Amcrica's latest note to Ger-
many on the submarine contu-
versy had gone forward to Bet-
lin today. and A :lrninistration cf-
ficials were interested in knowing
whether Germany would make
any reply. It was intimated in!
German circles that the Imperial
Government might not consik
an answer necessary.

The text of the note, made pub-
lic last night. shows that the
United States accepts the Goo.
man promises that submarb
warfare in the future will be ‘-
tered to conform with recoghiul
rules of international law. It 'I-

Isist:. however. that Germ!”

must not consider her respect for.

. rights of American citizens on the

high seas contingent on the cou-
dnct of any. other belligerent with
whom the United States may he
negotiating. ’
“Responsibility in such matter.
is single. not joint; absolute not
relative." says the note.
Secretary Lansing gave out .a
statement explaining that a large
part of the latest German reply
dealt with questions concerning
the conduct of other belligerent:
which the American government
could not discuss with the Berlin
Government. He stated, however.

that he considered Germanv ha! *

“yielded to our representations."
and that “we can have no ream
to quarrel with her" so long II
the altered submarine policy b
not violated.

A Renter's dispatch from Cairo
received in London says that
two hostile aeroplanes droppd
eight bombs on Port Said on
Monday morning. Three civilian

were wounded. The attackeu'

were driven oif bv fire from anti;-
aircraft guns. There was no

Lloyd's reports that the White
Star liner Cymri: sank at 3
o'clock this morning. All on board
were saved.

Cable dispatches yesterday said
the r3.ooo-ton steamship Cymrin
had been tomcdoed by a German
submarine off the lrish port, at a
p. in. Monday. The Cvmric left

New York April 2o. with a large.

ca‘fivo of war munitions for Liva-
pool. She had been in service as.

13 freighter for several weeks and

carried no passengers. Her crew
numbered about one hundred

men, none of whom, so far as in'

known at the White Star offices
in New York. is an American.

A message received at the
White Star Linc offices in New
York todav from the offices it
London said that the Cymric
sank at 1 a. m. This message con-
cluded: “Believed crew saved."

An earlier cablcgram today. the
first official word received bv the
line’s officials here, was sent from
London last night. reading:

_"Rezret toeinform you that
Cvmric torpedoed .noon today.
Ship believed to be. sinking." _

Later the line‘s officials statetr
that thcv bad confirmation from
sources that the crew had been
