WE CAN MAKE NO
FORMAL PROTEST
But Wilson Administration Thinks 1t
Proper to Send to Great Britain
Note Pointing Out Dangers to Neu-

By Associated Press.

Washington, Feb >9.-The admins
tration view of the hoistins of the
American flag on the British steamer
Lusitania, as stated to-day on the high
est authority, is that the use of other
flags by ships of nations at war is such
customary practice that no formal
protest can be made. but that it will
be proper TO send to Great Britain q
note pointing out the dangers to neu-
tral shipping which may follow II
>sueh practice is continued.
Regarding the establishment of a
war zone by Germany around the Brit
ish Isles, President Wilson said to-day
he was awaiting the German govern
ment's memorandum being forwarded
bv Ambassador Gerard before reaching
decision on what attitude to take.
He said 6ermany's first proclamation
on the subject contained many ques-
tions ON which the United States would
like further explanation.
Simply Warning From Germany
The President takes the view that
the war zone proclamation by Germany
does not constitute blockade. or even
paper blockade. He stated that il
was simply warning. The President
himself said that action Oy Congress
could not control the use of the Ameri-
can flag hy foreign ships and that re-
strietions on such practices would have
10 come through international agree
ment.
The administration. ii was indicated,
is deeply studying the war zone ques-
tion with the view of determining its
possible effect on American shipping
end will seek to get full information
from Germany on exactly what was in
tended and what measures viii be taken
TO insure American vessels from attack.
Mr.. Wilson mentioned Ambassador
Bornstoff 5 explanation of the war zone
order but repeated that the United
States would not finally determine on
its course until the official explanation
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was
received.
To Protect American Rights
High officials apparently attached
much Importance to both the Lusitania
and war zone situations and it was
made clear to-day that every effort will
be made TO protect the American rights.
President Wilson told callers that up to
the present no other neutral govern
ments have officially asked the CO.
operation of the United States.
Discussing the general international
situation, President Wilson said to-day
that he-was not surprised at the length

PAGE ON GERMAN REPRISALS
Discusses With British Secretary
Treatment Reported to Be Ac-
corded British Officers.

London, April 16.-Walter H. Page,
the American ambassador, called upon
Foreign Secretary Grey at the foreign
office and discussed the reprisals the
Germans are reported to be making
because of the special treatment be-
ing accorded by Great Britain to the
officers and men captured on board
German submarines.
No official advices have been re-
ceived in London as yet, concerning
the actual steps Germany is taking to
punish the thirty-nine British officers
who are reported to have been COM
mitted to special detention because of
the steps taken by Great Britain
against the German prisoners.
Ambassador Page received a mes
sage from Washington saying that
James w. Gerard, the American am
bassador at Berlin. had only news
paper reports of reprisals said to have
been put into effect by Germany, but
that replies were expected immediate
1y to Inquiries asking for special in

There has been trench fighting, COM

itary buildings at Ostend by fifteen

GEORGIA CITY CELEBRATING
Scenes From Last Battle of Civil War
Chief Feature of Columbus
Home Coming.

Columbus, Ca, April 15.-The cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the last battle of the Civil war will
be a feature of the Columbus Home

vet Maj. Gen. Emory Upton, at the
head of six companies of the Third
Iowa cavalry, led the assault on Col
umbus, which was held by Gen. James

Mississippi.
About 5000 soldiers were engaged.
Col Charles A. l.. Lamar, who died
here, was the last Confederate officer
killed in the war. Columbus was cap
tured by the Union forces.

ish House of Commons.

London, April 16.-Germany has
the Carpathian mountains, particularly
in the region of UsZok pass, the key
to Hungary, by means of which the
Russians hoped to open the door to the
south and as consequence the Rus
sian advance, which a few days ago
seemed to be making marked progress,
has been checked.
To the northwest of Uszok, accord
ing to the Austrian war Office, the en-
tire position occupied by the Russians
has been captured The Russian war
Office, however, still lays claim to con-
tinued, though slight progress and de-
clares that all counter attacks have
been repulsed and that thousand new
prisoners have been added to those
already taken.
In the western war zone there is
little of interest in the land campaign.
The house of commons sat only
35 minutes and the expected statement
of the ministers on the questions of
liquor prohibition, the acceleration of
the output of munitions and the gen.
eral progress of the war were post
poned until future sessions.
The statement of the under secre-
tary of war, H. ]. Tenant, that there
was no present intention to prohibit
the sale in the army cantems of beer,
the only alcoholic liquor now sold at
these establishments. indicated, how
ever, that the restriction to be pro-
posed by the government will not be
so drastic as some have been led to
expect.

NATIONAL DEFENSE AS ISSUE
MAY BE SLOGAN OF G. o. p. IN
NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Colonel Roosevelt Said to Be Much
Concerned Over Preparedness
of United States.

Washington, April 16.-Theodope
Roosevelt is demonstrating his capa-
city as a politician of the first order.
After a period Of comparative iso-
lation which has existed since the
discovery of the River of Doubt"
the colonel has been in the back
ground. The part of the shrinking
violet in the national show is not a
natural one for the colonel. and this
1t is also beginning to be recognized
that the colonel has been willing to
take on even this part of it may result
in his gradual development into the
part of the leading man.
That the colonel is willing to do a
"big thing" given certain conditions,
is also being recognized, and that he
is planning to do that big thing" as
he sees it, is being daily more and
more apparent.
National Defense Policy.
Unless the Republican party should
close the door in his face, Colonel
Roosevelt will be back in the fold
when the Republican convention meets
to nominate candidate for 1916. That
he will not be captious about the can
didate is also apparent. That he will
bar former President Taft and former
Governor Hadley of Missouri is part
of the gossip that emanates from Oys-
ter Bay. But further than that, the
colon els friends do not go.
The one thing that is now in the
colonel's mind according to those who
profess to know what is going on at
Oyster Bay, is that the nation should
be committed to a policy of national
defense. He is willing to forget other
things in order that he may bring
about a realization on the part of the |
people of the United States, that in |
the midst of an armed world, the |
American people are invitingly and |
,atuously unprepared. He has 10 SYM
Dathy with local politicians who in |
sist that the republic has no need of |
making preparations for international |
complications. Men like former Con-
sressman Tawney of Minnesota, or
ike Secretary of State Bryan, who in
list that we have either made suffi-
,ient preparation or too much, meet
With his absolute condemnation.

ZEPPELIN SHELLS
TOWNS IN BRITAIN
REACHES BLYTH FROM ACROSS
THE NORTH sEA-DRoPs
TWENTY BOMBS.
NO LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED
Airship Sails at Altitude of 2,00e Feet
Electric Lights Extinguished and
Other Precautions Taken to
Ward Off Attack

| New Castle, April ia Zeppelin
raid just been made in the Tyne dis
trict of Northumberland county. 1t
appears that the Zeppelin reached
| Blyth from across the North Sea,
| passed over Blyth and Cramlington and
| proceeded to the neighborhood of Sea-
tonburn.
Bombs were dropped on several Of
the villages passed by the airship, five
at Choppington, three at Wallsend,
two at Seatonburn and one at Bed
lington. The airship passed near
North Shields and New Castle. While
neither city was visited both took pre-
cautions against attack by extinguish-
ing the electric lights.
No Lives Lost.
Full inquiry shows that no loss of
life or serious personal injury resulted
from the Zeppelin raid and that al
though several small houses were
damaged the material loss was not
very heavy.
1t was an ideal night. There were
no clouds and no wind, but the night
was dark. The airship sailed at an
altitude estimated at 1000 feet and
was first supposed at Blyth to be
British machine, as it lowered over
that town for a few minutes. When it
was ascertained, however, that it was
a German dirigible the news was tele-
graphed to all neighboring towns,
where electric lights were extinguished
and the other customary precautions
taken to ward off an attack. There
appears to have been no panic any
where.
Follows Railroad Track.
In addition to Choppington, Walls
end, Seatonburn and Bedlington,
bombs were dropped on other villages.
The Zeppelin followed the track of
the railroad. When last seen it passed
seward at the mouth of the Tyne.
By II o'clock the district over which
the Zeppelin flew had resumed it's
normal aspect.
The failure of the air raid to cause
any serious damage is attributed to
the prompt measures taken to plunge
all the towns in the district into dark
ness when the alarm was given.
Twenty Bombs Dropped.
The general belief is that it was the |
intention of the air craft crew to drop |
bombs on the Tyne shipbuilding yard, !
but only one missile fell even near the |
yard. This did no damage. 1t is esti-
mated that 20 bombs, majority of |
them of incendiary variety, were
dropped, but all the fires started by |
them were quickly quenched. The
fact that the town of Newcastle was
missed by the raider IN
was due to the fact that all
lights were put out when the Zeppelin
vas reported.

ZEPPELIN TO DIRECT ATTACK
Arrives at Cuxhaven to Plan Expected
Aerial Raid in Force on British
Capital, Say Amsterdam Dis
patches-Dirigible Active.

/ London, April 17.-Count Zeppelin
has arrived at Cuxhaven for the pur-
pose of directing the expected aerial
raid in force on London, according to
Amsterdam dispatches. Several Yep
peIins have been transported to the
German flying base at Emden and
Cuxhaven and the enemys airmen are
displaying activity. Dispatches from
several small islands off the coast of
Holland report that three ZeppeIins
flew over the islands late in the eve
ming headed for England.
London, April 17.-For the third
time within SO hours German skycraft
have crossed the North sea and bonn
barded English towns. Within 80
miles of London, two of the enemy's
taubes in midday raid launched ex-
plosive missiles upon Sittlngbourne,
in Kent county, after first bomabrding
Faversham.
One, of the biplane type, flew also
over Sheerness. There the antiair-
craft guns fired on it and the machine
was seen suddenly to dip. The spec
tators thought it had been winged and
cheered wildly.
Fly Over Canterbury.
The aeroplane, however, recovered,
and again it assembled. Then it trav-
eled at high rate of speed across the
Isle of Sheppey at the mouth of the
Thames and escaped to the open sea.
British aeroplanes are said to have
gone in pursuit of the machine which
appeared over Sittingbourne but no re-
port from them has yet been given
out.
The airmen few over Canterbury at
1890 p. m, passing almost directly
over the famous cathedral, according
to a dispatch received here. They
sped in the direction of Dover Forty
five minutes later they returned and
left Canterbury in a northeasterly di-
rection.
London Prepares for Raid.
Convinced that London is to be the
next object of attack, the municipal
after conference with
the admiralty officials, issued a call
for volunteers to patrol at night the
roads leading into the capital. The
appeal was particularly directed to
motor clubs which were requested to
urge their members to form volunteer
patrols to watch for Yep
Delins and aeroplanes.
