portunity 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 megaphone to leave the ship within ten minutes. He actually allowed them 23 minutes time, and fired the torpedo only when suspicious craft were hastening to the assistance of the Falaba.

Expresses Regret for Deaths. "Regarding the loss of life by

Use of Neutral Flags.

"The Imperial government, further, has the honor to direct the particular attention of the American government to the fact that the British admiralty In a confidential instruction, issued in February, 1915, recommended its mercantile shipping not only to seek protection under neutral flags and distinguishing marks, tout also, while thus disguised to attack German submarines by ramming:. As a special in^wWafion to merchantmen to destroy .submarines, the British government

Wf offered high prizes and has already ^aid such rewards. "The imperial government In view of these facts, Indubitably known to it, is unable to regard British merchantmen in the zone of naval operations, specified by the admiralty staff to the German navy as 'undefended.' German commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the customary 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 6,400 cases of ammunition intended for the destruction of the brave German soldiers, who are fulfilling their duty with self-sacrifice and devotion in the fatherland's service.

sinking of the British passenger Lusitania. the German government has already expressed to the neutral 'governments concerned its keen regret that citizens of their states lo^t their lives. "On this occasion, the imperial government cannot escape the impression that certain important facts having a direct bearing on the sinking of the Lusitania may have escaped the attention 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 necessary to convince itself that the information accessible to both governments about facts of the case is complete and in accord. "The government of the United States proceeds on the assumption that the Lusitania could be regarded as an ordinary unarmed merchantman. The imperial government allows itself in this connection to point out that the Lusitania was one of the largest and fastest British merchant ships, built with government funds as an auxiliary cruiser, and carried expressly as such in the 'navy list' issued by the British admiralty. "It is further known to the imperial government from trustworthy reports from its agents and neutral passengers that for a considerable period 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 cannon aboard, which were mounted and concealed below decks.

seeking with all the means of warfare at its disposal to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying ammunition intended for the enemy. "The British shipping company must have been aware of the danger to which the passengers aboard the Lusitania were exposed under these conditions. The company in embarking them, notwithstanding this, attempted 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 prohibits the forwarding of passengers on ships carrying ammunition and provides a penalty therefore. The! company, therefore, is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers. There can be no doubt according to the definite report of the submarine's commander, which is further confirmed by all other information, that the quick sinking of the Lusitania 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 attentive examination of the American government. "The imperial government while withholding its final decision on the demands advanced in oonnection with the sinking of the Lusitania until re-

Freedom from Food Follies

Shredded Wheat

with fresh fruits and green vegetables a food that clears the cob-webs from the brainbox and gives muscular vim and energy that enable a man or woman to do things. Being ready-cooked and ready-to-serve, Shredded Wheat is a boon to the tired housekeeper in Summer. Get the "health habit" by eating it for breakfast with milk or cream. Then try it for supper with berries or fresh fruits. Your grocer sells it.

celpt of an answer from the American government, feels Impelled in conclusion to recall here and now that it took cognizance with satisfaction of the mediatory proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London, as a basis for a modus vivendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. The imperial government byits readiness to enter upon a discustion 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. "Signed. "JAGOW."

TRAIN SHED CASE HEARD.

Chamber of Commerce Asks Protection At Big Four Station. The petition of the local Chamber of Commerce to compel -the Big Four Railroad company to construct train sheds at the station In this city was heard before Judge Thomas Duncan, chairman of the Indiana public utilities commission, in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Monday morning.

Ora Davis, attorney for the chamber, introduced evidence to show that those coming Into the station would have to walk more than 600 feet in. the rain before shelter could be reached. Witnesses for the prosecution were George J. Nattkemper, George W. Greenleaf,

F. Ball and other members of

the Chamber of Commerce. F. L. Littleton, attorney for the railroad, tried to introduce evidence through the testimony of II. F. Houghton, general superintendent of the road, that the expense which the railroad would be put to comply with the demands of the chamhe*- -'ruld be out of reason considering the patronage the road receives from Terre Haute. He also said the tracks in question were used for freight trains, and in consequence the sheds would necessarily halve to be constructed at such height that there would be but little protection afforded.
