Another Flagrant Breach of In-

(Special to The Dally News.)

London, March 23.—The Gal-
liper lightship which stood guard
over the treacherous Goodwin
Sands, off the mouth of the
Thamesy has been torpedoed and
sunk with all There is
great indignation over this gross
breach of international law.

The fact that the lightship had
been sunk was discovered by the
Dutch Amsterdam which
narrowly escaped going on the
Goodwins.

Norwegian Barque Sunk,

The Norwegian barque Linde-
nield, bound from Portland, Ore-
gon, to Queenstown, has been
sunk, thirty of the crew being
saved.

Tubantia Incident.

The theory is advanced that the
Dutch steamers Tubantia and
Palemburg were sunk by torpe-
does released from a German de-
stroyer. It is significant that
Germany's denial relates only to
sinking by mines or submarines.
