Washington, Oct 30-rreliminarv 10
ports of the sinking by German subma-
rines of the British steamers Marina and
RoWanmore, partly manned by Ameri
cans, were too incomplete tonight to en-.
anlc othclalS at the state department ~
form an opinion as to whether there had
been violation of neutral rights or of
pledges given the United States by Ger.
many. Secretary Lansing declined ia
comment further than to admit that the
reports appeared more serious than the
usual routine dispatches announcing thu
destruction of helligerent merchantmen
and that full Information would be aWai'
ed with interest.
On its face, the case of the Marina.
reported by Consul Frost at Queenstown
presents the gravest situation that has
arisen since the sinking of the channel
liner SUSSEX which brought the Amcri-
can and German governments to the
verge Of a break. Although he cautioned
that his information was purely provis-
tonal. the consul cabled that the Marina,
horse transport with mixed crew
Of British and Americans" was reported
sunk without warning by German sub
marine guniiro. 100 miles west of Cape
Clear. and that 20 of the crew of 1Oi
were missing. Press dispatches have
indicated that the missing men might
reach shore in their boats later An
other message from Mr.. Frost said mem
berS of the crew of the RoWanmore, in
Guiding Americans. had been sheled in
their boats while abandoning the shin
after being chased by a submarine for 30
minutes. There We're no casualties.
According to the agents in this coun-
try of the Marina's owners, the Donald
son line. the vessel, with some - Ameri-
can horse tenders aboard was not under
charter TO the British government as a
transport but was engaged in her rcgu-
lar trade as a freighter and carried
horses for the entente allies as a part
Of her general cargo. Under such cir
cumstances she would be entitled to all
the nmunities of any other beilGcrent-
owned merchantmen, and an enemy de-
stroying her and her cortrahand cargo
would be required to make due provision
for the safety of the ships company UNI
less she was sunk in the act % attempt
ing to escape.
Apparently all depends upon the ac-
curacy of the first reports; whether the
Marina actually was attacked without
warning, or whether she is 10 be recorded
