FIX LUSITANIA LIABILITY
Not the Cunard Company but Ger
many Must Pay, Says Court.

New York. Aug. 25.-The Cunard
Steamship Company cannot be held
liable for loss of life and property in
the torpcdoing of the Lusitania by :;
German submarine, according to de-
cision handed down in the admiralty
branch of the United States District
Court by Judge Julius NJ. Mayer and
made public today.
"The cause OF the sinking OF the
Lusitania was the illegal act of the
imperial German government, acting
through its 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"
In dismissing suits against the
Cunard line aggregating nearly j mil
lion dollars, brought by heirs OF per-
sons who persisted with the Lusitania,
on May :, 1915. Judge Mayer asserted
that lit is not to be doubted that the
United States OF America and he.
Allies will we'll remember the rights
of those affected 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 in
defcnsible acts OF modern Shines"
Judge Mayer declared that proof
brought out in his investigation which
covered year. is conclusive that the
Lusitauia was not and never had been
armed and that on the voyage on
which she was sunk did not carry ex-
plosives.

submarine warfare, which is reported
to have been sent, says that such a
procedure on the part of Spain as was
indicated in the instructions to the

The note declares. however, that
Germany is ready to consider limit
ing the operations of submarines
outside of the danger zone.
1t is said that Germany has in
formed Spain that she cannot render
any guarantee in this respect and can
not treat Spain in an exceptional
way. Germany, the note says, can
not give up the submarine warfare
and hopes that Spain, which has ex-
pressed desire to maintain her neu-
trality, will really remain neutral.
