WILL AVER THAT
MUNITIONS EXPLODED
REPLY WILL HOLD BOAT
WOULD NOT HAVE SUNK
FROM TORPEDO ALONE
(By Associated Press)

Paris, May 1S.-Germany's reply to
the American note ON the sinking OF
the liner, Lusitania, will be sent
Thursday.
According to the Mathis Amster-
dam correspondent, 1t will justify the
torpedo attack on the steamer on the
grounds that the submarine com
mander has affirmed in his report that
only one torpedo was fired which
convinces him that the second ex-
plosion was due to the fact that the
ship carried munitions of war.
The report is said to state that the
torpedo was fired in such way that
the Lusitania would not have sunk if
she had not had explosives aboard
The Berlin Taglische Rundschau
commenting on the reports that the
Lusitania incident has caused a
growing insight in America, says:
"This insight probably will lead to
the discovery that England really is
the guilty party because it took am
munition on board passenger steam
er in contravention of the American
laws"
After quoting the statute which 1t
argues covers this point, the Tag
lische Rundschau concludes:
According to American laws, the
captain of the Lusitania ought to go
to prison
De Bott says: America can not
make out a case. Germany is clearly
within her rights"

This is the great l4-inch rifle OF
the American super-dreadnaught Texas
with which William Ruef, star gunner
of the navy, made six hits of moving
target at distance of fourteen miles,
thereby breaking tho worlds record
of craftsmanship. He did this in re-
cent practice off the Virginia Capes,
and he is therefore a hero OF the
American fleet, assembled in the
Hudson river during the week when
the Lnsitana, with more than 100
Americans, was sunk.
The Texas carries ten of these
great rifles, the strongest in any navy
in the world, except those on the five

T IRE
At Log Cabin Restaurant We'd.
neSday Morning
Does Considerable Damage To
The Roof

A defective flue in the kitchen of
the Log Cabin restaurant at the south
west corner of the public square start
ed fire at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
morning which bade fair to consume
the entire building, owing to the dry
wood of which it is composed and the
papier mache ceiling which is used
to ornament the interior.
The fire had gotten good start be-
fore it was discovered and large
hole in the roof was burned from
which volumes of smoke poured out.
The fire department fastened to the
scene and within half hour had the
flames completely extinguished, de-
spite the thick smoke which filled the
entire building.
When a survey Of damage was
made, it was found that water had
done more than the flames them
selves. Two large holes were burned
in the rear roof of the building, while
Oh COllUuSIlDic uldlcTldl III tue kltCu-
en- was consumed. None of the sup
plies of the lunch counter were harm
ed at all. All of the furniture had
been removed from the restaurant, as
well as household effects of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Simpkins, who operate
the restaurant and reside there.
A large davenport was badly
soaked with water, as it was impos-
sible for the willing crowd of by
ISLANDERS to remove this from the
building in time. The damage, ac-
ccrdingly, is considered slight.
Mr.. Simpkins' insurance on his own
effects had run out only two days
ago, so whatever the loss is, it will
be total. The building, which is a
part of the Richard West estaote of
which Attorney w. A. Hosack is
trustee, was insured.
