AMERICANS ARE SAVED
ON NORWEGIAN BARK

Washington, March 11-ConsuI Os-
borne at Havre reported today that
when the Norwegian bark Silius, from
New York to Havre, was torpedoed
without warning in Havre roads on
the night of March 9 seven Americans
aboard were rescued.
The loss Of the Silius was first re-
ported last night from London. Three
members of the crew were reported
lost.
State department officials seemed
inclined to view the attack on the
Silius as a serious affair.
So far, dispatches to the state de-
partrnent have simply said the vessel
was torpedoed without warning. No
mention was made of the nationality
of the submarine and there was moth
ing to indicate whether a torpedo
actually was responsible for the sink
ing of vessel orw neither she might
have struck mine. 1t was presumed,
however, that the American consul at
Havre got his Information from mem
bers of the crew, some of whom were
Americans. The department will take
Immediate steps to get positive infor-
nation.
If the Si1ius was torpedoed such an
attack was contrary to the assurances
the United States mas secured from
the central powers.
Secretary Lansing said no action
would be taken until the state depart
rnent had full information.
