Sadder still was his reference to the year of war in Europe which he be¬ lieved could not continue much longer.

London. .luly 31. The Leyland liner Iberian, flying the British flag and bound from I..iverpool for Boston with a cago of general merchandise, has been sunk In the war zone by a Ger¬ man submarine. Five members of her crew were killed hy shell flre as she attempted to escape after being hailed by the submarine. Two others, one an American. Mark Wiley, of Boston, died in a small boat from superflcial wounds and shock. The rest, 61 in all, were landed at Queenstown.
According to offiolal advices the, Iberian was fired upon only after she I tried to run away from fhe undersea boat. The men aboard were given ample time to take fo fhe boats. Then the submarine flred a torpedo and the liner sank almost immediately. She waa a vessel of 6233 tons and had been employed to carry horses and mules from   American   ports  to  England.
The flrst news of the sinking of the Iberian waa received here in a Lloyds dispatch, which stated that the sur¬ vivors were being brought into Queens¬ town by a trawler which had picked ihem up after fhe submarine disap¬ peared. I.iater they landed at the Irish port and consul Frost took charge of the surviving Americans who number¬ ed 2«. Statements by the men and by the ship surgeon, l^r. Burna, were to the effect that the commander of*the submarine had ordered tbe Iberian to halt and had opened flre from deck guns only after the liner's skipper had ordered full speed ahead and had be¬ gun a xig-zag course in an effort to shake his ship loose from the trailing submersible.

"Do you believe intervention by the United States would be acceptable to the Mexicans?"
Shells burst oTer the ship and killed many of the crew who had ruahed to the rail when the submarine appeared. Seeing that flight was hopeless the Captain flnally ordered the vessel to be halted, and the commander of the sub¬ marine then ordered the crew to take to the boats.
Wiley, the American who was serv¬ ing in the capacity of a muleteer, had received a flesh wound during the flring and this added to the excitement, caus¬ ed hia death.
