London May 12.-Viscount Bryce former British
Ambassador at Washington and now chairman OF a
special government committee appointed to Investigate
and report outrages alleged to have been committed
by German troops during the present war, has submit
ted the report of the committee to Premier Asquith
The document is considered probably the most Sc
arragnrnent thus far made of the German military
sweep Belgium mainly because of the position Of
Vscount Bryce historian and also because of the
care with which the investigation made, the great
number of witnesses whose testimony examined,
and the of evidence submitted with the report
of the committee.

Main Points
OF j. S. Note
To GoToday
To Germany

The principal points in the
note now ready to submit to
Germany on the sinking of the
Lusitania are substantially as
follows:
THE United States government
calls attention to the various incidents
in the war zone proclaimed by Ger
many around the British Isles; the
sinking of the British liner FaIaba
with the loss of Leon c. Thresher, an
American; the attack by German air.
men on the American steamer Cush.
ing; the torpedoins without warning
Of the American steamer Guifiisht,
flying the Stars and Stripes and final
y the torpedoins without warning Of
than 4 thousand lives Of non-eom-
batants, among them more than 100
Americans.
2-These acts are declared to be in
defensihIe under international law.
The United States points out that it
1SsCT dCIbSSCS tb9bt ~ w
them and warned the Imperial gov
eminent that it would be held to a
"strct accountability" for attacks on
| American vessels or lives A strict
accounting, therefore, is now asked
| from Germany.
@The usual financial reparation
will be sought although Germany is in
effect reminded that no reparation
can restore the lives Of those saeri-
feed in the sinking Of the Lusitania
and other ships
4Expressions Of regret may COM
ply with the legal presidents but they
are vatueless unless accompanied by
cessation Of the practice endanserins
lives Of non -comhatants.
SThe right Of neutrais to travel
any point Of the high seas on neutral
or belIiserent merchantmen is as
serted.
Sin the name Of humanity and in
ternational law, the United States de-
mands a guarantee that these rights
will be respected and that there be no
| repetition Of attacks on merchantmen
carrying non eombatants.
-The giving Of warnings to the
American public without officially
communicating them to the United
States government rs commented on
in connection with the German en-
bassys printed advertisement before
the sailing Of the Lusitania, but ir-
respective Of the failure to advise the
| American government Of Germany's
purpose, the point is made that not
| ice Of an intention to do an unlawfu
act neither justified nor legaiized it.
eEThe suggestion is conveyed that
the German government Of course
could not have intended to destroy
innocent lives and that consequently
the German submarine commanders
must have misunderstood their in
structions. The American govern
ment indicates its hope that this will
be found to be true, and q cessation
Of the unlawful practices thereby will
result.
Gin conclusion, Germany's atten.
ton 10 called to the earnestness Of thu
government and people Of the United
States in this situation. II 10 made
plain that the United States will
leave nothing undone either in dipIo
matte representation or other action
to obtain a compliance by Germany to
the request made.

Eager Interest

In executive quarters intense inter-
est prevailed today and news Of what
the American note contained was Gag
erly sought by officials in the govern
ment departments and in diplomatic
circles generally.
Some International lawyers and Dip
loulats who have followed closely Ger
manys course since beginning the
submarine warfare, were Of the opin-
ion that compliance by Germany with
the terms Of the American note would
not be surprising and even that such a
course would not be a departure from
previous expressions. Germany has
maintained, it was commended, that the
submarine activity IVES begun only
because England was not permit food
stuffs and conditional contraband des-
tined to civilians to reach Germany,
and because the neutrals by their pro-
tests had been powerless to effect an
adherence to the rules of information
al law by the allies in questions Of con-
traband Should Germany announce
her intention to abandon submarine
warfare, it was believed by some diplo-
mats, she would not necessarily make
a stipulation, but would state her ex-
pectation that the United States az
the greatest neutral would sequal equal
grounds from the allies ON questions
Of contraband.
In the event that Germany took the
opposite course and refused to comply
with the wishes Of the United States
high officials declined to predict whai

0SA l AOA61us o6OO 70 yO6E0s
philippine MISSIONARY TO
BUILD SCHOOL.
Father Oswald Key, the missionary,
who wrote in to the Catholic Church
Extension Society that his missions,
and even his life was in grave danger
unless he had help, will evidently soon
be on his feet again. Help has come
In. The appeal went out for Father
Key, and one generous soul sent in a
check for $500 for him and another
sent in 500. Many small donations
also have come for him and now in the
last few weeks the Society has easily
$500 to be sent to him. But the, So
ciety wants thousand dollars for this
missionary, who has borne so many
hardships-among them may be men.
toned the lack of house, exposure
to tropical weather, no school, not
enough to eat, and a few other things
which, If we had to bear, we would be
more than likely to say, Enough, dear
Lord, enough!"
Father Key has borne it patiently.
He has suffered so long and been pa
tient SO long that patience has degen.
Grated from virtue to q negative
good. Patience has starved him, and
left him in despair, and he turned to
the Society for help.
"The exposure of seven years to the
tropical heats and rains have done
their work." he says, "and unless help
comes soon in the shape of funds to
build a school, my good Bishop Doher.
ty. will have one less priest in his do
cese."
If any one has tried living on moth
ing but herbs and roots, while we
American Catholics have allowed him
to starve and have failed to extend
the helping hand, that man is Father
Key. There Is no one reading this who
could not give Father Key something.
You would not miss it. God does not
forget. but don't give it to get it back,
but simply give it to our Lord Himself
for a missionary who has suffered
hunger and thirst and exile and heart
break for His cause, and that mis-
sioner is Father Oswald Key.
The Society lacks 5000 toward the
thousand which, God willing, is to be
sent to him. A thousand dollars would
set him on his feet; 1t would save his
mission. Father Key has borne the
burden long enough. It is time that
help came in. Father Key is in a |
strange land doing the work. It is
Christ's work.
Any donations sent to the offices of
the Catholic Church Extension Society,
Mccormick Bldg, Chicago. will be add
ed to his fund and sent on to him.
CHURCH WINS 5000 DAMAGES.
Alleging that the whole interior of
the Church of Our Lady of Grace at
Doylestown, Pa, was badly damaged
by excessive use of chemicals, q YER
dict in favor of the Church authorities
for 5000 was rendered by jury in the
Civil Court here to-day against two
former members of the Health Board
OF South Langhorne borough.
Damages claimed amounted to about
$500. It was alleged that health off.
Gals damaged the woodwork. hanglngs
and altar furnishings and destroyed
the vestments by an excessive use of
fumigating chemicals a few days after
Easter Of last year. The chemicals
boiled out of the twenty-five ordinary
buckets in which they were distrib-
uted about the church and spread over
the floor in such way that the rector
of the church said ut looked as though
Vesuvius had upset."
