 Case Hopeless

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS, Aug. 25.-(Reuter's) 1.-The demeanor of hundreds of German officers taken prisoner recently is in striking contrast with the atti- tude of officers captured during the British retreat last spring. Then German officer prisoners were arrogant and meant to crush the British to earth but now they are depressed and very anxious. They appear very willing to talk and the tenor of their conversation may be summed us as follows:
 They say Germany entered the war with enthusiasm. but this has long since
 struggle has s-- NdVdaI7 one with Great Britain.
 ADMIT CASE HOPELESS
 They admit that Germany is in practically a hopeless condition, both economically and from the man power point of view and ask whether Great Britain cannot now consider Germany sufficiently re- duced to be no longer dangerous trade rival or whether the allies intend to crush her altogether. In the latter case, they say, Germany will be forced to fight to the last, but they make no effort, to conceal their impression of what this means for the FatherIand. They say they believe there is every dis position to evacuate Belgium and northern France and even heeo. ,A4A They are generally unanimous in agreeing that annexations thus far made and the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty were great mistake, but think they cannot withdraw from Russia in the present condition of affairs there.
 FEAR YANKEE ARMY
 They arc aware that the Amer Ican army now has assumed very formidable proportions and there is a general admission of the ssri- ousness of this factor.
 The submarine campaign they cannot refer to without gestures of impatience.
 Captured non commissioned of- fcers attribute recent German de- fsats to the inefficienoy of the air service and more especially to the inexperience and lack of stamina ot the latest recruits who are most inadequately drilled and trained and who are physically incapable of sustaining the heavy strain of defensive warfare. The mere pres. enee of these new recruits, they say, produces in company a de- nnoralizing effect upon the older men because it indicates to what straits Germany must be reduced to employ such poor material.

 LONDON, Aug. 25.--At the request of John Dillon, chairman of the Irish ma tionalist party, T. P. O'Connor has sent to America a reply to the recent address forwarded to President Wilson by Sir Edward Carson the Ulster leader, and head of the war aims con- mittee.
 MT. O'Connor complains that while mentioning the alleged Sim Fein pro- German plots, Sir Edward omits to mention that he and his associates be- fore the war in speeches and in news papers declared that they would pre- fer the rule of the German emperor to home rule and that he and his friends were supplied from Germany with 50,000 rifles, which they still hold for that purpose, now as before the war, is making war upon an act of the Bri- tish parliament"
 MT. O'Connor further charges that it was Sir Edward Carson's rebel move ment which precipitated the war by creating in the German mind the mis- calculation that England would be too embarrassed by the Ulster rebellion to enter the war. MT. O'Connor con- tends that it was the action of Carson when holding tip home rule and preaching the doctrine of revolution and accepting a place in the cabinet thit transformed Ireland from en- thusiastic support of the war to its present attitude of sullen detachment

 COURT RULING
Decision Says Sinking Was
 Illegal Act of German
 Sub; Relieves Owners from Suits for Millions
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 .VIS W YORK, Aug. 25.-The Cunard s,u.-iship company cannot be held liable for loss of life and property in the torpedoing of the Lusitania by al German submarine, according to de- cision handed down in the admiralty branch of the United District court by Judge Julius M. Mayer, and made public today.
 The cause of the sinking of the Lusitania was the illegal act of the imperial German government, acting through it's instrument, the submarine commander" declared Judge Mayer, who held "the fault, therefore, mus. be laid upon those who are responsible for the sinking of the vessel in the legal as well as moral sense."
 Hints at Preparation
 In dismiSsing suits against the Cunard line aggregating nearly $4,000,- 900, brought by heirs of persons who perished with the Lusitania on May z, 1915, Judge Mayer asserted that it is not to be doubted that the United States of America and her allies will will remember the rights of those af- fected by the sinking of the Lusitania, and when the time shall come will see to it that reparation shall be made for one of the most indefensible acts of modern times."
 Judge Mayer dismissed the claim that the Cunard line was negligent | with the conclusion that the captain and members of the crew took every precaution justified by the then known facts, both before and after the vessel was torpedoed.
 Tt is, of'course, easy now" he said, "in the light of many later events au- ded to preceding acts, to look back and say that the Cunard line and it's cap tain should have known that the Ger man government woNd authorize or permit so shocking breach of inter- national law and so foul an offense. not only against an enemy but as well against peaceful citizens of then friendly nation. But the unexpected character of the act was best evinced by the horror which it excited in the minds and hearts of the American people,
 Judge Mayer declared that proof brought out in this investigation which covered a year, is conclusive that the Lusitania was not and never had been armed and that on the voyage on which she was sunk did not carry explosives
 Discussing the warning advertise  ments published by the German em- bassy in New York newspapers on May l. the day the Lusitania sailed. Judge Mayer said:
 Justified Sailing
 Tt is perfectly plain that the master was fully justified in sailing on the appointed day from a neutral port with many neutral and -combatant pas sengers, unless he and his company were willing to yield to an attempt oi the German government to terrify British shipping.
 Few at that time would be likely 10 construe the warning advertise ment as calling attention to more thar likely perils to be expected from quick decentralization and the possible rigors of the sea after the proper safeguard ing of the hves of passengers by a least full opportunity to take to tn, boats."

BRITISH CONTINUE SMASHING GERMANS
 TOWARD 0[D LINE

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 25-(By the Associated Press 1.-The British continue smash ing the Germans toward the old Hin denburg line which almost has been reached in the northern battle zone The defenses of Bapaume have either already been capturd or are in pro- cess of being captured.
 Bapaume itself must fall shortly.
 Meanwhile. some of the heaviest fighting of the war is going on in this section of the battle front for the Ger mans are loath to part with the town which has great strategic value.
 Warlencourt. an important position just south of Bapaume on the road to Albert. which has been widely crossed. was taken by the British after a bitter struggle in which the Germans suffered very severe losses.
 Great Many Captured
 Great numbers of the enemy were captured during the day, among them a large party from the third German naval division.
 So fast was the British advance last night and today that it is impossible to be certain where the front lines will be located from one hour to the next.
 In addition to crossing the Albert Rapaume road at many places. the British have made progress south ward for q considerable distance with the cavalry operating in front of the infantry.
 The German exhibit signs of crack ing at< some places but are offering desperate resistance. Many more guns. some of large calibre, have been taken. Che British corps alone has counted 50 guns.
 Enemy in Confusion There is evidence of confusion in the enemy ranks. Units Of the same divisions hurled into the battle have been taken at points separated by many miles. Quantities of material are falling into British hands because 1 the boche has not troubled to apply the torch or explosives Pozieres, to the north of Albert, fell this morning. British patrols were seen entering Martinpuich, where ap- rarently the boche made good his es- cape.
 Highwood a strong position near Longueva1 tnorthwest of Combles) is reported captured, while Eaucourt IT. Abbaye. Contalmaison and Courcelette have been occupied by the British.

AMERICANS HAMMER
 GERMANS IN P[EXUS

LONDON, Aug. 25.-(Via MontreaD A week of continuous allied sue cesses closed gloriously Saturday when the British stormed no fewer than 15 important strongholds A semi official statement from Paris em- phasized that the whole interest Sat urday centered on the British front, where gains of ground of the most important tactical value had been achieved, especially in the direction of Bapaume. which now virtually is at the mercy of the British, owing to their capture of the Arcre valley railway.
 The significant part of the success is that the Americans west of Fisn1es and south of the Vesle have been 1ate- ly assigned fo the task of hammering the German communications within the north of the Aisne district. They have been steadily reinforced all the time, and if their present movement develops it is likely to have serious consequences for the Germans, whom Gen. Mangin and Gen. Humbert are outflanking. While Ludendorff deems 1t prudent to retire from this region. his decision to withdraw to the 1917 Tine may be hastened by the Americans.
