y NORFOLK, Virginia, October =
The British freight steamer Hawkhead,
of 5000 tons, which arrived here from
Colon to load for British ports, was
rammed yesterday afternoon during n
fog by the American passenger steamer
City of Norfolk. The Hawkhead was
sunk and the City of Norfolk badly
damaged, but there has been no loss Of
life SO far as has been Ascertained. a
The British steamer was lying afhef
anchorage in Hampton Roads when the
passenger boat doomed up out of the
fog, coming head on. Warming whis-
ties were sounded in vain as the two
vessels were closed before either could
see the other and the Roadway of the
City of Norfolk carried her smash into
the side of the freighter. The Nor
folk bows cut deep through the steel
frame Of the Hawkhead, which began
Immediately to settle. The Norfolk
backed away with her bow badly
erumpled. .f'b
The American ship had on board
number of passengers bound for Balti-
more. These were transferred to
passing steamer without panic and the
rev of the Hawkhead were picked up.
Captain Hand of the Hawkhead reports
hat all his men are accounted for,
while II is claimed aboard the City Of
Norfolk that there were neither fatal
tiles nor casualties aboard that ship.

" Ian assertions, accompa-

given on aindisputab!e authority,
which appeared in the New York
Post yesterday afternoon, to the
effect that Germany is ready to
sue for peace and is DESTROYS that
the United States offer its good
Offices in the matter, has created
the profoundest interest here. Alb
solutely no official confirmation
for the report can, be secured,
while Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, has issued
a positive denial of the Posts
story.
According to the New York
publication, Ambassador James
Gerard, the American representa-
tive at Berlin, is now on his way
20 the United States, authorized
W the German government to lay
before President Wilson a request
hat he use his good offices to Sc
,ure for Germany the peace terms
Of the Allies.
Post Is Positive
Germany has definitely decid-
ed to apply to President Wilson
% use his good Offices" says the
Post, which declares that it has
lefnite information of the truth
Of its statement.
Officials of the state. depart
ment here disclaim all knowledge
Of any special importance to be
attached to the return of Ambas
sador Gerard to the United States.
So far as they will admit, his trip
is a vacation trip merely. That
he is the bearer of such momen-
tous tidings as is indicated they
do not believe.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff goes
further. He denies absolutely
that Germany has any intention
OF suing for peace and declares
that no one has been authorized
to request peace in Germany's
name.
