DERNBURG SUBJECT
OF BRITISH GIBES

London, May 1.-THE Daily News
referring editorially TO DR.. Dernburg's
apparent anxiety to leave the United
States and return to Germany, says:
"Either he thinks his work finished
or he thinks il definitely d failure.
The real test is whether in American
politics German-Americans will put
Germany before other issues or causes.
Or. Dernburg's sudden, distsste for
America suggests he has no doubt
which way Germans will move.
at is amusing to find that Dr. Dern-
hprg would like a safe conduct from
the allied governments. He and all
claiming that the British feet has
been driven to cover in harbor. and
that British command of the sea is dead

not cross the seas without British
safe conduct. Perhaps whether he gets

MOTHER AND CHILD
FLOAT UPON RAFT
Captain Says Steamship Passed
by Cunarder'S Wreckagc for
Almost an Hour.

Thomas Kinsey, the veteran purser
OF the American liner 81. Paul, was
conducting n religious service IN the
main dining saloon OF Sunday morning
Of last week when man came in from
the deck and announced quietly that
some Of tho Lusitsnis's dead we're
drifting ahead of the starbosrd bow
Mr. Krnsey had about concluded tho
service when the vessel poked her nose
INTO turbulent mass OF wreckage
from the lost Cunarder. A prayer had
been offered for the victims and the
Vorshppers had been meditating on
the tragedy when grewsome evidence
Of the Germans handiwork came DRIFT
ing by. -.
In silence the passengers fled out
OF the saloon and, lining the rail-
becred into the sea, some with binocu-
lars end others merely screening their
eyes from the light with their hands.
Captain 7. ". Passow, master OF the
81. Paul. was the first 10 sight the
human hotssm coming toward him and
he put the liner over trihe TO avoid
crashing through il. He said he passed
the frst Of the drift at 1880 o'clock
a. m. Fragments Of the wreckage were
in evidence for nearly an hour.

ing her hair over her shoulders like a
shawl Her right arm, bare TO the
shoulder and bent, held firmly TO the
edge Of the raft.
Passengers who looked at her through
the glass thought they could see lash
ings around her shoulder, but Captain
Psssow, who had observed the body
closely, said the woman was held there
merely by the grip she had taken while
alive and that this was further set by
death.
On her bosom, high up near her
shoulders, was child about three
years old. Her left arm held the little
figure in vise-like grip which even the
power of the waves had been unable TO
break for two days. -.
Occasionally the raft would dip
under the sea, but as it rose mother
and child came up with it. The scene
did not last long, for the 81. Paul was
plunging on At seventeen knots, ana
the mother and her babe were soon
lost IN the hazy wake Of the liner.

Several Of the passengers thought Il
a crime to let these two bodies drop

TO pick up bodies and no means on
board of preserving them.

antine yesterday il was reported that

Captain Passow said he had seen one

child, but it was far away.

1--WE had an absolutely uneventful
voyage" Mr.. Daniels said, the only
excitement being when we ran into
fog of Ireland and a bad storm IN the
Irish Channel. Lifeboats were unslung

There WAS great trepidation among the
women passengers throughout the vow
age, but we managed TO assure them
that under our neutral flag they were
safe. A majority Of tho passengers
were Canadians. The ship sailed with

lights around her name, which was

Fact I. r. Is "Pretender

London. May 17.-"The Daily Mail"
quotes from DER Tag" an article by
Herr Won Rath. who is described as the
favorite spokesman Of Wilhelmstrasse
The article is in part as follows:
President Wilson is very much
troubled by the drowning of 80 many
American citizens. We Germans sin
cerely share his feelings, but We see
In the Lusitania affair one of many
cruel necessities which the struggle
for existence brings with 1t. II. as
English reports try to make US believe,
Mr.. Wilson is now meditating revenge
we will not disturb him in this occupa-
ton, but would only hope that his de-
mands will be addressed TO the right
and not TO the wrong quarter. The
right address is England
"Mr. Wilson is certainly In a pre-
carious position. After showing h,m-
self so weak in the face of the long
and ruthless British provocations, he
has 70 play the strong man with Ger
many; otherwise he will lose what
prestige he has left. lie knows that
in the background the pretender TO
the throne, Mr.. Roosevelt, is lurking.
Should the United States send troops
to take part in the lighting IN Flau-
ders? The gigantic losses Of their
Canadian neighbors should not exactly
encourage them.
Moreover. the United States are so
weak that they have never even been
able to impose their will on Mexico or
to do anything TO the still more un-
pleasant Japanese than to clench their
fists in their pockets.
let the United States preserve Us
from warmed-up humanitarian plati-
tudes, for her craven submission TO
England's will is promoting an out
rsgeous scheme TO deliver Germany
women and children to death b. starya-
ton"
