MINE THEORY DISCOUNTED
STATEMENT IN LORDS (Reed. Sept. 6, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 5. Lord Stanhope told tl e House of Lords that. no doubt a submarine sank the Atbenia, although there was no official confirmation, and fired a shell after torpedoing her. Reliable '.fitnesses declare there was no warning signal, and the submarine broke the surface after firing a torpedo. “That area of th e ocean is so deep that a mine could not be moored there." continued Lord Stanhope. “It. would be. moreover, .an absurd place for a mine there, because we arc anxious to keep our tr-de going in. and out. without interference.”
