Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, today

from the German Foreign Office as to
whether a German submarine attacked

and passengers
The suggestion that the Sussex may
have been torpedoed in the belief that she
: was a British transport, contained In Ber-
lin dispatches, proved of interest to State
Department officials today.
II was the first admission from Berlin
that the Sussex may have been q sub
marine victim. All previous dispatches
had insisted that the Sussex struck mine.
No confirmation has come from Lon
don of the German assertion that the
Sussex formerly was engaged as car
rier of British trops to the continent But
IL was accepted here that IL a submarine
attacked the Sussex, believing she was
still in transport service, Germany will
Immediately disavow the attack and make
full amends.

The additional evidence materially in
creases the strength of opinion prevailing
in Administration circles that a German
submarine was responsible for the attack
on the Sussex and other vessels. jeopardiz-

A tramcar Inspector was killed and
woman tram conductor lost a lex. Several
houses were wrecked IN one street. one
house was demolished. but the family OF
five escaped without serious injury.
Confirmation OF recent reports that the
raids were for the purpose or locating
the British grand fleet Is seen In the
fact that the coast of Scotland was at

are to follow shortly, ii Is believed
The zeppelins are now being equipped
with new kind Of searchlight of high
power, and also Illuminating bombs which
are used in searching the land and water
beneath the ships
A very careful search was made Of the
coast and particularly the harbors, where
the Germans evidently expected to find
warships at anchor.
The fact that the grand fleet has been
reported in the vicinity of Kirkwall Scot

to attack in the northern part of the
British Isles in hope Of finding the anchor
