Washington, Nov .1. With five Americans
believed to have perished as the result of the
sinking of the steamer Marina, no evidence has
been had yet that the submarine commander
gave them a chance for their lives. The situa
tion is extremely grave. Germany has been ask
ed to have the submarine commander report on
the affair, While United States diplomatic and
consular officials have been directed to cable all
information available. If the present evidence is
wibstaJWpied by Germany, it is agreed here that
BejrS jfac.eje. necessity of4aking drastic ac
tion to .expiate the offense. The United, States
decfaral in jtheSussex note last April that a re
fj$i(itovWqUld sult in the breakmg of diplom
atic relations. The German embassy announced
tc$apr tiat the submarine commander would be
punished if guilty of a violation of Germany's
edes to the United States.

no appeal to them whatever. But as

they were Democrats at heart.
