After referring to the growth of

in which the National City Bank has

TWO NEGATIVE VOTES
House Passes Bill Extending Sc
Iective Draft Age.
Measure Now Goes to Senate, Where
Favorable Action Is Expected
This Week.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The House
passed the new manpower bill, ex.
tending the selective draft to all men
between the ages of Is and IS years,
with only minor changes in the off,
cial draft of the War department.
On the first roll only two negative
votes were cast, by Representative
London of New York, the Socialist,
and Representative Gordon of Ohio,
Democrat.
The final vote was announced as 1856
to g..
The final vote was preceded by
three days debate, during which the
chief contention was an amendment to
defer the calling Of youths from 10 to
20 years until older men had been
summoned. A final effort was made
by Chairman Dent to place the 49,
year-old boys in a deferred class, but
a motion to recommit the bill to the
Military Affairs committee with in
structions to incorporate that amend
ment was lost, 191 to 146.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where leaders predicted it's passage
early this week.

Suit Arising From Sinking

CALLS DEED ILLEGAL
Court Rules Cunard Line Cannot Be

doing of Vessel.

New York, Aug. 27~.-According to
a decision handed down in the ad-
miralty branch of the United States
district court by Judge julius M.
Mayer, the Cunard Steamship COM
pany cannot be held liable for loss of
life and property in the %torpedoing of
the Lusitania by a German submarine.
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 that the fault, therefore,
must be laid upon those who are re-
sponsible for the sinking of the vessel
in the legal as we'll as moral sense"
America to Demand Payment.
In discussing suits against the Cum
ard line, ~aggregating nearly $4,000, 900,
brought by heirs of persons who per-
ished 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
we'll remember the rights of those az
fected by the sinking of the Lusitania
and when the time shall come will see
to it that r%eparation shall be made for
pne Of the most in%defensible acts of
modern times"
Judge Mayer went eXhaustingly into
claims that the Cunard line was negli-
gent, and dismissed them with the con
clusion that the captain and members
of the crew took every p%recaution JUS
tilted by the then known facts, both
before and after the vessel was tor
pedoed.
Lusitania Never Armed.
'1t is, of course, easy now" he de-
clared, lin the light of many later
events added to preceding acts, to look
back and say that the Cunard line and
it's captains should have known that
the German government would author.
Lze or permit so shocking a breach Of
International law and so foul an Of

as well against peaceful citizefs of a
then friendly nation. But the unex-
oected character of the act was best
evidenced by the horror which it ex-
cited in the minds and hearts of the
American people"
Judge Mayer declared that proof
brought out in his 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 "a sunk she did not carry
explosives.
