GET U-BOAT DATA
U. S. Officials Receive Rowan.
more and Marina F Facts.

The State Department has received by
cable from the American Embassy in
London summaries OF the affidavits made
by American survivors of the British
steamers Rowanmore and Marina.
From the information at hand 1t is be-
lieved that there no longer is any posi-
bility of a serious controversy over the
Rowanmore. That vessel admittedly at
tempted to escape when it was sunk.
II is thought that the case of the Marina
in whose destruction. supposedly by a
German submarine, six Americans lost
their lives, will center in the determina-
ton OF the character of armed vessels.
Before that question shall arise. however.
the State Department must await the ar
rival by mail OF the affidavits which alone
constitute applicable evidence. 1t has not
yet been established beyond doubt wheth-
er the Marina was sunk by a submarine
or a mine
AS concerns the position this govern
ment will take in case It is established
that the Marina was torpedoed. there is
much doubt. The United States had up
held the right of belligerent merchant
vessels to carry defensive armament, but
all nations do not accept the American
doctrine as regards neutral obligations re-
tating to such ships.
No nation during the present war has
defended more resolutely neutral rights
and championed more heartily the law of
nations that Holland, insisting upon re-
spect for her rights in regard to inter
ferences with the mails where the United
States made concessions
Holland refuses to permit armed mer-
cA,Ss vessels to enter her ports, holding
that she Is Obliged to place such vessels
In the category Of ships that are put on
