Twenty DIE IN
LAKE DISASTER
Steamer 5. R. Kirby First
Less of Season.


Founders Of Eagle Harbor as Result
of Heavy Seas Running on Lake Su-
perior and Only Two of the Crew
Are Picked Up.
Duluth, May 10-Twenty lives were
the toll of death in the first steamer
loss on the Great Yakes this season
when the steamer S. r. Kirby of the
Northwestern Transportation com.
pany of Detroit foundered off Eagle
harbor, 1874 miles from Duluth.
Only the second mate, Joseph Mu-
dra, and one other Of the crew were
saved
The boat broke in two and foun-
dered. Just what the cause was will
never be known, but it is supposed
that the stain Of fighting the heavy
seas that were running in the gale
that swept Lake Superior found a
weak spot. although the United States
inspectors Of hulls and boilers here
declared that the Kirby was inspected
this spring and found in good condi.
ton
The second mate was brought here
by the steamer Berwind, which brought
coal, and the steamer Joseph H. Block
picked up another of the crew and
proceeded down the lake with him.
The Berwind tried to rescue another
of the crew who was on a raft but
the man was so exhausted by the buf-
feting of the waves and by the cold
that he fell off the raft and was
drowned before aid could reach him.
The steamer Utley, which happened
along shortly after the laundering,
picked up the Kirby's consort, the
George E. Hartnell. and towed her
down the lake. She probably will be
taken to her destination in Lake Erie.

GERMANY GIVEN
ANOTHER CHANCE
United States Satisfied With
New Submarine Policy. = :
BRITISH CASE COVERED

imperial Government Informed That
Blockade Question Is an Entirely
Separate Issue and Will Not Be
Considered Jointly With U-Boat
Dispute
Washington, May 10.-President
Wilson's latest note to Germany is
brief and to the point Its main pro-
visions are:
First-America accepts the German
concessions as to submarines
Second America regards the Brit
ish blockade as an issue entirely apart
from the German U-boat question and
viii not deal with them Jointly.
In effect Germany Is placed on trial
regarding her pledges as to the safety
Of neutrals at sea. The note in full
follows:
THE note OF the imperial German
government under date Of May 4. 1916.
has received careful consideration by
the government OF the United States.
1T is especially noted as Indicating
the purpose Of the imperial govern
ment as to the future, that it is pre-
pared to do its utmost 10 conGne the
operation Of the war for the rest Of
its duration To the fighting forces Of
the belligcrente. and that II is de
termined 70 impose upon all its com
manders at sea the limitations Of the
recognized rules Of international law
upon which the government Of the
United States has insisted
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the imperial government
announced on Feb. 4, 1915. its subma-
rine policy now happily abandoned,
the government 0f the United States
has been constantly guided and re-
strained BY motives OF friendship In
its patient efforts 10 bring to an annie
able settlement the critical questions
arising from that policy
Places Reliance in Germany.
Accepting the imperial govern
of the policy which has so seriously
menaced the good relations between
the two countries the government Of
the United States viii rely upon a
scrupulous execution henceforth of the
now altered policy OF the imperial
government such as will remove the
principal danger to an interruption Of
the good relations existing between
the United States and Germany.
The government of the United
States feels il necessary TO state that
ii takes it for granted that the impe-
rial German government does not IN
tend to imply that the maintenance of
its newly announced policy Is in any
way contingent upon the course or re-
suit of diplomatic negotiations be
tween the government of the United
States and any other belligerent gov
eminent notwithstanding the fact
that certain passages in the imperial
| governments note Of the fourth in
stant might appear to be susceptible
Of that construction.
In order. however, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding the govern
ment of the United States notifies the
! imperial government that 1t cannot
for a moment entertain. much less dis
cuss, a suggestion that respect by
German naval authorities for the
rights Of citizens OF the United States
upon the high seas should in any way
or in the slightest degree be made con
tingent upon the conduct Of any other
government affecting the rights of neu-
trails and noncombatants.
Responsibility in such matters is
single, not Joint; absolute, not rela-
tive"

The pieces authorized at present are
