of the impact being from abaft the beam
along a line at an acute angle with the
keel of the vessel. (Report of Lieut..
Smith, cabled April ~ This evidence CO.
incides with and corroborates the state
ment that the vessel was swinging to
starboard and away from the torpedo
when struck.
The pieces of metal which the Ameri-
can officers had collected were COM
pared by Lieut.. Smith. Lieut.. Com
mander Sayles. and Maj. Logan, with
mines and plans of mines in posses
sion of the French naval authorities
at Boulogne. Rocnefort and Toulon
and British naval authorities at Ports
mouth. These officers are positive in
their opinion that these pieces of metal
were not parts of a mine. (Report OF
Lieut.. Smith, cabled April and %
Among these fifteen pieces of metal
were two screw bolts showing the ef-
fects Of an explosion which were
stamped with *" and So on faces OF
the head of one and * and oS on
faces of the head of the other on en-
aiming German torpedoes in the pos
session of the French naval authorities
at Toulon and of the English naval au-
thorities at Portsmouth the American
officers found that identical screws
with the letter OK and a number were
employed to fasten the war" head

ed and there is no statement that 1t
came to the surface after the attack.
Departments comment-The conclu-
sion was reached that the submarine
was submerged from the fact that no
one on the Sussex saw a submarine,
though the weather was fine.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-20
Other Metal Pieces Identified.

The screws used in French and Eng
lish torpedoes have no markings and
are of a slightly different size. (Same
reports) Furthermore, the American
officers were able by comparison and
close examination to positively 1dentl1y
and locate all the remaining thirteen
pieces of metal as parts OF a German
torpedo, as follows:
Fragment 3, part of inner seat of
water relief valve of engine valve.
Fragments 4 and D, punto oands OF
engine room casing.
Fragments to 10. inclusive, ana L.
parts of engine cylinders.
FRAGMENTS IL, 10, IA, Is, parts of steel
war head still bearing the distinctive
red paint common to German torpedo
war heads (Report of Lieut.. Smith.
cabled April 81
In view of these authenticated facts
there can be no reasonable doubt put
that the Sussex was torpedoed and that
ture. AS no vessel was seen by any
person on the Sussex, the conclusion
is irresistible that the torpedo was
launched without warning from sub
marine which was submerged at the
time of the attack and remained be-
meath the surface after the explosion.
German Note Is Quoted.
The conclusion thus reached from
the evidence (the affidavits being those
of American ctizens) collected by the
Department of State is substantiated
by the statements in the imperial gov
ernments note of April 10. 1916. Ac-
cording to those statements,
(a) A German submarine torpedoed a
steamer one and one-half miles south
east of Bull Rock bank.
Departments comment-The point of
attack is exactly in the course which
was taken by the Sussex after passing
Dungeness and about, one-half mile
from the place where the captain of
the Sussex states he was torpeuoed.

Departments comment -3:55 pm,

spond to 2:55 pm. western European
time. The time of the striking of the
torpedo, according to the captain of the
Sussex, and the stopping of the clocks
on board the vessel, was ESQ PM,

Co The torpedo, when it struck.
caused an explosion which tore away
the whole foreship up to the bridge.

Bishop Tierney, in full episcopal robes,
brought up at the rear. From two
pillars in front of the building hung an
American flag fifteen feet long. On
the left platform was erected around
the corner stone as seats were proyid-
ed on the floor of the edifice for the
band and guests. The societies mass
ed themselves in the street below
while the Bishop and clergy proceeded
to spot, marked by large cross,
where the altar was to be erected.
After a preliminary service here the
party returned to the platform where
the stone was blessed and set in place.
Then the procession moved about the
outside of the church the Bishop
blessing the groundwork on all its four
sides.
Within the cornerstone was placed

Under the minisrations of Fr. Van
den Mort the parish progressed and
fiourished. The convent broaden
ed its field and became one Of the
leading Catholic educational institu-
lions for young ladies in the state
As the parish grew the children in the
parochiaI schools increased in num-
bers. All of these parish institutions
were ably managed to meet the in
creasing demands of increased num-
hers. FIR. Van den Mort also exerted
benign influence and great spiritu-
al uplift in the parish He was be-
loved by ALL His philanthrophies were
many and varied He watched over
his flock with a jealous eye and saw
that their material wants were salts
fed and that their spiritual needs were
ministered to. His influence made
Putnam a better city.

The ceremonies began Monday ev-

in the presence OF hundreds OF parish
