Says United States Is Lax

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Morning newspapers today make the Canadian parliament house fire the text for a discussion of alleged German outrages in America and the means for prevent ing them. The Chronicle in a sharply worded leading article says:
 Canada will doubtless redouble it's efforts to prevent German outrages within it's borders. It has hitherto stopped them with much more success than the United States, but it is unde- niably handicapped by the laXity of it's great neighbor. There is no ques- tion that long series of criminal plots has been and are being matched on United States soil. If the American government fails to protect it's own people against them that is it's own af- fair but when it's failure enables out rages of this magnitude to be carried out, a disregard of international neigh borly obligations arises.
 President Wilson who is sincerely desirous of checking lawlessness, has publicly intimated that the government was much hampered by the lack of ad- equate legal powers, which he thinks capable of being remeded. We hope that what has just happened at Ottawa may stimulate the legislators at Wash ington in the right direction"

LUSITANIA CASE
(Continued from Page One

Wilson probably is the only man who knows.
 The American government in recent communication to all the bel ligerents openly recognized the subma rine as a factor which has brought about a great change in naval war fare and which demands recognition in international law.
 President Wilson is not insensible that public opinion in Germany as elsewhere must be considered and that diplomatic negotiations have regard for that important factor. At the same time officials dislike the inti- nations that have come from Berlin that the points for which the Amer ican government is contending are purely technical and hair splitting and unnecessary of prosecution in view of Germany's concession of pc cuniary liability for the loss of Amer ican lives and her promise of future abstention from inhuman methods of submarine warfare.
 That is the reason given for the in- sistence of the state department upor 1 its original confident expectation

.ESPEE WORKS TO
 RETAIN CONTROL
 IT STEAM SHIPS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-TeStimony in support of it's application for permis-
 sion to continue control of it's Atlantic
 steamship lines was offered by the
 Southern Pacific railway company be- fore the interstate commerce commits sion here today. The application was made under provisions of the Panama canal act which give a railroad the right to operate a marine line under
 certain conditions.
 L. J. Spence, New York traffic direc- tor of the Southern Pacific, testified
 that if the railway was divorced from it's steamship lines it would be impos- sibe for the road to compete with all rail lines from the Pacific coast The
 Pana ma canal, with it's all water route,
 he said has reduced competition with all rail routes so that the real rivalry
 now is between the Panama lines and
 the combination rail and water routes, such as the Southern Pacific. He eX- plained that the all-rail lines could not fix q rate which would be as low as that charged for the rail and water route
 The witness asserted that since the war began his company had received
 many tempting offers either to sell or charter all or part of it's fleet. Had the steamers been chartered, he said, they would have paid for themselves in few trips
 MT. Spence declared that the steam CTS Yale and Harvard are operating between Los Angeles and San Francis
 co in direct competition with the Southern Pacific. These boats, he said, are generally understood to be owned and operated by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. If this is true, he thought it in direct viola tion of the statute. He cited as sim liar case the Chicago and Alton and
 the Savannah route. His contention was that the rails and water route should be continuous
 N w. Barrow. representing the New Orleans board of trade, said that city appeared neither to approve nor op- pose the Southern Pacific's application anG he asked the commission 10 ad- iourn the hearings to New Orleans. Reresentatives of Galveston, San Fran cisco and other cities opposed this
 move. The hearing will be resumed here tomorrow.

BUCKET SHOPS ARE
 HARD HIT IN OHIO
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 4.-OhiO's state banking department today closed twelve so-called bucket shops" in various parts of the state, arrested their managers on charges of violating the blue sky law. and operating fraud ulent securities agencies.
 Harry T. Hall, superintendent of the banking department, tonight estimated that each establishment closed today was doing enough business to net a daily profit of $3.000
 Half of the managers taken into GUS tcdy today were still in jail tonight because they were unable to furnish bonds, MT. Hall said.
 Scores of customers of the shops, caught in the raids. will be called as witnesses in the prosecution of the managers.

plains as well as make reparation for the loss of lives. In fact, the state department has expressly sought to avoid limiting it's demands upon the German government to the loss of American life on the Lusitania. It has insisted that these contentious ! are irrelavent to the question of the i legality of the methods used by the i German naval authorities in sinking ] the vessel
 i In the Lusitania note dated June g. 1915, Secretary Lansing declared that he was contendng not only for the mere property rights of the United States, but for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of hu- manity" Therefore, his objections to the methods of German submarine warfare were in the interest of all neutrals and all non combatants as well, even of belligerent nations. He expressly denounced as unparalleled in modern warfare the sinking of a great passenger steamer ''c-rrying more than a thousand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war without so much as a challenge or a warning
 1 It may be stated upon authority that it is upon this broad ground that the United States government stands today and it is believed that is why it has been refusing to ac- icept any settlement that involves departure from or surrender of this principle. In measure Germany recognized this position when she consented to eliminate the proposed reservation of any admission of wrong doing by her submarine com mander for his act in torpedoing an enemy ship carrying munitions.
 Count VOn BernstOrff indicated he thought it would not be necessary for him to see Secretary Lansing again on the subject.
 His visit today was strictly for nal, lasting less than five minutes. It was evident that the ambassador simply delivered the message from his government and that Secretary Lansing scarcely did more than ac- cept it for submission to President Wilson.
 The president is just home from his western speaking trip and con fronted with many waiting affairs is understood to have gone over the situation with the secretary only briefly. Tonight he was engaged at

Question Where 1t Beoan

BERLIN, (Via London) Feb A. Theodor Wolff, editor in chief of the Berliner Tageblatt. in a long leading article today comments on the Ger man. American situation. The tone of the article. although restrained. is firm
 Many persons" says Herr Wolff, had long believed the Lusitania mat ter settled. but one must unfortu- nately say that it has become rather critical. Following the long oral and written negotiations the question is back where it began, namely in the demands of the first American note that Germany indemnify the Lusi- tania victims, not voluntarily but as an admission that the torpedoing of the vessel was illegal"
 Herr Wolff refers to the argu- ments in the case advanced by Ber- lin and Washington, and then says:
 One gets no further with these juristic arguments and it is not proper nor in view of the situation, pos sible to twist about the circle any llonger Germany must carry out the war to a victorious end and has a right to demand that everything necessary to hasten this end be done The chancellor has to decide the course on the basis of information (which is unknown to the public He certainly will not let himself he mis- 1 led by the cry of those who think a breach of relations would mean a grave danger.
 i "He knows better than others whether despite the peaceful and quiet attitude of a part of the Amer iican congress the American govern ment is decided upon hostile actions" 1 In conclusion Herr Wolff says: i We all wish the quickest and complete victory possible, and peace in which the German people can heal their wounds and restore their pros perity. If decisive step is now to be taken in the Lusitania conflict, one must consider quietly and dispas- SiOnately and to the furtherest end of the way where this step can lead us"

MUST DISCHARGE cARGoEs
Fooos Suspected of German Destina ton Must Be Removed from Ships
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Feb. 5.-For some time past British authorities have been al lowing vessels carrying goods sus- pected of German destination to pro ceed to Danish ports under d guar antee to return suspected parts of their cargo later. This arrangement has now been stopped, according to Copenhagen dispatches. owing to the fact that the steamship Kiev. which was permitted to continue her voy- age under these conditions was seized hy a German warship and taken to Swinemunde where she was compelled to discharge shipments of coffee and cocoa destined for Germany
 The British authorities will now de- mand that all such goods be immedi- ately unlCaded at British ports The Danish steamers Bagman and Cal;- fOrnia are now being detained with this decision.
