Senator Asks Probe
OF Why Refugee Ship
Risked Incident
Nozis Deliver New Note
Exploiting Warning
About Mined Area
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A congressional investigation OF
why the refugee ship American
Legion was sent through a mined
area despite German warnings has
been suggested by Senator Bone,
Democrat, of Washington.
The Army transport, bearing 1877
passengers from Petsamo, Finland
to New York, was believed to have
passed safely through the waters
off Scotland which Germany said
were mine infested 1t left Finland
Friday night.
Meanwhile, it was announced in
Berlin that the German govern
ment has handed to the United
States Embassy a note in which,
according to authorized German
sources, certain MISUNDERSTANDING
and inaccuracies" in the American
note regarding the American Le-
gion "are clarified"
The note was delivered at 6 pm
| yesterday, it was stated.
Risk Of Incident Cited.
Authorized German sources said
they observed with some amuse-
ment" that the United States Gov
eminent was determined to send the
American Legion on its originally
scheduled course near the British
Isles because of lack of food.
Although this was the reason
given after Germany's warning that
she would not be responsible Tor
harm Detailing the ship, the ship
was travelling some 300 miles further
than 1t did on its trip to PetSarlo
the Germans said.
Senator Bone told the Senate yes
| terday that either President Roose-
| welt or some one in the State De-
| change in the ships course and
| thereby riSked an incident which
might have precipitated this coun-
| try into war in a week"
Some one is riSking the lives Of
900 human beings aboard that YES
sell Senator Bone asserted. III
that vessel is blown skyward the
charge will be made that she was
| torpedoed by a German subma-
| rlne-"
Nazis Say Facts Distorted.
The German wireless said last
night the Berlin Foreign Office
pointed out" to the United States
Embassy that the ship was expos
ing itself TO the dangers of mines
and advised less danger
Gus course"
Authoritative sources in Berlin
said Germany now, as previously
was determined to refrain from
bothering any vessel of the Amer
lean military forces and moreover
1 had gone to great pains to give
the German Navy the American
Legions exact position on its trip
to Petsamo.
These sources, observed, however
that the ship now was beyond the
danger zone and further discus
sion was academic.
DNB, official German news agen-
cy, said the facts about the Amer
lean Legion had been distorted by
the American press in order to re-
proach the German government.
The agency said the note from
the United States Government to
the Berlin Foreign Office on Aug
ust l8 treated the matter in an
entirely wrong light The German
Foreign Office, according TO DNB
submitted its own contentious in
the note to the embassy yesterday
