MAN WHO SWORE SHIP
WAS ARMED LOCATED

Washington, June 10.--After a
vigorous investigation conducted by
the chief of the department of justice
secret service, A. Bruce Bielaski, the
government has succeeded in locating
Gustaye Gtahle. author OF the princi-
pal affidavit filed by the German
Government in support of its conten-
ton that the Lusitania was an armed
vessel
Bielaski reported to the department
today that he had located Stable and
instructions were given Immediately
that the German be examined and
kept under scrutiny with the view Of
determining the authenticity and re-
liability of the affidavits which he
furnished to the German Government
Tt was understood today that the in
quiry being made by the department
Of justice at the instance OF the State
department was designed primarily
to apply the acid test to the statement
that the Lusitania was armed. liz made
ostensibly to ascertain II the laws of
the United States respecting con-
spiracy against the government have
been violated.

originating with themselves. The
note does not indict Germany; it
makes 1t necessary for Germany to
meet our conditions or indict herself
The voice of the nation speaks in
this note. The President represents
the nation and is its spokesman. Mr..
Bryan also has note, but Mr.. Bryan
is not the man TO whom the people
look for leadership in this affair. He
may hold his private opinion, but that
opinion Ia not an official utterance,
and cannot be considered as In any
way affecting tsne present issue ne
tween us and Germany. While 1t is
good statement of general principles
II does not ut the present situation.
But we would have overlooked the
most significant part of the present
note If we did not call attention to the
most fundamental contention in IT:
that contention is that the Lusitania
incident is lifted out of the realm of
ordinary international intercourse and
must be settled on the high principles
of human justice. because It was a
most inhuman injustice. There lies
the difference between the Bryan and
the Wilson position. The President
refuses to consider this as merely an
incident OF war. He conceives II as
do the people. as eliminating
atrocity which cannot be treated TN an
ordinary manner because it is an ex-
traordinary outcome of an extraordi-
nary mode of warfare which denies
all ordinary rights, and must. there.

dress and reform. The ear of the
world has caught the tune, let Ger

The second note 10 Germany re-
fterates the original demand OF the
Cnited states that Germany respect
the high principles Of humanity and
discard her system of inhuman war
fare on noncomhatants. II accepts
khe German statement of the Gulf
light case as representing Germany's
interest with regard 20 unarmed ships
and neutral rights. and specifically an
Inmates that this government expects
the German government 10 acquiesce
In the view of the United States and
agree to the conditions laid down in
our original note.
So far as the ad interim note OF the
German government is concerned 1t Is
merely asserted In a manner that can
not fail to be severe rebuke. that
this government knows Its business
ana was fully cognizant of all the
facts before 1t brought the Lusitania
incident before the world.
Our note has four distinct divisions:
first, we give Germany credit for a
desire to abide by the law. Second.
we firmly deny the alleged facts crted
in Germanys note. Third, we de-
mand that our original request be
complied with and that henceforth the
German war be carried on in accord
ance with principles OF humanity. and
Germanys own code of naval warfare
Mt the outbreak OF the war. Finally.
we renew our offer of good Office be-
tween the beliigerents on any subject
they may desire lis to take up. This.

not undertake to biudgeon England
for Germany nor Germany for Eng
land. but win transmit any messages

while we are In the midst OF college
comnencements we are reminded
forclbiy OF the truth of our slogan by
reason of the fact that the absence
OF students from occasions especially

While we have the highest regard
for our educational system as a whole,
we feel fairly confident that there are.
other schools in the country besides
the Annapolis Naval Academy, where
a probe into conditions would reveal
a parallel state of affairs. This does
not detract from the Annapolis scan
dial any more than the fact that there
are more than three murderers de-
tracts from the Nervousness of each
individual crime. The point in the
Annapolis situation Is that it is a gov
eminent school In which the whole
country has an interest. Its being
government school also makes us feel
that the standard Of honor there
should be higher than it is elsewhere
The Annapolis situation is there
fore a scandal. We trust that it will
be sifted to the bottom and If 1t
is necessary to reorganize the whole
system for the restoration of honor
on examinations, let us reorganize 1t
and go out to reform the others, If.
others there be in need of reform.
