EXPLAIN. ATTITUDE ON
 SINKING OF LUSITANIA

Tt is further known to the imperial government. from trustworthy reports from it's agents and neutral passengers, that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable British merchant men have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons and manned with persons who have been spe- cially trained in serving guns The Lus- tana, too, according to information re- ceived here, had cannon aboard which were mounted and concealed below decks
 sThe imperial government further, has the honor to direct the particular at tention of the American gov ernment to the fact that the British admiralty, in a confidential instruction. issued in F'ebru- ary, 1915, recommended it's mercantil 2 shipping only to seek protection under reutral flags and distinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised to attack German submarines by ramming. As a special incitation to merchantmen to de- stroy submarines, the British government also offered high prizes and had already paid such rewards
 'The imperial government, in view of these facts. indubitably known to it. is unable to regard British merchantmen in the zone of naval operations specified by the admiralty staff of the German navy as 'undefended.' German comman- ders consequently are no longer able to observe the customary regulations of the prize law, which they before always fol- lowed

RUSSIAN REVIEW OF
 THE WAR SITUATION

petrograd, May 30.-(Via London, l.22 D. m.)-The following official ac- count of recent military operations mas been issued from the headquarters of
 the Russian general staff:
 "The object of the prodigious efforts made by the enemy in the last few days has been the encirc1lng of Frzemysl. The desperate fighting on the San was interrupted on May 20 and the four following days were oc- to change the direction of his offensive from the northeast to the southeast. Between Sieniawa and Jaroslau Ia bridges were constructed.
 While the enemy was changing his front the whole mass of the enemy of all arms was transferred to the west which led to the supposition that ths Germans were beginning a retreat but
 on the morning of the 24th General Mackenzen began to hurl his army against our positions between the Rivers Ludaczow and San. Concurrent- " hundreds of thousands of infantry supported by a thousand guns of vari- ous calibres. we'll supplied with am intuition. attacked our trenches on the left bank of the San in the direction of Radymno and Drogobitch on a front o4 15 miles.
 General Mackenzen, in endeavorine to turn our line at Przemsyl is repeat i ing the maneuver which he practiced d. the beginning of November in front 1, of Lodzs, when his army broke into our lines near Strakow and Brzesiny while at the same time an attempt was made to turn us with his left flank.

ALLOWED PASSENGERS TIME TO ESCAPE

When sinking the British steamer Falaba, the commander of the German submarine had the intention of allow ing the passengers and crew a full opportunity for safe escape. Only when the master did not obey the order to heave-to, but fled and summoned help by rocket signals did the German commander order the crew and passen- gers by signals and megaphone to leave the ship within 10 minutes. He actually allowed them 23 minutes time and fired the torpedo only when suspicious craft were hastening to the assistance of the Falaba.
 Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steam CT Lusitania, the German government has already expressed to the neutal gov ernments concerned its keen regret that

 "The British shipping company must
 have been aware of the danger to which

The com rany in embarking them, notwithstanding this attempted deliberately to use the lives of American citizens as protection for the ammunition aboard and acted against the clear provisions of the Ameri- can law, which expressly prohibits the forwarding of passengers on ships carry

 wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers.

London, May 3o.-(10 D. m)--Around the great fortress of Przemysl a mighty battle is still raging. The Austro-Ger- man armies are making supreme ef- fort to cut off the stronghold and free these armies for operations against Italy and the allies in the west ! Although great human sacrifices are being made, progress latterly has been extremely slow as the Russians have had time to bring up large reinforce ments.
 North of Przemysl the Russians ap- pear to be more than holding their own but to the southeast the Austrians and Germans claim further headway and now command with their artillery the which runs just south of the main line between Przemysl and Lemberg. From Lemberg the Russians draw a large portion of their endorsements and supplies.
 Battle Undecided
 The battle is still undecided and hopes run high in the allied camps that the Russians can hold their lines until the advance of the Italians and the strengthing of the Anglo French armies compel the Germans to withdraw part of their armies from Galicia.
