German Government In
sists the Owego Paid No
Heed to Warning.
CLAIM AT VARIANCE
WITH OTHER REPORTS
Hint No Apology Would
Have Been Made if YES
; sci Had Been Sunk.

Washington, Aug. 31.--Another Ger
man U-boat commanders explanation
that is totally at variance with the
facts as understood by this govern
mcnt was received to-day at the State
Department and mas made a distinctly
unfavorable impression. A note from
the Foreign Office answering Secretary
Lansing's inquiry concerning the at
tack on the American steamer Owego
declared that the behavior of the
steamer was mot in accordance with
international law" and that the cap
tain would have lad "only himself to
blame had his conduct brought about
unpleasant results"
This last phrase, which is the clos
ing thrust of the document, is under
stood 10 mean that if the Owego had
been torpedoed without warning the
German government would have dis
claimed responsibility.
The Owego was shelled by German
submarine on August 3, according to
reports received at the State Depart.
mcnt, in circumstances that indicated
a violation of the assurances gwen by
the German government alter fresl-
dent Wilson's ultlmatum
The German explanation follows:
"As established by the Admiralty
staff of the imperial German navy,
German submarine at 2:f0, afternoon
Of August 3, with very clear weather
and smooth sea, sighted slow gong
steamer of an old type and stood by.
AT a distance of 5000 metres the
submarine made the steamer signal
TO stop and gave two warning SHOTS
As nothing happened on the steamer,
whose flag was not recognizable, but
which nevertheless continued TO pro-
coed on her way, three further warn
ing shots were fred.
GAS the steamer neither made an
understood signal nor stood by hre
was opened on it. After six shots
eleven shots in alb it hoisted
American flag on the forestry and
stopped The distance was now 2,Uoo
metres. The Submarine slgnalied.
Send immediate boat with the papers
to which the captain of the steamer
answered by hosting his designation
signal, but did nothing more.
"When after a further seventeen
minutes no preparations were made 70
launch boat the commander OF the
submarine fred a shot across the
first officer came on board the sub
marine and stated that the captain had
not observed the submarine until then.
"The imperial government cannot
give any credence to this evasIye ex-
cause. since the note of August lS the
America note), mentions ten shots
fred at the steamer. from which it is
undeniably clear that the warning
shots were heard by the captain OF the
Owego, but that no attention was paid
to them.
"Under these circumstances the i'm
perial government finds. itself under T
the necessity of emphasizing the fact
that while the conduct OF the com
mander Of the submarine was IN every
respect correct, the behavior of the
steamer Owego was not in accordance
with the rules of international law;
The captain would therefore have n had had
duct brought about unpleasant re-
Suits"
