ceived the following telegram from

proach to within six miles Of the city.

JUSTIFIES LUSITANIA SINKING.

The German Justification of the sink
Ing of the Lusitania Is keenly felt here,
inasmuch as President Wilson had made
the fate of the Americans on that
steamer the chief text of his last two
communications to Germany. Where
Germany had been given opportunity ts
disavow the action OF her submarine
commander. she has chosen to declare
that to have spared the ship would have
been to have robbed thousands of Ger
man families of breadwinners.
The German position on the Lusitania
Is set forth in the following statement
The case of the Lusitania shows with
horrible clearness to what jeopardiZing
of human lives the manner of conduct
ing war employed by our adversaries
leads. In the most direct contradiction
of international law. all distinctions be-
tween merchantmen and war vessels
have been obliterated by the order to
British merchantmen to arm themselves
and to ram submarines. and the prom
ise of rewards therefor, and neutrals
VINO use merchantmen as travellers
thereby have been exposed In an in
creasng degree to all the dangers OF
war. If the commander or the Ger
man submarine which destroyed the
Lusitania had caused the crew and
passengers to take to the boats before
nring a torpedo. this would have meant
the sure destruction Of his own ves-
sci. After the experiences in sinking
much smaller and less seaworthy yes
sells, 1t was to be expected that a
mighty ship like the Lusitania would
remain above water long enough. even
after the torpedotng. to permit passen-
gers to enter the ships boats. Circum-
stances of very peculiar kind, espe-
ctally the presence on board OF large
Quantities of highly explosive materials
dissipated that expectation. In addition.
it may be pointed out that II the Lusi-
tania had been spared. thousands OF
cases of munitions would have been
sent to Germany's enemies and thereby
thousands Of German mothers and
children would have been robbed OF
breadwinnerS.'
