Special Cabi. Despatch 10 THE suS.


QUEENSTOWN. May 1O.--"w!lful and
wholesale murder by the German Emu
peror, his Government and the officers
and crew OF the submarine" was the
verdict OF the Coroners jury in the
case OF the victims of the Lus!tania at
Kinsale to-day.
The verdict was based upon the
terse, straightforward testimony Of
Capt W. r. Turner. commander of the
ship. who thus in public made his first
statement of the tragedy.
Capt. Turner said he was warned
by the British Admiralty of the pres
ence OF German Submarines on the
Irish coast: that he received certain
specified orders as to course and the
like. and that he obeyed them. He
would do it again.
Whether one torpedo or two struck
was not definitely settled. although
there were two explosions. one Of
which may have been internal.
Capt. Turner, who showed little
effect from his experience in his man
ner. took the witness chair very coolly
and answered all questions in mat
ter of fact voice.
He was aware that threats had been
made against the ship.
Vessel Was Not Armed.
Was she armed" was an early
question.
"She was not" was the positive re-
ply.
The Coroner then asked him II he
received any message about the sink

GERMAN IDEA

Would Limit Submarine

LAW OF HUMANITY
BROKEN. L. S. HOLDS

WASHINGTON. May Io.-Germany
would like TO bargain with the United
States regarding the limitation OF her
submarine warfare. the latest mani
festation OF which caused the sacrifice
OF American lives. on this basis:
That Germany will abandon her
submarine operations involving Io.se.
to neutrais ~ Great Britain will per.
init foodstuns to enter Germany.
The views OF Germany in this re-
gard are known to officials OF the
State Department, though there has
not yet been any formal commune
cation on the subject
Tho prediction was made here to-
day. In a quarter which should he ex-
ceptionally well informed. that at the
proper moment the German Govern
ment will he found presenting officially
It's proposals for trade with the
United States.
These proposals cannot properly be
understood unless the entire German
viewpoint of the situation created by
the submarine operations is set forth
and contrasted with the viewpoint OF
tho Emitted States.
AS the situation confronting the
American people obviously requires
thai the issues be presented a. clearly
as possible they are given herewith
without comment, SO that readers OF
I The SUS may have before them the
principal arguments OF both sides in
/ this world stirring controversy.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-05-11

Here is the German side as obtained
automatically here:
At the beginning Of the war the
United States proposed to the bellig-
crents that the Declaration Of London
he accepted az the rules for the war.
Germany accepted. but Great Britain
insisted on departures from il, ana tho
United states withdrew It's suggestion.
Great Britain thereafter declared a
war zone in the North Sea In viola
ton Of international law. Suisse
Quently she prevented the importation
Of fuodstuffs for the civil population
Of Germany and tried TO starNe co.
900 O00 people in violation of the
Declaration of London ana interna-
tional law.
Germany. therefore. undertook re-

Britain At any time; and once mutual

BAsEBALL-sPoRTs OF ALL SORTS BOXING


Sox lineup and Manager Rowland is
praying that the little catcher will not
be injured again before the opening
of the American league season. 1t is
useless to warn Schalk and advise
him to be careful. He refuses to pro-
tect himself, even in exhibition
games, and takes desperate chances
to prevent the scoring of run by
the enemy.
Few cdtchers who ever wore a
mask are as effective as Schalk
when it comes to blocking a runner
at the plate. He can take a throw
from another athlete, then dive into
the path of the alien runner and fight
him away from the rubber
That is only another way of say
ing Schalk is frequently injured. His
wrists and ankles are usually pretty
well SCARED up by spike gashes, but
never yet has the Sox miget given an
inch of ground. Threats have been
made to "cut him down" at the plate,
but they have never worried Schalk.
He worked for nine full innings
yesterday and was strong and active
at the end of hostilities. The only
missing man to the star trio now is
Buck Weaver Collins and Schalk
can work together perfecting their
throw to the keystone, but Weaver is
needed to handle his share of the
business.
1t may be that Weaver and Collins
viii be slow starting their teamwork,
as Buck has been out of the game,
nut it will not take them long to rat
tie together after the season starts.
And then Meanwhile and Evers will
have rivals for supremacy as defend
ers of the middle station.
Sox beat Abilene, 13 to 2. Jim
Scott did some nice pitching. John
Collins banged four hits.

Cubs, still has a lot to learn about

self much in his six-round battle to-
day with Sam McVey. ~The affair
will be merely for the purpose of test
ing the champion out against a good,
tough opponent. But it will fail to
show how much endurance he has.
After his gymnasium work daily
Johnson puffs like a steam engine
and gives the impression that he can
not go long distance at top speed.
Willard, on the other hand. appears
to have himself well in hand, and so
far as wind and stamina are con-
cerned, he can go the route. The
only thing that can stop him is blow
from Johnson.
Willard has finished all his hard
work. From now until Monday noon
he will merely do enough walking
and gymnasium work to keep his
muscles timber. He has finished with
his sparring partners, fearing an in
jury to his hands if he continues to
batter them as he has in the past
two weeks.
A boxing bill similar to the one in
force in New York, providing for the
holding of ten-round, no decision
. bouts under the supervision of state
athletic commission, probably will
be recommended for passage next
week by the license and miscellane-
GUS committee of the lower house of
the legislature.
The three boxing bills introduced
by Representative Santry, Epstein
and Hilton were referred to sub
committee of the license committee.
Although no definite action has
been taken, members of the subcom-
mittee say they favor the general pro-
visions of the Hilton bill, which they
will try to report out as committee
measure after several minor amend
ments have been made. The Santry
bill made decisions optional with the
athletic commission.

The Heard does not know what
are the circumstances OF the writer,
but is reasonably certain that il he
had wroked as stoutly as he writes
he would have at least an acre tract
today and credit enough to buy
more.
His ratings at the trust companies
are familiar, but he must remember
that men who might perhaps lend
their own money without security
would be prevented from SO lending
the money Of their depositors, which
is trust in the true sense of the
word.
A man may rent small house and
big lot for almost anything in Ben
nington county or any other county
in Vermont The Herald knows of
such homes, slightly off the beaten
path, which can be rented for IS
month. An industrious man, with a
wife who knows how, can make
enough of such place in garden
truck, poultry and possibly pair of
shoatss to keep whole family.
If Mr.. Hays worked every day of
the year and only earned $1.50 day,
he would save enough to make first
payment after the first year and pay
for such place in two or three
years. With small place paid for,
he would have no trouble in getting

should soon be clear toward owning
small farm.
