Washington. May LIN an official
notice published by the German em-
bassy today, Americans were given ad-
sditional warning that travelling on
ships flying the flags Of the belligerent
nations was at their own risk. There
was much interest as 20 whether this
foreshadowed renewed activity of the
German submarines or had to do with
operations Of the German sea feet in
the North sea.
Count Won Bernstorn was away to-
day. but officials said that SO far as
they knew the notice did not indicate
extraordinary ship movements.
Passports Withheld.
Secretary Bryan said it would not be
proper for him to comment on the
German embassys advertisement. The
state department, however. has refused
to issue passports to Americans who
intend to visit Europe for pleasure or
recreation alone. but issues them to
Americans who say they are compelled
to make the voyage on business.
American Minister Van Dyke at The
Hague reported to the state department
today that the American steamer Cush-
ing, from Philadelphia to Amsterdam,
was damaged by bombs from German
aircraft in the North sea, but that no
lives were lost.
First Case Of Kind.
The report was brief transmitting a
message from the American consul at
Rotterdam, where the Gushing arrived
yesterday. It gave no indication of
the nature or extent Of the damage.
The officials here said the case was the
first Of the kind during the present
war and 30 far as they could recollect
there is no precedent In other wars.
Il was generally believed today that
representations would be made to Ger
many with request for payment OF
damages.
4 II MAS not thought in official quar-
ters that any serious issue would be
raised and the. bombs were not in
tentionally dropped.
The Gushing had $419,000 insurance
. on her hull and cargo Issued by the
national war insurance bureau. She
is Standard Oil vessel. and was
formerly under German registry.

PASSENGER LISTS INCREASE.
German Warning Apparently Has No
Effect on Business Of Liners.


Effect on Business Of Liners.
New York, May 1.-The largest num-
ber Of trans Atlantic passengers to
leave New York on single day this
seas has booked passage on six big
steamers leaving here today. The
Lusitania had about 1910 passengers
when she sailed. 900 being cabin pas
sengers.
Apparently the notice published in
New York papers today over the sigma
ture of the imperial German embassy
reminding passengers that vessels fly
ing the nag Of the allies were liable to
destruction had no effect on the travel
ing public. There were the usual num-
Der Of last minute cancellations. but no
more than usual. In the absence Of
authentic figures It was estimated that
more than 5000 persons had received
sailings today.
Anonymous Warnings Sent.
Many passengers received kilograms
at the pier, and signed by names un-
known to them, advising them not to
sail, as the liner was to be torpedoed
by submarines. Among those receiving
such kilograms was Alfred g. Wander
bilt. Charles G. Sumner. general agent
of the Cunard line, said the Lusitania;s
voyage was attended by no risk what
ever. as the line has speed of 25.5
knots and the liner Is supplied with
water tight bulkheads.

Cincinnati, May 1.-The national
baseball commission today refused the
application for reinstatement Of Benny
kauff, Brooklyn Federal League player,
who signed New York National
League contract on last Thursday.
The finding Of the commission fol-
lows:
Player b. Kauff applies to the ma
tional commission for reinstatement in
organized baseball. His request is re-
fused for the reason that in the past
he had not respected his contractural
obligations and is therefore not a
proper person to be identified with the
great national game
The decision waS arrived at after
telephonic communication had taken
place between Mr.. Hermann and Presi-
dents Tener, Of the National League,
and johnson. Of the American league.
The result will be that Kaun can not
|pfay with any club operating under the
netional agreement.
The application for reinstatement of
Kauff. the Brooklyn FedeTA League
player who signed g New FORK Ma
stiOnal League contract, was up before
Chairman August Hermann Of the ma
tionai commission to-day. Mr. Her
mann satd today:
