OF ''LUSITAN|A''
English Admiralty, However,
May Refuse to Disclose
Many of the Important
Facts.

LONDON, June 15.-The inquiry in
to the torpedoing of the Lusitania,
which the board of trade has institut-
ed, opened at Central Hall, Westmin-
ster, today, with Lord Mersey presid.
ing. The investigation will take up
all phases of the disaster, but it is
thought the admiralty will refuse to
disclose many important facts on the
grounds of the danger that informa-
ton Of value may be given to Great
Britain's enemies.
For this reason it is not expected
that Lord Mersey will be able to de-
velop just wha precautions were taken
by the naval authorities to safeguard
the big Cunarder. 1t has been charged
by survivors of the disaster that on
reaching Queenstown they found sew
eral destroyers and other fast craft
tugging idly at their anchors when
they might just as we'll have gone to
the assistance of the Lusitania. On
this subject it is considered certain
the admiralty will remain mum.
Lord Mersey, who conducted the tt
tanic and Empress of Ireland inquiries
is credited with knowing more about
maratine law than any other judge on
the English bench, past or present.
He has retired from the bench with
pension of $4,000 year, but he re-
mains one of the law lords of the
house of lords, and as such is called
upon to exercise judicial functions
whenever cases are appealed to the
house of lords, as the highest tri
bunal Of the realm.
His knowledge of maritime matters
was acquired partly as president Of
the admiralty division of the higt
court Of justice and more especially
prior to his accession to the bench
| first of all during the twelve years
years that he spent in the Liverpool
office of his father, one of the lead
ing ship owners Of that port, and aft
erward as standing counsel for very
many years of the the Whitestal
Steamship company.

AGAINST METZ

PARIS, June 15.-Using their
mightiest howitzers, the Germans
have bombarded Compiegne, but it was
officially announced by the French
war office today that little damage
had been done to property and that
no lives had been lost.
In the region of Quennevieres farm

been launched in an effort to recap.
ture trenches taken by the French
were completely repulsed and the Ger
mans put to rout. Cempiegne lies for
ty miles south Of Paris at the junction
Of the Aisne and Disc rivers.
Great importance is attached here
to the new French thrust which is be
ing made in Lorraine and which is be
lieved to be the forerunner of a bic
attempt by Gen. Joffre, the French
commander in chief against Metz. The
immediate objective of the French is
supposed to be Parroy forests north
