OF LUSITANIA FATE
Music Hall Patrons Treated to
Musical Story of the Liners
Destruction.
by Cahle 70 The rrihnnc. !

London, Aug. 1.-The Morning
Posts" Amsterdam correspondent for
wards the text of a popular German
music hall song, "The Destruction of
the Lusitania," described as a march
ing song, by Rudolf Kuhn. The verses
tell the following tale:
She sailed for England from New
York, with contraband. She invited a
thousand to travel on board. but our
submarine smelled choice dish. The
Lusitania sailed merrily along the
criminals course, but our submarine
was on watch off Ireland's coast She
carried Americans. Englishmen, French
men Greeks and Dutchmen to a dance
Of death. The submarine hit true.
Those who were not suffocated were
drowned. Vanderbilt was among them
II is a pity that Minister Grey was not
there. too
After references TO complaints by
mermaids at being disturbed by so
many explosions and by vile gases
emitted by American ammunition, the
poem continues:
$50 there the dead lay, most of them
with their paws burnt, England's sons
and their companions. Oh, how quiet
they have become So join now in a
funeral song. Build submarines as
fast as possible and sink the enemy
into a cool grave, so that Germany may
have peace"
Each verse has a rousing chorus.

British Court Holds Extent OF
Military Service Warrants
Meat Seizures.

London, Aug. AT to-day's session
of the meat cargo cases before BRIT
ish prize court, Sir Frederick h. smith,
the Solicitor General, produced an al
fidavit made by Major Eric Dillon,
member of the General Staff, estimating
the persons serving in the German
army and under the control of German
military authority at 100000.
The statement was produced IN sup
mort of the Crowns contention that
persons employed in some OF the or
dinarily civilian occupations are now
in the service of the German govern
ment. and that, therefore. the food
stufFs seized by the British govern
ment really were intended for Ger
many's military forces. MAJOR Dlllon S
figures follow:
Under arms on two fronts, IN gar
risons in Belgium and on lines oil com
munications, 4,OOO,OOO.
In training in Germany, 100000.
Casualties, including constant tenn
porary wastage, 2,OOOOoo:
On railways, all of which are used
and organized specially for war and
are controlled by the military autnorl-
ties. 100000.
Al Krupp's arsenals and factories
and other arsenals and factories con-
cerned in the manufacture OF war mu-
nitions, 100000
In coal mines and in factories con-
cerned in making army boots, clothing
and other articles necessary IN the
equipment and provisioning of the
army. 100000.
Solicitor General Smith argued that
the German government reserved the
right to substitute rations Tor money
allowances to the wives and children OF
these men. Therefore. at the moderate
figure of two dependents for each Of
the 100000, there would be 10000
600 who might be dependent on the
state for rations, so that II would be
fair to assume that in all probability
the seized goods were intended for

Washington, Aug Rear Admiral
Caperton sent peace commission from
Port-au-Prince to Cape Haitien to-day
in an effort to get the cooperation of
the revolutionary generals Blot and
Bobo in the pacifoation of Hayti His
message to the Navy Department con-
tanned the information that he sent the
Jason.
"My instructions TO the commission"
he added, "are to require army in north
to disarm and dsband. soldiers to re-
turn to their homes, leaders Blot and
Bobo to return to Port-auPrince with
the commission and join conference to
promote order in Hayti."
officials believe this indicates that
the rear admiral has the situation in
hand and is in a position TO dictate
terms TO the revolutionists. His in
structions on leaving for Hayti were
to restore peace and ORDER" and the
means to be employed to this end were
left entirely to his discretion. The
Navy and State departments have APP
proved his course to date.
May Use Force on Rebels.
Although he did not say whether he
would go so far as to use force TO OBJ
tain the return of Bobo and Blot to
Port-au-Prince, Navy Department Off
Gals believe the rear admiral would
not hesitate TO do so if 1t were neces-
sary to carry out his plan of pacltica-
ton.
The Jason carries a large crew, and
il is presumed A detachment of marines
was also sent 10 assist the peace com
mission. The hospital ship Solace is
on its way to Hayti, following the bat
tleship Connecticut. The elaborate
preparations indicate that long cam
paign is ahead for the landing force.

partment earlier in the day said an at
tack had been made on the Wesleyan
Mission at Port-au-Prnce by mob,
which attempted 10 seize man who
had murdered a prisoner in the jail
"The commander of the cruiser
squadron, Rear Admiral Caperton, re-
ports from Port-au-Prince that the
city is being controlled without any
difficulty. While apparently every
thing is quiet and the Haytian soldiers
are said to he disarmng and turning in
their arms to the naval authorities, It
is believed that many arms are being
retained secretly
! "The Haytian soldiers apparently re-
tain their organization, although with
out arms. Daily Inspections are made
for arms, and whenever any are found
they are taken and placed in charge Of
the United States forces.
"The prices of provisions have great
" increased, and the poorer classes are
without food and many are suffering
