cases involved as the Germans see
them, with a courteous request to the
American Government to confirm their

the important point alleged by Ger

ammunition: possibly also that the
Lusitania was armed.
A high official of the Foreign Of

the idea was first to get all the facts

Germany and America should engage in

BERLIX, May 27, via London, May
2S. o information la available here
regarding; the reported torpedoing of
the American steamer Nebraskan off
the southern coast of Ireland last Tues
day night.
LIVERPOOL, May 28. The American
steamer Nebraskan, which was disabled
Tuesday night by an explosion off the
coast of Ireland, arrived here shortly
before midnight. The captain said:
"I saw no submarine, but am certain
it was a torpedo which hit us.
Name Plainly Outlined.
"Moreover, a submarine could not
have failed to see our name and na
tionality, which were outlined in huge
letters on our sides."
The members of the crew of the Ne
braskan were agreed that the explosion
undoubtedly was a torpedo. The for
ward part of the ship is completely
wrecked.
WASHINGTON, May 27. The United
States Government had received tonight
messages from Ambassador Page and
Consul-General Skinner at London and
a statement from Captain Greene of
the American steamer Nebraskan, but
from all information thus far available
it has been impossible to determine
whether the explosion on the Nebras
kan Tuesday was caused by a mine or
torpedo.
Ambassador Page reported that he
had begun an inquiry, sending naval
constructors attached to the American
Embassy to make a complete examina
tion on the Nebraskan's arrival at
Liverpool.
Any diplomatic action as a result
of the incident will be deferred until
there la definite proof of the cause of
the explosion. Should it develop that
the vessel was torpedoed, the fact that
her flag had been lowered a few min
utes before, at sundown, would have no
bearing on the action of the American
Government, which always has insisted
upon the exercise of the right of visit
and search before an attack upon any
merchantman.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27. Lassen
Peak was scaled today for the first

tating eruptions by a party of five men
led by R. S. Holway, professor of phys
ical geography at the University of
California. In a telegraphic report to
the Associated Press tonight of his ob
servations Professor Holway says that
the two craters have undergone radical
transformations, both now being filled.
So far as Professor Holway could Judge
no mud. was ejected, as has been be
lieved, from the volcano. The vast mud
flood that poured down Into Hat Creek
Valley, inundating many miles of farm
lands, was the result, he thinks, of the

took us from seven to eight hours to

"The southeast outline of the rim of

The new crater Is alsu practically

Thursday's War Moves
THE British battleship Majestic, an
other of the ships supporting the
allied army on the Calllpoll Peninsula,
was torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine yesterday. Nearly all the
officers and crew were saved.
At about the same time the steamer
Princess Irene, which was built last
year for the Canadian raciflc British
Columbia coast service, and which was
taken over by the Admiralty at the
beginning of the war, was accidentally
destroyed by an explosl"- rhlle at an
chor at Sheerneso qV 'e was un
dergoing - ner crew, numbering-
' ot ,i one seaman, besides
o -"a workmen, who were
t the time, lost their lives.
The Majestic,- which was the oldest
battleship on the active list of the
British navy, is the sixth capital ship
lost by the allies since the beginning
of the operations against the Darda
nelles, and the second which has fallen
a victim to German submarines which
recently arrived in those waters.
The submarine menace Is a growing
one, both in the Aegean Sea and home
waters, and these vessels promise to
take an active part in the operations
in the narrow waters of the Adriatic,
where, as in the Aegean, numerous
islands afford good shelter.
While the warships are able to es
cape them in the waters around the
British Isles, with the Increase In their
numbers the carrying on of sea-borne
trade becomes more and more haz
ardous. The British Admiralty Is still
said to believe that the American
steamer Nebraekan, now on her way to
Liverpool, was torpedoed, and. In ad
dition, the British steamer Morwenna.
bound for Canada, and the Danish
steamer Betty have been sunk by sub
marines. Only a few days ago the com.
mander of a submarine informed a
Danish captain that he had no orders
to rink Danish vessels.
Amid the activities on land and sea
and in the air, from the Dardanelles
to the waters around the British Isles.
Middle Galicla remains the scene of
the greatest and most Important fight
ing. There the Austrlans and Ger
mans continue to batter at the Rus
sian lines to the northeast and south
east of Przomysl, and, according to
reports which have not been confirmed
by official statements, they have
severed communications between the
former Austrian fortress and Lemberg.
If these reports are true, Prztmysl,
which less than three months ago was
taken by the Russians after a long
siege, is again surrounded. It appears,
however, that while the Teutonic allies
are pressing hard on the fortress, they
have not yet forged the circle, the com
pletion of which is being stubbornly
opposed by the Russians.
The Germans have forced another
crossing of the San River, 11 miles
north of Przemysl, and have extended
by several miles the zone held by them
east of the San. To the southcasc they
also say they have broken the Russian
lines and to have taken some irnpor
tant positions.
Despite all these assertions. Petro
grad announces with the greatest op
timism and belief that the Russian re
inforcements will be able to stem the
Austro-German onslaught.
In the west the French and British
report further advances which are gen
erally denied by the Germans. Tlie
latter, who themselves have made an
other air raid on Southend, make no
reference to the French statement that
18 French airmen flew over Ludwlg
shafen and, dropping bombs, set flro-Uo
a chemical works, which had been en
gaged In manufacturing operations for
the German war office since the out
break of the war.
The allies report continued progress
of their operations against the Turks
on the Gallipot! Peninsula. During the
armistice which the Turks asked for,
they buried many more than 3000 dead,
while the British gathered up no fewer
than 12.0)0 Turkish rifles proof that
the Turkish losses have been extreme
ly heavy
These losses were sustained In ter
rific counter attacks delivered against
the positions which the allies had
strongly fortified. The Turks came
under the lire of the ships at the tame
time.
The repulse of these counter attacks
and the carrying out of attacks by the
allies memseives nave resulted tn con
siderable losses on the allied side, to
which must now be added the losses
sustained by the sinking of the bat
tleships Triumph and Majestic
The Italians continue their offensive
on the frontiers of the Tyrol and
Trentino and Istria and have taken a
chain of important positions, but they
have not yet como into contact with
the main Austrian forces, which are
waiting for them behind entrench
ments. David Lloyd George yesterday took
charge of the department of the War
OfTice having to do with the supply of
munitions, and with the aid of a strong
committee immediately began to or
ganize the factories with a view to In
creasing greatly the supplies.
