 The imperial govornment has subjected the communication of inc A1nertcan government to "a thorough investigation. It enter1 tains also a keen wish to CO., operate in a frank and friendly day In clearing up a possible mis- understanding which may have arisen in the relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the -Amefi- can goWernment-

HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH
 HAS SUDDEN DEATH; N BUT TWO HOURS
Louis John Adams, Son of Ernest Adams, Stricken
 Suddenly At Night.

Death laid a sudden hand upon the household of Ernst Adams, proprietor of the Adams house in Fairfield ave- nl4e when it took away early yester- day fnorning, Louis John Adams. the only living son of the family. The young man had enjoyed good health all his life and seemed well as ever up to several hours before his death On Sunday afternoon he drove an Rutomob11e with his parents and sis ter Ju1ias. to visit his sister and his brother-fn-Iaw, MT. and Mrs Robert R. Apsen of GreenxR1 @3Bj Returnfng g to Bridgeport, in the evening he again drove the family out to a party. On his return home that, evening about Il O clock, he complained of a severe headache and went to bed. Later in the night his mother heard him moan ing in his room and when she went to him she found him in a seni-con- scfous condition.
 Dr. Herman Duesing and Dr. J. F. Shea were summoned and although they exerted their skill in an effort to save his life the young man Iapsed in to an unconscious condition and death occurred about o'clock Mon day morning. It is the opinion of the physicians that blood c1ot which had formed in the heart was disIodged by some unusual physical exertfon of the deceased and that the clot passing Into the arteries finally reached the brain causing death.
 Louis John Ada ms was 1 g years and live months old and was born in Bridgeport He was an exceptionally bright young man of pleasing per sonaIfty and popular with all who Knew him. He was completing his Junior year at the Bridgeport High school. He was a talented musician and a member of the B.

navy as 'undefended.' German commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the cus- tomary regulations of the prize law. which they before always followed.
 Finally. the imperial govern rnent must point out particularly that the Lusitania on it's last trtps as on earlier occasions, carried Canadian troops and war mater 1a1, including no less than 400 cases of ammunition intended for the destruction of the brave Ger man soldiers who are fulfilling their duty with self-sacrifce and devotion in the Fatherland's ser vice.
 The German government be- 1feves that it was acting in justf- fled se1f-defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at it's disposition to protect the lives of it's soldiers by destroying ammu- milton intended for the enemy.
 The British shipping company rnnst have been aware. of the, dan ger to which the. passengers aboard the Lusitania were expos- ed under these conditions. The company in embarking them, not Withstanding this, attempted de- liberately to use the lives of American citizens as protection for the ammunition aboard and acted against the clear provisions of the American law, which .ex- pressly prohibits the. farwarding of passengers on ships carrying ammunition and provides 9 penal ty therefor. The company, there fore, is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers.
 There can be no doubt, accord ing to the definite report of the submarine's commander, whichl5is further confirmed by all other i'm formation, that the sinking of the Lusitania is primarily attributable to the explosion of the ammuni- ton shipment caused by a torpe- do. The Lusitania's passengers would otherwise in 4 all human probability have been saved. -.s,
 The imperial government com sfders the above mentioned facts important 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 connec- ton with the sinking of the Lusi- tania until receipt of answer from the American government feels inpelIed in conclusion to recall here and now that 1t took cogni- zance with satisfaction of. the me-. diatory proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London as a basis for a modus vfvendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. The imperial government, by it's read mess to enter upon a discussion of these proposals, then demonstrat- ed it's good intentions in ample fashion. The realization of these proposals was defeated, as is we'll known, by the declinatory atti- tude of the British government.
 The undersigned takes occasion, etcetera JAGOW.
