Il was late in the afternoon when
Kazan and Gray Wolf came out on
sand bar five or six miles down stream.
Kazan was tapping up the cool water
when Sandy drifted quietly around a
bend a hundred yards above them II
the wind had been right, or If Sandy
had been using his paddle, Gray Wolf
would have detected danger. 1t was the
metallic click-click Of the old fashioned
lock on Sandy's rifle that awakened
her to a sense of peril. Instantly she
was thrilled by the nearness OF 1t. Ma,
ran heard the sound and stopped
drinking to face it. In that moment
SANDY pressed the trigger. A belch Oh
smoke, a roar of gunpowder, and Ma
zan felt a red hot stream OF fire pass
with the swiftness of lightning flash
through his brain. He stumbled DacK'

the American Government.


In the interests of clear and
complete understanding, which is the
aim of both governments, the I'm
perial government considers 1t first
necessary to convince itself that the
information accessible to both gov
ernments about the facts of the
case is complete and in accord.
The government of the United
States proceeds on the assumption
that the Lusitania could be regard
ed as an ordinary unarmed mer-
chantman. The Imperial Govern
ment allows itself in this connection
to point out that the Lusitania was
one of the. largest and fastest
British merchant ships, built with
government funds as an auxiliary
cruiser and carried expressly as such
in the Navy List" issued by the
British Admiralty.
II is further known to the Imper-
ial Government, from trustworthy
reports from its agents and neutral
passengers that for considerable
time practically all the more valu-
able British merchantmen have been
equipped with cannon and ammuni-
ton, and other weapons, and man
ned with persons who have been es-
pecially trained in serving guns.
The Lusitania. too. according to in
formation received here, had can
non aboard, which were mounted
and concealed below decks.
The Imperial government further
has the honor to direct the particu-
ar attention of the American Gov
srnment to the fact that the British
admiralty, in confidential instruc-
ton issued in February. 1915
recommended its mercantile ship
ping not only to seek protection
inder neutral flags and distinguish
ing marks, but also, while thus dis
guised to attack German submarines
by ramming. AS a special incitatior
to merchantmen to destroy subma
rines, the British government also
offered high prizes and has already
paid such rewards.
The Imperial Government, IN
view of these facts, indubitably
known to 1t, is unable to regard
British merchantmen in the zone OF

ty to the states affected through the
success of its settlers. There has
never been an administration more
friendly to a just cause and such a
cause as that of putting the reclama-

the adoption of such a policy out
