As to German Reply

The note sets aside as irrelevant all
the contentious of the German reply OF
last Saturday, except one-whether the
Lusitania was armed-and re-states
the position taken by the United States
previously that the Lusitania after Of
fetal investigation by competent in
spectors sailed from an American port
with no guns aboard. either mounted
or unmounted 1t further calls Ger
many's attention to the fact that the
Lusitania did not attempt any resist
ance, being torpedoed without mo-
ment'S warning.
GulfIight Communication
The arrival of a communication from
the German government today express
ing regret for the attack on the Amer
lean steamer Gulfight, offering to pay
indemnity as soon as a claim is pre-
scented and details arranged and max
ing further promise to take into con-
sideration any facts which the United
States may have on the dropping of
bombs by German airmen upon the
American steamer Gushing, made I'M
necessary any discussion of these
cases in the new note to Germany. The
United States had not, for that mat
ter. been disposed to discuss in the
new note any Of these cases. When the
principles of the main issues, the sub
marine warfare on merchant ships
are settled, the Lusitania and Falaba
ceses, in which more than 100 Amer
leans lost their lives. will be taken up.
Cabinet Meeting
Secretary Bryan had a private confer
ence with President Wilson before the
cabinet meeting began. Counsellor Lam
sing, who had prepared some Of the
memoranda on which the new note is
based, was invited by the President to
sit at the table and advise on points Of
international law which might arise.
The meeting lasted two hours and at
it's conclusion all the members, it was
said, had agreed to the principle set
forth in the note. 1t was stated that the
sending to Emperor William by Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
of Meyer Gerhard, an attache of the
German colonial office. as special envoy
to carry messages from the embassy
and to outline the American point or
view to the government at Berlin, would
not delay the dispatch of the American
note.
In German quarters here. however. IL
is expected that the reply win be with
held until Gerard has arrived and ex
planned the situation. This it is estimat
ed will take at least fortnight. as
the boat on which the envoy sailed
would not bring him to Denmark much
sooner.

unfortunate Accident"


Upon scrutiny of the time and occur
renee described, the German government
has become convinced that the attacked
ship was actually the American steam
ship Gultlieht. There can be no doubt,
according to the attendant circumstances,
that the attack is to be attributed to an
unfortunate accident and not to the
fault of the commander. The German
government expresses it's regrets to the
government of the United States con-
corning this incident and declares itself
damage thereby sustained by American
citizens 1t is left to the discretion OF
the American government to present a
statement of this damage or, if doubts
may arise over individual points, to des-
ignate an expert who would have to de-
terminc, together with German expert,
the amount of the damage.
1T has not been possible by means OF
an inquiry to clear up fully the case of
the American ship Gushing. Official re-
ports available report only one merchant
steamship attacked by a German flying
machine in the vicinity of Nordhind
lightship The German aviator was
forced to consider the vessel as hostile
because it carried no flag. and further.
because of no recognizable neutral mark
ings. The attack of four bombs was Of
course not aimed at any American ship.
However, that the ship attacked was the
American steamer Gushing is possible,
considering the time and place Of the
occurrence nevertheless the German gov
eminent accordingly requests of the
American government that it communi-
cate to the German government the ma
terial which was submitted for Judgment
in order that with this as basis a fur
Their position can .be taken in the matter.
The undersigned leave it to the am
bassador to bring the foregoing to the
immediate attention of his government
and takes this opportunity to renew to
him the assurance of his most distin-
guished consideration
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-06-05

er Gulflight, the commander Of Ger
man submarine saw on the afternoon OF
May list in the vicinity of the Scilly ISL
aads a large merchant steamer coming
in his direction, which was accompanied
by two smaller vessels. These latter
took such position in relation to the
steamer that they formed regulation
safeguard against submarines; moreover.
one of them had a wireless apparatus,
which is not usual with small vessels.
From this it evidently was case of
Englis;, convoy vessels. Since such yes
sells are regularly armed, the submarine
could not approach the steamer on the
surface of the water without running
the danger of destruction. 1t was, on
the other hand, to be assumed that the
steamer was of considerable value to
the British government, since it was so
guarded. The commander could see no
neutral markings on it Of any kind-that
is, distinctive marks painted on the free
board recoenizable at a distance, such as
are now usual on neutral ships in the
English zone of naval warfare. In con-
sequence he arrived at the conclusion
from all the circumstances that he had
to deal with an English steamer, sub
merged and attacked. The torpedo came
in the immediate neighborhood of one of
the convoy ships which at once rapidly
approached the point of firing so that the
submarine was forced to go to a great
depth to avoid being rammed; the con-
clusion of the commander that an Eng
lish convoy ship was concerned was in
this way confirmed. That the attacked
steamer carried the American flag was
first observed at the moment of firing
the shot. The fact that the steamship
was pursuing course which led neither
to nor from America was further rea-
son WHY it did not occur to the com
mander of the submarine that he was
dealing with an America ship.
