That the Russians are holding the

evidenced by a German official state
ment which refers to only minor opera

paratively insignificant number Of
prisoners taken. Military critics say
this indicates that there have been no
serious attacks on either side, which
probably means that the Germans are

New York World.
The United States is no longer
concerned with what Germany says
II is concerned only with what Ger
many does.
President Wilson'S third note TO
the German government in respect TO
the issues of law and humanity raised
by the Lusitania massacre is the final
word of the United States. The note
is not an ultimatum in form, but il
is an ultimatum in substance The
Imperial government is courteously
but emphatically informed that the
United States intends to maintain its
rights as neutral on the high seas,
without compromise and at any cost
and that repetition by the comman-
ders of German vessels of acts in
contravention of those rights must be
regarded by the government of the
United States as deliberately IN
friendly
The issue now rests with Ger
many C'eh the hllltai -LloO dutoS'
racy Of Berlin can have no excuse for
mistaking the meaning of these Sc
rious and measured words.
These demands are not excessive,
and in formulating them President
Wilson speaks not only for the
American people. but for civilization
itself. Unless the United States main
tains its neutral rights without COM
promise and at any cost there are
no neutral rights left which any bel
ligerent is bound to respect and the
whole world is given over TO the ter.

HISTORY OF THE BOAT.
Built In 1908, Owned In Cleveland,
Remodeled This Year.

Remodeled This Year

cation Company, of Cleveland, Ohio.

had draft of 90 feet, with net ton
mage of 1,21S. 1t was brought to Chi
cago in 1904 and was used in the ex-
cursion business to South Haven,

taken to Cleveland and placed in the
excursion service there.
This spring the boat was remodeled
1t was then brought to Chicago .and
put on the run to St Joseph, Mich. 1t

cHIcAeo's GREAT CALAMITY.

Latest figures given out by
Coroner Hoffman, of Chicago, on
the death toll of the capsized
steamer Eastland, showed that
S92 bodies have been recovered,
and that 1000 of the remaining
1858 passengers have registered
with the Western Electric Com
pany as saved. OF the SIG unac-
counted for. it was thought that
about 400 were alive and 1SS still
in the river, making the total dead
approximately 1000.
"A considerable portion of the
blame for the Eastland disaster
rests upon the United States In
spection Bureau" said Maclay
Hoyne. states attorney, in a state
ment in Chicago regarding his in
vestigation of the wreck. "If the
inspectors had done their duty the
accident could not have occurred.
We know the ship was considered
unsafe by them. because / have
copies of letters sent to Washing
ton which predicted this occur
renee. I may introduce these let
tiers at the inquest"
The states attorney will submit
to the grand jury letter written
IN 1913 by John D. York, a naval
architect of Chicago. to the steam
boat inspector warning him that
the Eastland was not safe boat.
Colonel Hannah. secretary to
Senator La Toilette, puts the
blame on faulty laws and lax in
spection. He says a representa-
tive of the Seamen's Union had
called the attention of the inspec-
ton service to the danger of al
lowing large crowds on boats of
the Eastland type
Acting Mayor Moorhouse de-
cided to raise a relief fund of
100000 to be distributed under
AVStAO4l VI iAC -NdilOAdl lCu
Cross. In addition to this the
Western Electric Company, whose
employees formed the majority of
the Inflated excursion party, an
nounced that 100000 from its en-
ployes insurance funds was avail
able for relief.
The most discussed theories of
the disaster are four: That the
boat was overloaded; that she was
not properly ballasted; that tug
that made fast to warp the East
land from the docks started pull
ing too soon; that congestion Of
passengers rushing to the port
side, attracted by some passing
sensation, tipped the steamer
over.

Chicago.-More than 1000 persons,
most of them women and children,
were drowned Saturday within few
feet of land by the capsizing Of the
steel steamer Eastland as it was about
to leave its wharf in the Chicago river
with $500 relatives and friends of en-
ployes of the Western Electric Com
pany for an excursion across Lake
Michigan. The ship rolled over on
its side in rs feet of water within FIVE
minutes after it began to list
Three Investigations Under Way.
The cause of the capsizing has not
been determined, but Federal, city and
State officers are conducting investi-
cations to determine whether the ship
was top heavy from faulty designing,
was improperly ballasted or was poor
ly handled in warping from the wharf
Marine architects asserted that the
Eastland was faulty in design, that
the top deck had been removed be-
cause of the tendency of the ship to
list and also pointed to the possibility
that the ship had been unevenly or in
sufficiently ballasted. The Eastland
used water ballast, so that it could
pump out some on entering shallow
lake harbors, so some investigators
are working on theory that the bal
last tanks were not filled and the
rushing of passengers to one side of
the deck caused it to roll over.

Under misty skies 1000 men, women

Erie after an unsatisfactory career,
was the first TO be loaded.
Rain began to fall as the wharf
superintendent lifted the gangplanks
from the Eastland, declaring that the
Government limit of $500 passengers
had been reached. White dresses
peeped from raincoats along the shore
rails as those aboard waved good-by
to friends on shore waiting to board
the steamer Theodore Roosevelt and
other vessels,
Then the passengers swarmed to
the left side of the ship, as the other
steamers drew up the river toward
the wharf. A tug was hitched to the
Eastland. ropes were ordered cast off
and the steamers engines began to
hum. The Eastland had not budged,
however. Instead, the heavily laden
ship wavered sidewise, leaning first
toward the river bank. The lurch was

HEAR FROM KIMMEL,
MYSTERY MAN OF NILES
Writes from Missouri That He
Is Trying His Best to
Remain Sane.

NILES. March 25.-"George a
Kimmel," the man of mystery, whose
identity has been one of the greatest
puzzles that ever mystifed the people
of Niles, has been heard from again.
a letter under date Of March Is. from
81. Charles, Mo, fills two sides OF a
sheet OF fOolscap. and ne has much 20
say about incidents OF the famous in
surance trial at st. Louis and OF tes-
umony and incidents which had a
bearing on the efforts 10 prove and
10 disprOVe his identity as the real
George A. Kimmel.
He concludes his letter with these
words: Il am trying my best not to
go TO pieces. No one but God and
myself know what a strain this has
been TO me-"
He asks that his letters be pre-
served. for some day they will be
needed badly. and / hope vindicate
me in the eyes of all"
He speaks of the sheriff bringing a
letter written BY a Niles friend to
him that was mailed by mistake to
the prison which is 200 miles from
ST. Charles. He makes no further
reference than that to his last arrest
for forgery. for which he is supposed
ly still held in the St Charles jail
The confidence of many Niles peo-
pie that this man is the real George
a. K,mmel is still firm, nothwithstapd-
ing that ne has not the slightest phys
ical resem blance to Kimmel. his hair
and eyes being the exact opposites in
color to Kimmels and the contour Of
his nose and face bearing little or no
resem blance to the original Kimmel
he peTsistently maintains that he is.
In his letter he says: at the time
of my disappearance L had between
two and three hundred dollars to my
. credit in the Arkansas City bank.
Edna had between ten and twelve
hundred dollars on deposit there"
He says about S17O was spent look
ing for me-" and he can't understand
why II was necessary to put up the
life insurance policies on my life to
borrow money. It's fake. A child
could see it was false, still it was
