Washington, Feb 10.-Late reports
of ships sunk by German submarines
were scanned eagerly by government
officials today for double reason.
First, there was the ever present
fear that any hour might bring dis

been sunk without warning, or Amer

ed States to use force to protect its
rights.
Second, yesterdays reported falling
