 The Marina had carried a cargo of horses to England from Newport News, Va, and was returning when two submarines lying in wait sunk her in a stormy sea from which sur vivors were rescued after many hours of hardship.
 In its last note to Germany on the submarine question, the United States threatened to break off diplomatic re- lations unless the campaign of de- struction without warning was aban- doned Another note declared that offers of reparation and expression of regret would not be sufficient, t--- did not actually close the door to accept ing an admission of error and indem- nifty for damage in any specific case where the American government might choose to deal with it in that way.
 Secretary Lansing went to the White House this afternoon to discuss the German note on the Marina case with President Wilson. He refused to make any announcement.
