WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Complete
information now on hand contains no
evidetice that American deatroyera were
requested to moyg on so that the Ger-
man submarine U-53 could destroy a
ship without accident in its recent op-
erations off the New England coast,
it was announced officially here today.
The attention given that report in the
British Parliament caused surprise here,
as officials attach little importance
to it one way or the other. It is point-
ed out that the destroyers were on hand
purely far humanitarian reason* and
that so long as international law was
being observed it was but an act of
courtesy for the German commander to
give notice that he intended to sink
a vessel.
