/ 1.-THE German government be-
lieves that it was acting in justified
self-defense in seeking with all the
means Of warfare at it's dispositions
to protect the lives of its soldiers by
destroying ammunition intended for
the enemy.
THE British shipping company
must have been aware of the dan
ger to which the passengers aboard
the Lusitania We're exposed under
these conditions. The company in
embarking them, Notwithstanding
they attempted deliberately to use
the lives of American citizens as pro-
lection of the ammunition aboard
and acted against the clear provis-
ions Of the American law, which ex-
pressly prohibits the forwarding Of
passengers on ships carrying ammu-
milton, and provides penalty there
{ for. The company, therefore, is
wantonly guilty of the death of 50
many passengers.
There can be no doubt, accord
ing to the definite report of the sub
marines commander which is fur
Their confirmed by all other informa-
ton that the quick sinking of the
Lusitania is primarily attributed to
the explosion of the ammunition
shipment caused by torpedo. The
Lusitania's passengers would other
wise, in all human probability, have
been saved.
Considers Them Important.
THE imperial government con-
siders the above mentioned facts inn
portant enough to recommend them
to the attentive examination of the
American government.
The imperial government while
Withholding it's final decision on the
demands advanced in connection
with the sinking of the Lusitania
until receipt of an answer from the
American government, feels >impel-
led in conclusion, to recall here and
now, that it took cognizance with I,
satisfaction of the mediatory pro-
posals submitted by the United
States government to Berlin and
London as q basis for modus
vivendi for conducting the maritime
warfare between Germany and Great
Britain. The imperial government,
by its readiness to enter upon a dis
cussion of these proposals, then
demonstrated it's good intentions in
ample fashion The realization of
these proposals was defeated, as is
we'll known, by the declinatory at
titude Of the British government.
The undersigned takes occasion,

A BULL MOOSER "THANKS GOD
FOR WILSON,

The writer, not entirely without
misgivings, voted for Roosevelt at
the last presidential election. Now
he feels like giving thanks every day
that there is man at the head Of
affairs at Washington possessed of a
loftier character, a keener vision
and better poised brain than that

states, than from a reading Of all
the supposedly powerful newspapers

TAFT CONTRASTED WITH

President Taft, in striking con-
trast to his predecessor, Colonel
Roosevelt, is standing shoulder to
shoulder with President Wilson at
this critical time in the nations his

second term as president, Mr.. Taft
has conducted himself in a manner
which has won for him the admira-

"Still, there have been other wet
and cold spring seasons and the

The Lusitania, too, according to in
formation received here, had cannon
aboard which were mounted and
concealed below decks.
''The imperial government fur
ther has the honor to direct the par
ticular attention of the American
government to the fact that the
British admiralty, in confidential
instruction issued in February, 1915,
recommending its mercantile ship
ping not only to seek protection un-
der neutral flags and distinguishing
marks, but also, while thus disguis-
ed, to attack German submarines
by ramming. AS special incitation
to merchantmen to destroy submar-
ines, the British government also Of
fered high prizes and has already
paid such rewards.
Not Regarded 'Undefended.'
The imperial government, in
view Of these facts indubitably
known to it, is unable to regard
British merchantmen in the zone of
naval operations specified by the adj
miralty staff of the German army as
'undefended.' German commanders
consequently are no longer able to
observe the customary regulations of
the prize law which they before al
ways followed. ~
Finally, the imperial government
must point out particularly. that the
Lusitania on its last trip, as on ear

A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
How can I help my husband save a
few dOllars2 He makes a small wage
and we trg to save little every week,
but some weeks, such as rent week, we
cannot save anything I have two little
girls Of two and four years. so cannot
go out to work; but do you know OF
anything could do in the evening"
Wife.
In Boston, a. woman who is tied TO u
wheel chair, in what looks like hope
less iuvalidism. has managed to make q
great success Of putting up marmalade
and preserves, which one of the large
grocery stores handles for her. If you
are clever at preserving of any sort.
why NOS take jar or two to some OF
the larger wholesale grocers and see If
they will market it for you2 At the
WOman's exchange you might find il
possible to place bits OF needle work
or cookery, but unless these are sold
you will get no pay.

VIII you kindly oblige me by advis-
ing if it is proper for an engaged girl
to initial linen, etc, with the first let
ter Of her name or that OF her pros
pective husband? A dispute has arisen
in my family as to which is proper; the
family stating my initial, while my
self much prefer his. II it be custO-
mary for the girls initial to be en-
brOidered, please explain why.
NJ B. NJ
Mark your linen either NJ. B. N. or
merely NJ 1t is customary for the bride
to 50 initial her rousseau. wedding
gifts. a s well, are generally marked in
this fashion. Probably the main rea-
son for this is that wedding gifts and
bridal possessions may be singled out
from those of later years. There is
also the unpleasant, If practical con-
sideration. that in case of a separation
the brides possessions marked as hers,
revert to her.
