KAISER BLAMED FOR MINES.
Letters Inserted in Congress Record
to Refute Charges Of LaFolIette.

Washington. April Ex-senator Hitch
! cock, of Nebraska, ranking democratic
member of the foreign relations com
mittee caused to be inserted in the
record certain documents to refute the
argument advanced by Senator LaFol-
lette and other pacitist members Of
congress during the war debate that
British mines had been as gross a vio-
lation of American sea rights as Ger
man submarines.
They included a letter to Senator
King. Of Utah, from the state depart
ment and two letters to the depart
ment from the German embassy, Civ
ing proof that the German and not
the British admiralty had been the
first to mine trade routes. and that
the American freighters Evelyn and
Garth had been sunk by German and
not by British mines.
Senator LaFol1ette. during his argu-
ment Wednesday, laid the responsible
ity for the sinking of these two ships
On Great Britain. and used this incl
dent as an argument. that Great Brit
ain was equally a violator OF inter-
national law with Germany.
The two letters from the German
EN- bassy were dated March / and
March 90, 1915.
The letter to Senator King shows
that the first mining of the high seas
was done on Aug. !, 1914. by the Ger
man admiralty. which then mined the
trade routes 10 Great Britain. Mr..
Hitchcock said.
1T shows that on Aug. IL the Brit
ish admiralty reserved its right TO DO
likewise In answer to what the Ger
man admiralty had done he declared.
IT shows that on Aug. - the United
States protested to Great Britain min
ing the high seas, even tho Germany
had done so. ..
1T shows that on Aug. l9 Great
Britain notified us that Germany was
placing mines on the high seas: that
on Aug 25 Great Britain again noti-
fed US that Germany was laying
mines, and that Great Britain was re-
serving the right to do so. altho it
had not yet done so: that on Aug 30
further notice to: the same effect was
given by Great Britain:s that on Oct.
y, some two months after Germany
had acted, Great Britain notified us
that the admiralty had laid mines in
certain waters OF thet North sea and
outlined the area covered BY latitude
and longitude.
The note which ] have sent to the
desk from the German embassy ex-
plains from the German standpoint
to the United States why the ,Amsri-
can ships Evelyn and Carib were
sunk, and gives US a reason that they
did not obey the orders of the Ger
man admiralty as to sailing in safe
waters; that they had Dutch pilots,
secured thru English authority. in
stead Of having German pilots, and
therefore did not know where the
mines were.
The other note, Of March &c from
the German embassy explains that the
two ships should have had German
pilots and then would have known the
safe course 20 pursue in seeking Ger
man ports"
