FLAG SUNK BY SUBSEA WITHOUT TIP Preliminary Reports to Washington Now Leave in Doubt Only Na- tionality of the Under- water Vessel. PAGE STARTS INVESTIGATION It is Thought in German Circles that Regret Will Be Expressed if Berlin at Fault, AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT IS SEEN WASHINGTON, May 6.-—Prelimi- nary reports received by the State department today stating that the Gulflight was torpedoed without warning while flying the American flag left officia's in doubt only as to the pationality of the submarine which committed the attack. Ambassador Page at London re- ported that he had set in motion a detailed investigation. He sent a naval attache and naval constructor to make a technical examination of the vessel. Consul General Skinmer and his sub- ordinate agents have been Instructed by the ambassador to take depositions and statements from officers and members of the crew of the Guiflight. Jn the meantime Ambassador Gerard has asked the German government for such infor- mation as it may have on the subject, Not Available Now. The facts probably will not be avail- able for several days, and until then no decision will be reached by the United States government as to the nature of the representations it will make. it is thought in German quarters that i the German government learns that one of its submarines by mistake did attack the Gulfiight regret will be promptly expressed for the occurrence. Officials here jare inclined to the be- lict that whatever facts are disclosed by the investigation will leaa mot only to an amicable adjustment of the Guifiight incident, but the evercise of greater pre- cautions by the German submarine com- manders in the future. Smith’s Statement. The statement recelved by the State Department from Chief Officer Smith of the Gulflight follows: “One p. m., Saturday; heavy weather, fifteen miles west of Bishop, flying large American ensign, following British patrol boats to Bishop, was torpedoed without warning. Submarine was seen twenty-five minutes about three and a half miles ahead. Submerged about five minutes later, Nothing more seen of it. ‘age on bluff starboard bow, below water line.

It starts from Philadelphia July 3 and will make numerous stops on the way. The members of the Omaha Board of Jducation claim considerable credit for the bell stopping here. S8oon after it was Jearned that the bell was to make the western trip, President Ernst of the board sent a wire to the mayor of Philadelphla, -saying, among other things, ““There are 20,000 children in Omaha who want to see the bell.” A few days later ™M Ernst received a letter from the ma, who stated that the telegram had been laid before the proper authorities. Now the Omaha boys and girls are going to sec the bell that first rang out the tidings of liberty. PHILADELPHIA, May 5.—~According to plans made by the councilmanic commit- tee In charge of the trip of the Liberty Beli to San Francisco, the relic will leave here ou July 3, Stops will be made by the special train on which the bell will be carried at Chieago, Topeka, Kansas City, Omaha, Cheyenne, Denver, Salt Lake City, Ogden; Huntingdon, Ore.; Spokane, Seattle and Portland. Arrangements will probably be made for other stops.
