State Department officials today
announced that the Germans had
admitted that it was one of their

Washington yesterday for ten
minutes and made threats of tor
pedoing.
1T was simply a case of mis-

follow under threat of torpedoing
IF it was caught elsewhere.
Officials here admitted that
notification of the sailing sched-
ule of the Washington had not
been sent to Berlin until Monday
