Consul Directed to Report
Also on Sinking of
the Englishman.
TO RAISE NEW ISSUE
WITH GERMANY
State Department to Act Prompt
ly if II Is Determined YES
sells Were Torpedoed.
Iron The Tribune Bureau }


Washington, March 25.-The State
Department will act promptly and de-
cisively toward Germany as soon as II
has confirmation Of the torpedoing OF
the Sussex or the Englishman, it was
said on the highest authority to-day
A high Administration official admitted
that if the reports received to-day are
substantiated an issue will be raised
comparable in gravity only to the Lusi-
tania, the Arabic and the Ancons.
Consul Armstrong, at Bristol, report
ed to the department to-day that the
Englishman had been torpedoed and
tat five Americans are missing. He
did not give the source Of his informa-
ton, but it is supposed TO have come
from the British Admiralty.
The American Embassy in London
sent q list Of twenty-five Americans
who were on the Sussex. The State
Department has no information con-
corning the circumstances Of the sup
posed attack on the Sussex.
Immediately on hearing OF the at
tacks on the Sussex and the English
man the State Department instructed
consular officers near the scenes TO in
vestigate and report at once.
Besides these two cases. the destruc-
ton Of the Dutch liner Tubantis and
the attempt 10 torpedo the French
steamer Patria are being investigated.
The Tubantia case is delayed, waiting
the report Of the Dutch government,
which has divers examining the wreck.
Patria Crew Saw Torpedo.
Afidavits from the officers and crew
OF the Patria are said TO state that &
torpedo was seen TO pass near the
Patria when she was of the coast OF
Algeria on her way TO Lisbon and New
York. Secretary Lansing is expected TO
ask the Austrian government for its
version of the affair.
As the State Department views the
Sussex and Englishman cases, Ger
many can offer no legitimate excuse IL
the reports at hand are substantiated.
Both were unarmed, it is understood,
and were plying their regular trade
routes. The Englishman was bound for
an American port, and could not there
fore have been government horse
transport.
Count Won Bernstorff has assured the
United States that no unarmed vessels
would be sunk without warning or
without providing for the safety Of
non-combatants. In recent COM
munication he went further, and de-
clared that armed vessels would not be
attacked without warning unless they
were proved" 10 be armed.

London. March 25.-Francis t. Drake,
Furopean manager Of the United States
Rubber Export Company, Of New YORK.
to-day told Of his experiences aboard
the Sussex. Mr.. Drake and Edward II.
HUXLEY. president Of the United States
Rubber Export Company, were the hrst
American survivors of the disaster to
arrive in London, reaching here this
afternoon.
1--WE left Folkestone with good
weather and q moderate sea at l'oV
Yesterday" said Mr.. Drake. "At
few minutes after o'clock, as | was
standing just behind the bridge on
the promenade deck, terrific explosion
shook the boat A volume Of water
and masses Of debris shot high In the
air. The entire bow of the steamer
was blown away and the wrecksge
WAS hurled back over the decks.
"For few minutes intense excite
ment prevailed, but as the snip ola
not list or begin to settle the psSseh-
gers became calm. they realized that
III. bulkheads were holding firm. BOATS
were swung out Immediately. The sec
ond of these, after being loaded with
about forty women and children, cap
sized As near as We could find out
only Ave of these were rescued.
Believes Fifty Were Lost.
"Those lost from this boat formed
the larger part Of the total loss which
! understand was about fifty.
when the explosion occurred, Miss
Elizabeth +. Baldwin. an American,
living in Paris, was standing talking
with Wilder Grades Penfield and an
other American whose name / don't
know. They were Just in front OF the
pilot house promenade deck. Practi-
cally all Of the ship forward Of where
they stood was blown away.
Miss Baldwin suffered injuries to
the head, and was still unconscious
when taken aboard a trawler nine
hours later. Penfeld's left leg was
broken He is now in the Marine Hos
pital at Dover. He is medical stu
dent from Morton College, oxford, and
was on his way 70 join DR.. Joseph
Blake's hospital corps in France.
"The third member of the group has
not been seen since, and it is almost
certain that he was blown to pieces;
therefore | am positive that at least
one American life was lost.
Eventually all the boats put off and
lay at little distance from the Sus
sex. The wireless antenne was carried
away, and il was impossible to call as
sistsnce. There was nothing TO do but
wait. Finally, when il became certain
that the ship would not sink, those in
the boats were taken aboard again.
at was almost IL o'clock at night
when a trawler appeared. Immediately
the transfer Of passengers began. Be
fore this was completed British de-
stroyer came up. The balance of US,
about ninety, were taken aboard her.
Those on the trawler were sent to
Boulogne, while we were brought 20
Dover. Life preservers had not been
distributed and no fear had been felt,
as Channel shipping had been uninter-
rupted for so long.
Many Jumped Into Sea.

81 cannot say too much in praise OF
the British. When the destroyer APP
reared everything went like clockworh.
They knew Just what TO do and nov 70
do il. We certainly appreciated tneF
kindness 10 Us aboard the destroyer.
Mr. Huxley told d remarkable story
Of the manner in which the forward
part Of the SUSSEX was torn Of at the
CAPTAINS bridge. The remainder OF
the vessel was so little damaged, ne
said, that even the the electric Ights
continued 20 burn.
Part Of the Ship Torn Away.
Il was standing on deck, just aft OF
the captains bridge, chatting with Mr;
Drake" he said. 81 had just looked
at my watch and II was 1908 p. m,
when suddenly there was muifed eN-
plosion. The whole forward part OF
the ship seemed to rise in the air and
was torn away completely from the
rest Of the steamer. The Sussex had
been cut in two at the bridge as clean
ly as though it had been done with a
knife.
For a short time there was psnde-
monium. Shrieks Of women mingled
with cries OF the wounded Some
fifteen or twenty persons were drowned
by jumping overheard.
THE passengers did everything pos
sible for the wounded on board the
Sussex. The American woman doctor
did fine work, and Mr.. Peniield, al
though suffering from badly shat
tered leg, directed the first aid for
others. His heroism was magnificent.
He is now among the injured in the
Dover hospital.
Lights Not Extinguished.
at is remarkable. think. that the
electric light plant was not put out OF
commission and that there was steam
up on the vessel all the time. The
engines working the propellers, how
ever, were out Of commission. That
the after part of the Sussex did not
fill was probably due to the fact that
many mail bags were piled against the
bulkheads when the mail was put on
board. the bulkheads thus being rein
forced"
Samuel F. Bemis, Of Medford Mass +,
a passenger on the Sussex, said he
saw, plainly and Enthusiastically, the
wake of a torpedo coming toward the
steamer. Mr.. Bemis, who is a Harvard
research man, said:
81 was on deck at the time. The
weather was clear and beautiful.

Charles Croker, an American, who
was on the Sussex, said:
81 couldn't say personally, but !
heard the captain of the Sussex say he
saw torpedo coming, and that he shut
down one engine, which resulted in the
vessel being hit in the bow instead Of
amidships. Members of the crew also
said that the vessel was torpedoed."

In the face Of this declaration any at
tempt by Germany 10 excuse the tor-
pedoing Of an Unarmed vessel on 'he
ground that she was thonght 70 D
armed would be inadmissGblc. Inc Ad
rninistration will insist on this point,
because il does not purpose TO nave the
merits of the armed ship question as
cussed in connection with the destruc-
ton Of unarmed vessels.
New German Policy Feared.
officials are beginning to believe that
Germany has initiated new pohcy OF
sinking all enemy merchantmen on
sight, without warning. This behei mas
given rise 10 alarm, as il Is almost I'M
possible to prove that vessel was tor-
pedoed when no submarine was seen.
As corollary 10 this belief, 1t Is
said that the retirement of Won Tlrpitz
NAV have been due TO his too great
leniency. rather than because Of ms
terriblcness, as was at first supposed.
II appears on the face of developments
Of the last two weeks that Germany IS
pressing her submarine campaign more
relentlessly than ever.

The All-New Britain basketball team defeated the Delphis of Hart ford for the second time this season at Riverview last evening, in a de- cisive manner, score 40 to 24. AL though the slippery floor was a dis advantage to the locals, the superior work displayed by them completely overwhelmed the Capitol Cityites and the wonderful basket tossing of "Chief" Larson made up for the odds. Johnny Martin at guard for the win ners was also star, this little player time and again smothering Johnson, the fast forward of the losers. His pass work was of much assistance to his mates. Jacobson, Walthers and Ellison also put up a creditable game for New Britain.
