| GERMANY'S VIEW
GERMAN OFFICIAL RE

GERMAN OFFICIAL RE-
PORT, MAY \. - The Cunard
liner Lusitania was yesterday
torpedoed by Il German subma-
rine and sank.
The Lusitania was naturally
armed with guns, az were recent
ly most of the English mercantile
steamers.
Moreover, as Is we'll known
here, she had large quantities
of war material in her cargo. Her
owners. therefore, knew to what
danger the passengers were ex-
posed.
They alone bear all the respon-
sibility for what has happened.
Germany on her part, left
nothing undone 10 repeatedly
and strongly warn them.
The imperial ambassador in
Washington even went so far as
TO make a public warning.
FRANKFURTER ZEITU No. -
For the German navy the sinking
of the Lusitania means an ex-
traordinary success.
The whole world was warned
that he who ventured to trust
himself within her staked his life.

THE AMERICAN NOTE OF

.NoiE VI
MAY 13 to Germany, written by
President Wilson and signed by
Bryan, az secretary OF state:
I'm view of the recent acts of
the German authorities in viola
tion of American rights on the
high seas. which eliminated in
the torpedoing and sinking the
British steamship Lusitania
on May Z, by which over 100
American citizens lost their lives,
II is clearly wise and desirable
that the government of the
United States and the i'm
perial German government should
come to a clear and full under
standing as to the grave situation
which has resulted The
government and people of the
United States look to the imperial
German government for just,
prompt enlightened action in this
vital matter with the greater con-
fidence, because the United States
and Germany are bound together
not only by special ties of friend
ship, but also by the explicit
stipulations of the treaty of
1928, between the United States
and the kingdom OF Prussia
The imperial German
government will not expect the
government of the United States
to omit any word or act necessary
to the performance of it's sacred
duty of maintaining the rights of
the United States and its citizens
and of safeguarding their free ex-
ercise and enjoyment.

The troops fought desperately
yesterday and throughout the
night.
They were still fighting when
the statement was Issued.
Preceding the advance, massed
batteries of big guns blasted the
French trenches into debris.
A rain of gas projectiles fol-
lowed, suffocating the survivors

Last night the Germans deter
minedly attacked the positions on
the north side OF the hill and
succeeded in crossing the area
between the trenches. Reaching
the French pits in the woods,
they were repulsed after bloody
hand-to-hand fighting.
Fresh German divisions partici-
pated in the assault and suffered
crushing losses.

Psychologically the greatest
blunder of German diplomacy in
America was the sinking of the
Lusitania.
1t was the first time that Amer
leans and English had suffered in
common since they were opposed
to one another in the War of In
dependence, and it cemented the
clanship.
On the part of the Germans it
was a mercantile trick to paralyze
our sea going commerce; they
warned Americans to obey their
in functions or to sail at their own
risk; they only succeeded in wash
ing out the scars of 1888 in the
waters Of the Atlantic. Nine

ENGLAND'S VIEW

The official British view of
Germany's justification for sink
ing the Lusitania: with regard
to the Lusitania: The vessel was
not armed on her last voyage,
and had not been armed during
the whole war.
Germany attempts to justify the
sinking Of the Lusitania by the
fact that she had arms and am
munition on board.
The presence of contraband on
board a neutral vessel does render
her liable to capture, but certainly
not to destruction, with the loss
Of large portion of her crew and
passengers.
Every enemy vessel Is a fair
prize, but there is no legal pro-
vosion, not to speak of the prin-
ciples of humanity, which would
justify what can only be de-
scribed as murder because a ves-
sci carries contraband.
SIR EDWARD CARSON, THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL: I'VE
have ample evidence to disprove
the German lie that the Lusi-
tania was armed. The sinking
of the Lusitania was murder"
