Not a Question Of Necessity.

The question of foodstuffs and raw
not a question of necessity for Ger
many. but one of principle. Germany
has shown. / think. that it cannot be
starved out by Great Britain's embargo
on foodstuffs. We may be a little
| short of some or another particular
food product. but we have enough to
live on and keep UP the struggle.
The same fe true of raw materials
with which. according to the London
declaration. belligerents have no right
| to interfere when they are not specif1-
| caIly destined for the armed forces Of
| an enemy Germany is able 10 get
| along. even n the imports of such ma
| terials are cut OF. Germany, however.
| objects to the cool assumption OF the
| British cabinet that when IL is unable
| to defeat the German armies Iegiti-
mately on the battlefield, it is entitled
| to try to force the nation to its knees
1 by economic pressure. disregarding all
| accepted precepts and regulations of
\ war.
The analogy of the besieged fortress
does not apply to Germany. The resi-
| dent who settles in a fortress does so
| cognizant of the risk and aware that
| he can leave before the siege begins
| but there is no precedent for the siege

Repeating Lodz Maneuver.

Gen. Mackensen, IN endeavorfng to
turn our limo at Peremysl. is repeat
ing the maneuvers which he prao.
ticed at the beginning Of November
in front Of Lodx. when his army broke
our lines near Strykow and Brzesiny
while at the same time an attempt
was made to turn us with hts left
flank. The same maneuver is being
not with isolated corps. but with en-
tire armies, which thanks to their
size, are slower moving. Gen.> Ma cken-
sens maneuver still is Incomplete, al
though some Of his infantry regiments
already have lost three-quarters OF
their effectiveness.
Austro-German armies which were
to have met Gen. Mackensen and turn J.
ed Peremysl from the south have been
wiped out near Gousskow in a vain at.
Irmanoff, the hero of Port Arthur,
crushed the garrison of Laisseco be-
hind Mackensens army on the Little
Seniawa. seizing trophies and cattle In
tended for the revictua1ing OF troops
directed against Peremysl.
Tn spite of the enemy's tremendous
losses, which since May 20 alone have
amounted to hundreds of thousands, il
would be premature to speak of the
result Of this battle, which Is of ex-
trdOrdlnary intensity.
'Austro-German communications in
April said the Sd Caucasian Corps
had been entirely annihilated on the
Wisloks Yet the same corps captured
fourteen cannon and 1000 prisoners al
Seniawa."
Artillery Fire Terrific.
The extraordinary expenditure of am
munition by the Germans in the fight
ing between Gorlice and the Donajec
is described in an official note issued
tonight This shows that 1900 guns
were employed. mostly heavy pieces OF
medium caliber and 42-centimeter
howitzers.
During a four hour bomba rdment OH
one occasion the Germans discharged
about 100000 projectiles. according to
the statement, or double the quantity
necessary for a six-month siege of a
great and well provisioned fortress.
Another similar quantity, intended for
the development of the German Of
hausted by May 10. when the first
slackening of Gen. Mackensen's on
slaught became apparent.
Men stupefied by Fire.
Generally speaking" says the note.
the enemy uses in an attack ten
projectiles of medium caliber, weigh
ing over 500 pounds. against each OF
our riflemen holding a space of about
one yard on the front of our trenches.
During Gen. Mackensef's advance from
Gorlice to Naklo, northeast OF Pere-
mysl, an officer holding responsible
position received within a short space
of time on his front about 10000
bombs. In the presence of such a fire,
without considering the serious losses,
all the men within the sphere of its
action became more or less stupefled."
The note. in conclusion. points out
that it will be Impossible for the Ger
man factories to continue to maintain
such lavish expenditures of ammuni-
ton, and that the German infantry,
spoiled by the support of the artillery
and accustomed exclusively to attack
men stupefled or poisoned. therefore
soon will have to fight under very diff
ferent conditions"

Unable to Speak Definitely.

The minister was unwilling to give a
more definite outline to or to comment
on the suggestion that an Arrangement
might be reached on a basis of an In
spection and certifcation by the
American government of passenger
ships not carrying war cargoes, point
ing out that he did not feel entitled
to anticipate, as the other departments
of the government must be heard be-
fore suggestions could be definitely
taken up or discussed.
DIR. Won JagoW expressed pleasure at
the newspaper announcement that
American line steamers were not carry
ing contraband. but he suggested the
advisability of supplementing such
newspaper statements by more def
mite authoritative announcements.
Replying TO question DR.. Won ia
gov said that Germany at the outset
had been willing to abandon her sub
marine war against merchantmen in
response to return by Great Britain
to tho regulations of war regarding
contraband generally accepted before
tho war, the specific condition being the
lifting Of the embargo on foodstuffs
and raw materials now on the list of
conditional contraband. It was not

plains kaiser's Position in
the lusitania Case.
ESSENTIAL TO ESTABLISH
"C0MMON BASIS OF FACT"
Herr Won Jagow Trusts the Ameri-
can Government Will Take
Same View.

BERLIN, May 80. via London, May 81,
$3.50 a-m.-Germany withholds its final
decision on the demands advanced by
tho United States government in oon-
neotion with the sinking of the Lusi-
tania until the receipt Of an answer
from the United States to the note
which Herr Won Jagow, the foreign
minister. has delivered to Ambassador
Gerard in reply to the American note
received by the German government
May 10.
In It's reply the German government
declares that it is not its intention to
submit neutral ships in the war zone,
which are guilty Of no hostile acts, to
attacks by submarines or aeroplanes;
that 1t is investigating the circum-
stances in connection with the attacks
on the American steamers Cushing and
Gulflight. and that in all cases where
neutral vessels. through no fault Of
their own, have been damaged Cor
many will pay naturalization.
The reply urges that in the case of
the Lusitania, which Germany alleges
was armed and carried large stores of
war munitions. it was acting in justi-
fed self-defense in seeking with all
the means OF warfare at it's disposition
to protect the lives of it's soldiers by
destroying ammunition intended for
the enemy"
The German government recalls the
proposals submitted by the United
States government to Berlin and Lon
don. designed to end the submarine
warfare and the shutting out of food
supplies from Germany, which, it de-
clares. failed of their purpose because
of the refusal of the British govern
ment to agree to them. The text Of
the German note was made public
today.
Foreign Minister Explains.
Gottlieb Won Jagow. the imperial Ger
man foreign secretary. today received
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press. and outlined the reasons which
impelled the German government to
send an ad interim note to the United
states government instead Of Anal
and definite reply to the American rep
resentations regarding the Lusitania
and other ships that have been tor
pedosd. and Germany's submarine
policy.
The issues involved" said Herr Won
Jagow, are Of such Importance. and
the views In regard to the Lusitanta
show such variance. that the German
government believed it essential to At
tempt to establish a common basis Of
Ooio1o eHteFin8 INTO discussion
of the issues involved
We hope and trust that the Ameri-
can government will take the same
view OF the case and let US know in
what points the understanding of the
racts diner from the German view
point as set forth in the note, and in
what points thoy agree. before looking
for direct answer to their communi-
cation.
The American note, Of course, leaves
the way open for preliminary discus
sion of the situation as suggested In
the German note. / hope that such a
common basis of fact, once established
may serve as the groundwork for fur
