GERMANY JUsTIFIEs ACT

Germany Declared to Have Left
Nothing Undone in Warning.
Berlin, via wireless to London.-The
following official communication was
issued here:
"The Cunard liner Lusitania was
yesterday torpedoed by German SUBJ
marine and sank.
"The Lusitania was naturally armed
with guns, as were recently most of
the English mercantile steamers.
Moreover, as is well known here, she
had large quantities OF war munitions
In her cargo.
"Her owners, therefore, knew to
what danger the passengers were ex-
posed. They alone bear all the re-
sponsibility for. what has happened.
Germany, on her part, left nothing
undone to warn them repeatedly and
strongly. The Imperial ambassador In
Washington even went so far as to
make q public warning 30 as to draw
attention to this danger. The English
press sneered then at this warning
and relied on the protection of the
British fleet to safeguard Atlantic
traffic"

fellow passenger, to his father. told
of his safety and of his inability to
find the missing woman and her chill
dren.
Dorothy Common, Of Medford, Or, Safe.
New York.-Among the Lusitania
survivors, according to dispatches, is
Miss Dorothy Conner, whose name ap-
pears on the passenger list as from
New York. This probably refers to

The small boats which had gotten
away from the side of the liner picked
up a good many survivors, who, with
life belts or clinging to wreckage.

water. But soon the boats all were
crowded. These boats were in turn
picked up by rescuing steamers COM
ing at full speed from shore points.
but in many cases four or more hours
elapsed before the rescuers reached
the scene. In many cases the only
work left for the rescue workers to
do was to collect from the water the

About 15O feet of the new road to the Pailister Hospital was washed out last night by the bursting of the Ai- aska-Juneau Hume on the hlll just above the roadway. A short time ago the city agreed to stand half the ex- pense of macadamising the new ap- proach Go che hospital and the work has been rushed since that time It was to have been finished within week. but as the result of last nights washout win have to be entirely done over, Dr. Pallister says. A large amount of gravel and shale had been hauled in for the bedding and the final treatment for macadamising would have been started tho latter part of this week
 Lower Front street was transform ed into a sea of mud by the heavy rush of water, and several men were busy all morning shovelling the muck on the sidewalk ih the channel side of the street.
 Dr. Pallisler stated this morning that he has not yet estimated what the damage win amount to. Work win be started Immediately toward putting the road bed in shape again. It win be necessary to haul in a num- Der of loads of new gravel to replace that which has been washed out

National Defens8 League q Pioneer
 The National Defense League was organized February 9, 1913, at Q meet ing of Congressman and citizens ln
 the House of Representatives office building in the National capital. This was the first effort to start o move ment to prepare adequately the Unit ed States for National defense, Rep. resentativo Julius Kahn was elected chairman. and Senator Broussard was elected vicc-chairmon. Since then. the league. to which belongs the hon. or and the credit of starting the Na- tional Defense movement in this coun- ! ltry has had many imitators. From the small beginning by the league less than three years ago the National de- fense idea has grown until it is now undoubtedly tho most important Ques- tion before the American people. The National Defense League has accom- plished much for the cause for which 1t was organized. The league put through Congress- the Kahn Rifle bill, which was incorporated in the Army appropriation two years ago. by the provisions of which the National Rifle Association of America was empow- cred by law to issue free government rifles and ammunition to civilian rifle clubs.
