GERMANY ADMITS
SINKING VESSELS

Washington, April 14.-Germany is
unable to ascertain whether it was a
German submarine that sank the Sus-
sex.
This statement is made in Berlin's
reply to Americas inquiry on this
point.
Regarding other British vessels ask
ed about by America Germany says,
briefly:
A German submarine fired two
warning shots to bring the English
man to a stop March "a. She refused
to stop and therefore was to%rpedoed.
Precisely the same occurrences took
place regarding the Eagle Point and
Berwindyale-if in the latter case it
really was the Berwindvale. of which
Germany is not SIRE.
1t is impossible to ascertain wheth-
er a German submarine attacked the
Manchester Engineer. Statements re
earding time and place afford no suf.
ticient basis for reaching a conclusion.
Regarding the Sussex Germany
says that, in the region where the
packet was sunk and about the same
time, a long black craft without a flag
was encountered about the middle of
marine. The commander reached the
conclusion it was a war vessel and
sank it.

Cd without warning in the past few
weeks by German submarines.

marines on merchant vessels since
Germany gave notice that ships car
rying guns would be considered as

sulting conclusion that promises

lowed.
AS soon as the president had finish
ed the communication to Germany he
directed that Senator Stone, chairman
OF the senate foreign relations COM
mittee, be invited to the White House
that he might be informed of the i'll
tentions of the administration.
Mr.. Wilson himself was the only Of
