FLAG SUNK BY SOBSEA WITHOUT TIP Preliminary Reports to Washington Now Leave in Doubt Only Na tionality of the Under water Vessel. PAGE STARTS INVESTIGATION It is Thought in German Circlet that Regret Will Be Expressed if Berlin at Fault. AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT IS SEEN WASHINGTON, Mar 5. Prellmi nary reports received by the State department today stating that the Gulfllght was torpedoed without warning while flying the American flag left officla's in doubt only as to the nationality of the submarine which committed the attack. Ambassador Page, at London re ported that he had set in motion a detailed investigation. He sent a naval attache and naval constructor to make a technical examination of the vessel. Consul General Skinner and his sub ordinate agfnta have been Instructed by the ambassador to take depositions and statements from officers and members of the crew of the Gulfllght. Jn the meantime Ambassador Gerard has asked the German government for uch Infor mation as it may have on the subject. Not Available Now. ' The facts probably will not be avail able for several days, and until then no decision will be reached by the United States government as to the nature of the representations It will make. It is thought In German quarters that if the German government learns that one of its submarines by mistake did attack the Oulfllght regret will be promptly expressed for the occurrence. Officials here .are inclined to the be lief that whatever facts are disclosed by the Investigation will lead not only to an amicable adjustment of the Gulfllght Incident, but the evereise of greater pre cautions by the German submarine com manders in the future. Smtta'a Statement. The statement received by the State Department from Chief Officer femlth of the Gulfllght follows: . "One p. m., Saturday: heavy weather, fifteen miles west of Bishop, flying large American ensign. following British patrol boats to Bishop, waa torpedoed without warning.

It starts from Philadelphia July S and will make numerous stops on the way. The members of the Omaha Board of Education claim considerable credit for the bell stopping here. Soon after it was learned that the bell was to make the western trip. President Ernst of the board sent a wire to the mayor of Philadelphia, saying, among other things. "There are 80.000 children in Omaha who want to see the bell." A few days later Mr. Ernst received a letter from the mayor, who slated that the telegram had been laid before the proper authorities. Now the Omaha boys and girls are going to sec the bell that first rang out the tidings of liberty. PHILADELPHIA. May 5.
