1t was indicated last night by Of
iciaIs close to the German Embassy that

hat German submarines torpedoed any
IF the unarmed merchantmen which
have been sunk recently. The general
viewpoint, it was stated, was that the
Sussex and the Englishman and the
Tubantia certainly, and the others, in
all likelihood. were victims of British
floating mines which had been torn loose
from their moorings by the recent mine
laying operations of the British in the
English Channel, the March storms over

Diplomatic Break Likely.
Germany's denial that any of her
submarine commanders would so far
disobey orders as to torpedo an I'M
armed passenger ship like the Sussex
will be strengthened, it is stated. by
the fact that Admiral Won Tirpitz
was recently withdrawn as head Of
the German navy.
While the State Department waits
with anxiety for some authoritative
word from Mr.. Gerard, rumors are rife
that the President contemplates some
decisive step that may lead to break

Ultimntum to Be Issued
Second-This ultimatum would be to
the effect that upon the occurrence of
any other violation OF International law
by a submarine against a vessel on
which there is an American citizen, the
United States must break of diplomatic
relations with Germany.
Third-The ultimatum would necessarily
include a statement that as the United
States cannot be forced to suspend its
commercial relations with Europe. It
must take such steps as 1t deems neces-
sary to safeguard those commercial in
terests in the areas threatened by the
submarines Of the central powers.
FOurth-The ultimatum would be de-
cided on by the State Department and
the President and submitted by him to
the leaders in Congress
Fifth-There would then follow a state
