TWO TO ASK GERMANS FOR REPARATION American Will Claim Payment I i in Full For Destruction > l of Leelanaw ] j. REPORT FROM.CONSUL GIVES INFORMATION ! < ] 1 Official Account of Sinking Tells of Provision for < Escape of Crew 1 ( Washington.?With the receipt last week of virtually complete report on ( the torpedoing of the American steam i er Lelanaw by a German submarine, i state department officials began pre- 1 paring a note to Germany requesting payment of damages on the ground that the Prussian-American treaty of \ 1828 has been violated. ; A report from American consul ; Dennison at Dundee. Scotland, i brought to light the fact that the cap- \ tain of the Leelanaw attempted to es- i cape, but submitted to visit and search ( after warning shots were fired. The; right to escape, officials declared, is I conceded by international law, only? t repeated attempts to evade capture or \ forcible resistance being regarded as'c affecting the case. j ( Unofficial reports that the German i submarine commander was unwilling I to jettison the cargo of the Leelanaw j and to allow her to proceed as the treaty of 1828 provides cleared up doubt here on this point.

J 'Uh., rlwenty-two years ago Fred Butter* / .i jitm gave a diamond ring to Ida M. < Adams to bind their engagement, j Miss Adams lost the ring in a logcabin in the woods.

Gibbs, a son of Mr. ^ John G. Gibbs, was in the horrible ac- a; eident in Chicago when over 1,000 people lost their lives by the overturn- 3 ing of an excursion steamer, says The Georgetown Times. Naturally Mr. . Gibbs was uneasy as to the fate of 1 his son and after several efforts and < some delay he received a telegram from the young man saying he was i safe and unhurt. It is needless to say this was a source of great joy to the anxious father and all join with him . in his rejoicing. 11^ , ^Established 1894 <j l*J I t Faculty of 33; 427 Stu Accredited by Virginia ? tion.
