LINER MINNEAPOLIS
SUNK, ELEVEN DEAD

London, March 2S-Eleyen persons
were killed in the sinking of the Brit
ish liner Minneapolis by a submarine
in the Mediterranean. All others
aboard were saved.
The London statement that eleven
persons were killed indicates the Min
neapolis was pursued and shelled,
though it is possible they were killed
by the explosion of the torpedo.
First word of the sinking of the
Minneapolis was brought to Marseilles
by the captain of the British steamer
Leicestershire.
He reported that he received a wire
less call for help from the liner, but
arrived too late to be of any help, the
Minneapolis having already gone
down
The Minneapolis was a 13,543-ton
liner one of the largest merchant YES
sells sunk by a submarine. She piled
between London and American ports
before the war and figured in the
work of rescue when the Volturno burn
ed i'm midocean. She was taken over
by the British government for use in
transport and freight service at
the outbreak of the war. She pre-
sumably was carrying troops or sup
plies to Salonih when she was at
tackled.

ORDERS CONSULS To
ASCERTAIN FACTS

Washington, March %. - Evidence
which will fix the responsibility for
the explosion which damaged the chan.
mel steamer Sussex, with a loss of
more than 100 lives, including five
Americans, and sinking of the steam
ship Englishman, with a loss of four
Americans, is anxiously awaited in
Washington.
Unofficial reports already received
indicate that both were the victims
of German torpedoes. If such proves
true it is likely to mean a break be-
tween this country and Germany.
The state department has ordered
every consular representative of the
United States In England and France
to gather all evidence obtainable in
the two cases and forward at once to
Washington.
Information received by the state
department on the sinking of the Sus-
sex, high officials said, did not con
vince them the ship was the victim of
submarine. The reports were de.
clared to be by no means conclusive
i The administration will take no ac.
tion until ii has proof positive, high
/ officials said. It's course will be de
j termined entirely by official reports
4 from it's own officers.
