U. S. Cannot Accept Suggestion.

The government of the United
friendly spirit in which it is made,
cannot accept the suggestion Of the
imperial German government that
certain vessels be designated and
agreed upon which shall be free on
the seas now illegally prescribed.
The very agreement would, Dy 1mpli-
cation, subject other vessels to il
legal attack and would be curtail-
ment, and therefore an abandonment,
Of the principles for which this gov
ernment contends. and which in calm
er counsels every nation would con-
cede as of course.
Contends for Freedom at Any Cost
The government of the United
States and the imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object; have long stood to-
gether in urging the very principles
upon which the government of the
United States now so solemnly in
sists. They are both contending for
the freedom of the seas. The govern
ment Of the United States will con-
tinue to contend for that freedom,
from whatever quarter violated, with
out compromise and at any cost. 1t
invites the practical cooperation Of
the imperial German government at
this time when cooperation may ac-
complish most and this great common
object be most strikingly and effec-
lively achieved.
Object Can Be Attained.
The imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplish
ed even before the present war ends.
1t can be. The government of the
United States not only feels obliged
to insist upon it, by whomsoever vio-
lated or ignored, in the protection OF
it's own citizens, but Is also deeply
Interested in seeing it made practic.
able between the belligerents them
selves and holds itself ready at any
time to act as the common friend
who may be privileged to suggest a
way.
AS deliberately Unfriendly" Act.
In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship be-
tween the people and government Of
the United States and the people and
government OF the German nation
impels it to press very solemnly upon
the imperial German government the
necessity for a scrupulous observ'
ance Of neutral rights In this critical
matter.
Friendship itself prompts it to say
to the imperial German government
that repetition by the commanders ot
German naval vessels Of acts in con
| travention of those rights must be
regarded by the government of the
United States. when they affect
| American citizens, as deliberately un
| friendly.

Chicago, July 27.-One thousand per-
sons were drowned or crushed TO
death when the steamer Eastland,
crowded with 2,40S employees OF the
Western Electric company, capsized in
the Chicago river.
The crowding of passengers to one
side of the boat is supposed to nave
caused the tragedy, but the authori-
ties. not satisfied with this explana-
tion, ordered the arrest of the officers
of the boat, and Captain Harry Ped
ersen and Dell Fisher. first mate.
were taken to police headquarters.
Death Ship Gives Up Bodies
Chicago, July 27.-The death ship
Eastland has given up the bodies
of 500 of it's dead. The estl-
mated total number OF those who
were drowned in the Chicago river
when the steel steamer bearing 240S
eXcursionists rolled over at her dock,
remains at approximately 1000. or the
total of 240S persons on board at the
time of the catastrophe, 1912 including
the crew of 72, have been reported safe.
OF the 55S thus remaining unaccounted
for it is believed 400 are still alive
and have failed to report and that 1879
bodies still are in the river.
Evidence of Desperation.
Panic of the worst kind struck the
passengers when the boat began to
turn over Best accounts or wit
nesses said the steamer rolled slight
" twice, then turned further and
that hundreds of screaming, strug-
Cling men, women and children slid
across the sloping decks, fought for
room on the companionways and
clutched at deck chairs or any other
object that came to hand.
Women and children by the hun
dreds were caught below decks and
the scratched faces, torn clothing and
bruised bodies of the dead bore mute
evidence of the desperation with
which they had fought for chance
for life.
The whole tragedy occupied less
than five minutes Members OF the
crew shouted warnings as the steam
er first tilted and Captain Pedersen
ordered lower deck ports opened and
all passengers shore. There was,
however, no chance OF such meas
ure to succeed.
Five Steamers Chartered.
Som, 1000 tickets had been dis
tributed for the excursion and f1ve
steamers chartered by the company.
The Eastland was first to. receive It's
quota, and when its chartered capac-
ity was reached federal inspectors or
dered that no more be taken aboard.
The boat was docked on the south
side of the river and when the hum
dreds hurrying to the boat were
turned back from 1t they streamed
across the Clark street bridge to the
steamer Theodore Roosevelt, which
was to take the second boat load.
Screams of the Eastland victims
halted this rush and the bridge was
jammed with people until police, fear
ing that the structure would collapse,
ordered it cleared.
City Turns to Rescue Work.
Every resource of the city was
turned to the rescue work. Remem-
bering the Iroquois theatre disaster
