German Attache at

Lusitania Slaughter

NEW YORK. May s.-Captain Franz
Won Papen. military attache OF the i'm
perial German embassy. is quoted by the
New York World this morning a. making
the following statement regarding the
sinking OF the Lusitania:
1T Is deplorable. IL true. that 90 many
lives have been lost. ! am shocked to
hear the news, especially that American
lives. have been sacrificed. But II was
absolutely criminal for the Cunard COM
peny 20 carry and for the British govern
ment to allow the line 70 carry, neutral
passengers in a ship which was transport
ing explosives and munitions OF war to
be used by Great Britain and it's allies.
The ships manifest will show that Il
carried a large amount Of OF picric acid
and other explosives materials. They
certainly were not intended for peaceful
uses. They were 70 be used against
Germany and Germany had to defend
itself against them The best way was
20 destroy the ship and such destruction
was amply justified under the rules. OF

ENGLISH JOURNALS
EXTREMELY BITTER
Times Says Heavy Responsibility
Rests on Wilson's Ministry
Through Tragedy.
ALL MUST JOIN IN THE WAR

LONDON, May s.--Most Of the
morning newspapers print editorials,
today concerning the sinking of tho
Lusitania.
The Times says It is not for Great
Britain to speculate upon the course
to be adopted by the United States
government, now that they are con-
fronted with a situation which con-
Germs that country as closely as It
does Great Britain.
THE members of Mr.. Wilson's minis
try" says the Times, ARE the guardians
OF their national honor and the lives OF
their own people. Upon them rests a
heavy responsibility which we shall not
seek to accentuate. but the destruction
Of the Lusitania must sssuredly hasten
the day when every civilized power will
feel constrained to Join US
The Times adds that II no life had been
lost the character of the sinking of the
Lusitsnia and the intentions which
prompted II would have remained un-
altered. The ship received no special
naval protection because Of the principles
that apparently have been laid down
| that when so many large passenger
steamers constantly approaching or leav-
] ing the coast of Great Britain ne single
steamer can be singled out for exceptional
! protection unless national interest make
such step imperative.
This. however" the Times concludes,
'is a subject upon which further enlight-
eminent must be awaited For the mo-
ment attention is concentrated with
horror upon the appalling nature Of the
deed thus wrought after due advertise
ment''
The Graphic says that the exact details
of the Lusltania incident in one sense are
unirnportant, but the broad fact is that
ship containing 1000 noncombatants and
neutraIs was sent to its destruction with
every prospect Of an appalling loss of
life. II adds: -
'The real significance of this news is
that such deliberate affront to neu-
trails is the weapon of a nation that
knows itself defeated"
The Daily Telegraph declares that the
sinking Of the floating hotel" affects
mot only ourselves. but the English
thinking people on the other side of the
Atlantic"
