ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND, July 28,
The official story of the destruction of
the American steamship Leelanaw by
& German submarine in the North Seq
on Sunday was told toe Willlam P.
Quann, the United States Qonsul, to
day by Eugene Delk, captaln of the
destroyed steamer,
The chief features of Captain
Delk’s story were these:
L. That plenty of warning was given
to the Leelanaw and that the crew
was given all the time necessary to
leave the vessel before it was at
tacked
2. That the crew of the Germgn
submarine treated the seamen of the
Leelanaw with kindness and courtesy,
supplying them with feod
3. The captaln of the submatine de.
clared that he could not spare c(he
Leelanaw because he had not been in
the habit of Jettisoning contraband
Cargoes
4 After the Leelanaw's crew had
left their ship the Germans fired shells
into her, but this method proving too
slow, they discharged . & torpedo
against her. The American ship was
burning when she went down,
5. Most of the seamen on_ the suo
marine uld speak excellent English
and seemed to have been residents of
the United States before the war
broke' out
Th vessel which brought th: Leela
naw rew to port also brought the
rews of the ships Orangewood and
Rubinia, wh had been sunk by Ger

Work on American Protest on
Trade Interference Goes
on, However.
By THEODORE TILLER.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 28.—The
shipping controversy between the
United States and Great Britain took
precedence in the minds of Adminis
tration officlals to-day. Much Interest
was shown in the probable contents In
the new communication which Sir
Edward Grey, the BHritish Foreign
Minister, hag announced will be sent
within a week:
The sinking of the American flax
laden ship Leelanaw by a German
submarine was relegated to second
place, as the Government now’con
siders it to be a diplomatic matter
only, which will require legal argu
ment, as In theg case of the William P
Frye
The request of Great Britain for a
postponement of the publication of its
note, received on Monday, came as a
surprise to official and diplomatic cir
cles here.
Pending receipt of tne supplemen
tary note by this Government, - the
communication being prepared by
President Wilson and Secretary Lan
sing on the British controversy will
not be sent Work will proceed on
the American note, however, as the
British blockade situation becomes
more and more serious from the
standpoint of the American shipper,
and pressure Is being brought upon
the Administgation for early action
To Reply in Detail,
it Is understood 4n British circles
that the only purpose of the London
officials in asking postponement of
the publieation of its note sent last
week was a desire of his majesty's
Government to reply in detall to the
communication of the United States
cabled on July 17, with regard to
cases before prize courts
In this communication the Wash
ington Government declined to recog
nize the validity of prize court pro.
cesdings In the preseat controversy
It wag argued that there is a consid
erable difference of opinion beiween
the two Governments as to the princi
ples of law applicable in prize court
procesdings, and the United States
would stand on the rights of its citt
gens under International law as hith
erto established. This Government
objects to a limitation of the rights of
shippers by the British order in coun
cll or similar British leglalation, and
it was represented strongly that the
ruies ROverning neutra shipping
should be in accordance with interna
tional law and not shaped by legisia

LONDON, July 28.—Hillaire Belloc,
the noted military critic, in a lecture
last night, sald that lif the rallways
north and south of Warsaw, or either
of them, were cut, it would render the
position of the city so precarious that
it ought to be abandoned. That was
the theory upon which the Germans
had been fighting. g
There was a second theory, accord
ing to which it looked as though the
Russians intended to stand on the de
fense line of the Vistula ~nd the
Polish triangle of great fortresses.
The Germans crossed the Narew at
three points, but hate been thrown
back again at one. In the south the
line near Cholm s in great danger.
The odds, as a whole, he sald, are
that the Germans will be able to force
the line because of thelr superiority
in munitions.
The Germans would not come in
side the triangle until they had re
duced one of the big fortresses be
cause If they did so before that was
accomplished they would be destroyed.
Assuming that the forces of the
Russians were large enough . nd the
fortresses held, the Germans always
would be held up. It was a scheme
of entanglement on a very large
scale
If the Russians are able to accom
plish this, it will be a permanent stra
tegic defeat to the Germans on the
eastern front; If they do not bring it
off, they must lose Warsaw and the
Vistula as a line of defense.
