AUSTRIAN AIRMEN
RAID ITALIAN PORTS
Bombs Kill Boy at Bari and
Wound Two Persons at
BrindiSi.

Rome, June 1. via Paris) Austrian
aeroplaues have dropped bombs on
Bari and Briudisi. seaports on tho
Adriat.c in Southern Italy According
20 an official statement a boy Of fifteen
was killed at Bari and two persons
were wounded at Brindlsi
Exultaton is general in Rome over
the Italian air raid on Pola and the
amount Of damage done. as Pola IA the
greatest military port Of Austria, is the
centre Of the railways Of lstria and has
great natural defeuces and fortified
tions. The fact that an Italian alrshlp
was able 10 damage the arsenal, the
railway station and other structures
is taken as proof that the Austrian
fleet, now at that port, is not entirely
safe.
There Is no disposition here, how
ever, 10 cxaggerate the successes won
so far by the Italian arms, and the
newspapers are cautioning the people
against thinking that the Austrians

sistauce behind the defences which they
have prepared.

Italian squadron has arrived al Porto

Questions OF Sea Law
at Issue, SAYS London

London, June 1.-THE German note
IN reply % the communication Of the
United States concerning the Lusi-
tania Is q document Of great import
ance IN the evolution Of sea law, and
It raises questions the substance Of
which concerns US all,' says The
Westminster Gazette"
The newspaper makes the point that
previous to this war i was an unques-
toned principle that bcilgereut who
seized an enemy merchantmen was re
spousible for the safety Of uon-com
batants, whether passengers or crew.
In an extreme case, whore for his own
safety the belligereut sank the vessel
he was under obligation 10 provide for
the passengers and crew.
IN the early stages OF the war"
"The Gazette" continues, I'VE saw this
obligation honorably Acknowledged by
the captains Of the Emdca and other
German cruisers The American note
stands for this principle The German
reply argues that danger from % sus-
picious craft is reason for the sinking
Of q vessel so quickly that her crew
and her passengers are unable TO es-
cape.
Originally Germany said that all
neutrals entering the war zone would
be liable 10 destruction; now she says
she has no intention Of attacking neu-
trails who are not guilty OF hostile acts.
II is evident that what IS az stake is
not question Of fact. but ii principle;
all facts Of consequence are admitted
in the reply"

GERMAN PLEA TO WILSON
independence Union Begs Him
to Hear Kaiser's Side of Case.

An appeal 10 President Wilson to
hear Germauy's side IN the present
crisis before this country engages in
host.Iit.ea was sent yesterday by the
executive committee Of the American
Independence Union, Of which Herman
Rlddcr d, honorary president.
We feel that the greatest danger
which threatens Us at the present time
Is the violation Of that neutrality which
you have so solemnly enjoined on our
nation a. the outbreak of the war"
reads the message. There are two
sides TO the great question now agi-
Eating our country, and it "a oily the
one party that has full opportunity OF
presenting its side OF the case. The
testimony so far is ex parte testimony,
and under these circumstances 1t Is
wise 20 defer the verdict.
in these troubled times we should
assure the President Of the United
States OF our unhesitating and unh.nch-
ing loyalty. But at the same time We
would make known 20 you that our
hearts are trembling with anxiety lest
under the pressure Of subtle but al
most irresistible alien influences our
country may stray from the course OF
strict neutrality and instead Of work
ing for peace only add more fuel TO
the awful couhagration."
