Washington, May 10.-While Off

Wilson as to what will be the policy
of the United States in the crisis re-
sulting from the sinking of the Lus'-
tania, Count Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, called at the state de-

deep regret that the events OF war
had led to the loss Of so many Amerl'

The ambassador did not comment
upon his visit, but Secretary Bryan
said he understood the expression OF

BLAMES RESULT ON ENG
LANDS POLICY TO STARVE
CIVILIAN POPULATION OF
FATHERLAND.
SENDS A FORMAL MESSAGE
Declares Americans Put Too
Much Faith in British
Promises.

Berlin, via London, May 10.--The
German foreign office today sent to
the German embassy at Washington
he following message:
please communicate the following
to the state department.: The Ger
man government expresses the deep
est sympathy at loss of lives aboard
the Lusilania The responsibility,
rests, however, with the British gov
ernment, which, through its plan of
Starving the civilian population of
Germany, has forced Germany to re-
sort to retaiiatory measures.
RIames It on England.
''ln spite of the German offer to
stop submarine war il the starvation
plan was given up. the British mer-
chantmen being generally armed,
have repeatedly tried to ram the sub
marines, SO that previous search is
impossible.
"They cannot. therefore, be treated
as ordinary merchantmen. A recen:
declaration to the British parliament
by the parliamentary secretary an
swering to. a question by Lord Beres-
ford said, at present practically all
the British merchantmen are armed
and provided with hand srenades.
Cargo Was Contraband. :
Besides, it has been openly admit
ted by the English that the .usitania
n previous trips repeatedly carried
arge quantities Of war material On
he present voyage, the Lusitania car
ried 5,400 cases Of ammunition and
the rest OF her cargo was chiefly con-
traband 3y%SE MI .,>.
''If England, after repeated and Off
cial warnings considered herself able
to declare the boat ran no risk thus
light-heartedly assumed responsibility
for human life aboard the steamer,
which, owing to armament and cargo,
was liable to destruction. Germany.
despite heartfelt sympathy for the
loss of American lives, cannot but re-
gret that Americans felt more inclined
to trust to English promises rather
than to pay attention to the warnings
from the German side.

audience without hesitation read the
application in his statement ,-..
Urges Loyalty.
He was introduced by Mayor Blank

forward his idea of welding Of foreign
blood in the makeup of America by
pointing out the true goal of the right
of American citizenship to be loyal
not to the country Of ones birth, but
to the land of ones adoption.
"While you bring" he said, "all
countries with you, you come with the
purpose of leaving all other countries
behind-and bringing what is best OF
their spirit but not looking over your
shoulder or seeking to perpetuate
what you leave in them. s.E-

he finished his speech and returned
to his private car, due to arrive in

words of Charles Ffohman before
he went down with the Lusitania,

he was calmly talking just before
the end came.
Miss JoIivet, who was among
the survivors taken to Queens

were standing on deck as the Lus-
itania heeled over. They decid-
ed not to trust themsass.:s to life
