London, Oct. s1.-The British

all the war areas were:

No Conclusions Vet.

washington, Oct. 31.-Secretary Lam
sing said today that his reports on the
destruction Of the British ship Marina.
with the probable loss Of American
lives still were too incomplete to per-
NIT any conclusions or to allow him
to discuss the case. Fuller reports
with affadivits OF American survivors
have been ordered by cable, he said
Todays news dispatches saying that
some Of the survivors saw the wake
of torpedo and that the Marina was
struck twice, added gravity to the sit
uation.
Officials noted that the British ad-
miralty was not prepared to say
whether the Marina had been torpe-
doed, and Consul Frost's report yes
terday said she was destroyed by gun
lire
/ 1t is conceded that the case is
4 viewed more seriously than any since
the destruction of the Essex, as il IS
