A. P. A. Servics.
WASHINGTON, .Ily 2—The latest
dispatches from Avonmouth, Kngland,
lead the officials of the state depart
ment to believe that the sinking of the
vessel was in accordance with the rec -
ognized rules of warfare and in con
formity with international law The
investigation discloses that the officers
of the Armenian failed to heed the co -
der of tice commander of the subma
rine and made e fforts to escape when
ordered to stop with the result that
the vessel was tired on without further
order and the large loss of life is at
tributed to the attempt to evade the
submarine. Secretary Lansing stated
last night that the report placed the
matter in an entirely different light ind
the I'nited State* had apparently lit
tle reason to take up the subject with
Germans except to verify through Mer
lin the details of the resistance of the
Armenian to the German order to stop

by leaving the way open for Governor
Ferguson to tur» Huerta over to the
Mexican authorities through the Villa

villages along the way after driving
the inhabitants away. The government
