Report of U-Boats on Way
Here Stirs Washington


Washington, Nov. 26.-Renewed anxi-
ETY. over the submarine situation was
caused to-day by the circumstantial
reports that two U-boats were headed
for another raid on the American coast
The reports tended to confirm the fear
among Administration officials that the
U-53 episode was only a prelude to
more extensive operations in these wa
ters.
Officials repeated to-day that the
United States could not tolerate sub
marine warfare in the lanes of Ameri-
can commerce. If there is to be any
attempt TO blockade the American
coast, even if conducted according to
the strict law of visit and search, the
vital interest of the United States will
compel vigorous protest to Germany.
President Wilson was urged when
the U-53 sank FIVE vessels in one days
raid to warn Germany that such
practice could not be tolerated
Believe U-53 Was Test
High Administration officials believed
the U-53 was sent here 70 discover the
attitude of the United States toward an
extension of the war 70 American wa
ters. and that if Washington remained
passive the exploit would be repeated
on larger scale. The President re-
fused to act, preferring 70 wait until
the German government had shown
plainly that il had adopted fixed pol
lev of raidng near the American coast
As State Department officials see it,
the problem is not one OF law, but Of
comfy. Technically. Germany has a
right TO use her submarines as freely
just outside the American three-mile
limit as anywhere else on the high
seas. But in so doing she would at
tack the vital interests Of the United
States more violently than those of her
enemies. Not only would the muni-
tons trade with the Allies be threat
ened, but the effect on innocent COM
merce, as shown by the general paraly
sis of shipping that followed the U-53
raid, would be tremendous. Shipmas-
ters would refuse TO depart with their
CarCOeS 1OT rear OF an llleRdl dlldCh
and passengers would fear to under
take voyages.
Blow at Worlds Tonnage
II the German intention were only TO
attack transports and other war craft
the United States could not complain,
il is declared. But officials believe the
main object of the submarine warfare
is TO reduce the worlds tonnage, and
thus hamper the Allies in getting sup
plies. On no other understanding can
they explain the wholesale destruction
OF neutral ships and the refusal of sub
marine commanders to be content with
iettisoning contraband.
The lanes of commerce of the Ameri-
can coast, il is admitted, offer splendid
opportunities for raids Of this sort.
Because Of their wide extent and their
distance from British bases the sub
marine destroying methods used ef-
fectively in the European naval war
rome cannot be employed. IL is un-
thinkable, officials say, that Germany
would send submarines here merely TO
attack troop ships. which could be pro-
tected by conveys, and neglect mer-
chant ships that ply the same lanes.

PHONE GIRL SEES
WOMAN END LIFE
Farewell Over Wire Sends
Strand Hotel Operator
to Guests Room

Fearful of divorce suit which she
would not defend lest in explaining
what she regarded as harmless
escapade she reveal the name Of man
who was about to be married, Mrs.
Florence NJ. Sbel shot and killed her
self last night in her room at the
Hotel Strand, at 43 West Thirty-sec-
ond Street. She ended her life after
completing preparations which includ-
ed leaving her mothers telephone num-
Der with the clerk and calling on the
phone the telephone operator with
whom she had been on friendly terms.
Miss Helen Scanlon, the telephone
operator, smiled as she plugged in for
the room on the eighth floor which
Mrs. Sibel occupied. The next instant
she tore the cord from the board and
with the receiver still clamped to her
head, rushed TO the elevator.
"Goodby everybody" the metallic
voice Of the telephone had creaked.
az am tired of this existence and am
going 10 end it all"
At the eighth floor Miss Scanlon
rushed to her friends room. She
trembled with gratitude at finding the
door unlocked and flung it open.
Sees he, Fire Shot
Mrs. Sibel stood at the foot of the
bed, confronting her. AS the telephone
operator paused IN the doorway, she
raised her right hand to her head.
Fascinated, MISS Scanlon gazed at
glittering object IN the. hand. A fash
and a report tnsJ rssounded through
the halls aroused her as the revolver
clattered 70 the floor and Mrs. Sibel
sank across the p-c. Half an hour
later she died on the operating table
at Bellevue Hospital!
A letter which the police said was
from Mrs. Sibel's mother. Mrs. NJ. Z.
Myers. of Schenectady. was found in
the room. A part or It was as follows;
"You do not need TO be alarmed,
because your husband will not get
his divorce on the 20th. Now get
yourself together. Did you send
Dugan the papers that we're served
on you? ] hope you have not de-
stroyed them, for If you did II IS
all Off. Why did you not answer
those questions? will teach you
TO do so when get you home.
Once Sought Death In Canal
Long before her marriage 70 Andrew
Sibel. ir.. a grain merchant of Schen-
ectady, Mrs. Sibel had attempted to
commit suicide by throwing herself
into the Erie Canal. She had run away
with a man with whom she was infatu-
ated, and her mother had, 1t is said,
locked her in her room for days. The
young woman escaped and was brought
back almost unconscious by a man who
had frustrated her attempt TO end her
life.
Her husbands suit for divorce is
pending on the calendar of the Supreme
Court now in session at Schenectady.
Although no correspondent is named,
Mr.. Sibel alleges that his wife was one
of a party OF men and women found IN
a room in a Buffalo hotel. Mrs. Sibel
persistently refused to defend the suit,
asserting that to do so would ruin two
more lives.
Mrs. Sibel. who was twenty eight
years old, was living alone at the hotel
and had been working at Gimbel
Brothers' since she came to the hotel,

MRS. BOISSEVAIN
DIESN HOSPITAL
Blood Transfusions Fail to
Save Life of Youthful
Suffrage Leader

Los Angeles, Nov. 26.-Inez Milhol-
land Boissevain died here early this
morning, literally, as her friends said,
a martyr to the woman's cause, for
which she had spent her life.
One of the best known suffragists in
America at the age of thirty, she had
been called to fight in the recent
political campaign against President
Wilson and for the Federal amend
ment. Eugen Boissevain, her husband,
and Mr. and Mrs. John f. Mlholland,
her parents, protested, for she had not
been well for weeks. But il was a call
from which Mrs. Boissevain had never
turned aside.
81 must go; the women need me-"
she said, as she set out alone, repre-
sentative of the National Womsn's
Party, to fight for suffrage.
Ill and increasingly unable to bear
the strain, Mrs. Boisgevain went gal
lantly on with series of addresses all
through the West before she sue
cumbed here, ten weeks ago, while ad-
dressing an audience OF hundreds Of
men and women.
Collapsed on Platform
"How long will it be before you heed
the cause of the women? How long be-
fore Justice is done7" the suffrsgist
cried, then wavered and fell fainting
upon the platform.
Ten minutes later she was carried
upon the platform again, TO finish her
speech from her chair. Afterward she
was taken TO the hospital where she
died to-day OF aplastic anemia, after
blood transfusions had failed to save
her life. Her husband. Eugen Boisse-
vain: her sister Vida Milholland. both
Of whom had made the sacrifice OF
blood for her. and her parents were
with her when she died.
All day long messages Of coincidence
came to her family. in token that
women the country over were sharing
their grief.
"She has immeasurably advanced the
sisterhood of women" declared Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. president Of the
National Suffrage Association.
"The death of woman like lnez
Milholland is positive loss TO all
women who are interested in the ad-
vance of womankind." said Rose Falls
Bres. of the Women Lawyers Associa-
tion of New York. Her work will 20
on and on forever"
"a Sacrifice to Suffrage
"She died a sacrifice TO the suffrage
cause. and by her death will plead for
Justice" declared Mrs. J. A. H. Hop
kins. president OF the New Jersey Con-
gressional Union.
"Inex Milholland has this day fin
ished a work for her sisters that will
not be forgotten" wired Alice Paul. Of
the National Woman's party from
Washington.

women like her are the true mothers
of our country" Mary Garrett Hay. OF
