admiralty staff of the navy through
reliable information; March "a, 1916,
approximately at the same time as the
Sussex, an auxiliary war ship left the
port Of Folkstone with a large trans
port of British infantry on board; on
the same day transport steamer was
torpedoed in the channel: a few min
utes preceding the explosion on the
Sussex, SHE has passed through a mass
Of ship wreckage, which created the
impression that a ship had sunk at
that spot shortly before. All these
facts justified the conclusion that the
only case Of torpedoing which could
be considered under the circum-
stances had struck the British war
vessel. whereas the Sussex had met
with an accident in some other way.
However, on the basis of the Amer
lean material. the German govern
ment cannot withhold its conviction
that the ship torpedoed by the Ger
man submarine is in fact identicau
with the Sussex, for in accordance
with this material the place. the time,
and the effect of the explosion by
which the Sussex was damaged. agree
in the essential details with the state
ments of the German commander. so
that there can no longer be any ques-
ton of the possibility of two indepen-
dent occurrences. An additional rea-
son is constituted by the fact that
officers of the American navy found
fragments of an explosive in the hold
of the Sussex which are described by
them upon firm grounds as parts OF
a German torpedo. Finally the coun-
ter evidence which was deduced in
the note Of the tenth ultimo from

commander and the only reproduo-
ton OF the Sussex then availa bic has
proven to be untenable, inasmuch as
