striking terror to shipping off the
New England coast.
Of the eighty-one persons picked
up from small boats by the Ericsson,
not one was injured. Practically all,
however. had lost every personal be-
longing. They were without money or
baggage OF any description. They
had only the clothes they wore.
For the first time in their lives,
officers and men OF the Ericsson saw
babies cooing on the grim warship.
Fourteen babies were in the boats
the Ericsson found bobbing on the
water which had become the grave of
the steamer Stephano, bound from st.
Johns to New York. Many were
sleeping peacefully in the arms of
their mothers or nurses as the life
boats rocked with the gentle sway
OF the sea. Almost all night long, the
boats had drifted. Only the dim
light OF a lantern in the life saving
craft and the soft rays OF the moon
sitting intermittently through the
clouds served to light the scene,
which but few hours before had

The passengers Of the Stephano

ficial word early today of the Ger.
withheld any indication Of his att1-
tude.
He was slated TO talk with German
Ambassador VonBernstorff at p.
m. for the first time in many months.
The conference was arranged some
time ago for the purpose Of discuss
ing Polish relief.
Until late into the night, tele-
graphers worked with Washington to
learn whether German q boats had
violated the protection given by the
imperial government given in the
past But no determining indication
came.
The deepest anxiety over the sit.
uation was manifest, but official
action and official comment were
withheld in keeping with the past
rules. not to act without full facts.
Messages from the state and navy
departments early today said these
branches were hard at work garner
ing information and would rush it
through the moment it was obtained.
Bernstorffs visit is assumed to be
as stated reliably for the purpose Of
delivering Kaiser Wilhelm's answer
to the presidents personal appeal
for cooperation by European rulers to
help starving Poland.
Nevertheless some saw in the visit
an extra significance in view of the
rumored peace moves by Germany as
well as the fact that German raiders
SO spectacularly sunk ships off the
American coast.
Officials here attach little import
ance to the letters delivered by the
U-53, pointing out special German
messenger would have forwarded
these had they been vital instead OF
having them intrusted to an ordinary
American citizen.
AS for new peace move, oficials,
including the president, profess to
have no information. There is every
indication that the governemnt sees
no early end of the war and plans no
part in bringing such an end immed-
lately.

informed President Wilson in pre-.

Daniels is expected to make formal
report later in the day. The presf
dent will make no statement until
complete evidence regarding the sub
marines 10 in his hands.
Daniels reported early advices re-
ceived show no loss Of life as result
Of submarine attacks and that the
submarines gave full notice of their
Intentions before sinking any OF the
vessels. No definite word as yet has
been received from the crew OF the

Nantucket, naval reports said. Sew

to America. Before departing from
Berlin ne held most important con-
ferences with Chancellor Won Beth

members OF the reichstag.
1t is believed here that now Is the
time for Washington to make peace.
Only Washington can do this because
she possesses such great influence
with London and Paris.
Now is the psychological moment,
for if peace is not made now the war
must last another year as the winter
campaign is now prepared.
An armistice is not mentioned, but
It is believed that President Wilson
