No Excuses
For Sinking
OF LuSitania

BERLIN, May 15.-Making no
excuses, other than that the Lusi-
tania showed no flag, the Ger
man admiralty has issued a state
ment telling of the blowing up of
the big liner last week.
The statement is based on re-
port from the submarine that
fired the fateful torpedo.
Only one torpedo was dis
charged, the statement says, and
the second explosion must have
come from inside the vessel.

= However, this criticism has had
NO effect on the men.
1t is probable that the military
emergency will assure them OF
victory.
The government fears other
workmen's strikes, as In gen
eral way the working class are
not enthused over the war.

Electra Raipe had very hard life.
Her mother died when she was ten. and
Electra. as the only remaining woman
of the household. was left to see that
her men folks We're fed and washed
and patched and mended- Besides her
father there were three older brothers
Her father was an all-around man IN

too good for the heTefuse heap and just
right for Raine to take home to his
hungry family. There were not many
nights in the week that Raine did not
come home laden. for he worked cheap,
and had to be paid somehow.
Electra staggered under the burden
of life for three or four years, then she
began to develop muscle and ability.
and reached the point where she
could wash, bake bread. go to school
and cook meals regularly without
being too tired to sleep. Strangely

school. She had a real love of knowl-
edge which must have been an inheri-
tance from some unknown ancestor. for
her mother had no learning and her
father and brothers never cared to
have any.
In time her three brothers left home.
Soon they had passed out of her life
completely. She let them go resigned

fore them. She was a woman-child, and
already she began to realize that wom-
en- mainly are tied like unruly fowls
by one leg to a post-they may flutter
and struggle toward freedom without
ever being free. One day a new horse
which her father was driving on the
delivery cart ran away and strewed the
street with groceries. Her father was
thrown out and hurt. He died of his
injuries and Electra was left alone.
She was sixteen and she was un-
skilled in the business of earning her
living. Yet she had to earn it. Her
