London, March 27.

The Atlantic Transport Company's str. Minneapolis (13,543 tons) has been sunk. All on board were rescued except 11 person who were killed.—Reuter.

Washington, March 27.

The sinking of the steamers Sussex and Englishman has again raised the question of breaking off relations with Germany if it is definitely confirmed that they were torpedoed, but it is probable that President Wilson will first consult Congress as a rupture will probably mean war. Officials regard the situation as being very grave—Renter.

London, March 27.

The American Embassy announces that all the Americans on the Sussex were saved, two being dangerously wounded and another seriously.

Among the persons missing through the torpedoing of the cross-channel str, Sussex, are the leading American psychologist Professor Baldwin, Hon. D. So, Oxford University and University of Geneva, and his wife.
