details from survivors as to
whether it was an American VINO
met death. He expected TO secure
full information from the psf sur
Yivors due at Queenstown at 1l:3O
o'clock tonight.
Officials pointed out that while
final reports may show that no
American lives were lost, the fact
will remain that the q Americans
on board were illegally assaulted
on a peaceful mission and escaped
death only by good fortune.
The United States is concerned
in the sinking Of the Laconla also
because a large amount of offlclal
dinlomatlc mail had been entrust-
ed TO her after the American lin
er ST. Louis had cancelled It's sail
ings. The state department after
having had its mail held on the
ST Louis for three weeks had
transferred it 10 the Laconia when
it was definitely announced that
the St. Louis would not sail until
it secured guns.
In the absence of official infor-
nation expected hourly from Con-
sui Frost, no official would venture
an opinion on the outcome OF the
sinking beyond saying that II
would gravely complicate the al
ready critical situation with Ger
many. Whether it may prove to
be the overt act will depend en-.
