LUSITANiA WAS ARMED
Claim OF German Government, Which
Issues Official Statement.

Amsterdam, May 10.-The German
government issued the following state.
rnent regarding the sinking OF the
Iusitania:
THE Cunard liner Lusitania was
torpedoed Friday by German sub
marine and sank. TIE Lusitania was
naturally armed with guns, as were
recently most of the English mercan-
tile steamships. Moreover, as is wall
known here, she had large quantities
of war materials in her cargo. Her
owners, therefore, knew to what dan.
ger the passengers were exposed
They alone bear all the responsibility
for what has happened Germany, on
her part, left nothing undone to re-
peatedly and strongly warn them.
The imperial ambassador in Washing
ton even went so far as to make a
public warning, so as to draw atten-
ton to this danger The English press
sneered at the warning and relied on
the protection of the British fleet to
safeguard Atlantic travel"

Mr. Bernard said he finished lunch

after 2 Friday afternoon and went
straight to the veranda cafe, where
he leaned upon the stdrboard rail
looking forward. In a moment he saw
something above the smooth surface
of the sea, at a distance of from 1870
to 200 yards from the ship. At first
he thought it was a fish's tail but &c
noticed the water seething q little

down before they could possibly re-

dead, and there is serious discussion
whether an effort shall not be made
to blow up the hull in some way to
release these bodies. She lies forty
fathoms below the surface. which
makes it too far down for divers to
think of working there or to give any
