FRANK'S APPEAL
From Georgia Federal Court's Re
fusal to Release Him in Habeas
Corpus Proceedings
(By Ahsorintcd PrcM.)
LONDON. Fob. 20.?(10:10 p. m.) ?
A German submarine appeared in the
Irish Sea early today and torpedoed
without notice the British coaninc:
steamer Cam bank, of 440 tons regis
ter. Three of the crew were killed
and a fourth was drowned while the
men were taking to the boats. The
remainder or the crew and pilot, 20
in all. were saved.
One or the men in describing the
experience of the Cambank, said:
"We were bound from Huelva. Spain,
for Liverpool with a .cargo of copper.
When outsido of Aralwych, on the
north coast of Wales, we took aboard
a pilot. We had gathered speed
when a periscope was observed about
200 yards away. The engines were
reversed, but while the vessel was
turning the-submarine discharged a
torpedo which struck us amidships.
'We launched the life-boats and
managed to pull clear before the Cam.
bank sank. We had no time to save
anything and most of us were scantily
clad and much exhausted when a
boat took up in charge and towed us
into Amlwych harbor." .
. A _steamer? which., has arrived., here
reported'- that she had been warned
by the Cambank; that there was a sub
marine it) the- vicinity. She at once
put on full steam and. being a speedy
vessel, reached port safely.
This was the only incident con
nected willi the German submarine
blockade of the British Isles report
ed during the day. It came about the
time that the Anglo-French fleet
was bombarding the Dardanelles forts
and while the Russians, according
to a.telegram from Petrograd, were
defeating the Germans at Ossowetz,
Poland, and driving back to the fron
tier the troops which had attacked
the fortress.
Except for the loss of life, the sink
ing or the Cambank was not In itself
a serious matter, but the presence of
a German submarine near the route
which tho Atlantic liners take to and
from' Liverpool and along which many
steamers pass daily, 1b certain to
cause uneasiness.
While this not not the first time that
a hostile submarine has been ! in
these waters, the last one to visit
them gavo, tlu crews of three' ships
which sank an opportunity to leave
..the vessels before sinking them.
The Cambank apparently had slow
. ed -down to pick up her Liverpool
. pilot when she was observed by the
submarine and torpedoed. While the
sinking of this steamer, can, however,
raise no diplomatic problems, a sef
Ioub situation may arise out of the
torpedoing of the Norwegian tank
steamer Bel rid go; which, according
to tho British-admiralty, was struck
by a torpedo off Folkestone.
- The Norwegian, foreign office has
ordered the Norwegian Consulate, at
London to mako an immediate inves
tigation and report, with the object,

British arid French Fleets
Bombard Dardanelles Forts
(By Aisoelotcd Preat)
LONDON, Feh. 20.r-(?l:20 p. m,)~
: The firrt serious attack .by'the Brit
ish ' a'nc? French Mediterranean fleets,
Slsted by aeroplanes and seaplanes,
n the Dardenelles forts, which be
gan yesterday, -as* continued . today,
has met with consid?rable success, ac>
cording to the Britishofficial account
and unofficial ? accounts received at
Athens from the tsland of. Tenedos..
ht the entrance to th? straits.;
The Turkish official ' .tepbrt;, how
ever, stated that ho damage had been
dene to the jfcrts ssd that : the ess -
naine? of the defenders consisted of
one killed and one wounded, but that
three of the warshlpa were damaged
by shots from the forts.
V British reports said that, the forts
on the European side cf the strait*
Iwere silenced yesterday and that only
pie of the forts on the- Asiatic, side
:Vas s till firing. last nifht, while notre
? the warships had teen dam ago X
e Greek, accounts said that the
mbardraent 'has heen issued by the
imlr&Uy as yet.
The bombardment must have been
to of the most serious ever under
ken, la the opinion of naval . ex
perts, for no less . than eight battle
ships and armored cruisers took part',
these warships having a total of thir
ty 1,0 l-A inch and six 10-lntiA ^gun>
which outranged the guns of the
forts.
Early Friday morning this fK-et, in

UNITED STATES WILL NOT
REPLY TO EITHER BRITISH
OR GERMAN NOTES
ALREADY ENOUGH
HAS BEEN SAID
Opinion Prevails Among Official?
American Note Has Had Its
Desired Effect
(P.v A.wH-jaW*d Picss.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.?The Unit-]
cd States probably will make un reply
?ur the present at least, to either the
British or German notes regarding
the use of the Americau ling on for
eign vessels and the dangers to neu
tral shipping in the naval war zone
but will stand firmly on its warning
against destruction of American lives
or vessels.
Many officials who know the situa
tion expect some further move only
in event of an overt act. This was
indicated in high official quarters to
day.
In the case of the note to Great
Britain objecting to any general use
of the American flag by British ves- 1
sels, the communication from Eng
land was not regarded as altering the
original warning of the United States
against the measure of responsibility 1
which would seem to be imposed on
England if any American vessels or
lives were lost as a result of such
general practice.
The American government already,
it was point.nl out, has stated in em
phatic language that Germany would
be held to "strict accountability" for
any loss of American vessels "or
lives" and t?i?s warning is construed
by administration officials to- be suf
ficiently broad also to cover any in
Juryr*to. American citizens aboard
belligerent vessels.
The arguments in both the British
and German communications charging
violations of the rules of International
law and warfare, It Is held by Ameri
can government officials, arc of no
concern to the United States. . The
breaking down of the doctrines of in
ternational law as between belliger
ents docs not, in the view of high
officials hero., effect the status of
thoso rules as between the United
States and Great Britain and Germany
with whom this country is at peace.
There is every prospect that the
long British note replying to thn
American protest of December 28, on
the subject of contraband will bring
forth a rejoinder from the United
Slates.
.The state department of late has
received comparatively tew com
plaints of detentions and seizure and
the opinion prevails among officials
that the American note has had its
desired effect.
As for the note which Great Britain
sent In the case of the American
steamer Wilhelmina,' bound for Ger
many with a cargo of foodstuffs, now
held by the British prize court, the
state department will enter Into no
further correspondence on the subject,
awaiting the decision of the prize
court before making diplomatic rep
resentations. The decisions of the
court is expected, however, to be made
within a reasonable length of time and
if, in the opinion of the state depart
ment, there Is a. denial of Justice to'
the Amer tea ii owners, n protest will
bo entered.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 20.?Renewed
complaints were made today to the
State department In behalf of the Ger
man and AuEtito-Hungarian embas
sies that submurines were being built
in the United States and shipped In
sections to Canada for reshipment to
England. Secretary Bryan promised
an ofllclal Investigation. Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel company and owner of the Union
Iron Works, is said to have cancelled
"imllar contracts with the British
government several months ago after
a conference with Secretary Bryan,
on the theory that they constituted
a violation of neutrality.
Naval oflicers detailed at the var
ious private yards where contracts
for the United States government are
being executed recently reported to
Secretary Daniels that the Union Iron
Works of Snn Francisco and the Fore
River Shipbuilding Company of
Qulncy. Mass., were building ten sub
marines each in addition to those
they have under eonttruetlon for by
Great Britain before the outbreag of
hostilities and could not be deliver
ed until the was was over.
The Inspectors reported that uone
nf these boats could be completed for
several months and that none of their
component parts had been shipped by
the" builders.
So far as the o?lcials here know,
no- breach of the agreement between
Mr. Schwnb and the government Is
contemplated, but it wub made evi
dent that notwithstanding the legal
opinion secured by the steel company
aflirmlng Its right to ship parts of
war vessels ?o belligerents, the gov
ernment will * not permit this to be.
(lone without appealing to the su
