INTENT TO RAID SUSPECTED
Defiance of Island Governor's In
; f. Hue Hons Probably Assumed by
Commander of British, Is View,
, but Regret Unqualified.
LOXDON", April 15. The British
government has offered a "full and
ample apology" to the Chilean govern
ment for the sinking: on March 1 in
Chilean territorial waters of the Ger
man cruiser Dresden, the internment
of which had already been ordered by
the maritime governor of Cumberland
Bay when the British squadron, at
tacked and sank tier.
This fact was made public , tonight
in a white paper, giving the texts of
the Chilean note protesting against the
sinking of the Dresden and the British
government's reply.
German Ordered Interned.
The note delivered by the Chilean
Minister to Great Britain says that
the Dresden anchored in Cumberland
Bay (Juan Fernandea Island). March
9, and asked permission to remain
eight days for the purpose of repair
ing her engines, which were said to be
out of order. The Governor refused
the request, as he considered it un
founded, and ordered the captain to
leave the bay within 24 hours.
As the order was not complied with
the captain of the Dresden was In
formed that his ship was Interned.
When the British squadron appeared
on March 14, the Governor was pro
ceding to the cruiser Glasgow to In
form the British officers of the steps
ha had taken, but he had to turn back,
as the British ships opened fire. on the
Dresden, on which a flag of truce al
ready had been hoisted, and called on
her captain to surrender.
' Chile Painfully Surprised.
The captain gave orders to blow up
the magazine of the Dresden.
"This act of histility committed in
Chilean territorial waters by a British
naval squadron," says the Chilean Min
ister, "has painfully surprised my gov
ernment." Continuing, the - Minister says that
had the officer in command of the
British squadron received the Gov
ernor and been informed that the Dres
den was interned he was convinced
"the British commander would not
have opened fire on her and bronght
about a situation which constrains the
Chilean government. In defense of its
sovereign rights, to formulate a most
energetic protest."
Britain Expresses Regret.
After referring to the hospitality
shown British ships in Chilean waters
and to the long friendship between the
two peoples, the Minister says:
"Nothing could be a more painful
surprise to us than to see our ex
tremely cordial attitude repaid by an
act which bears, unfortunately, all the
evidence of contempt for our sovereign
rights, although it Is probable that
nothing was further from the minds of
those by whom it was unthinkingly
committed."
The British government, in its reply,
expresses regret that a misunderstand
ing arose, and adds:
"On the facts as slated in tho cora-
nmntcatiun of the Chilean Minister, the
British government is prepared to of
fer a full and ample apology to the
Chilean government.
German Still Flying- Colors.
"It I.-, however, pointed out that, ac
cording to the British information, the
Dresden hud -not accepted internment
ond itill had her colors flying and her
guns trained."
The British reply continues: "If this
i.-i :so and there were no means avail
able for enforcing the decision of the
Chilean authorities to intern the Dres
den. tte might obviously, had not the
Brili.-h ships taken action, have es
caped, again to attack British com
merce." It is added:
"The captain of the Glasgow prob
ably assumed, especially In view of the
past action of the Dresden, that she
was defying- the Chilean authorities
and abusing Chilean neutrality and
was only waiting for a favorable op
portunity to sally out and attack Brit
ish commerce again. ,
"In view or the time tt would take
to clear up the circumstances and be
cause of the Chilean communication,
the British government does not wish
to qualify the apology that they now
present to the Chilean government." "

LONDON, April 16 Two Zeppelin
airships visited the east coast of Eng
land shortly after midnight, dropping
bombs on several towns, doing consid
erable damage to property. As far as
has been ascertained only one person,
a woman, was Injured. It is said she
was only slightly hurt.
The airships dropped four bombs on

16,000 CARPENTERS STRIKE
All Building In Chicago Will Stop,
It Is Said.
CHICAGO, April 15. Sixteen thousand
Union carpenters anticipated a lock
out which would become effective to
morrow and went on strike at the close
of work today. The strike, ordered by
Union officials, followed a demand for
an Increase In wages from 65. to 70
cents an hour. '
The lockout order was the result of
a general order of the Building Con
struction Employers' Association, di
rected at every uniOn in the building
trades which might permit Its working
agreement to expire. After the strike
was declared the employers made pub
lic a special notice which said none of
the men who struck would be permitted

ZEPPELIN BEATS SEACRAFT
Trip of 800 Miles Believed Made by
Raider of English Towns.
LONDON, April 15 The skippers of
the British trawlers, who sighted the
Zeppelin airship which last night raided
tho northeast coast of England, describe
her as the Z-9, one of the latest type
of German airship. The trawlers sighted
tho craft 100 miles from land. They
believe she came from Heligoland. If
she returned to that Island the calcula
tion is made that she must have cov
ered on her trip something like 800
miles.
The trawlers came at full speed for
port Immediately after they recognized
the Zeppelin, with the object of giving
warning, but they were easily outdis
tanced by the airship.

lished by arrangement.)
WRITTEN AT SEA, NEAR, MALTA,
March 25. Every time I have heard
peace discussed I have brought up the
subject.
French and English constantly ask
what we think about the war, about
the Germans, about Belgium, about
atrocities; never about peace.
At the time I interviewd the Cabinet
England's terms were the evacuation
and compensation of Belgium, togeth
er with the terms to be demanded by
her allies.
In Paris the officials were less ex
plicit, but I became satisfied that the
return of Alsace and Lorraine would
satisfy France, and even less might be
accepted
Only the fear of becoming a member
of the peace faker club prevented my
cabling these terms.
Army Wants No Pence.
Then I went to the army and the
early peace scales dropped from my
eyes.
"Peace? There wijl be no peace 4111
we are in Germany," roared a sergeant
In a faded blue coat. "They destroyed
my house and drove out my wife while
I was witb the army at the Meusu. I
am going to Prussia for another."
Then his speech became rapid and his
voice rose. His companions gesticu
lated approval. (
With his flashing eyes and unkempt
beard he looked more like a buccaneer
than the peasant who was quietly rais
ing beets last July.
"It Is better not to mention peace,"
said the lieutenant who was my guide.
"These men have suffered much and
are not reasonable. Tou would become
'suspect. "
(xOTcrnment IWot Consnlted.
"But then you talk to me about It,"
I replied. "I have talked to the govern
ment "
"The government has nothing to
say," was the astonishing rejoinder.
"The army will make peace, but not
until it is In Germany."
The army, of course. Every able
bodied man is in the army now. The
army Is the nation.
But in Germany that Is different. I

LONDON. April 15 The Netherlands
steamer Katwljk, from Baltimore for
Rotterdam, was torpedoed yesterday
while anchored seven miles west of the
North Hinder lightship In the North
Sea. The crew of 23 men was saved
and taken aboard the lightship.
The Katwljk was a freight steamer.
Built in 1903, she was 1267 net tons
and 281 feet long. She sailed from Bal
timore March 26 for Rotterdam, and
passed Dover April 14.
Periscope Seen by Crew.
A dispatch to Reuter's from Flushing
reports the arrival there of the. crew
of the Katwijk. The men say that while
the night watch was being changed a
severe shock was felt and the ship be
gan to take in water. As the steamer
was sinking the crew took to the boats,
and while rowing away saw the perl
scope of a submarine, which quickly
disappeared.
The Katwijk sank 15 minutes after
the explosion. Reuter's Amsterdam cor
respondent say3 the Katwijk had been
lying at anchor for 15 minutes when
she was torpedoed on the port side.
Ship's Lights All Burning.
The correspondent says a message
received from the Hook of Holland de
clares that all the ship's lights were
burning at the time of the attack. After
the torpedo struck the Katwljk caught
fire, and only the ship's papers could be
saved. k
The Amsterdam Telegraaf, comment
ing on the occurrence, says:
"We must expect that the German
government will, without loss of time,
be made responsible for this severe vio
lation of the rights of neutral powers.
The talk of there being pyrites among
the cargo of grain or that the ship was
about to be chartered by the British
government, cannot now be discussed.
The plain fact Is that a Dutch ship,
chartered by the Dutch government, has
been torpedoed off the Dutch coast by
a state pretending to -maintain friendly
relations with the Netherlands.
Open Enmity Preferred.
"How many similar proofs of friend
ship must we receive before we declare
we prefer open enmity?"

Incident:

Thursdays War Moves
7Y LTHOUGH it Is not yet certain that
m a German submarine boat was re
sponsible for the sending to the bot
tom of the Dutch steamer Katwljk off
the North Hinder Lightship Wednesday
night, the sinking of the vessel has
aroused the indignation of tho Dutch
people, as evidenced by the editorials of
the newspapers in Holland.
The Katwijk, which was loaded with
grain from Baltimore consigned to the
Dutch government. Is reported to have
been lying at anchor at the time of
the explosion and to have been flying
the Dutch flag. The Dutch newspapers
Insist therefore that no mistake could
have been made, and that if a German
submarine actually torpedoed the
steamer, "we must expect that the
German govern-,, will, without loss
of time, 0SN .esponstble for this
seve- --j . ..on of the rights of neu
, X.V-ers."
iho fact that the Dutch government
was directly involved In the Katwijk's
cargo and that the news of the sinking
of tho steamer came Immediately on
top of the announcement that four
Dutch trawlers had been seized by the
'ermans and taken to Zeebrugge ap
parently heightened tho feelings of the
Hollanders.
The Katwijk incident and many ru
mors of diplomatic movements In Italy
and the near Ea-st seemingly made the
people of England almost forget
Wednesday night's Zeppelin raid over
Northumberland County and fighting
on the continent.
Next in interest to the sinking of the
ftatwllk was the nublication of
"white naner" slmwine IViut Hr,at Ret
ain acknowledged that Britlwh cruisers
naa siinK the berman cruiser Dresden
in Chilean territorial waters and had
offered an apology for the action of her
squadron.
As far as fighting is concerned, the
battles in the Carpathians and In the
Woevre are the only ones of any Impor
tance. The Russians, although now
faced by much larger forces than they
were at the beginning of the battle
three months ago, are said to be con
tinuing their efforts to force the Aus-
tro-German armies out of the Carpa
thians and open the way to Hungary.
Having successfully taken the western
passes, they are bending their energies
on an attempt to capture the I'zsok
Pass and the heights to the northeast
of that break In the mountains.
Petrograd asserts that the Russians
are making steady progress, despite the
efforts of the Austro-Germans to out
flank them; but the Austrians Insist
that the recent fighting has been In
their favor and that they have captured
another important height northwest of
Lzsok Pass.
In the Woevre the I'rench apparently
have revived their offensive and at sev
eral points say they have added mate
rially to the ground gained, which has
drawn them a step nearer their main
objective the removal of the German
wedge which bends their line back to
St. Mihiel.
In the Argonne and in Alsace and in
the region of the Somme, the French
declare they also have made some prog
ress, but this is In direct contradiction
of the Berlin official report, which says
that all the French attacks were re
pulsed.

FRENCH CLERGY VISIT POPE

ROME, April 14. Several French
bishops and priests came to Rome to
day to consult with the Holy See con
cerning the prayers for peace written
by Pooe Benedict for use in Roman
Catholic Churches the world over next
month.
These clergymen said that the Ro
man Catholics of France, including the
clergy, while subscribing to the Pope's
wish, decided to embody in the prayers
a petition for the victory of their coun
try in the war.
In support of this contention they
pointed out that a larger number of
the Roman Catholic clergy In France
than on any previous occasion had
taken up arms for their country.
