TRAIN BANDITS LOOT FLYER MAKE ESCAPE

Hold up L. & N. Passenger in Early Morning Hours and Rob Mail and Baggage Cars.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 10.— Posses of officers and railroad detectives early today were scouring the country around Greenville, Ala., 60 miles south of here, in search of four bandits, who near that place shortly before 2 o'clock this morning, held up and robbed Louisville & Nashville fast train No. 37, bound from New York to New Orleans. No word of the success of the chase has been received here at an early hour.

The bandits, after forcing the engine crew to abandon their engine, cut loose the mail, baggage and express cans, ran them a short distance down the track, turned a full head of steam on the engine and started it southward with no one in the cab and then looted the cars. The value of the loot obtained has not been ascertained. The passengers were not molested.

Conductor Phil McRea, of Montgomery, at first was reported to have been killed by the bandits. Later it was stated he was found dead sitting on the steps of the observation car of his train and no wound could

bar

found on

his body. It was said the bandits flrsd one shot, but that went wild. The bandits boarded the train at Greenville, according to reports from passengers. Two of the men boarded the rear end of the baggage car and the other the tender. When the train pulled out of Greenville the men climbed over the tender into the engine and forced the engineer to stop. The crew was ordered out of the cab and the bandits cut loose the three front cars. After running the cars a short distance down the track the bandits cut loose the engine and started it on its wild run. The engine came to a halt near Garland, Ala., from lack of steam, after running about forty miles.

None of the bombs exploded, and all were hidden in the bags of sugar, tho Kirkoswald's officers said.

Six of the bombs were found in one sack of sugar which burst as the steamer was discharging its cargo with slings. The bombs were round and small and rolled on the vessel's deck. Another sack contained three bombs.

The bombs were all alike. Where the explosive had been placed was sealed with soft tallow or grease, placed over the opening apparently with the idea of producing combustion in the heat of the hold. Beneath the grease on each bomb was a percussion cap. None of the bombs had been affected by the heat. The sacks containing them had been taken from the ordinary cargo holds.

GERMANY REFUSES TO GUARANTEE SAFETY

Continued From Page One.

neutral ships without further formality all merchandise proceeding to Germany, as well as all merchandise coming from Germany, even when neutral property. Just as it was also with the Boers, the German people is now to be given the choice of perishing from starvation with its women and children, or of relinquishing its independence. "While our enemies thus loudly and openly proclaimed war without mercy until our utter destruction was accomplished, we were conducting a war in self defense for our national existence, and for the sake of peace of an .assured permanence. We have been obliged to adopt a submarine warfare to meet the declared intentions of our enemies and the method of warfare adopted by them in contravention of international law.

Must Protect Germany.

"With all its efforts in principle to protect neutral life and property from damage as much as possible, the German government recognized unreservedly in its memorandum of Feb. 4, that the interests of neutrals might suffer from the submarine warfare. However, the American government will also understand and appreciate that in the fight for existence, which has been forced upon Germany by its adversaries and announced by them, it is the sacred duty of the imperial government to do all within its power to protect and save the lives of German subjects. If the imperial government were derelict in these, its duties, it would be guilty before God and history of the violation of those principles of highest humanity which are the foundation of every national existence. "The case of the Lusitanla shows with horrible clearness to what Jeopardizing of human lives the manner of conducting war employed by our adversaries leads. In the most direct contradiction of international law, all distinctions between merchantmen and war vessels have been obliterated by the order to British jnerchantmen to arm themselves and to ram submarines, and the promise of rewards therefor, and neutrals who use merchantmen as travelers thereby have been exposed In increasing degree to all the dangers of war.

Upholds Lusitania Sinking. "If the commander of the German submarine which destroyed the Lusitania had caused the crew and passengers to take to the boats before firing a torpedo this would have meant the sure destruction of his own vessel. After the experiences in sinking much smaller and less seaworthy vessels, it was to be expected that a mighty ship like the Lusitania would remain above water long enough even after the torpedoing to permit passengers to enter the ship's boats. Circumstances of a very peculiar kind especially the presence on board of large Quantities of highly explosive materials defeated thi* expectation. In addition it may be pointed out that if tho Lusitania had been spared, thousands of cases of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies and thereby thousands of German mothers and children robbed of bread winners.

Will Protect Americans.

"In the spirit of friendship wherewith the German nation has been imbued towards the union and its inhabitants since the earliest days of its existence, the imperial goverment will always be ready to do all it can during the present war also to prevent the jeopardizing of lives of American citizens. The imperial government therefore repeats the assurances that American ships will not be hindered in the prosecution of legitimate shipping and the lives of American citizens in neutral vessels shall not be placed jeopardy. "In order to exclude any unforeseen dangers to American passenger steamers, made possible in view of the conduct of maritime war by Germany's adversaries, Gorman submarines will be Instructed to permit the free and gafe passage of such passenger steamers when mado recognizable by special markings and notified a reasonable time in advance. The imperial government, however, confidently hopes that the American government will assume to guarantee that these vessels have no contraband on board, details of arrangements for the unhampered passage of these vessels to be agreed upon by the naval authorities of both sides.

Neutral Ships Needed.

"In order to furnish adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic for American citizens, the German government submits for consideration a proposal to increase the number of available steamers by installing In passenger service a reasonable number of neutral steamers under the American flag, the exact number to be agreed upon under the same condition ds the above mentioned American steamers. "The imperial government believes it can assume that in this manner adequate factlities for travel across the^Atlafttic ocean can be afforded American citizens. There would, therefore, appear to be no compelling necessity for American citizens to travel to Europe in time of war on ships carrying an enemy flag. In particular, the imperial government is unable to admit that American citizens can protect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board.

England's Stated Policy.

"Germany merely followed England's example whon she declared part of the high seas an area of war. Consequently, accidents suffered by neutrals on enemy ships in this area of war can not well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all times exposed at the seat of war on land when they betake themselves into dangerous localities in spite of previous warnings. If, however, it should not be possible for the American government to acquire an adequate number of neutral passenger steamers, the imperial government is prepared to Interpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the American government of four enemy passenger

steamers for passenger traffic between North America and England. Assurance of free and safe passage for American passenger steamers would extend to apply under the identical pro-conditions to these formerly hostile passenger steamers. "The president of the United States has declared his readiness in a way deserving of thanks to communicate and suggest proposals to the government of Great Britain, with particular deference to the alteration of maritime war. The imperial government will always be glad to make use of th? food offices of the pre3ident and hopes that his efforts in the present case, as well as In the direction of the lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas, will lead to an understanding. "The undersigned requests the ambassador to bring the above to the knowledge of the American government and avails himself of the opportunity to renew to his excellency the assurance of his most distinguished consideration.

OFFICIALS SEE UTILE CHANCE OFAGREENENT

of the reply and some of this advisers have been making suggestions with reference to the course that should be pursued.

Officials find little in the note on which it appeared that the negotiations could be further prolonged The United States had dSvoted attention to the principle that Americans should be able to travel on the high seas on unarmed and unresisting belligerent merchant ships of any nationality In accordance with previously recognised principles of international law. Assurances had been aslceot thai oeflore any destruotion would be attempted the visit and search of peaceful vessels and the transfer of passengers and crew to a place of safety would be accomplished. It was recognized that Germany in its latest note had ignored this vital question and had shifted now emphasizing the conditions under which it would promise complete immunity from danger to Americans traveling on Amerioan ships, a situation which since Germany's circular note with reference to neutral vessels received May 11 had not been called into question.

Veiled Threat in Note.

The expression by Germany of "confident hope" that the United States "will assume to guarantee that these vessels have no contraband on board, details of arrangements for th6 unhampered passage of these vessels to be agreed upon by naval authorities on both sides," left the implication in the minds of many officials that Germany was prepared to destroy American passenger ships if they were found to be carrying contraband. Even though passenger and crew of a ship were transferred to a place of safety the destruction of the vessel for carrying contraband has been held by the United States to be in violation of international law except in an extreme case.

The reference in the new note to the Lusitania tragedy created a profound impression. After having asked the United States in the flr^t place to consider that the Lusitania was in reality an armed auxiliary cruiser ana carried high explosives, which the American government in its note contradicted, the German government, it now seemed, had formally justified the action of the submarine commander in sinking the vessel, thereby refusing to disavow the act as the United States had requested. The statement that the German submarine could not have halted the vessel without submitting his boat and crew to danger of destruction and the assertion that it was not expected that the Lusitania would sink immediately after being torpedoed but would remain afloat while passenger.* were removed to her boats, was taken to mean that Germany held that regardless of whether the Lusitania was armed the submarine commander took a proper course in torpedoing the ship without warning.

The argument that England by violating international law in her embargo on neutral commerce with Germany had begun a policy of starvation for Germany's civilian population, was viewed by officials as entirely irrelevant. The United States has insisted that its relations with one belligerent are not to be confouncec witn its controversies with another, and that the Lusitania case constitutes a separate question which must be settled apart -i

from any negotiations this government may have with other nations. It was recalled by some officials that Herr Von Jagow, the German foreign minister, only yesterday In a published interview announced that England had not succeeded in starving Germany, and that the blockade policy had failed. In view of this announcement officials were not inclined to attach much weight to the starvation argument.

Argument Is Disputed.

The view that Americans on board belligerent "ships were entitled to r.o more protection than neutrals would be on land in a war zone, was vigorously disputed by officials, who pointed out that Jurisdiction of thisldbfeliigerent on land was oomplete, wHlWAtoe high seas are Jointly owned by-»H: stations.

The only definite proposa^/ftnade by""*" Germany to change the present status —the suggestion that four enemy ships could sail under the American flag if neutral passenger facilities proved inadequate—was considered certain of rejection because aside from other consideration of prinoiple Involved, the guarantee against any Interference United States could not undertake to with the lawful shipment of contraband from its shores to any of the belligerents. There is no federal statute which wonld be Invoked In this oonnection and it always has been recognised as a fundamental right of merchants in neutral countries to trade in contraband, the burden being upon the belligerent to capture the cargoes on the high seas.
