Time TO Leave Falaba.

THE eases of the Crushing and
the Gulflight will be treated on
the same principles. An investi-
CATION of both eases is in progress
the result of which will presently
be communicated to the embassy.
The investigation can, il neces-
sary, be supplemented by an in
ternational call on the interna-
tional commission of inquiry as
provided by article 3 of the
hague agreement of Oct. Is,
1907.

steamer Falaba, the commander

the master did not obey the or

summoned help by rocket signals

it took cognizance with satisfac-

submitted by the United States
government to Berlin and London
as a basis for modus vivendi for
conducting the maritime warfare

its soldiers by destroying ammu-
milton intended for the enemy.
THE British shipping company
must have been aware of the dan
ger TO which the passengers a.
board the Lusitania were exposed
under these conditions. The com
pany in embarking them notwith-
standing this, attempted delibe-
rately TO use the lives of Ameri-
can citizens as protection for the
ammunition aboard and acted a.
gainst the clear provisions of the
American law which expressly
prohibits the forwarding of pas
sengers ON ships carrying ammu-
milton and provides a penalty
therefor. The company, therefore
rs wantonly guilty of the death of
so many passengers.
There can be no doubt, ae-
cording to the definite report OF
submarines commander, which
is further confirmed by all other
information, that the quick sink
ing of the Lusitania is primarily
attributable to the exlopsion OF
the ammunition shipment caused
by a torpedo. The Lusitania pas.
sengers would otherwise, in all
human probability, have beer
saved.

GERMAN NOTE RECEIVED.
REPLY Is EvAsIvE.

Germany's reply to the Ameri-
can note bearing ION the recent
acts of the German authorities in
violation of American rights on
the high seas, which eliminated
in the torpedoing and sinking Of
the British steamship Lusitania,
by which over 100 American citi-
zens lost their lives" has been
received and was made public
Monday As a whole, the note is
not satisfactory, in as much as It
makes no direct answer to the
demands made by the United
States.
The note is az follows:
THE imperial government has
subjected the communication Of
the American government TO a
thorough investigation. Ii enter
tains also a keen wish 10 cooper
ate in a frank and friendly way
IN clearing up a possible misun.
dersianding which may have a.
risen in the relations between
rhe two governments through the
events mentioned by the Ameri-
can government.
Regarding firstly, the case Of
the American steamers Gushing
and Gulflight. The American EN-
bassy has already been informed
that the German government has
no intention of submitting neutral
ships in the war zone, which are
guilty of no hostile acts, TO az.
lacks by a submarine or subma.
rines or aviators. On the con.
trary, the German forces have re.
peaiedly been instructed most
specifically to avoid attacks on
such ships.
IF neutral ships in recent
months have suffered through the
German submarine warfare. ow-
ing to mistakes in Identification,
II is a question only of quite iso.
lated and exceptional eases, which
can he attributed to the British
governments abuse of flags, TO-
gether with the suspicious or
culpable behavior of the masters
of the ships.
The German government in
all eases in which il has been
shown by the Investigations that
a neutral ship, not itself at fault,
was damaged by German subma-
riLas or aviatos, has expressed
regret over the unfortunate acci-
dent and, if justified by condi-
tionS, has offered indcmnifica-
lions.

man government has already ex-
pressed TO the neutral govern.
ments concerned its keen re-
greet that citizens of their States
lost their lives.
On this occasion the imperial
government, however, cannot es-
cape the impression that certain
important facts having direct
bearing on the sinking of the
Lusltania may have escaped the
attention of the American govern,
ment.
In the interest of a clear and
complete understanding, which is
the aim of both governments, the
imperial government considers il
first necessary TO convince itself
that the information accessible to
both governments about the facts
OF the ease is complete and in ac.
cord.

1.-THE imperial government, in
view of these facts, individually
known TO il, is unable to regard
British merchantmen in the zone
of naval operations specified by
the admiralty staff of the German
navy az undefended. German
commanders consequently are no
longer able TO observe the custO-
mary regulations of the prize law,
which they before always follow
ed.
Finally, the imperial govern
ment must point out particularly
that the Lusitania ON its last
trip, as ON earlier occasions, car
ried Canadian troops and war ma
terial, included no less that 5,4OO
eases of ammunition intended for
the destruction of the brave Ger
man soldiers who are fulfilling
their duty with selfsacriiice and
devotion in the fatherland's SER

Was British Auxiliary Cruiser.

THE government of the Unit
ed States proceeds ON the assump-
tion that the Lusitania should be
regarded as an ordinary unarmed
merchantman. The imperial gov
ernment allows itself in this con
nection to point out that the Lusi
tsnia was one of the largest and
fastest British merchant ships,
built with government funds az
an auxiliary cruiser and carried
expressly as such in the Navy
List issued by the British ad-
miralty.
Ii is further known TO the Inn
perial government, from trust
worthy reports from its agents
and neutral passengers that for a
considerable time practically all
the more valuable British mer-
chantmen have been equipped
with cannon and ammuni-
ton, and other weapons, and
manned with persons who have
been especially trained in serving
guns. The Lusitania, too, accord
ing to information received here,
had cannon aboard, which were
mounted and concealed below
decks.
THE imperial government fur
Their has the honor TO direct the
particular attention of the Amer
lean government 10 the fact that
the British admiralty in a conf
dental instruction, issued in Feb
ruary 1915, recommended its mer-
camille shipping not only TO seek
protection under neutral flags
and distinguishing marks, but al
so, while thus disguised, to at
tack German submarines by ram
ming. AS a special mediation to
merchantmen to destroy subma.
rines the British government also
offered high prizes and has al
ready paid such rewards.
