The State Department, however, as
usual, wants facts before making

was submarined or mined.

the case one for Nserious reflection

cases that may show transgressions
OF German pledges and international
rules.

termed another example of German
'frightfulness." ass
Typical Expressien.
!, Newspaper comment was violently
, denunciatory of the sinking OF the

voiced by the Daily Chronicle,

It was pointed out here today that
there could be no mistal<ing the
character of the Britannia. No sub
marine commander could have failed
to identify the ship. not only from
the fact that she carried the usual
hospital emblems, but because she
was the biggest ship Of her kind In
the world. That the vessel was, there.
fore, the victim of a deliberate attack
was the verdict here.
The admiralty was silent today
either in confirmation or deaial OF q
detailed story from Athens, printed
in the Daily Chronicle, asserting that
two Teutonic submarines lay in wait
for the Britannia and that both
simultaneously fred torpedoes at op.
posite sides Of the giant vessel. One
but the other struck.
The admiralty later announced
that the Britannia carried no wound.
