LUSITANIA FULLY ARMED
AND CARRIED AMMUNITION
Berlin Justifies Sinking, Regretting
Loss of Lives of
Neutrals.

BERLIN. via London, May 9. 80 a m.
The destruction of the Lusitania has
made deep impression here.
While the loss Of the lives of neutrals
is regretted, the sinking of the steam
er is justified, because, it is alleged,
the Lusitania was a fully armed Brit
ish auxiliary cruiser. 1t is also as
sumed here. according to the semi of
fetal statement, that the vessels hold

The fact that fthe German ambassa

vertisement Immediately before the
Lusitania sailed warning Americans
against taking passage on British
steamers is regarded by Germans in
Berlin as fully generating the Ger
man government from blame

DEADLY STEEL ARROW
USED BY FRENcH AIRMEH

French military airmen are employ
ing a new weapon, known as a "fech-
ette,,' which is proving to be as effec-
tive in harassing the personnel of an
army as any offensive instrument yet
designed for use with lighter-than-air
machines. It consists of a steel ar
row of about the same size and much
the same appearance as lead PEN
ell. The head of it is tapered, while
lengthwise grooves serve to give it
the proper balance and allow 1t to
travel through the air point downward.
A score or more Of these are dropped
at one time over q trench. A report
of the erect OF these arrows, falling
from a height of about 5000 feet,
states that one of them, striking a
soldier on the shoulder, passed entire-
ly through his body and traversed the

The fake gypsy vas looking eagerly

The fake gypsy was looking eagerly
about the room, apparently for q
means OF escape. Just then jennings
hurried In.

As Jennings approached her, the
gypsy suddenly developed remark
able strength. She gave him a shove
that sent him Keeling. His foot caught
on the edge of the fountain and he
staggered a minute. unable to recover
his balance, then, with great splash,
fell In. The gypsy turned and fed
through the palms. Elaine and Aunt
Josephine following her.
She ran as far as she could, coming
up to the glass wall that formed
the inner end of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. She
seized a little rustic chair and
dashed 1t through the glass. Cautious.

from Elaine then to Aunt Josephine

stopped and picked up another hand

Kennedy was speechless with re-
lief. He took the other handkerchief
and rapidly ran his hand over II. AT
last he came to a little hard lump in
the hem. He ripped 1t open. There
was the little tube of radium!
You're lucky" he exclaimed ''If
you had had that tube over your eyes
IL would have done its work in a few
minutes. You might not feel 1t for
some time, but you would have been
blinded at least in few days, II not
hours"
Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
were overcome as they thought OF
the peril from which Elaine had been
so narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain a shudder. For
the moment he forgot sven about
Inez. Then, suddenly, he recollected
"Oh, by the way" he exclaimed

the door with his skeleton key. AS
he started to do so, his eyes fell on
the fire escape outside.

be best to reconnoiter. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the fire escape
