Washington, Nov. 13.-Secretary Lansing laid before President Wilson today information regarding recent submarine attacks on vessels carry ing Americans but reported that suffl- clent evidence was not yet at hand on which to base action. He said no in formation had been received from the Berlin government in response to an inquiry sent through the American am mbassador there regarding the sink ing of the Marina when six American lives were lost.
 While state department officials con- sider the submarine situation as seri- ous no decision had been reached to- day as to whether Germany has vio- lated pledges given to the American government after the attack on the Channel steamer Sussex.
 No new developments of vital i'm portance in the Mexican situation were reported to the president by MT.

 Law, Wounds Son and Tries Suicide.

Law, "OunOS SO1l ana IT1csS ou1C1uc.
 Dudley, Mass, Nov. 13.-F'rank E. Deen, town counsel and tax collector of Dudley, shot and killed his daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Deen, proba bly, fatally wounded his son, Robert Deen, Physicians said neither father nor son could live. Young Deen in a lucid moment told police officers that his father had been drinking.
 The wounded men were rushed 17 miles by automobile ambulance to a Worcester hospital. Mrs. Deen, wife of the town counsel, said that the shooting was due to excessive drink ing. He had threatened her, she said, and then picked up an army rifle and started for the carriage shed on their estate at Dudley Hill, saying he was going to "get" his son Robert
 The mother ran through the rear door of the house to warn Robert, but she told the police the son re- fused to hide.
 Deen entered the barn calling for Robert and, when he appeared, fired Young Deen was struck in the right side, the bullet penetrating the lung. His wife, Mrs. Lena Deen, 21 years old, rushed to his side when she heard the shot, but was stopped by another bullet which entered her heart. She died instantly. The father turned from the carriage shed to the house calling for his wife. Mrs. Deen had fled meantime to a nearby home, and from there telephoned the police.

DESTROYERS SUNK
 IN BALTIC BATTLE
German WarshipS Raid Russian
 Coast But Are Driven Off IN GULF OF FINLAND
Petrograd Claims Majority of Hostile Fleet Were Destroyed Through Timely Discovery-Seven Civilians Are Killed by Shells.

Petrograd, Nov. 13, via London 3:48 D. m.-Oficial statement issued here today says that a majority of German vessels which took part Fri day in a battle in the Gulf of Finland were sunk.
 The German warships, the state ment says, were 36 knot torpedo craft
 The text of the Russian official statement reads:
 Baltic Sea: On Friday night a pedo craft entered the Bay of Fin land. A dense fog hindered dis covery of the enemy's vessels in good time and in consequence the enemy succeeded in bombarding the Baltic coast for several minutes.
 About 100 shells, mostly shrapnel were fired. Seven civilians, including five children and two rank and file were killed. One woman and four soldiers were wounded. Several houses were damaged and twelve horses were killed.
 "The enemy retired hurried1y but we sank majority of the torpedo craft. Further pursuit of hostile units was abandoned in consequence of dense fog and the. timely discovery of the enemy's traps.
 The Gulf of Finland is an arm of the Baltic Sea, between Finland and the Russian Baltic province. At the eastern end of the bay is Kronsdat the outer port of Petrograd. The en- trance to the Gulf is guarded by the Actresses of Helsingfors, Hango and Revel.
 Msot of the German naval activity in the war with Russia has been in this vicinity. and on one occasion the Germans effected landing in the rear of the Russian line. The fact that only light German warships were employed on Friday, however indi- cates that the purpose of the German admiralty was merely to make quick raid.

DEUTSCHLAND READY
 BUT STAYS IN PORT
Indications Are That SubmersibIe Will Soon Start on Voyage Across
 Atlantic Ocean.

New London, Nov. 13.-That the German submersible Deutschland is soon to make a start on her return trip across the Atlantic is evident by the taking on board the craft to- day of a large quantity of provisions, including liberal supply of fresh meats. While every inch of space is utilized on the undersea boat, it is possible by cutting up meat to store a considerable quantity. The cook ing is done with electricity.
 The boat was almost on an even keel this morning, indiacting that her cargo was very nearly placed. It is understood however. that local mer- chants have orders to be delivered Tuesday, which indicates that the craft will not get away today, and it may be Wednesday before she is ready to leave. It was stated early this afternoon at the custom house that clearance papers had not yet been issued.

French Military Man Says Country Expects Greater
 Cooperation.

London, Nov. 13, 9:45 a, n,-The l Express features an article in todav,s issue by a French military writer. : Captain Philippe Millet, calling on Great Britain to take over more of the western front and relieve the French.
 Captain Millet says it is necessary to speak plainly; so that the alliance of Great Britain and France cannot be based on a mere exchange of cona- plaints and that all the Frenchnen are wondering whether the English fully realize what is happening in France. He says the French recog- nize greatly what Great Britain has already done but feel that the time has come for the British army to re- lieve the French more efficiently.
 The writer cites utterances of French deputies to support his claim and re- marks that the British are holding only 150 kilometers of the front com- pared to 58O kilometers held by the French. He adds:
 There is not one village in France where the people do not expect our friends to enable us, after tWenty-sev- en months hard struggle to have some rest during the third quarter and prepare for an advance next year without having to exhaust ourselves. This is what our people feel, They have put their trust in Great Britain and they all expect the relief of a good bit of the French line to be made soon.''
