York until tomorrow.
The st. Paul was expected to arrive
today. This delay probably will make
II impossible for this evidence to reach
Washington In time to be considered at
Fridays cabinet meeting.
Germany does not admit sinking the
Sussex. but presumes It was sunk by d
mine. The note declares n sketch made OF
the vessel sunk In the English Channel
shows many points of dissimilarity
when compared with the Sussex. Inas-
much as only one vessel was sunk in the
Channel at the time, officials are prac-
tically convinced 1t was the Sussex.
The German government admits sink

''the entire forward part was torn away

No submarine was seen by any person
aboard the Sussex. The German note
says the submarine was submerged
when she torpedoed the steamer.
Facts Seem to Tally.
Only in the description OF the vessel
attacked does the German note fail to
tally in nearly every particular with the
facts as collected by the British ana
French governments. II was held here
that the U-boat commander, sketching
his victim hastily by a view obtained
through his periscope. might easily
have made errors in details of outline.
The discrepancy between the descrip-
ton of the steamer mentioned in the
German note and published pictures Of
the Sussex Is not so great as to OFFSET
other evidence, II Is held here.
The German foreign office described
the steamer topedoed as long black
craft
Pictures of the Sussex show that she
was typical low-lying channel boat.
Berlin described the vessel torpedoed
as carrying one funnel and two masts.
The Sussex had one funnel but only one
mast.

possession not only fragments of the
torpedo shot against the Sussex. but
also the names of the captain and MEM
