INVESTIGATION
/. OF LUS|TAN|A
IS CONTINUED
SIR EDWARD CARSON SAYS
HE is OF THE OPINION
THAT SECOND SUBMARINE
WAS IN WAITING.

LONDON, June 1.-THE investiga-
ton into the sinking of the Lusitania
was resumed today under the direc-
ton of Baron Mersey.
Sir Edward Carson, the attorney
general, expressed his conviction that
a second submarine was lying in wait
on the port side of the LuSitania. Sir
Edward made the statement in reply
to an argument put forward by Baron
Mersey, who said he thought mis-
take had been made by Seaman
O'Neill one of the witnesses before
the court, who testified he had seen
the wash of a torpedo passing the
stern of the Lusitania from the port
to the starboard side Immediately aft
err the liner had been hit on the star
board side.
O'Neill was formerly in the navy.
He is positive that he recognized the
wash of torpedo, although he did
not see the submarine which fired it
from the pert side. His testimony
was corroborated by another seaman
witness, who testified also that he saw
the wash of two torpedoes from the
starbOard side. These came forward
in parallel lines until they almost
reached the ship, when they parted at
Ia slight angle, first one and then the
other striking the Lusitania.
Capt. w T. Turner of the Lusitania
was recalled to the stand and asked
why the collapsible boats had not
been freed from tho:f cnoclIs on en-
tering the danger zone. He replied
he feared the boats would slide about
when the ship listed and sweep pas
sengers into the sea- The captain
admitted that some boats were strap
ped on top of others.
When asked by Baron Mersey if
the increase in the number of small
boats on liners since the Titanic dis
aster was of any advantage, Captain
Turner answered that he did not think
so
Chief Steward Jones declared he
had not seen any life belt on the
upper deck of the Lusitania after the
inner had left New York. Chief
Carpenter Robertson said the condi-
ton OF the lifeboats was good when
the Lusitania left New York. In reply
10 the statement of the attorney for
a relative CT one of the victims that
certain lifeboats leaked so badly that
all but two of the occupants were
drowned, the chief carpenter replied
that he was unable to throw any
light on this statement, but said it
was possible ror the hot sun to have
warped the boatsides.

WILSON IS PRAISED
BY BRYAN IN HIS
SECOND STATEMENT
A CELEBRATION
ON JULY FOURTH
PEOPLE HERE ARE DISCUSSING
A BIG AFFAIR OF SOME
KIND.

While the plans have not as yet
taken definite shape, it is now being
planned to have big celebration of
some kind in Brunswick on July
fourth, and it is probable that meet
ing of those interested will be held
within a few days, at which time
something will be decided upon.
In the past few years Brunswick
people have been content to attend
the baseball game or spend the day
on st. Simon. This year, however,
cur ball club will be playing in Val
dosta on the fourth. or course there
will be the usual special excursions to
st. Simon.
Discussing the question yesterday,
two or three business men expressed
themselves as being in favor of big
celebration of some kind in the city,
something that can be advertised
along the four railroads entering the
city and which will bring large crowds
here. While the time for the prepare
ton of such a program is short, still
it is believed that if the proper effort
is made that everything can be ar
ranged and the day can be made a
big one. AS stated. meeting will
probably be held early next week
when something definite will be de-
cided upon.

URGES AGAINST
WAR MOVEMENT
Says That the United States Has
No Excuse to Enter
the War.
BELIEVES IN THE PRESIDENT
He Says Good Example Has
Been Given the World by
Wilson--Must Not Trust Mil
itary Agitators.

WASHINGTON. June 17-Asserting
that the preparedness provokes rather
than prevents war and that the up
heaval in Europe was a result of the
false philosophy that might makes
right" former Secretary Bryan today
in second of his series of three
statements on "the causeless war;
submits an argument against military
preparation by the United States and
praises the course Of President Wilson
in the national emergency.
"If any nation is without excuse
for entering into mad rivalry with
the belligerent nations in prepare
ton for war it is the United States"
says Mr.. Bryan. 1--WE are protected
on either side by thousands of miles
of ocean and this protection is worth
more to us than any number of bat
tleships.
We have an additional protection
in the fact, known to everyone, that
we have the men with whom to form
an army of defense if we are ever at
tackled; and it is known also that we
would have the money, too.
1.-THE leading participants in the
present war are the nations best
prepared and ! fear it would have
been difficult for US to keep out OF
this war II we had been as well pre-
pared as they.
Happy for our nation that we
have in the White House at this time
president who believes in setting
the Old World a good example, in
stead of following the bad example
which It sets in this matter, What
an unspeakable misfortune 1t would
have been if the nation had been UNI
der the leadership of a president in
famed by the false philosophy which
has plunged Europe into the abyss of
war"
In discussing the cause Of the Eu-
ropean conflict, MI. Bryan in a
lengthy analysis, argues that it is no
war Of race, religion or families, and
declares: "If l., have correctly an
alyZed the situation the war is a nat
ural result of false philosophy. The
fundamental precept of this false
philosophy is that might makes
right"
Leading up to his argument against
preparation for war by the United
States, Mr.. Bryan says:
I'VE dare not trust the peace of the
world to those who spend their time
in getting ready for wars that should
never come.
How can preparedness prevent
war If all prepare? Each step taken
by one nation toward more complete
preparedness but excites the other
nations to additional purchases of
new levies, until they have exhausted
their productive industries and men
aced their moral progress.
"The doctrine that preparedness
will prevent war will not stand the
test of logic and the conflagration in
Europe shows that it fails when
tested by experience" ">Gl"
