(Continued from Fate One.) from the captain of a steamer, who said that while he was cruising near Tobruk , ha witnessed the sinking of an American steamer by a subnemible. lie thought tha name of this steamer was tha Colum bia. Inquiries made later, especially throimh tha British authorities, proved i that the ship waa the Communlpaw. The Communlpaw had aboara tons of oil and bad been held up at Genoa to aettle a question concerning l.ooo tons of this oil. which the Italian authorities suspected might be contra band. The Communlpaw waa released after a eatlsfactory explanation had been received. roaimaalpawr RBore by Lloyds. LONDON, lee. a A telegram from Al exandria, Egypt, received today by Lloyda, says that the American steam ahip "Communlpaw, reported sunk off the coast of Tripoli by a submarine, waa at Alexandria on Monday, it is Inferred that Bosslbl soma confusion hai arisen In regard to the Identity of the vessel torpedoed. . . If the report of the torpedoing of the Communlpaw la substantiated. It must have discharged its cargo of oil and have been on the way to another port when attacked. It is recalled that the point at which the Communlpaw is said to have been sunk corresponds closely to the position of the American tank ahlp Pe trollte when It was attacked by a sub marine on Sunday. The announcement from Rome of the torpedoing of the Communlpaw said It had been aunk near Trobuck, Tripoli. The position of the Petrollte was given aa off the eoutheaat coast of the island of Crete. The Island lies directly north of Tripoli, about 100 mllea from the African coaat Prlrolllo Shelled. WASHINGTON. Dec. t. Word that the American Standard Oil tank steamer petrollte was shelled Sunday In the east era Mediterranean by a large submarine flying- the Austrian flag came to the Ma.vv department late today to a cable- mm from the cruiser Dea Moines at Canea. island of Crete. One man on the tanker was slightly Injured. This Information waa turned over to the State department where it waa thought no action would be taken pending the re- J oelpt o,f further details. No report had been received by the government tonight of the sinking of the Standard Oil steamer Communlpaw by a submarine off the coast of Tripoli, reported In press dis patches from Rome, and officials did not comment on the case In the absence of Information concerning the clroumsunoes. Tanker Trie f mease. It was pointed out that the attitude of the United States would depend entirely upon whether the tankers were attacked without warning or attempted to eecspe after being called upon to submit to visit and search. In the case of the Petrollte It appeared that it not only tried to es cape, but actually did SO. . When the dispatch came from the Dei Moines officials thought they had the explanation Of the . mysterious wireless message picked up at Athens saying aa AmerUau vessel was being attacked by a submarine south of the Island of Crete. It was recalled, however, that the mes sage reached Athena Saturday rooming, while the Petrollte did not encounter the submarine until Sunday. If the Conuuunipaw waa sunk near the roast of Tripoli it must have been some &u0 miles or more from the point where the call picked up at Athens was s4 to have originated.

Railroad officials here say that war munitions and other freight consigned for export to foreign governments are not subject to the em Largo on Iron and steel articles Imposed by the Lehigh Valley railroad and on all export freight by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The products of ammunition factories, the officials say, will go through New Tork as usual because It is not the war munitions that are causing the freight congestion here and at other Atlantic ports. ' It I explained that when a quantity of freight consigned to Great Britain or any i European government la brought here for ' export if no vessel happens to be avail- j able, the foreign government requisitions t some vessel flying its flag to carry the ' freight across the ocean. The railroad ! men say It is the freight consigned to private brokers who must use private means of transatlantic transportation that has caused the congestion. , A committee of shippers belonging to the Merchants' association win confer today with members of the trunk line sssociatlon In an effort to prevent the reduction by the railroads of free storage time from thirty to fifteen days. There la little danger of a scarcity of flour in New Tork City because of the ' embargo, according to railroad officials.
