Word Of new affidavfts has reached

for the attack on the Sussex and other
vessels, jeopardizing American hves.
The situation today was again de-
scribed as Every serious
The cabinet will meet tomorrow to
take up the additional proofs received
BY the state department. It is possible
by that time definite word as to Ber-
Inns attitude on the Sussex and other
channel attacks will be at hand, in
view of q cable from Gerard stating he
anticipated an early reply to this gov
ernment's inquiry.
The suggestion that the Sussex may
have been torpedoed In the belief that
she was British transport, contain.
ed in exclusive Eerlin dispatches to
the United Press, proved Of greatest
interest to the state department OIL

1t was the first admission from Ber-

struck a mine. -..----
