WILSON Waits FOR CONGRESS.
Sinking Of Laconia Officially Declared Violation
Of Principles for Which U. S. Stands.

Of PRINCIPLES for Which U. S. Stands.
Washington, Feb. 27.-The
sinking of the Cunarder Laconla
by German submarine was stat,
ed officially to constitute a clear
clut violation of American rights.
Conclusive official information
at the State Department shows
that two American women lost
their i ,es; that if four other
Americans among the paasense ers
and the IA among the crew were
saved, it was only by good fortune
and that the vessel was sunk
without warning IN direct deh-
ance of all the principles for
which the United States has
stood.
Consul Frost's reports from the
survivors landed at Queenstown
and Bantry show that the vessel
was strnck by first torpedo
without warning at 1920 o'clock
Sunday night $50 miles OF Fast
net, when the steamer was travel
ing at II to IS knots, on her
voyage from New York to Liver
pool.
The engines were stopped as
the ship listed to starboard. wire
less calls we're flashed broadcast,
and six large rockets were sent
up. Thirteen boats with pas
s3ngers and crew got away and
scattered over two or three miles
to prevent collisions in a high sea
rolling in II foot swells
About 20 minutes after the first
torpedo, the reports add, and
while some of the boats were still
nearby, a second torpedo was
driven into the vessel, which sank
three-quarters of an hour after
the original attack. The small
boats with survivors pitched
about during the long hours O.
the night until rescue came.
During this time. the two
American women, Mrs Mary E
Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, OF
Chicago. died of exposure aud
were buried at sea. There were
several other deaths, aot Of
Americans.
No further facts are needed by
this Government, it was stated
officially. and no inquiry of any
sort is necessary to establish the
facts Of the case.
Both White House and state
Department officials seem to feel
that the answer must come from
Congress. The President, they
poin. out, asked for authority to
take steps to prevent Just aucH an
act at the very moment when the
first news was coming over the
cables.
Naval officers are puzzled by
the fact that the Laconia was
torpedoed at night. It has been
an accepted condition of subma
rine warfare heretofore tnat the
U boats were ham mpered by dar',-
ness aud that shlpsin in open waters
were in little danger at night.
It is believed that the German
U-boat happened to be directly in
the liners path, or close to it that
the big vessel was distinguish able
even with her lights out.
