Complete Text Of German
Note on Sussex Case

IAscertainment OF the fact whether the
channel steamer Sussex was damaged
by German submarine was rendered
extremely difficult because no exact
details Of time, place and attendant
circumstances of the sinking were
known and also because it was impos-
sible to obtain picture Of the ship
before April 6. Consequently the in
IVestigation had to be extended to all
action undertaken on the day in ques-
ltion-March 24-in the channel in the
general region between Folkestone and
Dieppe.
I'm this region on March "a long
black craft without a flag, having a
gray funnel. small gray forward works
and two high masts, was encountered
about the middle of the English chan
mel by German submarine. The COM
mander reached the definite conclusion
that it was q war vessel and indeed a
mine layer of the recently built Eng
| lish Arabic class. He was led to that
conviction by the following facts:
First, by the plain. unbroken deck Of
the ship; second, the form OF the stern,
sloping downward and backward like
q war vessel; third, she was painted
like a war vessel; fourth, the high
speed developed, about eighteen knots;
fifth, the circumstance that the vessel
the light buoys between Dungeness
and Beachy Head, which, according to
the frequent and unvarying observa-
tions Of German submarines, is about
the course Of commercial vessels, but
kept in the middle of the channel, on
a course about in the direction of LIE
HaVre.
consequently he attacked the ves-
sci at 1855 in the afternoon, middle
European time, one and one-half sea
miles east of Bull Rock bank, the
submarine being submerged. The tor
pedo struck and caused such a violent
explosion in the forward part of the
ship that the entire forward part was
torn away to the bridge.
"The particular violent explosion
warrants the certain conclusion that
great amounts Of munitions were
aboard.
The German commander made a
sketch Of the vessel attacked by him,
two drawings of which are enclosed.
The picture of the steamer Sussex,
two copies of which are also enclosed,
is reproduced photographically from
the English paper The Daily Graphic
of the 27th ultimo.
"A comparison of the sketch and the
picture shows that the craft attacked
is not identical with the Sussex; the
difference in the position Of the stack
and shape Of the stern is particularly
striking.
mo other attacks whatever by Ger
man submarines at the time in Ques-
tion for the Sussex upon the route be-
tween Folkestone and Dieppe occur
red. The German government must
therefore assume that the injury to the
Sussex is attributable to another cause
than avn attack by a German submar-
inc.
For an explanation of the case the
fact may perhaps be serviceable that
no less than twenty-siX English mines
were exploded by shots by German
naval forces in the channel on the
first and second of April alone. The
entire sea in that vicinity is, in fact,
endangered by floating mines and by
torpedoes that have not sunk. Off the
English coast it is further endangered
in an increasing degree through Ger
man mines which have been laid
against enemy naval forces.

Northern Red River
District Flood Is
Growing More Serious
! cams Assuming Gigantic Proportions With Rapid
= Melting of Snow-But Eleven Feet Below
Grand Forks Street Levels.

Grand Forks. N. D., April 13.-
Ihroughout the northern Red river
valley conditions are becoming grave
as the result of the heavy rainfall of
yesterday, the melting of much snow
and the breaking up of the ice on
the tributaries of the Red river Of the
North, causing coulees, bitches and
streams to break from their banks,
flooding fields, inundating homes and
destroying property that under nor
NAL conditions is miles away from the
bed of the streams.
The Red river of the North has pass
ed the 35-foot mark, above low water,
or nearly within II feet of the Third
street level. On the east side the
stream has broken over the banks and
has completely surrounded several
homes on Third and Fourth streets.
Second street is also on the verge Of
inundation.
Carries Away Posts.
Ice floes jamming against the abut-
ments of the Great Northern bridge
crossing the stream in the heart of the
city, knocked two posts down and
weakened the bridge slightly. Pas
-senger train No. 35 was stopped at
the East side and the passengers
alighted and walked to Grand Forks,
while the train proceeded with caution
across the river. The supports that
nave DSen lOOSSnSQ are ordinarily on
dry land and it is believed that the
earth at the base became loosened,
causing them to give when the heavy
ice crashed into the bridge.
No immediate danger is anticipated
and the railroad company has station
ed a watchman on the bridge in order
that any further trace of weakness
may be apprehended before serious
damage could result. All of the trains
are crossing regularly and the struc
ture is showing no signs Of weakening
under their weight.
Much Property Inundated.
The Grand Forks golf links in Lin
coin park and all of the low land
along the shore ~ the stream are
now in places under several feet OF
water and at some points the distance
across the stream is several blocks.
The swift current has taken all
loose property down stream and hourly
chicken coops, benches and boats are
hurled before the floating ice.
Sewers in the city continue to flood
Easements in sections outside of the
danger line while along DeMers ave
nile the business homes with under-
ground apartments have been caused
much Inconvenience from the stream

which has reached higher level than
the basement floors.
Farmers Suffering.
Reports from the surrounding coun-
try indicate that the danger is far
from being over as coulees, marshes
and bitches, formerly but mere pools,
are now several miles wide and have
taken farm property within their
borders, causing thousands of dollars
worth Of damage.
The Tabor ditch,y nine miles north
of East Grand Forks, and emptying
into the Red river from the east, is
a seething torrent and has extended
over miles of territory. Farmers
throughout that section of the county
are forced to take extra precautions
to save their stock and property.
Travel in Boats.
At the B. o. Paulsness farm on the
Minnesota side of the river the water
has completely submerged the greater
portion Of the farm and the house,
barns, chicken coops and granaries
are entirely surrounded by water.
A boat is being used to travel from
the house to the barn entrance. The
water has crept up to the floor Of the
barn and a rise of but a few inches
will necesSitate the building of double
bottomed stalls for the stock.
According to word received late last
night, several other farms in that
vicinity are also under water and in
dieations point to no early abatement.
The supply appears to be unlimited
and it is feared that the conditions
now existing will continue for several
days.
Throughout the entire valley SINH
lar conditions are reported and the
following are the specials received late
last night:
Grafton Streets Submerged.
Grafton, N. D.. April liberation is
now in the heart of a great body of
water as the result of the overflowing
of the Park river, a tributary to the
Red. The city streets are partially
inundated, conditions are rapidly be-
coming worse and it is feared that the
entire city may be submerged. The
main stream is now cutting a new
channel, following q coulee near the
city, and forcing volumes of water
over the prairies. The Standard Oil
company's buildings near the Great
Northern tracks are now being flooded,
and the occupants -sara forced to de-
.sert the struetIr 3rlyE today. yzsz-.

A TAxLEss STATE.

We have been disposed to credit
Moses Alexander with having reached
the limit in the way of imposing upon
the credulity of the people when he
got a good many thousand votes on
the promise that he would save the
people a million dollars a year If he
was elected governor. But the COVER
nor Is soon to be outclassed In the
matter of saving money for the people;
in fact, the saving of a measly million
year looks cheap compared with the
proposal that now comes from an as
pirant for gubernatorial honors, who
announces that if elected he will in
troduce system that will not only
save the million a year Moses said he
would save but didn't, but actually
relieve the people Of Idaho of the sur
den of taxation altogether. This We
understand is to be the keynote of ID.
" Davis camr align for governor a
taxless state. Theoretically the plan
is all right, but it is not likely that
the time will ever come when it can
be operated successfully, Mr.. Davis

as fast as there is a demand for it at
the constitutional limit of not less
than SO per acre, the state would
ers all the money they need at low
rate of interest, secured by mortgages,
and the interest from these loans
would be sufficient to pay all expenses
of government. Here is a far more in
viting bait than the million dollar
saving promised by Moses. and it is up
to the other Davis to offer the poor
and own-trodden people something
equally as good if he hopes to be in
the race at the finish. There is one
point in this brilliant scheme which is
not clear but which d. w. can doubt
less explain at least as lucidly as
Moses did his million dollar saving.
