Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. speaking

Politicians had large delegation at

For the moment the pacifists and in

let our people beware of them as soon

LINER W AS UNARMED
By the United Press
New York, Aug. &c.

The Imperial German Government,
through an act of piracy, is responsible
for the sinking of the Cunard liner Lusi-
tanla, the United States District Court
holds.
In forty-five-page opinion made pub
lie here, Judge Mayer. of the Federal
Court. absolvcs the Cunard Company
from liability, and suggests that the
German Government be made to settle
when peace terms are made.
Relatives of victims Of the Lusitania's s
sinking and survivors of that disaster
had sued the company for damages ag-
gregating about s6,O0o,OOO. The COM
pany had applied for ruling on its
liability, contending that under the ma
tons maritime laws 1t could not be
held responsible for more than the value
of the cargo and baggage Of passengers
Judge Mayer found the ship was not
armed. that she carried no explosives
and that her destruction was q wilful
act of piracy, for which the German
Government alone must be held respon-
sible.
He pointed out that there was no
negligence on the part of the snip S
officers and that there was no panic dur
ing the eighteen minutes the ship re-
manned afloat after she had been struck
by the torpedo.
This is the first time that an American
court has passed on the sinking of 'he
vessel and is the only time court in
this country has determined whether
or not the Lusitania was armed. whether
she carried ammunition and whether she
was painted 10 resemble Il transport as
had been contended by the German

Bluff Changes Nationality
About this time there was a notice.
able change in the attitude of Swiss
public opinion. Until the first part
of this year it was generally believed
in Switzerland that the United States
was not in earnest" Germany had
encouraged the report that the United
States would never really fight:
that America would "get out of the
war whenever there was good op.
portunity." Reports Of a growing
army in the United States were mere
Yankee bluff" But when the Red
Cross began to make such great prep.
araticns for American prisoners and
when the army began TO grow by the
hundred thousand in France. "Ameri.
can bluff" was transformed into Ger
man bluff" "If the Red Cross Is doing
this work in Switzerland. what must
the United States army be doing in
France?" Expressions similar to this
wer" .ieard in all parts OF the Helve.
tian States Ellis Loring Dresel had
made an impression upon switzerland.

American prisoners, he was ready for

no one else would or could. Drese
knew also that our Allies have many

many. and he knew that if the Ameri
can army was to be big army, as hs
hoped and expected, then Fate woulc
have a big chance of banishinS Amer

Washington, Aug. 26.-Secretary Nc
Adoo.. in conference today with Chair
man kitchin, of the House Ways and

mendation that higher tax be levied
on unearned than on earned incomes as

The Secretary pointed out that II the
