\ German Schwartzkopf torpedo.
So far a. Is known. the state depart
ment has not yet heard that anyone
aboard the ship saw the periscope OF a
submarine near the SUSSEX. but state
ments that the wake OF torpedo was
seen are understood to have been made.
The department indicated tonight that
the regular course Of diplomatic procedure
would be followed in the cases Of the
Sussex and the Engiishman. Much, 1t
Vas said. probably viii depend upon the
nature Of a statement which the German
government is expected TO make soon.
In Event Of Denial
II the statement denies that German
submarine was concerned the burden of
proof Will rest upon the United States.
In such An event. if the evidence at hand
warranted it the next act Of the Unite
States would be to ask the German gov
eminent for an explanation If. however.
the facts were not deemed to be sufficient
ly conclusive, the United States probably
would be forced TO accept a disclaimer
and allow the case of the Sussex TO take
its place With that of the British steamer
Persia, destroyed BY some mysterious
agent.
The cause of the sinking Of the Persia
apparently is as much OF mystery now
as it was the day after the vessel went
down in the Mediterranean with Ameri
cans on board. In dispatch received
by the state department to-day the Turk
ish government denied that any OF its
submarines were concerned in the disas
ter. Previously Germany and Austria
had denied responsibility. II was irtirna.-
ed al the state department, that further
Investigations were being or had bee1
conducted, although their nature was NOT
disclosed
No American Lives Lost
A dispatch received by the state depart
ment late today officially announced that
TO American lives had been lost on the
Sussex. The message was from Anbassa-
dor Page at London. who said Ambassa
dor Sharp az Paris reported that all the
Americans who were aboard the steamer
had been saved.
Death on the EnsIishman
4 dispatch from Consul Armstrong at
Bristol. England. contained information
regarding the sinking of the Englshman-
This read substantially as follows:
Local agent Of the Dominion Line is
Informed from Liverpool that the total
loss of life on the Engiishnan is seven
horsemen and three members OF the crew
and that the only American lost is P.
