from Folkestone to Ddeppe.
Sussex Was Not Armed.
THE Sussex had never been armed;
was a vessel known to be habitually

sengers across the English channel,
and was not following the route taken
by troop ships or supply ships. About
80 of her passengers, non-combatants
of all ages and sexes, including citizens
OF the United States, were killed or
injured.
"A careful, detailed and scrupulous-
ly impartial investigation by naval and
military officers OF the United States
has conclusive1y established the fact
that the Sussex was torpedoed with
out warning or summons to surren-
der, and that the torpedo by which
she was struck was of German manu-
facture. In the view OF the govern

ers did not feel certain which attitude,
friendliness or opposition, the Mexicans
would assume. Therefore the un-
friendly incidents were minimized
through the censorship. Today little
hope remained that further progress
could be made without serious clashes
with Mexicans. including the unruly
element among the outlying Carranza
commands.
The precaution OF American officers
against any act when might incite
enmity has been a great handicap.
They have not fired on Villistas at any
time because they were not sure of
their identity. At Parral Major Tomp-
kins, who had ia men, permitted only
his expert marksmen to return the
Carranza fire to avoid the danger OF
hitting women and children. The ef-
fectiveness OF American resistance was
thereby reduced,

"A full statement OF the facts upon

closed.
THE government of the United

sideration to the note of the imperial
government Of the 10th of April, re-
grets to state that the impression made
upon 1t by the statements contained
in that note Is that the imperial gov
ernment has failed to appreciate the

'If the sinking OF the Sussex had
been an isolated case, the government
of the United States might find it pos
sibIe to hope that the officer who was

precautions they prescribed. and that
the ends of justice might be satisfied
by imposing upon him an adequate
punishment, coupled with formal dis
avowal OF the act and payment of
suitable indemnity by the imperial gov
ernment
But, though the attack upon the
Sussex was manifestly indefensible and
caused q loss of life so tragical as TO
make 1t stand forth as one of the most
terrible examples Of the inhumanity of
