Although the army will proceed. to
use the railroad on a. commercial
basis, which is construed here as
meaning that all service shall be paid

ment will negotiate further with Car
rama to bring about q more definite
understanding. The response Is re-

General Funston will desire. to place

NOTE OF INQUIRY. SENT.
Ask Germany Directly About Recent
Disasters.


Washington. - Secretary Lansing,
with the approval Of President VIII
son. has instructed Ambassador Gerard
to inquire Of Germany whether any of
its submarines torpedoed the British
Channel steamer Sussex upon which
25 American citizens we're travelling,
or the British horse ship Englishman,
which went ono with loss of one
American life.
The United States has no conclusive
proof that submarine attacked either
ship, but all evidence at hand indicates
both were torpedoed without warning.
Upon the response of the Berlin For.
eign office to Mr.. Gerard's inquiry
may depend the. next step of the
American government. 1t was made
clear that no action has been taken
which might be construed as a demand
or protest.
President Wilson laid all the state
departments reports on the subject
before the cabinet. 1t was after the
meeting that 1t became known. that
inquiry would be made Of the Ger.
man government.
