
inridge on the subject was read by
Senator Lodge at public meeting
Saturday night and the senator in q
later address said he presented the let.

"FaiIs to Deny Essential Point"
"Mr. Breckinridge has sent one or
two kilograms in which he refers to
DR.. Bailey and myself in very angry
manner, which is not important, but
he characterizes his own conversation,
which DR.. Bailey reported, as back
stairs gossip He does himself great
injustice by this; he was member OF
the Wilson administration and a most
excellent assistant secretary of war.
He denies that there was any threat

essential point, which was that the

MANNED BY AMERICANS SENT
TO BOTTOM WITH LOSS
OF 70 LIVES.
SITUATION is GRAVEST
SINCE SUSSEX SINKING
Only Thirty-four Survivors Landed at
Crookraven and No Official Infor-
nation Available Whether Any
Americans Were Drowned
Wilson Awaits Reports

Washington, Nov. 1.-The steamers
Marina and Rowanmore, partly
manned by Americans, have been sunk
by German submarines with possible
loss of 20 lives.
On it's face the case of the Marina,
reported by United States Consul
Frost at Queenstown, presents the
gravest situation that has arisen since
the sinking of the channel liner Sus-
German governments to the verge of
break.
Steamer Marina Torpedoed.
The British admiralty has informed
the American embassy that the Mar
ina was torpedoed but that it had not
been ascertained whether warning was
given. Previous reports said she was
sunk by shell fire.
No official information is available
whether any Americans were drowned,
although only "a survivors have been
landed at Crookhaven.
Ship Breaks in Two.
The Marina, which was outward
bound was torpedoed twice and broke
in two. 1t is reported that men were
drowned while attempting to lower
boats. Mr.. Frost has been ordered to
obtain all available information in re-
gard to the Americans on the vessel
The admiralty says the Marina was
not under government charter.
Although he cautioned that his in
formation was purely PROVISIONAL
the consul cabled that the Marina, a
horse transport with a mixed crew of
British and Americans, was reported
sunk without warning by German sub
marine gunfire,' 100 miles west of
Cape Clear and that 70 of the crew
Of 104 were missing.
Crew SheIIed in Boats.
Press dispatches have indicated that
the missing men might reach shore
in their boats later. Another message
from Mr.. Frost said members of the
crew Of the Rowanmore, including
Americans, had been shelled in their
boats while abandoning the ship after
being chased by submarine for so
minutes. There were no casualties.
Preliminary reports of the sinking
of the two ships were too incomplete
to enable officials at the State depart
ment to form an opinion as to whether
there had been a violation of neutral
rights or of pledges given the United
States by Germany.
