Situation Serious if
Vessel Was Torpedo
ed, Say Officials.
7 AMERICANS
IN CREW SAVED
U-Boat's Work, Said First
Message from Consul
at Havre.

Washington, March 1l.-Secretary
Lansing to-day instructed Consul Os-
born, at Havre. France, TO secure and
forward Immediately ell available de-
tails Of the sinking In Hayre roads OF
the Norwegian bark Silius, from which
seven American citizens were rescued.
Consul Osborn previously had reported
that the Silius was torpedoed without
warning on the night of March 9.
If torpedo did destroy the bark,
which was bound to Havre from New
York with grain, the government re
sponsible will be held to strict accc lnt.
Such an act would be contrary to all
the assurances which the United States
has secured.
Officials seemed inclined, however, to
refrain from forming an opinion unit!
it was known positively that torpedo
End not a mine sunk the ship.
Should Consul Osoorn's investigation
establish that a torpedo actually was
responsible, the United States, otilcials
Indicated, will view the matter as even
more serious than II passenger carry
ing vessel was involved. The State De-
partment considers that American sea-
men have even a greater claim to pro-
lection than passengers. A passenger
travels at his discretion, while sea-
man is compelled to do so by his occu-
patton.
Paris, March l1.-Seven of the crew
Of the Norwegian bark Silius, which
vas torpedoed and sunk yesterday,
were Americans. The Sillus left New
York February for Havre, with "A
cargo OF barley. She was 1,5OO-toh

Of the Americans on the Silius was in
iured seriously in his legs and was
taken 10 the Pasteur Hospital. lie is
John Hartmann, eighteen years old.
Il is reported that Captain Syyertsen
Of the Silus was drowned and that two
sailors are missing.
The American sailors in the crew OF
the Norwegian bark Siius, sunk by a
torpedo, were: Daniel Novak, Norfolk,
Conn; Henry Monahan, Boston; David
Sherman, New Bedford. Mass; Samuel
Sullivan. Atlantic City. y. j.; John
Hartmann, Philadelphia; - Cunliffe.
Atlantic City; John ". Van Galei,
Melrose. Mass. Hartmann, who was
wounded. was taken to the Pasteur

10 the American Consul that the vessel
was torpedoed without warning aid
sunk in five minutes. The Americans
will be sert to their homes by the Nor
wegian consulate.
