WATCH OVR POlICK BRITISH PEERS WANT FACTS ABOUT U. S. POLICY SUB RAID STIRS THEM No IlepiTiscntation rntil America Mum S|M)fcen Hut Dlitcumion in Home of lionls Shows That Sub Attacks are Not Conducive to Good Feeling Between Two Countries. Direct charges that the United States had violated its neutrality and then veiled innuendoes of collusion between American officials and the commander of .the German subma rine U-S3, were made Tuesday in the House of Lords by several of the most prominent peers in England. The question concerning the Ger man submarine raid in American waters was raised by Baron Charles Beresford, former commander of the British hpme fleet; Earl Grey, for mer governor general of Canada, and others. Baron Beresford asked whether British cruisers were removed from American waters owing to American objections, and if so what steps the government proposed for the protec tion of British vessels. The foreign secretary said In re ply to Lord Beresford’s question: "The best thing I can do is to read a summary of what actually passed between the United States government and his Majesty's gov ernment on this subject since the war began and what we understood the view of the United States govern ment to be.” • Viscount Grey then read: "On the fourteenth of September, 1)14, the British ambassador at Washington telegraphed that the United States authorities had inter cepted wireless communications from H. M 8 Suffolk to New York asking for supplies and newspapers and he Informed us that the United States government considered that this would he making use of United States territory as a base for supplies and Infprmation as to shipping move ments through the newspapers "The proceeding was, as far as 1 am aware, not repeated rod no offi cial protest was received, so far as 1 have been able to discover In the foreign office. "On the fifth of October. 1)14, we had a private communication re specting the presence of British ships near New York harbor We had an unofficial communication later on deprecating the same thing and say ing that In the past such hovering of foreign veeaeia In the vicinity of the great ports of the United States had forced that government, owing to the public feeling aroused, to lake a very strong Una, and that If the practice continued it might be construed Into an act of unfriendliness requiring some action In the part of the United States government.

"In reply to these various re quests, private and semi-official and official, from the United States gov ernment, we asked to be Informed on which ground the Malm was* made that belligerent operations which were legitimate In one part of the high seas were Illegitimate in an other, admitting that the complaints made by the United States govern ment were not based on any actual legality, but on irritation which the continued presence of belligerent ves sels in close proximity to United State ports naturally caused to a neutral country." Lord Beresford bitterly criticised the United States note making public the position of the American govern ment on the question of belligerent submarines entering its harbors. He declared the American view of what constituted neutrality' was “comical.” The submarine note, he asserted, was "too brief to say the least.” Ho declared that the appearance of United States destroyers on the scene of the torpedoing made it ap pear that a previous arrangement had been entered into between the Ger man U-boat commander and Ameri can naval officials. It was based ap parently upon reports that during his call at Newport the German offi cer had requested that destroyers be sent out. Eart Grey wanted an assurance that the report was untrue that American commanders of destroyers had acceded to the request of the German submarine commander to clear out of the way and give him room to blow up ships. “With regard N to the U-53.” the foreign secretary explained, "we do not know *t”t steps were taken by the United S*atea for patrolling Us waters or In regard to coming to port sad securing information from news papers.

The statement follows: “I have now received replies from the King of England, the president of France, tbe emperor of Russia, the p emperor of Germany and Austria to my letter of September 26 in which I tendered the offices of this govern ment in negotiations looking to a fresh consideration of the pocsibll— Ity and method of relieving Poland.
