The German submarine, U-53, in
command of Lieutenant Hans Rose,
arrived at Newport, r. l., from Will
helmshaven, October 7, and departed
after a stay of three hours. In the
course of the next day. the U-53
sunk five ships off the American
coast
Various reports have been current
regarding the submarine, and it was
uncertain whether the craft was re-
turning to Germany or had remained
on this side of the Atlantic. There
were various rumors, also, that she
had been sunk. A search by Ameri-
can warships for German secret
base along the New England coast
for supplying submarines proved
fruitless, according to naval officers.

Request Information From Germany.
Washington, Oct. 31.-Germany has
been asked to furnish the United
States any information the Imperial
government may have concerning the
sinking by submarines Of the Britlsh
steamers Marina and Rowanmore.
The request was forwarded, 1t be.

American embassy at Berlin.
While the Marina is the first vessel
on which American lives have been
lost in the war zone since the Sussex.
and all reports have said so far she
was attacked without warning, there
was no evident tension over the case
today in government circles. Of1cials
continue optimistic in the belief that

a counter attack. AS to the Rowan
more, which admittedly sought to es.
cape, there seems to be but one point
to clear up. whether the submarine &C.
tually fired upon boats leaving tho
ship as alleged by survivors. ,,
Lansing Refuses to Comment.
Secretary Lansing, who is handltne
the situation personally, declined to
say anything further than that his in.
formation still was incomplete; that
some reports had come from London
during the day and that the afadavits
Of survivors would be cabled to tho
as soon as they could be
taken.
Reply Expected In Week.
1t may be week or more before the
German reply is received. as the sub
marine or submarines which made tho
attacks probably would not return to
their bases and report for several
days. Unless there is an unreason-
able delay at Berlin, no serious action
will be taken here, pending the reply.

from other sources make It evident
that there must be action.

who sank the Sussex, although Am.

dor before he returns OF Berlin after
his vacation.
President Wants Facts.

six Americans had lost their lives BY
the sinking Of the British steamship
Marina, President Wilson commune
Gated with Secretary Lansing tonight
and directed that all possible haste

cerning the sinking Of the vessel.
Secretary Lansing informed tho
president that in addition to asking
the American embassy in London for
informal inquiries have
been sent to the German government.
While it was made clear here that
no action would be taken pending the
collection Of all the facts. It was }7dfs

ANNISTON

Anniston, April 2s.-(special) )-Prof. lege has provided the second annual entertainment of very unique kind in Anniston. On Saturday his students in the biological classes will give a wild flower show on Noble street in which nearly 200 specimens of wild flowers found in and around Anniston will be shown. Professor Mason names each specimen both by Its common name and scientific name, which in it. self is an enormous undertaking. His classes have been securing the woods for days in search of flowers. The show brings @ veritable garden of flow CTS of all colors. kinds and degrees of beauty into view and one can real ize more than is otherwise possible how wonderfully rich the country around Anniston Is in its vegetation.
 Five prisoners escaped from the city jail late last night and are still at large. The men who escaped are Mar win Hill, who was serving a term for larceny; Cleveland Wallace. Frank 41dAldiiA anu JOhAl W cSloy, SdCl S6TY- ing term for gun toting, and Joshua Wilson, who had just begun to serve 8 term for violating the prohibition law.
 The men occupied one section of the jail where the long term prisoners are kept and the warden is at loss to know how they managed to get out as the walls are not mutilated or de- stroyed. It may be that they had an accomplice outside who managed to slip a master key to them with which they managed to pick the lock on the cell door.
 St. George Cooke, cotton export of the firm of Stephen M. Weld & Co.,. brokers of New York and Boston, was in the city yesterday on his annual visit to cotton men of the city. Mir. Cooke discussed the cotton situation with local manufacturers and brokers and secured data as to the supply on hand and the crop probabilities.
 pr. McCaslin of Montgomery, chair man of the board of directors of the Alabama Presbyterian college, will come to Anniston next Tuesday to con- suit with local interests as to the well fare of the college.
 A number of Improvements will be made in the near future at Oxford's city park, among them to be install lation of a public drinking fountain. The permanent rest room will also be made doubly sure by the funds derived from the booster movement and be- sides these the members of the two so- cieties are encouraged and vitalized into new efforts along lines of their patriotic workings.

ards message, no explanation of any kind had accompanied the invitation. The belief prevails here, however, that the Emperor desires to discuss the gen. eral submarine situation with Ambas- sador Gerard and possibly explain in detail his views for the benefit of Pres ident Wilson. Diplomats, especially those attached to Teutonic embassies, seemed to regard the conference between the Emperor and the ambassador as holding certain degree of hopefulness.
 Brief consideration was given the sub- marine issue at todays cabinet meeting the first held in week-but Secretary Lansing was able to give only the most meagre information on the subject
 In view of the activity of German gov ernment officials and their apparent in- tention to reach decision as quickly as possible, the President Is disposed not to instruct Ambassador Gerard to press for reply to the American de- mand at once. The question will not be allowed to drag along many more days, however, it is said today.
 The attack by a submarine on the Brit ish merchantmen Industry. reported to- day, and the placing of the crew in open boats 120 miles from shore, created an unfavorable impression on officials, al- though there were no Americans on board, and therefore the United States is not directly concerned. Germany has ad- mitted that it is only proper to place passengers and crews of attacked ves- sels in open boats when they are near shore and the weather is good.
 Optimism regarding the ultimate out come of the situation was apparent in German circles after the receipt by the Germany embassy of dispatches from Berlin, described as indicating that Ger many would attempt to meet the Ameri- can demands.
 Because of the visit of MT. Gerard to the Emperor, officials seemed inclined tonight to believe that it would be irn- possible for Germany to make reply to the American note before early next week.

 Professor Hershey and Everett r. Wheeler of New York, an authority on admiralty law, advocated formation of an international high court after the war to regulate use of submarines and mines.
 MT Wheeler asserted that International law had been largely swept aside in the war.
 '1ts fabric" he said, lis almost ruined as the great cathedral at Rheims. We must not concede one jot or little from the principles of international law, in the interest of humanity. We want something in the future more powerful than mere scraps of paper-an interna- tional court with international police power capable of enforcing its decrees." |"
