LUsIT4NIA's CARGO
Alleged That Inflated cunard Steam
er Carried Foart Guns

New York, Jure IA Washington
dispatch to the New York American
says:
The State Department has received
four afidavits stating that when the
Lusitania sailed on her last 7oyage
She was armed vita four guns OF
isgood size"-two mounted forward
and two mounted at. According tc
the affidavits, they were mounted o.
an upper desk.
Three afidavits are from person:
who say they were told by a pas
senger just before the Lusitania sail
ed that he had seen the guns. Inc
passenger, an American, was saved.
The fourth affidavit is from mar
who says he saw The guns.
1t was learned from a State DE
partment official that seven Other
affldavits questioning the Lusitania''
manifest have been received.
In the manifest appeared tins item
"Furs, 349 packages, valued at SllS
220, consigned to Liverpool.
! 1t was said today that an ailldaVl'
would be submitted by a person con
nected with the firm making the ship
ment that the packages contained
gun cotton. Evidence is expected, al
so, that the Lustania's cargo con
tanned acids used in the manufac
ture of explosives.
The State Department does not eX
pect a charge that the Cunard Steam
ship Company made a false manl1es.
II is taken for granted that IN
steamship company was not reSpoh
sible, as it proceeds on the sworl
statement of the shippers that tn
packages contained the mcrchandls
described by them.

voN JAGow's VIEWS
Germany" He Says, is Fighting
For The Freedom of The Seas

Berlin, June 2-"America ought to
be reasonable enough to grant Ger
many time and the right to discuss
the facts of the Lusitania attack.
Herr Gottlieb Won Jagow, German
foreign secretary, who drafted the
German reply to the American note,
50 declared in an interview. He eE-
pressed the hope that further dis
cussion of the Lusitania incident
would bring the United States and
Germany to complete understand
ing as to the facts in dispute and
that an agreement would be reach
ed.
"America can hardly expect US to
give I'D any means at our disposal TO
fight our enemy" said Herr Won
Jagow. 1T is a principle with US to
defend ourselves in every possible
way. am sure that Americans will
he reasonable enough to believe that
our two countries cannot discuss the
Lusitania matter until both have the
same, basis of facts.
Germany is fighting for the free
dom of the seas 1t is far from Ger
many's intention to interior WITH
neutral rights or to become the au'
tocrat of the oceans"
"Could you explain in more de-
tail how Germany is fighting for tbs
freedom Of the seas?" / asked. y.
ear that America will not understand
"Well England always claimed t.
be the dictator of the high seas,
continued Herr Won Jagow, until oui
recent marine activities. Her rul'
was never challenged. We are fight
ine. to make England give up he
hold. because so long as one countr!
controls the oceans they are not free
Every nation must have right on thu
seas. 9
"The world must not forget tina
England was the first belligerent t.
violate the rules of the oceans. Eng
land first put mines in the North Sc;
and she was the first to declare
war zsne. She was the first to de
clare that she would starve our wo
men and children. England must b.
theifrst to 20 back and make the wa
normal;".
The secretary emphasized tins
last remark with rap on the desl
that left no doubt as to the hrmnes
of his convictions.
"What is 'Germany's position re
garding neutrals travelling on belll
.eerent ships?" he was asked.
"That returns to the Lusitania mat
ter, he replied. eve feel, before W
discuss that officially with the Unit
ed States, that the two government
must have a clear and definite under
standing of the facts. That is VIVA
Germany seeks to convey in her not
