Secretary of State Condemns
German Methods and Criti
cisms of Government
YORK, June 5. Suggestions
of peace based on a "perpetuation of
Prussianism" and criticisms of the
government and the conduct of the
war which are not constructive, were
condemned by Secretary of fctate
Lansing here today, Prussia having
"wickedly sought war," he secretary
said, it is, the determination of the
American pople that Pru.-ria shall
have wr iinif more war and mure
war, until the very thought of war
is abhorrent to the Prussian mind."
Mr. Lansing toke at the com
mencement exercises of Columbia
university which conferred upon him
and upon Lrd Heading, the British
ambassador, j the honorary degree of
doctor of las.
"In the gigantic task of waging the
war," JJecretary Lansing said, "let
us not continually. look behind to see
where we stumbled, but let us look
forward bo that we do. not stumble
a pain. , For the critic of public af
fairs who is manifestly inspired by
political or Belifsh motives, by con
ceit or by a desire for notoriety, I
have the utmost contempt.

Mr. Lansing declared that force
is the only way "to end Prussianism
because it Is the only thing which
the Prussian respects." lie recog

FIFTEEN SHOTS FIRED.
WASHIXGTO, June 5. The story
of the captain of the French tanker
Radioleine attacked by a submarine
off the -Maryland coast yesterday,
reached the nay department today"
showing that the raider had fired
fifteen shots at the Frenchman from
long range 'before an American de
stroyer .answering a "S. O. S." ap
peared., f 1 t
Following' Is the navy department's
summary of" the Frenchman's story: i
The submarine was -co big that
at first the lookout thought It was
an American destroyer. He was about
six miles from the Radioleine. The
submarine when sighted I?y about
two lengths from a three-masted
sailing ship (probably the schooner
Edward R. Baird. Jr., which later
was bombed and sunk) and the look
out reparted" It to the captain as a
destroyer. But the captain with his
glasses recognized it as a submarine.
The captain was In doubt as to the
nationality so did not fire, but man
ned his guns. He changed his course
from' east to west and the submarine
opened fire, but the Frenchman still
held his fire until the submarine
fired the second time. Then he fir
ed, range about. 12.000 meters.
Eca;te is X arrow.
"The submarine fired between fif
teen and twenty shots. The Frec-'h-man
heard two shot? about fifteen
minutes before he sighted the sub
marine. " He believes that these were
fired to stop the sailing ship.
Th Radeoleine was making good
speed while getting away. No shot
bit her. No damae was done, and
there were no casualties.
"The destroyer passed the Radio
lelne at S:10 making all speed head
ing toward the direction of the sub
marine. Aparently the destroyer did
not see the submarine until the Rad
ioleine changed her course to star
hoard, as 'the captain of the Radio
leine purposely kept between the sub
marine and the destroyer so the sub
marine would not see the destroyer.
"As soon, as the submarine saw
the destroyer he submerged. The
captain did not see the submarine
again and is unable to tell what the
destroyer did because the Radioleine
was too far away when the destroyer
reached the spot where the submar
ine disappeared."

RUPPEL GIVEN
LIFE SENTENCE
Parole Violator From Oregon
Falls Under Habitual Crim
inal Statute
Under the habitual criminal stat
ute of the state of Washington, Will
iam fluppel. parole violator from the
Oregon state prison, has been given
a life terui In the p. niientiary at
Walla Walla. Rupel. who was fcoing
under the alias of William .Snyder,
was tried in Seattle on a charge of
attacking a woman, and Captain Joe
Keller. Oregon panle officer. was
called to Seattle as a witness for the
state against Ruppel.
The habitual criminal statute in
Washington, under wbich Ruppel
was convicted in Seattle, fixes life
sentence as the penalty for men con
victed as many as three times for
assaulting women. It was for this
offense that he was serving in Salem.
Murder Attempted
Testimony showed that Ruppel al
so attempted murder in Seattle and
that he barely escaped with his own
life when he invaded the home of one
of the city fiiemen. . One of Ruppel's
methods of working, it appears, was
to watch the homes of firemen who
were on duty at night, and to go to
the homes when he thought no men
were about. On one occasion he
knocked on a door, and the house
wire answered him from within, but
did not open the door. But unex
pectedly her husband came In by a
back door and met Ruppel at the
front of the house. As a ruse Ruppel
asked to be directed to a certain
place, and while the fUeman was
pointing out the direction Ruppel
thrust a gun against his body and
forced him into the house. The wo
man disappeared into another room,
and when the convict noticed this
he rired at the husband, but missed
At that moment the woman appeared
with a gun and fired at Ruppel. the
bullet plowing a furrow m his scalp.
The fireman and his wire held Rup
pel until the police arrived.
, May Have Iteen Shiicger.
Seattle authorities surpected that
Ruppel was the mysterious slugger
who terrorized women of that city
several- months ago, but no connec
tion with the series of offenses per
petrated by the slugger could be es
tablished at tlie trial.
The Jury that sat in the case was
about half women, Captain Keller
says, and at times thy trial became
sensational.
"Ruppel asked to be allowed to
nake a statement." said Keller, "and
toli the usual story about a cruel
stepfather. I heard a noise, and
there was one of the lady jurors
weeping as if her heart would break.
It took them three hours to bring in
a yerdict.
