cradle betting as 10 whether dividend

money that the rate would be at least
per cent. or on 4 per cent basis

however. the street switched ITS posi-
ton and the belief prevailed that there
would be a dividend.

Germans Reopen Syrian Mines

London. Jan. 2l. -Germany's cam

road constructed southwark through

been largely facilitated by French rails

BRITISH E-BOAT SINKS
PLANE AND WARSHlP
Destroys Aero in Adriatic and
Torpedo Boat.

London, Jan. 2l. A dispatch TO the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Rome says that a British submarine
has sunk in the upper Adriatic an
Austrian hydro and also an
Austrian torpedo boat which went 20
the rescue. taking the crews OF both
craft prisoners.

Washington, Jan. % With Aus
tria's denial that her submarine sank
the Persia, the question Of what caus-
ed tho destruction Of the vessel, again
becomes mystery. Germany has an
nounced that all German submarines
have reported and none OF them was
responsible for the sinking.
Austria's statement probably means
that there will be no diplomatic CON
troversy between the Teutonic powers
and the United States over the Persia
tragedy, in which at least two Ameri-
can lives were lost.
There have been reports from Ger
man sources that an internal explosion
sent down the liner None Of the sur
viyors said that he had seen sub
marine. The only definite information
was given BY one of the ships officers,
who believed he saw the wake OF tor
pedo in the water
40 reply has been sent TO the An
coma note. officials desiring to have all
possible information regarding the
Persia before proceeding further IL
was regarded as probable tonight that
the communication would go forward
in the near future.
, Austria has promised TO punish the
submarine commander who destroyed
the Ancona after she had halted and
while she still had passengers on board
and to make reparation for the Ameri-
can lives lost by payment of indemnity.
The contention of the United States
that merchant vessels must not be de-
stroyed until passengers and crews are
placed In safety is accepted without
reservation, so the communication has
been regarded in official circles gem
erally as practically a complete con-
cession to the American demands.
Notice that several life insurance
companies will claim part Of any IN
demnity Germany may pay on account
of the loss Of life on the Lusitania has
raised question for which State De-
partment officials say there is no prece-
dent. Heirs Of many Of the Lusitania
victims already have presented claims
Final decision as TO whether insurance
company claims OF account of policies
paid out shall take precedence will rest
with Secretary Lansing.
Officials pointed out to-day that
where insurance WAS paid on cargo in
demnity for its destruction usually
went TO the insurance companies rather
than to the owners, but it was said that
there were many arguments IN justin
cation Of different course in the case
Of loss Of life.
Germany has offered indemnity for
the Lusitania victims, but acceptance
By the United States hinges on the
outcome of negotiations now in prog
ress for the settlement OF all issues
growing out of the tragedy.
