LINER PHILADELPHIA TORPEDOED;
41 MISSING; AMERICAN RESCUED
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. 8—Carrying out the
order for “unrestricted warfare," a German submarine
torpedoed the British passenger liner California last
night and 41 of the passengers and crew were lost.
John A. Lee of Montgomery, Alabama, the only Ameri
can passenger aboard was rescued.
U. S. Consul Frost at Queenstown cabled the state de
partment today that the California was sent to the bot
tom without warning and that the survivors only escaped
by being able to get a few of the life boats out during the
moments that lapsed between the explosion and the going
down of the liner.
Later Frost wired that 41 of those on board were still
missing and are considered lost as patrol boats visited the
scene and made careful search for survivors.

KIO DE JANEIRO, Thursday, Eeb.
8. — The American steamship Evelyn
was lired upon by the Brazilian bat
tleship Minesgeraes, on account of a
misunderstanding in signals, accord
i ing to reports received here today.
lhe Evelyn was not damaged but
returned to port to clear up the mis
1 understanding.
From the details at hand it is re

the anxiety felt by all over the activi
ties of commerce destroyers and the
determination of the Brazilian com
mander to enforce neutrality, and pre
vent any raider from operating under
disguise. The signal to stop was
misread and without waiting to re
peat it the warship opened lire on the
Evelyn which was continuing at top
speed at a considerable distance.
