. WNDON. July 17. The findings of
J the British court of Inquiry that in
't vestigated the sinking of the Lusitania
were read today by Lord Mersey, who
presided at the hearings. The court
found that the liner was torpedoed bv
J a German submarine and that "the act
t was done not merely with the Inten
J tion of sinking the ship, but also with
the Intention of destroying the lives
of the people on board."
J The vessel was held to have been
unarmed. Conduct of the officers and
J crew was held blameless. Life-saving
- facilities were declared to have been
adequate. The Cunard Line, owner of
-the vessel. Is exculpated from all
t blame. No incompetence or neglect is
J "found. Mishaps attending the launch -
ing of the boats were declared un
avoidable. Passenger' Conduct Praiseworthy.
- . Passengers were declared also to have
conducted themselves in a praiseworthy
manner, except for a slight panic in
the steerage. The vessel's cargo was
a general one, but included 6000 cases
of cartridges. These cartridges did not
explode, according to the findings of
the court.
There were several American surviv
ors in the small audience that listened
.while the report was read. They made
no secret of their disapproval of the
passages exonerating te line and the
captain and commending the discipline
' of the crew. These phases of the find-
ings are expected to have an important
bearing on possible litigation against
.'.the steamship company. Among the
spectators were Walter Webb-Ware.
, rftpresenting . the Vanderbllt family;
r Major J; Warren Pearl and ilrB. Pearl,
..of New. York, and F. B. Jenkins, of
Chicago, survivors; and William Crich.
.ton, of New York, whose wife was lost.
Captains Declared Efficient.
-.: , Lord Mersey, in handing dowa the
---Judgment, scid in part:
"The captain of the ship. Mr. Thomas
.Turner, gave his evidence truthfully
and well. I am quite satisfied that the
"-two captains and the officers are com
Tetent men and that they did their
duty. Captain Turner remained on the
bridge until he was swept into the
- sea and Captain Anderson was working
on deck until ho went overboard and
was drowned:
-i.Tho court hpre praised Leslie M.
Jiortoii, a member of the crew who
shipped at New York, and was act
" ing aa extra lookout man at the time
'the Lusitania was torpedoed, saying:
" "H was only 18 years old. but he
'seems to have exhibited great cour
age, self-possession and resource. He
' was the first to observe the approach
-of the torpedoes and before they had
-touched the ship he had reported them
to the bridge by means of a telephone."
Though knocked off his feet when a
torpedo hit the Lusitania, and later
having to swim for his life. Lord
Mersey said the youth, aided by a mem
ber of the crew named" Parry, righted
collapsible boat and was instrumental
In saving nearly 100 lives.
The court here analyzed the pas
senger list, giving the saved and lost
-by sex and by nationality, and torn
; menting-on the lack of a general panic.
. Passenger In Way In Helping,
j. "Some passengers attempted to assist
,: In launching the boats, and in my
, opinion they did more harm than good "
; Baron Mersey added. "It is. however
,qulto Impossible to Impose any blame

i Of what happened in the engine

Mersey said: "Orders given to the

about them. It is not. however, im

.. the good faith of these witnesses, but
-I think their complaints were ill-founded.
There were doubtless some

the Admiralty had devoted most anx
ious thought and care to questions
arising out of the submarine peril and
that they had diligently collected all
available information likely to affect
the voyage of the Lusitania. I do not
know the officials to whom these du
ties were entrusted. They deserve the
highest praise. Captain Turner was
advised as to the means which. In the
view of the Admiralty, were best cal
culated to avert the peril he was likely
to encounter.
A Blame Placed on Captain.
"It is certain that In some respects
Captain Turner did not follow the ad
vice given him. It may be. though I
seriously doubt it, that had he done so.
his ship would have reached Liverpool
in safety. But the question remains:
Was his conduct that of a negligent or
an incompetent? The conclusion I ar
rived at is that blame should not be
imputed to the captain.
"The advice given, to him. although
meant for his most serious and careful
consideration, was not intended to de
prive him of the rlirht to piorrls. hi.
skilled Judgment In difficult questions
that might arise time after time in the
navigation of ships. His omission to
follow this advice in all respects cannot
fairly be attributed cither to negli
gence or incompetency.
"He exercised his Judgment for the
best, and though others may have acted
differently and perhaps more success
fully, he ought not, in my opinion, to
be blamed. The whole, blame for the
destruction of life in this catastrophe
must rest solely on those who plotted
and those who committed the-crime."
The report will be presented to both
houses of Parliament.

STORIES OFTEN REPEATED
Troop I'roni Heaven Declared to
Have Stampeded German Cavalry
at Jlons -Transport Saved
by Prayers of Crew.
LONDON. July 1. (Correspondence
of the United. Press.) Most clergymen,
both Church of Lngland and noncon
formist, are convinced that England's
cause is just and that Uod is on her
aldo. Some of them actually believe
that angels are helping the British
troops to triumph over tho Germans. A
Church ' of England clergyman at
Southampton writes in hla parUh mag
azine: "The daughter of a well-known
canon of the church knows two officers
who themselves saw the angels who
savta our left wing in the retreat
fiom Mons."
Then he goes on to describe how the
G-irman cavalry in overwhelming
numbers were swooping down on tho
British.
'"Xhey saw between them and the
enemy a whole troop of angels." he
gjes on. "Tho German horses turned
around, terrified, and stampeded. Tha
mn tugged at their bridles, but the
poor Leasts tore away In every direc
tion from our men."
Angello Intervention Credited.
Dr. Horton. a distinguished Congre
gationalism lends the weight of hta
authority to this same story of the
angelic Intervention. In a sermon de
livered at Manchester ho said:
"There is a. story repeated by so
many eye-witnesses that if anything
can be established by contemporary
evidence it Is established of the re
treat from Mons. A section of the line
was in Imminent peril and seemed as
if it must Inevitably be borne down
and cut off.
"Our men saw a company of angela
Interposed between them and the Ger
man cavalry and the horses of tha
Germans stampeded. Evidently the
animals beheld what our men beheld.
The German soldiers endeavored to
bring the horses back to the line, but
they fled, it was the salvation of our
men."
Transport Saved by Prayer.
In the same sermon Dr. Horton told
another story of how a transport ship
in the Dardanelles was saved, as he
believes, by prayer. He said:
"I( had news from the Dardanelles
last week but one. A sailor on one
ot our transport ships told me in the
minj.icBi language now airships of the
enemy came over the vessel dropping
bombs. The captain, who Is a man of
God, gave the order to the men to
pray. They knelt on the deck and
prayed and the Lord delivered them.
The 18 bombs which seemed to be fall
ing from overhead, fell harmlessly into
the sea."

WAR
Wonderful Bersagllerl, Who March
Six Miles an Hour and Climb
Perpendicular Cliffs, Rath
Resistlessly Forward.
BY CABOMS V"llJiOX.
(Copyrlg-ht. 1J. by tlia Chicago Tribune.
Published by Arrangement. )
TNRIM, June ZU Before I came to
Italy, we used 'to sit around and hold
post mortems over the sad remains of
Italy when Germany had finished with
her.
We moaned a bit at the prospective
blows which were to fall, and we hesi
tated for courage to write the K4ng of
Italy and tell htm, just as one friend
to another, that it really wouldn't pay.
I think we were a "little previous."
Indeed. I'm not sure that Italy isn't
going to astonish the world. You know
as well as I do what she has to face.
If you don't, take out your atlas, or
better yet. buy a relief map of that
mountainous country and marvel at
the steep passes that have already been
taken, and shudder at the slaughter
which must be before the rest are con
quered. ,
There is nothing In France aa diffi
cult. Yet the Italians have gone for
ward like a resistless wave; not in ex
aggerated victory, but slowly and
steadily.
From day to day they make progress
and they seem to be making It, at a
slight loss of men. I heard definitely
June 17, which is slightly over three
weeks after the beginning of war, and
a period of time which has already
put an appreciable crinkle In the map
of Europe, that the casualties up to
that time had not passed 22.060 men.
CI I It Sealed. Position Taken.
You know how they do It, don't you?
Old you read of the splendid assault of
30 Bersaglieri on a seemingly unap
proachable pass? It was a sheer wall
of rock, with here and there a half
developed shrub, and It guarded one of
the most Important passes In the
Frlull.
There had been countless assaults
upon It which had all been repelled by
a mere handful of men who were on
the top of the mountain with their
small cannon.
At last the men drew lota for 30 to
scale the clilt at night and try and take
the Austrians by surprise. They went
up that almost perpendicular rock like
fleet, silent chamois, so quietly that
not even a falling stone disturbed the
stillness of the night. They overpow
ered tha surprised sentry and walked
in. on the 40 men who were guarding
the supposedly Impregnable spot and
made prisoners of them.
Have you ever seen these Bersaglieri
marching through the streets, or ever
been in some of those out-of-the-way
mountain spots In tha Summer and
seen them doing their trick mountain
climbing? They are fully aa wonder
ful in their way aa tha Russian Cos
sacks, who do their horsemanship
feats, or the native Indian riders who
are such a marvel to tho French nowa
days. Men March Six Mllen an Hoar.
These- Bersaglieri are trained to
march at a pace of six miles an hour
and keep it up. "That ceases to be
marenmg. you see. and becomes a good,
steady run.
I have seen them going through the
streets of Naples. 2000 strong, their
nea y packs bowing down their barks
a lime aa they bent forward, marching
over these big. flat, uneven paving
stones as if each man had little in
visible Mercury wings attached to his
leeu i tried Keeping up with them
and It waa an Impossibility even at a
run.
They can Are with accuracy, storm
with impetus, approach with the quiet
cunning oi a cat, or doggedly, sullenly
hold a pass until there Is but ono man
left to defend It. They are tireless, ar
dent, obedient, a type of the best soldier
in tne world.
But it is perfectly possible for the
intentions to be good and yet for
failure to be the result If the Inner life
oi tne country la not organised and ar
ranged. This has been the case with
England, who has only given her sons
to die, not Co advance or to gain,
simply because something waa wrong
at the center of the organisation.
Italy has had ten months to observe
to plan, to build. Theoretically, and I
am pot sure but practically also, -she
was as ready when she went Into the
war as Germany was, only on a small
scale, of course.
For months before the war she had
been buying ammunition from France
what could be spared. She had also
been getting a great deal from Amer
ica not ammunition alone: all the ma
chinery with which to make herself in.
dependent when war was actually .upon
"t. i nave neara it stated that ten
tralnloads of ammunition were rnlnr
weekly Into Italy from the Creusot
works In Franca alone.
Conn try Independent nnd Prepared.
Now she Is Independent. She Is not
asking for any ammunition from the
outside. She Is manufacturing It her
self. She doesn't want motors or lorries
or other meoharlcsl ad1um-t of war.1

She has organised her Red Cross

of the stay-at-homes Is favorable In
every respect.
There are faults, probably, and there
undoubtedly will be many mora. But
for a I-atin race which haa never been

observer that Italy has gone Into this

However, and Burean nf Mines
Haa Ant Been Convinced.
OREGON IAN NEWH BUREAU. Wash
ington. July n. The Government haa
been urged to go Into tho copper-smelting
business In Alaska. The request
camo from U. S. Rush, of Ka.aan.
Alaska, near Ketchikan, who wrote the
director ot the bureau of mines sug
gesting that the Government establish
a smeiter at some convenient point in
Southeastern Alaska to handle tha cop
per ore produced in Alaskan mines. -
It would require an act of Congress
to establish a Government smelter In
Aiasaa. ana at present. ilia bureau or
mines is not convinced that It would
bo advlxable to Invest In such an enter
prise, it is understood that at least one
member of Congress from an Kaatern
state has declared his purpose of Intro
aucing a bill making an appropriation
tor a Goverment smelter In Alaska and
als purpose to presa this bill.
Tho complaint of Mr. Rush Is that
tha small copper producer iq Alaska Is
not getting a square deal from the
smelters In British Columbia, where
much of the Alaska copper ore is
shipped. The copper from the Guggen
heima' Bonansa mine in Alaska, of
course. Is shipped to their own. smelter
at Tacoma, with some other of the
Alaska ore. The small producers charge
that tha smelters do not cay thein fairly
for tbetr ore, and undervalue their ship
ments, thus depriving them of a part
of tbelr legitimate earnings. This is
tha old complaint heard from the small
producer In overy copper field.
The Idea of Mr. Rush and others
who are supporting him Is that if the
Government would establlKh and oper
ate Its own smelter In Alatka the In
dividual miners would get fair treat
ment. While this argument in Itself
appeals to the bureau of mines, of
ficials say that a commission of ex
perts has been investigating condi
tions at the leading smelters of the
United States, and Is preparing a re
port recommending a standardisation
of smelter methods. Beyond this the
bureau, at this time. Is not disposed
to go.
