BERLIN, Nov. 2s.-Details of the
sinking of the, interned German war
feet at Seapa Flow by German sail
ors, which resulted in additional
peace demands by the allies were re-
vealed here today.
"We could not be blamed. for the
British left Us entirely alone" said
the informant--a German sailor who
was on the feet. I'VE were free to
move about as we liked, although the
ships were forbidden to signal to
each other. That puzzled the British,
too. for the ships were all sunk at the
same time by Encouragement.
After the plot was Matched orders
were written out and sealed in a bot
tie. Then they were carried at night
by swimmers from one ship to an
other. The best swimmer of every
ship was selected.
Although four nights were spent at
this work all of she war craft were
not warned. The submarines knew
nothing of the plans and were not
sunk"

latest outrage against an American
citizen and continued its considera-
tion Of the Mexican governments re-
fusai to meet the demands of the
United States for the Immediate re-
lease of William o. Jenkins. Ameri-
can consular agent.
Scant reports received here indicate
that James Wallace. the latest Amer
lean to be slain by a Mexican, was
the victim OF an unvarranted attack.
The State Department will press for
reparation and the puni7hment of the
Carranzista soldier who IL alleged
to have killed Wallace, because a
mule upon which the American was
riding kicked over a machine gun.
The fact that the slayer has not
been taken into custody is not pleas
ing to officials here. for IL indicates
q disposition upon the part OF the
CArranza government to look lightly
upon outrages against Americans and
forebodes difficulty in settling the
case.>
The State Department has Issued
orders to the American embassy In
Mexico City to forward full particu-
lars as to the report made by the
Mexican government that Jenkins
told conflicting stories before the
court. AS soon as this information
has been received the state Depart

The Mexican crisis is attracting

is a possibility that strong action may
be taken which will bring the entire
Mexican question 10 q complete show
