Proof LACKING.


AS the situation now stands, the
United States has no conclusive proof
that submarine attacked either shin.
but all evidence at hand indicates that
both were torpedoed without warning.
Upon the response of the Berlin for
eign office to Mr. Gerards inquiry may
depend the next step Of the Ameri-
can government. At this time, it IS
made clear no action has been taken
which any sense might be construed
as demand or a protest
Cabinet Conference
President Wilson laid all the state
departments reports on the subject
before his cabinet today. Later it
was learned that instructions had been
forwarded to Ambassador Gerard.
The general situation was still COM
plicated tonight with the recent of a
dispatch from the consul at Queens
town announcing that the British
steamer Manchester Engineer had been
torpedoed without warning. Two Ne
gro American seamen were aboard and
rescued Further information, the con-
sui said. he was forwarding and will
be waited before the department UNI
dertakes this case. If a submarine at
tackled either the Sussex or the Eng
lishman it is admitted that the re-
sultant situation will be most serious.
An unofficial but authoritative state
ment has been made that Germany, il
it was found that one of her submar-
ines torpcdoed the Sussex, Immediate
ly would offer reparation, punish the
submarine commander and take steps
to satisfy the United States that the
act was a violation of the instruc-
tions. While official expression of opin-
ion was withheld, it was intimated
that should such development occur
the position of the United States would
not be defined until it was known that
the men responsible for violating the
rights Of humanity. the principles Of
international law, the solemn assur-
ances given by German. actually had
been punished.
The administration has not decided
just what action will be taken If Ger
many fatty denies that any Of it's sub
marines was concerned in either case.
even though the circumstantial evil
dence received clearly indicates the
contrary.
Such state Of affairs, officials say.
will be met when it arises. II future
developments should cause the Presi-
dent to determine that the breaking
off Of diplomatic relations with Ger
many is necessary he will go before
Congress, announce his decision and
explain the acts leading up to it. While
the President has full authority to
break off relations, he realizes that
such an act almost inevitably would
lead to war and therefore. would feel
himself obligated to fully inform Con-
gress. the war making body Of the
government. before taking such a step.
Among officials Of the administra-
ton there appears to be a difference
of opinion regarding the course the
United States should pursue. should
Germany deny responsibility for the
attacks and the American government
