2 TUB 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX. MONDAY, MAY 31, 1915. WILSON STANDS BY FIRST DECLARATION Immediate Compliance Still Demanded; Long Discus sion Is Not Desired. POLICY IS NOT CHANGED Kxcliangc of Views as to Status of Lusitania Regarded as Useless. Tragic Act of German Sub marine Still Chief Issue. BY JOHN CALLAN O'LAUGHLIN. WASHINGTON. May 30. (Special.) President Wil.son is determined to stand by his notice to Germany that It must take "immediate steps" to stop sub marine warfare on mercantile craft, so far as it may endanger the lives of neu trals. Ho meant precisely -what he said when he used the following language in his original note to the Berlin gov erniiient. "I'.xpressions of renret and offers of reparation in case of the destruction of neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they may satisfy international obliga tions, if "no loss o life results, cannot justify or excuse a practice, the nat ural and necessary effect of which is to subicct neutral nations and neutral persona to new and immeasurable risks." Rntrrtu Not Sufficient. r.ermanv has expressed resret and made offers of reparation in the cases of the American steamships Oulflibhl and Cu.shin!,-. The President has said this would not be sufficient. He stands by his declaration. A r.ieh official of the Administra tion, who described Mr. Wilsons atti tude tonight, said that when the Presi dent sent his demands to Germany he expected a reply, in case Mr. Gerard did not receive his passports, which would fail to satisfy the Just require ments of the United States. He con sidered every possible point which mipht be advanced by the Berlin gov ernment and prepared to meet it. He is waiting only for the official text ol the German communication to deter mine finally his course of action. Cabinet to IJUruHM Note. The official text will be handed to the President tomorrow mornins. There will be some discussion of it at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Then the President will make a draft of the response and present it to the Cabinet Friday. Meantime tho Administration will learn the view the country takes of the reply and will guide himself to some extent thereby. At the same time, the President and his advisers realize that the prestige of the United States and the attitude of foreign nations, including the bel ligerents, toward us depends on the ac tion he shall take. To engage in a prolonged discussion with Germany, in view of the character of the demands made upon it. would not be of benefit to the country. To exchange views as to whether the Lusitania were an aux iliary cruiser, with mounted concealed guns, ammunition and Canadian sol diers on board, would be to admit a responsibility on the part of the United States which undoubtedly would be the basis of heavy claim by the Berlin gov ernment. Breach of Neutrality Denied. For a neutral to permit a belliger ent vessel to be fitted in its ports to cruise against the other belligerent is a gross breach of neutrality, and this principle, which the German govern ment inferentlally charges the United States with violating, was invoked by the American Government when It de manded and received compensation from Great Britain in the celebrated Alabama case. The truth is that be fore the Lusitania sailed. Collector of Customs Malone satisfied himself that there were no guns, mounted or un mounted, on the Lusitania, and that the kind of ammunition she carried was not in contravention of the American law forbidding the conveyance of explosives. Moreover, the British government has given assurances that the Lusitania was not an auxiliary cruiser. As to whether the Lusitania had the kind of bulkheads required -under inter national obligations, it is pointed out that whether she did or not is of no importance beside the tragic fact that a German submarine fired a torpedo into the hull of the vessel. However, the British government is prepared to declare that the vessel was fitted with tho bulkheads necessary to protect her from the usual hazards of sea traffic. Issue Nut to Be Diverted. Nor is the United States to be divert ed from the one pregnant issue of tho cessation of submarine warfare against merchant vessels by the question as to what the United States has done toward inducing Great Britain to permit food stuffs to pass to Germany. Antici pating that Germany might raise this point later, the Administration was careful to emphasize the fact that the negotiations which were conducted in February with both Germany and Great Britain were purely "unofficial." The negotiations failed because Great Brit ain declined to lift its prohibition of trade with Germany and. indeed, sought to give a legal color to its conduct by proclaiming a "long-range" blockade. This Government feels it cannot bar gain over the question of American life. It cannot now go to Great Brit ain and nay: "You must raise your blockade in order that we may obtain immunity from German submarine ope rations." Great Britain's answer would be sharp and decisive. Therefore, the question is solely one between the United States arid Ger many and must remain so, in the view of the high officials. Arbitration Suggestion Embarrassing:. Then there remains the suggestion of a reference to The Hague for set tlement of all cases in which Ger many's responsibility is in doubt. As has been pointed out, this is the most embarrassing feature of the German reply for President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan. They do not believe the country would stand for an interna tional investigation such as Germany has proposed, and they are certain Great Britain would resent it. It is on this proposal that the trend of public opinion will be noted with Che great est care. If Germany would agree to stop sub marine warfare to the extent demand ed by the President while the investi gation was in progress, doubtless, the Administration would be glad to ap prove this solution and might induce Great Britain to assent to it- This would be a step in the direction of peace. But Germany has promised nothing of the kind. JAG0W HOPES TO SETTLE (Continued From First Paice.) newspaper statements by more definite authoritative announcements. Replying to a question. Dr. von Jagow said that Germany from the GERMAN REPLY HOLDS SINKING OF LUSITANIA WAS "JUSTIFIED DEFENSE (Continued From F i - -Ss 1 American steamers Cusrt; j CxM J light: "The American Embassy has al ready been informed that the German government has no intention of sub mitting neutral ships in the war zone, which are guilty of no hostile acts, to attacks by a submarine or subma rines, or aviators. On the contrary,! the German forces have repeatedly been instructed most specificially to avoid attacks on such ships. , "If neutral ships in recent months have suffered through the German submarine warfare owing to mistakes in identification, it is a question only of quite isolated and exceptional cases, which can be attributed to the British government's abuse of flags, together with the suspicious or cul pable behavior of the masters of the ships. Appeal to The Hague Suggested. "The German government, in all cases in which it has been shown by its investigations that a neutral ship, not itself at fault, was damaged by German submarines or aviators, has expressed regret over the unfortunate accident, and, if justified by condi tions, has offered indemnification. "The cases of the Cushing and the Gulflighc will be treated on the same principles. An investigation of both cases is progress, the result of which will presently be communicated to the Embassy. The investigation can, if necessary, be supplemented by an internationat call on the interna tional commission of inquiry, as pro vided by article III of The Hague agreement of October 18, 1907. "When sinking the British steamer Falaba, the commander of the Ger man submarine had the intention of allowing the passengers and the crew a full opportunity for a safe escape. Only when the master did not obey the order to heave to, but fled and summoned help by rocket signals, did the German commander order the crew and passengers by signals and megaphones to leave the ship within 10 minutes. He actually allowed "them 23 minutes' time and fired the torpedo only when suspicious craft were has tening to the assistance of the Falaba. "Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steamer Lusitania, the German gov ernment has already expressed to the neutral governments concerned its keen regret that citizens of their states lost their lives. . "On this occasion the imperial gov ernment cannot escape the impression that certain important - facts having a direct bearing on the sinking of the outset had, been willing to abandon her submarine warfare against mer chantmen in response to a return by Great Britain to the regulations of war regarding contraband generally ac cepted before the war, the specific con dition being the lifting of the embargo on foodstuffs and raw materials now on the list of conditional contraband. "It was not Germany's fault, but Great Britain's," he said, "that the well-meant proposals of the United States for a compromise failed." Foodstuffs Issue One of Principle. "The question of foodstuffs and raw materials," Dr. Von Jagow said, "is not a question of necessity for Germany, but one of principle. Germany has shown, I think, that it cannot be starved out by Great Britain's embargo on foodstuffs. We may be a little short of some one or other particular food product, but we have enough to, live on and keep up the struggle. "The same is true of raw materials, with which, according to the London declaration, belligerents have no right to interfere when they are not specif ically destined for the armed forces of an enemy. "Germany Is able to get along, even if the imports of such materials are cut off. Germany, however, objects to the cool assumption of the British Cab inet that when it is unable to defeat the German armies legitimately on the battlefield it is entitled to try to force the nation to its knees by economic pressure, disregarding all accepted pre cepts and regulations of war. Analogy of Fortress Disputed. "The analogy of the besieged fortress does not apply to Germany. The resi dent who settles in a fortress does so cognizant of the risk and aware that he can leave before the siege begins; but there is no precedent for the siege of the civilian population of a whole na tion in its own land, with no possibility of escaping. Germany will fight such unjustified methods of warfare with all the means at her disposal." Dr. von Jagow said lie had absolutely no information regarding the American steamer Nebraskan, which was dam aged by an explosion in the Irish Sea last week, and, in the absence of any definite news, as to whether the ship was torpedoed or struck a mine, he de clined to express any opinion as to the effect of the incident on the pend ing negotiations. "The Nebraskan, in any event." Dr, von Jagow said, "was not torpedoed with design by a German submarine, The German policy regarding neutral shipping, even in the war zone, had been enunciated clearly. There was no intention of attacking neutral ships." "Are you an optimist or a pessimist regarding the German-American situa tion?" the correspondent asked, as he was taking his leave of the Foreign Minister. "How can I tell how our note will be received?" replied Dr. von Jagow. "I have no means of communicating with the Americans at Washington or of gauging public sentiment. Wireless communication Is rather unsatisfactory. There are no means for cabling and the open wireless messages we are sending are read or interfered with by British stations. We are virtually cut off from America and are working in the dark." Crematorium to Be Dedicated. The -new crematorium and colum barium at the Mount Scott Park Ceme tery will be formally dedicated this morning1. The exercises will begin at 10:30. Dedicatory addresses will be given by Emmet Williams and Roscoe Lusitania may have escaped the at tention of the American Government. "In the interest of a clear and com plete understanding, which is the aim of both governments, the imperial government considers it first neces sary to convince itself that the infor mation accessible to both govern ments about the facts of the case is complete and in accord. "The Government of the United States proceeds on the assumption1 that the Lusitania could be regarded as an ordinary unarmed merchant man. The imperial government al lows itself in this connection to point out that the Lusitania was one of the largest and rastest British merchant ships, built with government funds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried ex pressly as such in the 'Navy List' is sued by the British Admiralty. British Merchantmen Declared Armed "It is further known to the imperial government, from trustworthy re ports from its agents and neutral passengers, that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable British merchantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons and manned with persons who have been specially trained in serving guns. "The Lusitania, too, according to information- received here, had can-, non aboard, which were mounted and concealed below decks. "The Imperial government further has the honor to direct the particular attention of the American Govern ment to the fact that the British Ad miralty in a confidential instruction issued in February, 1915, recommend ed its mercantile shipping not' only to seek protection under neutral flags and distinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised, to attack Ger man submarines by ramming. As a special incitation to merchantmen to destroy submarines, the British gov ernment also offered high prizes and has already paid such rewards. Vessels Not "Undefended." "The imperial government, in view of these facts indubitably known to it, is unable to regard their merchant men in the zone of naval operations specified by the Admiralty Staff of the German navy as ""undefended.' German commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the cus tomary regulations of the prize law, which they before always followed. "Finally, the imperial government must point out particularly that the Lusitania on its last trip, as on earlier occasions, carried Canadian troops and war material, including no less than 5400 cases of ammunition in Nelson. The Grand Army of the Re public will take an active part in the services. John Claire Monteith and Mrs. Fred Olsen will sing. Prayer and benediction will be given by Rev. W. W. Voungson. CO-ED CHECKS FLAMES MISS HELEX JOHN'S BRAVES SMOKE FILLED ROOM TO FIGHT FIRE. Girl Climbs in Building, Armed With Garden Hose, nnd Saves Home Before Men Arrive. ' EUGENE. Or., May 30. (Special.) Helen Johns, a Pendleton co-ed at the University, saw a flame flickering in th window of a. house as she and some other girls passed early last night. The occupants were away, so she ran to a neighbor and told the woman to phone the fire department. Seizing a ga-rden hose she had one of the other girls boost her in through a window, several feet from the ground, into a smoke-filled room, where she played the hose until the firemen arrived. She acted quickly, and the firemen say that her promptness saved the house, but she revolted afterward at the thought of publicity. "We just saw the flames flickering as we passed." she protested. "Don't say anything about us. Say the woman next door did it. She turned in the the alarm. We didn't do anything. It was just a garden hose, and the fire was so small and the firemen came so quickly. It was nothing at all, really, and it all seems too silly to talk about." The origin of the fire is a mystery, as no one was home all day. $40,000 DAMAGE IS DONE (Continued From First Page.) lice, said the shipment was to have been sent a week ago on the Japanese steamer Shensie Maru, but that vessel would not take it and the consignment was being held for another vessel. Shock Rocks Balldings. The shock of the explosion was tre mendous. Buildings throughout the en tire downtown district rocked as if they were about to fall, and hundreds of plate-glass windows fell into the street. E. Moen, quartermaster of the United States coast guard cutter Manning, which was anchored within a few hun dred yards of the scow, saw the explo sion. "I looked toward the barge only a few minutes before the explosion and saw the lights burning and everything apparently ail right," he said. Wide Territory Is Shaken. "When 1 was making a turn around the deck near the stern of the Manning I heard a slight explosion. 1 walked toward the bow to find out if anything had happened aboard our ship. As I reached the bow. the powder scow, lift ed on a pillar of flame a hundred feet high, burst into a million fragments." Residents in the -hill district over looking the bay also saw the flame leap into the air and supposed that a steam er had blown up. The explosion was felt within a ra dius of 33 miles from Seattle, a shock at first thought to have been an earth quake being felt as far north as Ever ett and as far south as Tacoma. Captains and officers of boats coming to Seattle from Bremerton, Poulsbo. I'.agle Harbor and even as far away as Port Ludlow, near the mouth of Hood Canal, report hearing the explosion. "It was quite distinct at Port Lud low," said the purser of the steamer Rosalie, while the master of the steam tended for the destruction of the brave German soldiers who are ful filling their duty with self sacrifice and devotion in the fatherland's service. Sinking Held Justified. "The German government believes that it was acting in justified self-defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at its disposition to pro tect the lives of its soldiers by destroy ing ammunition intended for the enemy. "The British shipping company must have been aware of the danger to which the passengers aboard the Lu sitania were exposed under these conditions. The company in embark ing them, notwithstanding this, at tempted deliberately to use the lives of American citizens as protection for the ammunition aboard and acted against the clear provisions of the American law, which expressly pro hibits the forwarding of passengers on ships carrying ammunition and provides a penalty therefor. The company therefore is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers Quick Sinking Laid to Ammunition. "There can be no doubt, according to the definite report of the sub marine's commander, which is further confirmed by all ottier information, that the quick sinking of the Lusi tania is primarily attributable to the explosion of the ammunition shipment caused by a torpedo. The Lusitania's passengers would otherwise, in all human probability, have been saved. ''The imperial government considers the above-mentioned facts important enough to recommend them to the at tentive examination of the American government. "The imperial government, while withholding its final decision on the demands advanced in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania until re ceipt of an answer from the American government, feels impelled in conclu sion to recall here and now that it took cognizance with satisfaction of the mediatory proposals submitted by the United States Government to Ber lin and London as a basis for a modus vivendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. "The imperial government, by its readiness to enter upon a discussion of these proposals, then demonstrated its good intentions in ample fashion. The realization of these proposals was defeated, as is well known, by the declinatory attitude of the British government. "The undersigned takes occasion, etc. ?

Adair, Northwest agent for the Giant Powder Company, said to night that SO per cent dynamite, such as was on board of the senw, is used only for military purposes in filling submarine mines or for fortifications. It is valued at 17 cents per pound, which would make this consignment worth approximately $3287. The explosion had a peculiar effect on the wireless outfits of the coast guard cutter Manning and the cable ship Restorer, both of which are anchored out in Elliott Bay, in that the receiving sets of both ships were put out of commission. None of the wire less men have any explanation to make as to the reason for this. "There is no possible way in which the city can be held liable for the dam age caused by the explosion," said Mayor Gill tonight. "The dynamite was in the safest place in which it could possibly be kept. It used to be handled on this side, but the harbor master changed things so that Harbor Island is the only place where it can lawfully be transferred now. "Just because it was tied to a city buoy the city cannot be held liable any more than it can for fires that occur."

ORDEAL IS DESCRIBED Man Makes Affidavit That Lieuten ant of General Stafr, OUicr Lieu tenants and Red Cross Officer Were Present. BY ROBERT R. M'CORYICK. (Staff correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. Copyright, 1015. by the Tribune. Published by arrangement.) PETROGRAD. May 4. The following story of the torture by German officers of & Russian soldier in civilian clothes was told to me, though an interpreter, by the victim himself. He told me that almost all of his right ear was cut off with a pair of shears. The interview with the soldierotook place in the library of the Prince of Oldenberg's hospital yesterday (Mon day, May 3) beginning at 3 P. M. Franklin A. Gaylord and F. M. Course translated my questions into Russian and the answers Into English. The victim was Porfiri Panasuk, Ser geant of the One ..Hundred and Forty first Russian infantry. He was acting as a. "scout in civil" (spy) when ar rested by the Germans. At the conclu sion of my interview with him his answers were again read to Panasuk in Russian, verified and, sworn to by him. Man's Own Story Told. The truth of Panasuk's story Is further attested by an affidavit, signed by members of the bureau of inquiry of the Russian army staff, and by Lieu tenant Dieterle, of the German army, who was present when Panasuk gave his testimony before the bureau of in quiry at Lomja. I obtain Panasuk's Btory by a method of questions and aViswers. His story as told in-that form to me is as follows: "Q. Your name? A. Porfiri Gera simovitch Panasuk. "Q. Born? A. Government Kief. County Taraschanse. "Q. Age? A. 26. "Q. Rank? A. Sfergeant 141st In fantry. "Q. What doing when captured? A. Scout in civil, arrested by Lieutenant and four soldiers. "Q: where taken? A.

They asked whereabouts various regi ments; First Siberian army corps. Sec ond Turkestan corps, Second Caucasian corps. Fifth army corps. Nineteenth army corps. Fourth army corps, Si berian. Threat of Tortnre Made. O "Were these corps near there? A They were near there. n What answer did he give? A- He said he knew nothing about it and was not a soldier. "Q Then what did they do? A. They told him that if he told them they would release him: if not they would torture him to death. "O Who were present? A. 1. An officer in epaulets whom the soldiers treated with great deference, with white ahnulrinr belt and regimental No. 7 on round enaulets. Lieutenant of the gen eral staff. 2. Ten Lleutenants'of the Seventh regiment. 3. A Red Cross offi cer with No. 85 on his epaulets. 4. Two snlriiera with guns. "O. Who did the talking A. First, tinder officers spoke in Polish. When he refused to answer they spoke in Rus sian. Second, a Lieutenant called him q. What happened next? A He said they had a right to treat him as a spy, but that neither Russians nor Ger mans had a right to torture a prisoner. Then the officer of high rank ordered in German that scissors be brought. A young officer took them from among the naDers on the table. (KanasuK demon strated that the scissors were a little longer than his index finger.) They said. 'Tell.' He replied. 'I will not.' Then a staff Lieutenant took the lobe of his right ear in the left hand, andf rais ing the scissors, said, "If you don't tell I cut." He replied, "I will not tell.' Then the Lieutenant with a quick motion cut off the lobe of the ear. Q. After he had cut off the lobe did be ask any more questions? A. The same man then said, "Tell, or we will do more.' He replied, "I will not.' Then one under officer took him by the two hands and another took his head. The Lieutenant then cut a slice from the back of his ear quickly. "Q. Was their manner brutal? A.- When first srrested they treated him 100 Tomorrow Only 100 pleasantly and offered cigarettes. But when he refused to answer questions tbeir attitude became angry and re mained so. In all, they cut four slices from hia ear at intervals of about 10 minutes, during which they questioned and threatened him. After that the man who had cut the ear seired his nose and twisted it, and at the same time pinched him in the jaw so hard that he could hardly eat for nearly two weeks afterward. "Q. What time did the cutting be gin? A. About 10 P. M. "Q What followed? A. Two sol diers of the Twenty-second Regiment infantry remained with him; the others left. "Q Did officers say anything before leaving? A. Some words in German he did not understand. And spat on the floor near his feet. "Q What next? A. Before leaving another officer threw him a rag about six feet long and two feet wide and he wrapped his bleeding ears, nose and mouth in it. Q. How did soldiers treat him when alone with him? A. They looked fierce ly at him. but said and did nothing." Prisoner Escapes Krons Captors. "Q- What next? A. Then an offi cer and two soldiers took him down a narrow street. They hurried him and one struck him In the back with the butt of a rifle. He pretended to be hurt and staggered a few steps, then finding a fence on bis lett he Jumped it, be cause he knew there was & wood in that direction. He ran into another fence and climbed that and ran to the woods. He heard the soldiers take the bayonets off their rifles and heard them fire Just before he reached the woods. He did not hear the bullets whistle. "Q- How far from first fence to woods? A. About 100 yards. "Q. What next? A. He walked about the woods all night. In the morn ing a squad of German cavalry caught him. They asked him what had hap pened. He replied a Russian shell had exploded near his hut and caused the injury and. had killed two of bis chil dren. He told them he was going through the Russian lines to live more quietly. They asked his nationality. He said Polish. They asked if he had seen any Russians, lie replied he had not. They told him to go to the right; but he went in another direction to the village of Lira, in the Lomsha govern ment. He traveled all day and then found Russian soldiers. "Q. Of what regiment were the cav alry scouts? A. He does not know. "Q. Describe the man who cut your ear. A. Lieutenant, medium height, stout, small mustache, reddish mus tache, reddish hair." To this he signed: U can confirm that I stated the plain truth. Porfiri Panasuk, 20 April, 1916." Such is the story of Panasuk told to me by the one-eared hero standing in the respectful attitude of a Russian noncommissioned officer before his su periors. That he had shown a patriotism of the purest flame, a courage unequaled by any of the epauletted officers pres ent; that he had received five medals of honor from his commander-in-chief had made no visible impression upon the moujik sergeant. My interrogation was carried on through interpreters, and of course 1 could not understand his words, but 1 eyed him narrowly to detect any ex pression of boastf ulnesti or deceit, and 1 changed the sequence of my questions over in different form as the affidavit shows In my best endeavor to expose falsehood if any there was. In this connection I am glad to re member the principle of war established by our army that peace creates no bar and that the statute of limitations does not run against crimes contrary to the laws or war.
