Washington, Feb. 27.-Many Off
cials here believe that Germany sunk
the Laconia with the intention of
committing al overt act against the
United States.
With tho receipt of the official re-
port of the killing Of the two Amer
lean women President Wilson is put
squarely face to face with attack
without warning and the most acute
crisis in submarine warfare since the
Lusitania was sunk.
Germany had given the United
States assurances that liners would
not be attacked, and the fate Of the
Laconia is clear cut case of delib-
crate breaking of her pledge, and
that an investigation is held un-
necessary.
This is the official view after q
conference between Secretary Ian
sing and President Wilson.
