ASSERT LUSITANIA
WASLEGALLY SUNK
Twenty-one German Law Ex-
perts Agree Submarine Cap
tain's Act Was Justified.

Breslau, Oct. 20. - Opinions of
twenty-one of the most prominent Ger
man authorities on international law,
with few exceptions university profess
sors. on the legal questions involved IN
the sinking of the Lusltania, have been
published in a volume and hailed as the
consensus of German opinion. In diff
fering language, but with unanimlty,
the authorities agree that the act of
the submarine was justified.
As representative of all, the Keel
nische Zeitung" selects for publication
and approving comment the opinion OF
Professor Max Fleischmann, OF the
University of Koenigsberg, and eX-
tracts from the opinion of Dr. Karl
Strupp. of Frankfort-on-the-M Main.
Dr.. Strupp quotes from naval orders
in the War of 1872, issued, respectively,
TO Lieutenant Allan, OF the American
ship Argus, and 20 Captain Stewart, the
first advising OF the adyantageousneSs
of attacking the enemy's commerce and
the second directing the sinking OF
English vessels when there IS any risk
Of their being rescued while on the way
t. a port as prizes.
"lt cannot be expressed more clearly
saws DR.. Strupp. that the North Amer
lean government orders the destruction
Of enemy ships when they cannot be
safely brought 20 friendly port"
Dr.. Strupp then asks the question
whether il is the duty of war vessel
10 save the passengers and crew of an
enemy ship, admitting in doing so that
existing rules Of international law APP
ply TO submarines. He declares they
are TO be regarded as suspended when
military necessity, or even when seri-
Gus need, arises.
The commander of vessel, he says,
must weigh the circumstances, and did
in the Lusitania case, and decided
rightly that such need did exist COR mis-
little ship before the giant vessel Of
10000 tons, (which might at any time
ram him, and which probably haO con-

The submarine commander, continues
Or. Strupp, did not have TO wait until

destruction of the Lusitania was justl-
fed. ne was under no necessity 70 take
heed of the presence of non-combat-
ants, not even Of neutrals.
The American contention that the
commander should have warned the
Lusitania Dr. Strupp characterizes as
wholly devious" In support Of his
contention he again quotes from Amer
lean precedent. and reproduces IN or.
der OF Secretary of State Bayard OF
January s, 1888, reading:
ut is the duty OF foreigners - with
draw from such risks, and IL they do
not do so, or if they voluntarily expose
themselves to such risk. they must take
the consequences"
The author also denies that any in
demnity should be paid for lives or
property lost on the Lusitania.

All through the summer the ivy vine
grew and grew. 1t spread its dainty ten
drills over the sturdy oak trunk; 1t crept
up many of the branches and around
many of the forks and limbs. But all
the while II was growing the little Ivy
vine was too busy. oh. far too busy, to
notice how big 1t had become. If any
bird or breeze had asked, How are you,

me? am only tiny ivy vine!" For when

But when the autumn came and the
