Sussex Case Sparks US Action Over Sussex Attack
The administration expects to decide within 48 hours the next step in the Sussex crisis as evidence from survivors is compiled. Secretary Lansing reports no official confirmation of Germany’s denial and will review affidavits from London and Paris embassies with the president and cabinet. Evidence grows on other incidents, notably the Manchester Engineer and Elgie Point, suggesting submarine involvement and questions of immunity when ships capitulate. President Wilson continues work on the submarine question despite illness from a snowstorm aboard the Mayflower.
