Had Americans Abroad.
Although he said his information
was purely "provisional," the consul
cabled ttat the Marina, a "horse trans-
port, with a mixed crew of British and
Americans," was reported Bunk with-
out warning by German submarine
gunfire 100 miles west of Cape Cler
and that seventy of the crew of 104
were missing. Press dispatches have
Indicated that the missing men might
reach shore in their boats.
Anofwr report from Mr. Frost said
that members of the crew of the Ro-
wanmort> had been shelled In their
boats while abandoning the ship, after
being chased by a submarine for forty-
minutes. There were no casualties.
According to the agents in this coun-
try of the Marina's owners, the Don-
aldson Line, the vessel, with some fifty
American hors« tenders abroad, was
pot under charter to the British gov-
ernment as a transport, but was en
gaged in her regular trade as a freight
er and carried horses for the allies as
a part of her general cargo. Under
buoh circumstances, she would be en-
titled to all the immunities of any
other belligerent owner merchantman
•Dd an enemy destroying her and her
contraband cargo would be required
to make due provision for the safety
Of the ship's company unless she was
•unk in the act of attempting to es-
cape.
One of the Many.
Appai ently all depends upon the ac-
curacy of the first reports; whethei
the Marina actually was attacked with-
out warning, or whether she is to bf
recorded as a score of other British
carriers that have gone to the bottom.
Until a full report has come from
Consul Frost no step will be taken by
the state department.
Consul Frost is regarded as a thor-
ough investigator and has played a
part in determining the facts in many
of the most important submarine in-
cidents, including the destructions of
the Lusitania. Affidavits of American
survivors are expected from him with-
in a day or two.
Most of the officials of the depart-
ment are inclined to be very optimi
tic. They point out that time after
time first accounts have made it ap-
pear tint a ship had been sunk ille-
gally and that in every instance since
the Sussex case complete reports have
proved thai no laws or pledges had
been violated by the submarine de-
stroyers.
Tried To Escape.
Comparatively little importance is
attached to the case of the Rowan-
more, oecause it is admitted that the
vessel tried to escape and only stopped
after running fifty miles and having
her steering gear shot away. It is
thought that the panic stricken sailors
leaving their ship could easily imagine
that the submarine was shelling their
boats.

Verdun was the focal point in world
interest, tne oiTensive was delivered
approximately from the eastern bank
of the \feuse river near Bras eastward
to the Damloup battery.
The village and forts of Douaumont,
in the center, are in the hands of the
French, while on tfieir left wing the
Frenchmen have pushed beyond
Thiauinont and captured the Haudre-

along the Bras-Douaumont road. On
their right wing considerable progress
also had been made from Douaumont
to Damloup. More than 3,600 prison-
