TORPEDoED WITHOUT NOTICE

WASHINGTON, March ii.-Secre-
tary Lansing today instructed Consul
Osborne at Havre, France, to Sc
cure and forward Immediately all
available details of the sinking in
Havre roads of the Norwegian bark
Silius, from which seven American
citizens were rescued. Consul Os-
borne had previously reported that
the Silius was torpedoed without
warning onpthe night os March Q.
II torpedo did destroy the bark,
which was bound to Havre from
New York with grain, the govern
ment responsible will be held to
strict accountability. Such an act
would be contrary to all the assur-
ances which the United States has
secured.
Withholding Judgment.
Officials seemed inclined, how
ever. to refrain from forming an
opinion until it was known posi-
lively that torpedo and not a mine
sunk the ship.
Should Consul Osborne's investigation
establish that torpedo actually was re-
sponsible, the United States officials in
dicated they will view the matter as
even more serious than If a passenger
carrying vessel was involved. The state
department considers that American sea-
man hava avan a qraafRr claim TO prO-
lection than passengers. A passenger
travels at his discretion, while a seaman
is compiled to do so by his occupation.
