GERMANS TRY TO SINK SHIP WITH AMERICAN CONGRESSMEN ABOARD While No Official Announcement is Made, Fact is Tinted in Letters
 From Europe
By HUGH w. RoBERrs

Washington, November 22.-(Spe- cial)-The party of American con gressmen, headed by Senators Kenyon and Kendrick will, on it's return to America, relate narrowing stories of desperate adventure out of which only by good fortune it managed to extri- cate itself.
 While publicity has been withheld, there is scarcely a doubt entertained in Washington but that German sub- marine commanders had been made aware that the distinguished company was at sea and made repeated efforts to destroy the vessel on which it sailed. Inquiry t the state depart ment elicited no tangible information. There is evidence, however, that from some source Germans were appraised of the congressional venture.
 The public had it's first information that the congressional vessel had en- countered submarines from very carefully written letter of Senator Kenyon. The Iowan made no positive statement as to an attack. He did however, picture in unmistakable terms the terror of sea travel in time of war. He described the "devilish hum of the sub" as it sprang from the ocean to send tits victim to the grave" And he expressed in a manner con- veying his great relief the fact that American destroyers finally appeared to convoy the vessel to port
 From another but equally reliable source, it is learned that German sub , marine commanders made repeated eff forts to destroy the ship. It is believed that torpedoes were fired and that the vessel, described by Senator Ken yon as one of great speed, replied. On board were some of the best gunners of the American navy and members of the congressional party have writ ten of the roar of the iron dogs Of war" in the night
 The congressman will tell the en- tire story on their return and that 1t will be one of repeated narrow es- capes is regarded as certain.

VON TIRPITZ ADMITS
 AMERICAS ENTRY IS
 'sDISADVANTAGEOUS''
Says German Morale May Possibly Be Lowered-No Fear of Mili-
 tary Aid Given

Amsterdam, November 22.-"Amer- icas entry into the war is disad- vantageous to us in morale and many other ways" said Admiral Won Tr pitz, former German minister of ma rine, in addressing a meeting of the fatherland party at Dresden. "We ought to have reckoned with the fact that the American trust magnates were bound to desire our defeat.
 "I regret that we did not remain firm in the face of President Wilson's threats. If we had done so, things probably would have been very diff ferent but now we must take them as they are.
 T would point out. however. that from military viewpoint America's $ entry into the war is of little sig nificance to us, because it is the ton mage question that is decisive"
 The admiral expressed regrets that Germany had been late in using that powerful economic weapon the U-boat, but said that notwithstand- ing all the counter measures which the delay gave Britain time to de velop the Germans would be success full if they stuck to their guns,
