LONDON, May 10.--Thc first lord Of
the admiralty, Winston Spencer Churchill.
stated in the House Of Commons this
afternoon that Captain Turner of the
Lusitania had acknowledged receipt of
messages from the admiralty giving him
warning and directions for the course
he was TO take.
THE admiralty had general knowledge
Of the German warning issued in
America" Mr. Churchill declared, land

ton concerning submarine movements 1t

Continuing Mr.. Churchill said this in
vestigation would be conducted by Lord
Mercy. assisted by skilled assessors. and
that. II would be opened without avoid
able delay. Mr.. Churchill's remarks were
drawn by questions from Lord Charles
Beresford and others. asking for details
as TO what speed the Lusitania was max

there was a patrol boat in that locality;

casion OF the presentation of a medal to
Captain Bell OF the British steamship
Thordis. which rammed German sub

Bonar Law continued. 1T Is simply muir

Churchill Says that Escorts for
Merchantmen Are Not Customary

whether all points where vessels arrive
and depart are now adequately patrolled;
what provisions were made in the case
Of the Lusitania in view of the warning
issued in America; whether Mr.. Churchill
was aware that previously to last Friday
German submarines had for some time
been actively at work on the south coast
of Ireland; whether he was aware that
the admiralty had provided torpedo boats
and other naval vessels to meet on the
south coast OF Ireland steamers carrying
horses from the United States on govern
ment account 10 convoy them to Liver
pool. and. finally. what arrangements, il
any. were made to convoy and protect the
Lusitania.
Mr.. Churchill replying to further oues-
lions, spoke as follows;
The shocking exception of the Lusi-
tania should not divert the attention OF
the House OF Commons and the country
from tho fact that Great E3ritain's entire
seaport trade has been carried on without
appreciative loss. The general principle
regarding the providing Of an escort is.
that merchant traffic must look after
itself, subject to the general arrange
nents OF the admiralty. and there is no
reason to suppose that this principle is
not entirely successful"
