From II source intimately connected
with the secret service some facts are

The story. In brief. is this That

What they were doing is almost pure
conjecture one theory IL that in som.
way by flashing of lights through port
holes they might have attempted IL

rine that happened 10 be in range,
Another theory. still more startling
IL that they were on board to do some
such work as IL suspected of having
been tie cause OF the fire on the Tou-
-a.ne, for which Raymond Swoboda was
arrested at Havre Some maintain that
an interior explosion followed the i'm
act OF the torpedo, But several wit

periscope of the German submarine and
the wake of the death dealing missile on
It's way to the flying Cunarder,
The death Of the prisoners and the
disappearance OF the woman end hope

il is known that investigation Of these

GERMANY SHOULD BE

SYRACUSE. May Col. Theodore
Roosevelt gave out tonight the fol-

the Lusitania:
ION the night OF the day that the
disaster occurred 7 called the atten-
ton Of our people to the fact that
tho sinking OF the Lusitanla was not
only an act OF simple piracy but
that II represented piracy accom-
panied by murder On a vaster scale
than any old time pirate had ever
practised before being hung for his
misdeeds.
81 called attention 10 the fact that
this was merely the application on
the high seas. and al our expense. of
the principles which when applied
on land had produced the innumer-
able hideous tragedies tina. have oc-
CURED IN Belgium and IN northern
France.

humanity at large but our duty TO
preserve our own nat ional self Prospect
demanded instant action on our par,
and forbade all delay.

GET OUTDOOR RANGE.
Topeka RifIemen VIII Become Affili-
ated With National Organization.

An outdoor rifle range for Topeka is
now assured. H. B. Howard, secre-
i tary of the Topeka riflemen, an
nounced this morning that sufficient
ground for full 1000 yard range had
been secured and that a lease on this
ground for five years would be drawn
up at once.
This ground is located west of town,
about one mile from the car line, and
the range will be laid out so that the
shooting will be into Martins hill.
Mr.. Howard also stated the state
will cooperate in maintaining the
range, and the United States govern
ment will furnish the kind of targets
that are used by the best clubs and
on the best ranges in the country.
The next meeting of the club mem
bers will be held tonight at which the
National Rifle association constitution
and bylaws will be presented and
adopted, and affiliation will be made
at once with the national association.
Prospects are also said to be bright
for landing the state shoot here this
summer.
Secretary Howard says that a num-
Der of prominent Topekans who have
not heretofore taken an active interest
in rifle shooting have expressed a de-
sire to become members of the new
club, and all who are interested are
cordially invited to attend tonight's
meeting which will be held at the
Howard Sporting Goods store at ZIG
Kansas avenue.
