Lives Toll of Recent Sub
marine Attacks
WASHINGTON. April 3
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, today
tabled Secretary of Stato IanstnR that ho
would "very shortly" hae a final answer
from the Germnn Foreign Office as to
whether a German submarine attacked
the channel liner Sussex In the English
Channel recently, when 25 American cltl
ns were on board
He expects In this early reply an an
Bwer to this Governments query as to
vhcthcr A German submarine attacked the
Englishman and the Manchester IlnElnecr.
on which Americans were among tho crew
nnd passengers.
The suggestion that tho Sussex may
haic been torpedoed In the belief that sho
was a British transport, contained In Ber
lin dispatches, proved of Interest to Stato
Department ofilclals today.
It waS tho first admission from Berlin
that tho Sussex mny hno been a sub
marine lctlni. All previous dispatches
had Insisted that tho Sussex struck a mine
No confirmation has como from Lon
don of tho Gorman assertion tint tho
Sussex formerly was encaged as n car
rier of British trops to tho continent But
It wiii ncccpted hero that If a submarine
nttnclicd the Sussex, belielng she was
xtlll In transport servlco, Germany will
Immediately disavow tho attack and make
lull amends.
Tho President Is rapidly accumulating
pvlilenco tending to Indict German for
recent atturks on unarmed e""cls In the
English Channel.
Word of additional nmdnvlts hns reached
this country. It was learned today
Tho additional evidence materially In
cieases the strength of opinion prentllng
In Administration circles that a Geiman
submarine was responsible for tho nttjrk
on the Sussox and other cssels. Jeopardiz
ing American lles.
The situation today was once ngnln de
scribed as "ery Berlous " Tho Cabinet
will meet tomorrow to take up the addi
tional proofs received by the State Department.
LONDON, April 3 Six more ships,
ouo a neutral, have been sunk by L'-boats.

SIX ZEPPELINS RAW
BRITAIN; TEN DEAD
Centlnneil from 1'nire t.w
called to the Kaiser's headquarter after
tho Schleawlg-llolstcln raid and that they
there worked out, with General von Fai
kenhayn, chief of the German General
Staff, plana, for a great aerial campaign
At lenst 16 persons were killed and
about 100 others Injured In tho raid Satur
day night An ofllrlil account of tills
raid, Issued last night, said
Two airships approached tho north
east coast Saturday night Only one
crossed the coast Tho other turned
back.
For tho present, we know tint 10 per
I sons were killed and nbout 100 Injured
Eight dwelling houses wore demol
ished nnd n serious fire wan caused In
a French polishing shop
Further details nro reported by a corre
spondent In a northeast coast town, who
pais the Zeppelin was sighted there at tl
o'clock Saturday night. It dropped 14
explbslve and 7 Incendiary bombs Ten
men, three women and three children
were killed nnd 25 persons were seriously
Injured In addition nbout SO others re
ceived minor Injuries
A tramenr Inspector was killed and a
woman tram conductor lost a leg Sovernl
houses were wrecked In one stieet Ono
house was demolished, but the family of
five escaped without serious Injury
Confirmation of recent reporti that the
raids were for tho purpose of locating
tho British grand fleet Is seen In tho
fact that tho coast of Scotlnnd was nt
ticked by tho Zeppelin Other attacks
nro to follow shortly. It Is believed
The Zeimellns are now being equipped
with a new kind of searchlight of high
power, nnd nlso Illuminating bombs, which
nro used In searching tho lnhd nnd water
beneath tho ships
A very careful pcarcli was made of tho
coast and inrtlcularly the harbors where
tho Germans evidently expected to find
warships nt anchor
Tho fnct that the grand fleet hns been
reported in tho vicinity of Klrkwnll, Scot
land, evident!) led the German Zeppelins
to nttatk in the northern p-irt of tho
British Isles In hope of finding tho anchor
nge of the fleet That theory was gen
erally advanced today.
How successful the nerlal defense was
Saturday night Is not jot known, but nt
all events n great Improvement was shown
Friday night over the past not only was
n raiding Zeppelin brought down and Its
crew tnken prisoners but the official re
port recounts on exciting nerlal fight be
tween n Zeppelin and n British airman,
Lieutenant Alfred Brandon, who mount
ing to a height of 9000 feet, twite got
over tho raider and die oped several
bombs on It with effect
Tio mnchlno of Lieutenant Brandon
wan hit seVLral times bv machine gun
bullets from the Zeppelin It Is still un
known whether the Zeppelin In this flight
was the L-15 which was In ought down off
tho Thames estuary, or another craft
which Is bellevid to hive dropped its inn
chine gun, petrol tank and other pirts
Lieutenant Brandon Is a intlve'of Wel
lington, N Z He Is 32 eais old and
joined the flying corps only last July
