Tr.i reduction la made possible by tb

char.se caused by a cessation of exports
from t)e central Eurupean countries to
ti.e United tittle.
rem la, being far from home, had not
been instructed In, the new policy of the
Anntrlsn government.
The destruction of the Persia coupled
with the sinking of the Japanese liner
Tasaka Maru and the French liner Ville
Do 1 4i Clotat, lends strength In official
quarters to both these possibilities.
All th agencies of the American gov
ernment have been set In motion t6
gather facts on the newest disaster.
The general Impression In diplomatic
quarters wss thst the position of the
United States waa sufficiently well known
to Austria and the Ancona negotiatlma
have been under way a sufficient length
of time to permit Instructions to reach
the submarine fleet. On every hand the
news was received with astonishment.
Consul General Skinner at London for
warded what Information waa available
at the British admiralty and his dis
patch, with unofficial reporta of the dls-
sster, waa forwarded to President Wilson
at Hot Springs.
Prospect of Break Renewed;
Feveranc of diplomatic relations with
all Ita possibilities looms up aa on of
th eventualities, th same as It did In
tha case of th Lualtania, tha Arabic and
th Ancona.
Although th nationality of th subma
rine which sunk tha Persia remains un
established definitely, as waa tha case
with th Tasaka Maru and th VIII De
La Clotat, th assumption generally is
that It was an Austrian boat, because
Count von Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, recently declared that no Ger
man or Turkish submersible were oper
ating In tha Mediterranean.
Th attack on the Perwa aa it was ap
proaching Alexandria renews attention
to th fact that a submarine campaign
against allied shipping Is being carried
on off the entrance to the Rues canal.
Arthur Garrels, American consul at
Alexandria, Egypt, waa Instructed by th
Stat department to gather all available
Information about th sinking of th
Persia and forward It at one to Wash
ington. 1
