ALL BUT Thirteen
| Of CREW Of MARINA
HAVE BEEN LANDED
Vessel Was Carrying Horses
For Use Of British When
Torpedoed
MAIN QUESTION is DID
SHE REFUSE TO STOP
If Cermany's Pledges Were
Violated Germany Will
Disavow Act

Washington, Oct. 3l.--If the British
ships Marina and Rowanmore were sunk
by German submarine commander or
commanders in violation of Germany Is
pledges regarding submarine warfare,
the German government will disavOw
the act, offer reparation and punish the
commander or commanders, German of
ficials in Washington said today.
German officials pointed out that in
the case of the Marina, which was re-
ported to have been attacked first by
gunfire without warning, that the meth
cd of attack was in itself warning and
they suggested If the vessel was tor
pedoed before the crew was able to
leave the ship, it probably was because
the failed to stop.
Secretary of State Lansing said today
official reports regarding the sinking
of the Marina are not conclusive.
ave have not received any informa-
tion from the American embassy at Lon
don which could be regarded as real evi-
dence,' he stated. All'reports received
are being forwarded to the president at
Long Branch
Secretary Lansing SAID he was unable
to state definitely aShether the ship was
torpedoed or sunk by shell fire, whether
it had been warned or just what was the
condition Of the sea at the time of the
attack. He refused to say directly
whether any messages have been receiv-
ed quoting survivors of the ship, but
said he had not yet received "sworn" "
affidavits.
The London embassy has been ordered
to forward all information Immediately
to the department. aqs.

SENATOR GORE SPEAKS
IN SALEM TONIGHT

Thomas P. Gore, the famous
blind senator of Oklahoma, will
speak on the political issues of
the day in the armory at Salem
tonight at s p. m.
Senator Gore is believed by
many to be the greatest plat
form orator in America at the
present time, and despite his
blindness is well informed on
every public question. His
gifted and devoted wife travels
with the senator always, reads
to him and keeps him in touch
with the events of a world that
he has never seen.
Aside from its political sig
nificance the address of Sena-
tor Gore will be a treat well
worth making special effort to
hear.
The senator is expected to
arrive in Salem this afternoon
at AIS. He spoke in Astoria
last night, and his Salem meet
ing tonight will be his last
speech in Oregon during the
the campaign.

Waiting for Information.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The state de-
partment today bent every effort to-
ward supplanting the provisional re-
port of yesterday with verified infor'
nation on the sinking of the British
horse ship Marina and the British
freighter Rowanmore. 1t was hoped
Consul Frost at Queenstown would be
able quickly to clear the question which
his first reports left unanswered. On
the answer to these questions may de-
pend an extremely serious submarine is
sue between the United States and Ger
many
Primarily the state department sought
news of the Americans on board the
Marina-whether any of the so horse
men, signed on at Newport News, Va,
have lost their lives.
Frost's provisional report, based ON
his first information, was that the Ger
man submarine gave no warning. If
this is borne out-and if the Marina, un'
like the Rowanmore, did not attempt
to escape-the issue faced is the most
serious since the sinking of the Sus-
sex.
All information obtainable is being
forwarded Immediately to President
Wilson at Shadow Lawn 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that the president will
find it necessary to come to Washing
ton.
Supplemental proof of the statement
of officials of the Donaldson line, own
ers of the Marina, that she was not un-
der charter to the British government
and did not have the character of an ad-
miralty vessel, was being sought today.
The one fact in the early reports
concerning the Rowanmore that offered
probable complications was the state
ment of some survivors that the small
boats in which they left the ship were
shelled by the submarine. These state
ments will be sifted.

Berlin newspapers do not defend him,

member arraigned the government,
charging that pressure had been exerted
to obtain subscriptions to the recent
