MEMORIAL OF
THE LUS|TAN|A
Hundreds Met Death Bravely
ON IIl-fated Steamer.
CUNARD LINER TORPEDOED
Sinking OF the Big Liner Was Pre-
naeditated, Is Opinion OF Many.
The American Rights Commit
tee Abandons the Memorial.


New York. Sunday was the first an
niyersary of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania. On May Z, 1915, the enormous
Cunard liner was plowing through the
sea in broad daylight off Old Head of
Kinsela, Ireland, when the German
submarine U-39. without any attempt
at warning, sent two torpedoes into
her. Fifteen minutes later the vessel
disappeared. carrying to their death
1,216 persons, of whom 107 were Amer
leans and $50 babies and small chill
dren.
The submarine made no attempt at
rescue.
The Americans killed included many
persons of note Charles Frohman.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Lindon Bates, Jr.,
Justus M. Forman, Elbert Hubbard and
wife, Capt. ]. B. Miller, Herbert G..
Stone, DR.. F. S. Pearson, Charles Klein
and Lothrop Wilmington.
In the year since then the Germans
have killed several score other Ameri-
cans by torpedoing passenger vessels,
but has given no satisfactory apology
and disavowal of the Lusitania's de-
struction.
Sinking Premeditated.
The Lusitania sinking was premed-
itated, for many of the passengers had
received warnings not to sail on her
before she left New York. An adver-
%;eovo .,,+ ;,n;v,c, ci,,,iIo, xyo IN
was inserted in American newspapers
by the German Embassy at Washing
ton.
The British Admiralty has been
criticised for not protecting the vessel
more adequately Although the Lusi-
tania carried 1000 persons and was
worth with her burden $10,OOO,O0 she
was steaming at only Is knots through
the danger zone when attacked
The Lusitania took on such great
list a few moments after the second
torpedo struck that many of her life
boats could not be launched. This in
creased the loss of life.
Capt w. T. Turner went down on
the bridge of his ship, but was picked
up alive after swimming four hours.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was last seen when
he started down companionway, say
ing: Lets so down and see if there
are any kiddies left"
Drowned Hunting Children.
Mr.. Bates also was drowned while
searching for children after he had
met DR.. and Mrs. F. Warren Pearl, Of
New York City, desperately striving to
find two of their four little ones.
Mr.. Frohman, lame and i'll, did not
try to escape. He said to a woman
who lived to tell it:
"Why fear death? 1t is the most
beautiful adventure in life!"

Moreover, the German people know
to what considerable extent their
enemies are supplied with all kinds of

1T will, therefore, be understood

ments Of humanity and principles OF

sponse from the German people which
such an appeal otherwise always is GER
tain to find here II the German Gov

friendship connecting the two great
nations for over 100 years but also by

"The German Government, con-
scious Of Germany's strength, twice
within the last few months announced
/ before the world its readiness to make
peace on a basis safeguarding Ger

"As far as lies with the German Gov

ARMED MERCHANTMEN
AS WARSHIPS
Germany's Contention In Her Former
Memorandum and Her Warning
To NeutraIs.

The German memorandum Of Feb
ruary 8, was addressed to neutral
nations and declared that after Febru-
ary 20, Germany would consider all
armed merchantmen belonging to
countries at war with Germany as war
ships. ard that such vessels would be
treated accordingly and sunk without
warning.
It is charged that before the out
break Of the war the British govern
ment had given British shipping COM
panies an opportunity to arm mer-
chantmen with guns for protection
against dangers threatening under
certain circumstances from auxiliary
cruisers Of other powers" The British
Admiralty, it was added, published in
January. 1914, a list showing that 20
steamers of various English lines car
ried stern guns.
Germany established soon after the
outbreak Of the war, the memorandum
said, that English liners were armed
the steamer La Correntina having
been captured carrying two four
FOUNDER seven-inch stern guns and a
German submarine having been fred
upon in the channel by an English
yacht
The memorandum said the British
government for its own merchantmen
had taken the standpoint that armed
merchantmen maintained the charac-
ter of peaceful mercantile vessels so
long as they only carried armament
for defensive purposes, but that in the
case of armed ships under other flags
it had adopted the principle that they
were TO be treated as warships.
"The German government" the
memorandum continued, "has no doubt
that merchantmen acquire belliger-
ent character through arming with
cannon, no matter whether the guns
shall serve only for defense or for at
tack. 1t considers every warlike
activity Of enemy merchantmen as con-
trary to International law, although it
takes into consideration the opposing
views, through the fact that it treats
the crews Of such ships not as pirates.
but as belligerents. +"
The memorandum said that numer-
Gus cases had come to light from re-
ports Of the German naval forces, "in
which British merchantmen not only
offered armed resistance to German
warships, but. on their own part. pro-
ceeded without further ado to attack
them, in which attacks they frequently
made use of false colors."
The manifesto was issued in order
that the neutral powers might warn
their subjects from further entrusting
their persons or property to armed
ships of the powers at war with Ger
many
