ypect the government of the United
States to omit any word or any act
necessary to the performance of its

That is one of the significant SEN
fences in the communication adj
dressed to Germany by the United
States and which will be received by
Germany today in protest against the
sinking not only of the Lusitania, but
of the British passenger steamer Fa-
laba on March %, through which
Leon C. Thresher. an American citi-
zen, was drowned; the attack on. the
American vessel Gushing, April %,
by German aeroplane, and the torpe-
doing on May 1 of the Gulflight by
German submarine, which resulted
in the death of two or more Amer
leans.

SHIP WRECK RAISES POINT
INTERESTING QUESTION IN ADJ
MIRALTY PROCEDURE.
Mexico Could inferno Japanese Ships
Officers Who Landed There
United States Vessels Aid.

San Diego, California.-The Japa-
nese cruiser Asama, which struck an
unchartered rock off the western
coast Of Lower California, according
to information reaching here, is a
complete wreck. Two United States
cruisers are reported to be standing
by the vessel and two Japanese war
ships speeding to it to assist the crew.
An interesting question In admiral
ty procedure has arisen over the
wreck. Under a strict Interpretation
of the neutrality laws, Mexico, it is
pointed out, has right to intern the
officers and men of the Asama who
landed on Mexican soil, until the end
Of the European war. At the same
time the United Sattes warships or
ships OF other neutral nations may
assist in the saving OF life from the
wrecked Japanese cruiser, it is said,
but they can render no assistance to-
ward salvaging the ship or her gear
without violating the neutrality laws.
The San Diego and Raleigh, it is re-
ported, will stand by the Asama until
the arrival of the Japanese warships.
They will then return to San Diego.

PARENTS SENT TO PRISON
Husband Is Sentenced to Term in
Sing Sing and Wife Is Ordered
to Auburn.

New York, N. Y.,-Judge Rosalski
sentenced Frederick Haefner to five
years in Sing Sing and his wife to FIVE
years in Auburn prison for the aban-
donment of their children. This is
the couple which recently abandoned
their two boys, one and the other 2h
years old, in the arcade of a depart
ment store, with pathetic note that
the father was out of work and down
to his last cent.
Publication of the facts brought
scores of offers of help, which prompt
ed the Haefners to come forward and
claim the children. Investigation de-
velOped that they previously had aban-
doned two other children, one of
which, an infant in arms, was placed
in a baby carriage on a cold, rainy
day and died of pneumonia as a result.
This changed the sympathy to indig-
nation, and the couple were prose
cuted for the abandonments. They
pleaded guilty. Mrs. Haefner asked
for mercy on the ground that she
loved her boys, but her prayer was
ignored.

IsH ADMIRALTY, 1T Is
REPORTED.
TO SAVE SHIP AND CARGO
Hold That ANY ships May Use Any
Flag " Thereby Lives Of
Neutrals Are Made Safer
U. S. to Protest.

London, England.--The use Of the
American flag by the British steamer
Lusitania of the Cunard line in its
voyage across the Irish sea has
aroused great interest, and, although
it did not mention this instance
specifically, the British foreign office
issued a statement dealing with such
usage in a general way.
1t argues that the only effect in the
case on a merchantmen flying a neu'
trail flag would be to compel a belli-
gerent ship to investigate the nation
atty of the vessel and the character
of her cargo before capturing her.
Foreign office Statement.
1t is pointed out also that by the
merchant shipping act of 1894 for
eign vessels are permitted to use the
British colors for the purpose Of es-
Gaping capture.
Officials here held strongly to the
view that, in the use of a neutral
flag, British ships, bearing neutral
passengers, particularly Americans,
are fully justified in taking whatever
measures are deemed necessary to
save life.
The United States will enter a
formal protest.
