GERMANY PUTS
N FOE
Sinking of Lusilania De
clared Justified.
VESSEL IS HELD CRUISER
Britain Accused of Protect
ing Munition Cargo With
American Lives.
ISSUE OF FACT RAISED
As to Gulflight and Cushing,
Note Says Errors Wiil
Be Paid For.
BERLIN, May 30. Germany, in its
reply to the United States, flatly de
clares the sinking of the Lusitania to
have been justified on the grounds of
self-defense. The Lusitania, it con
tends, carried ammunition to be used
in killing German soldiers. It is also
contended that the Lusitania was an
auxiliary cruiser of the British nacy;
that she was armed and that she car
ried Canadian troops, as well as war
material.
No indication of desire or intention
of abating the submarine plan of
warfare is given in the German reply.
The note, however, is not framed as
a direct answer to the American de
mands, but is rather an ad interim
reply, setting forth that certain facts
are first to be decided on before the
main issues are discussed by the two
governments. j
Sparing of Neutrals Intended. j
The Berlin government takes up
first the cases of the Gldflight and
the Cushing. It says these are now
being investigated, but that it is not
Germany's intention to submit neutral
ships on the high seas, guilty of no
hostile acts, to attacks. When neu
trals through no fault of their own
are damaged Germany will pay in
demnification, she says.
The case of the Falaba also is men
tioned, and in this instance it is de
clared that the captain of the ship
is himself to blame because of his
efforts to escape and to summon aid.
Destruction of Lusitania Upheld.
The declaration that the Lusitania
had canno aboard and was an auxil
iary cruiser of the British navy is
made strongly. All blame for the de
struction of the vessel is placed on
the British owners of the vessel, who
are accused of attempting "deliberate
ly to use the lives of American citi
zens as protection for the ammunition
aboard and acted against the clear
provisions of the American law, which
expressly prohibits the forwarding of
passengers on ships carrying ammu
nition and provides a penalty there
for." The reply says it decerns these cir
cumstances "important enough to
recommend them to the attentive ex
amination of the American Govern
ment." Early Proposals Recalled.
The reply says that final decision
on the demands of the United States
is withheld until receipt of an answer
to the preliminary note, but it reminds
the United States that it "took cogni
zance with satisfaction" of the me
diatory proposals submitted by the
United States to Berlin and London
as a basis for a modus vivendi for
maritime warfare.
The realization of these proposals,
says the reply, 'was defeated, as is
well known, by the declinatory atti
tude of the British government."

Montreal, was chased by a submarine
off the south coast of Ireland today but
escaped.
Considerable alarm was caused here
early today, when a S. O. S. call was
received from the liner, reporting that
a submarine had been sighted. The
first message was soon followed, how
ever, by another saying that the Me

and that she was then 60 miles south
east of. Cork harbor.
Later a third message was received
from the steamer's captain, reporting
that he had evaded the submarine, that
his ship was well to the westward and
that he was proceeding on his voyage

Ituse llinplojed to Cause Fuse Fir
ing, When Darkness Is Dense.
PARIS, May 9. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) A reservist
writes from the trenches telling how
light is drawn from the Germans
when a soldier wants to see what time
it is at night and has no match.
"What time is it?" asked a young
recruit of the class of 1914 at his lis
tening post in the advanced trenches.
No one had a match and it was too
dark to make out the time.
"If you want a light," said a terri
torial, who had passed the Winter in
the trenches, "you have only to open
a sharp fire on the trenches yonder."
The suggestion was acted on, and
after a few shots in quick succession
a star seemed to open out in the sky
overhead. Fearing a surprise attack,
the Germans had sent up a fuse to
light the position.
"Now you can see your watch," said
the territorial, "but don't try the ruse
too often."

BERLIN, May 30, via London, May 31.
Gottlieb von Jagow, the imperial
German Foreign Secretary, today re
ceived the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press and outlined the reasons
which Impelled the German government
to send an ad interim note to the
United States Government instead of
a final and definite reply to the Amer
ican representations regarding the Lu
sitania and other ships that have been
torpedoed and Germany's submarine
policy.
"The issues involved," said Herr von
Jagow, "are of such importance and
the views in regard to the Lusitania
show such variance that the German
government believes it essential to at
tempt to establish a common basis of
fact before entering into a discussion
of the issues involved.
Hants of fact Desired.
"We hope and trust that the Amer
ican Government will take the same
view of the case and let us know in
what points their understanding on the
facts differs from the German view
point as set forth in the note, and in
what points they agree, before look
ing for a direct answer to their com
munication. "The American note, of course, leaves
the way open for a preliminary discus
sion of the situation, as suggested in
the German note. I hope that sucn a
common basis of fact, once established,
may serve as the groundwork for fur
ther conversations."
The Minister was unwilling to give
a more definite outline or to comment
on the suggestion that arrangement
might be reached on a basis of an in
spection and certification by the Ameri
can Government of passenger ships
not carrying war cargoes, pointing out
that he did not feel entitled, to antici
pate, as the other departments of the
government must be heard before sug
gestions could be definitely taken up
or discussed.
Authoritative Statement Suggested.
Dr. von Jagow expressed pleasure at
the newspaper announcement that
American line steamers were not car

advisability of supplementing such

GERMAN MACHINE GUN FINE
Extraordinary Number in Use One
of Chief Troubles of Allies.
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, France.
May 8. It is still obvious that the
extraordinary number of machine guns
used by the Germans is one of the chief
troubles of the allied forces. The Ger
man weapon is a fine one and in their
preparation for war the Germans have
trained large numbers of men to its
use and have studied its tactics as
carefully as they have those of the reg
ular artillery.
The machine gun requires tactics of
its own, and some military experts say
that it takes two years to train a
thoroughly in its use.

SEATTLE, Wash.. May 30. Fifteen
tons of dynamite, stored on a scow an
chored in the west waterway, said to
have been awaiting shipment to Rus
sia, exploded at 2 o'clock this morning
and caused damage estimated at $40,000
to plate-glass windows in Seattle. An
unidentified watchman who is supposed
to have been guarding the dynamite is
missing and ooubt'.ess was killed.
Roy Lillico, manager of the Lillico
Launch & Towboat Company, who had
supervision of the explosive, said he
had hired the watchman Saturday with
out learning his name to take the place
of two men who previously guarded the
scow in a launch, but who had been
sent to Tacoma for a tow.
Accldeat Theory Scooted.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined, but Port Warden Pay
see is of the opinion that it was not ac
cidental. The explosive was brought to Seattle
from San Francisco on the steamer F.
S. Loop, May 13, and was transferred
to the scow upon the steamer's arrival.
Mr. Lillico said the explosive was
awaiting the arrival of a steamer to
take it to Russia.
The explosive was to be shipped to
Vladivostok on the steamer Hazel Dol
lar, now loading army supplies at Ta
coma. It became-known tonight that
two weeks ago the Russian Consul in
San Francisco received information
that an attempt would be made to blow
up the Hazel Dollar before she left
port.

Defectives were employed by the
Russian government, and for two weeks
have been guarding the Hazel Dollar.
Walter R. Thayer, local representative
of the detective agency guarding the
steamer, said tonight he believed an in
fernal machine had been concealed
among the cases of dynamite stored on
the scow, with the expectation that the
explosive soon would be placed aboard
the steamer.
Fire Marshal Bringhurst said he
could offer no other explanation for
the explosion than that it was mali
cious, although he admitted that he had
been unable to gather any evidence in
support of this theory.

Sunday's War Moves
AROUND the great fortress of
Przemysl a mighty battle still is
raging. The Austro-German armies
are making a supreme effort to cut oft
the stronghold and free these armies
for operations against Italy and the
allies in the West.
Although great human sacrifices are
being made, their progress latterly has
been extremely slow, as the Russians
have had time to bring up large rein
forcements of both men and heavy ar
tillery. North of the fortress the Russians
appear to be more than holding their
own, but on the southeast the Aus
trians and the Germans say they have
made further headway and now com
mand with their artillery the railway
between Przemysl and Grodek. which
runs Just south of the main line be
tween Przemysl and Lemberg. From
the latter town the Russians draw a
large portion of their reinforcements
and supplies.
The battle still is undecided and
hopes run high in the allied camps
that the Russians will be able to hold
their lines until the advance of the
Italians and the strengthening of the
Anglo-French army compels llio Ger
mans to withdraw part of their armies
Irom Galicia.
In the West there has bocn consid
erable fighting along the Yter (.'anal,
where the French report the occupa
tion of German trenches and in the
vicinity of Neuville-St. Vaast. where
the French made an advance of about
a quarter mile.
The German official statement says
that after a 10-hour artillery attack
to the east of the Yser Canal the allies
were repulsed.
Another steamship, tire Tullochmoor,
has been vunk by a German submarine,
while considerable alarm was caused
yesterday by the report that the White
Star liner Megantic, bound from Liver
pool for Montreal, with many passen
gers aboard, was being chased. The
liner, however, escaped.
