V I ATTACKS ON SHIPS; ASKS MORE FACTS Berlin Government Replies to President Wilson's Note. CALLS LUSITAN I A A CRUISER United States Asked to Investigate Asserts tiner Carried Mounted Guns and a Cargo of Ammunition Justifts Sinking of tne Fa I aba. Washington. May 31. The Cerman reply to the American note sent after the sinking of the Lusitania wa rereived in Washington last right from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin and made public here. The following la the text of the German note: "The undersigned baa the honor to submit to Ambassador Gerard the following answer to the communication of May 15 regarding the injury to American interests through German submarine warfare. The Imperial government has aub Jected the communication of the American government to a thorough lnvesj ligation it entertains also a keen jfh tp eCh0vn tn a frank and friendly way In clearing up a possible misunderstanding which may have risen fc In the relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the American government ' Regarding, firstly, the cases of the American steamers Gushing and Gulflight The American embassy ha already been informed that the Ger man government has no intention of submitting neutral ships in the wsr tone, which are guilty of no hostile acts, to attacks by a submarine or submarines or aviators On the contrary, the German forces have repeatedly been instructed most specifically to avoid attacks on such ships. Cites Mituae of Flags. "If neutral ships in recent months have suffered through the German sub marine warfare, owing to mistakes In Identification. It Is a question only of quite Isolated and exceptional case which can be attributed to the British government s abuse of flags, together with the suspicious or culpable behavior of the masters of the ships. "The German government, in all eases In which It has been shown by Its investigation that a neutral abip. not itself at fault, was damaged over the unfortunate accident, and if Justified by conditions, haa offered Indemnification. "The cases of the rushing and the Gulflight will be treated on the same principles. An Investigation of both cases Is tn progress, the resuat of which III presently be communicated to the embassy The investigation can If necessary be supplemented by an international Pell on the Interna tlonal commission of Inquiry, as pro Tided by artle III of The Hague agree ment of Octrber 18. 1S07. Justifies Sinking of Falaba. ' When sinking the British steamer Falaba. the commander of the German submarine had the intention of allowing the passengers and crew a full opportunity for a safe escape Only when the master did not obey the order to heave to. but fed and summoned help by rocket signals, did ; the German commander order th : crew and passengers by signals snd 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 Palaba. ' Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steam er l.usltanla the German government has already expressed to neutral gov ernments concerned. Its: keen regret that citizens of their states lost their lives. 'On this occasion the Imperial go 1 ern:nnt. hosever. cannot escap the impression that certain Important I facts having a direct bearing on the sinking of the l.usltanla may have es caped the attention of the American j government. In the interest of clear and com plete understanding, which is the aim of both governments, the imperial governmept considers it first necessary to convince itself that the In for matlon accessible to both governments about the facts of the case Is com plete and In accord Call Lusitania a Cruiser. Tl., government of the I'nited States proceeds on the assumption that the Lusitania could be regarded as an ordinary unarmed merchant man 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 :unds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried expressly as such In the navy list' Issued by the British admiralty "It la further known to the imperial government from trustworthy reports from its agent f and neutral assengers that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable Hrittsh mer chantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons and manned with persn.t who have been specially trained in serving guns. The Lusitania, loo. ac

REGRETS

cording to Information received here had cannon aboard bu b wars mount ed and concealed belos decks. To direct the particular attention of the American goeeraaieut tu the fact that the Pritisb admiralty . it. a confidential Instruction issued In February. Isle, recommended ita mercantile shipfdag not only to seek protri tlen under neu trsl flags and distinguishing marks, but also wkUe thus disguised to attack German submarines by ramming. As a special t&rttattcn to merchantmen tc destroy submarines. tbt British government also offered high prixes and has already patu such rewards Says UM Carnsd War Materia' The imperial government la view of these facta indubitably known to It. is unable to regard British merchant men In the son of naval operations specified by the admiralty staff of the German navy as undefended.' Germau commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the customary regulations of the prlxe 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 leas than : .4u cases of ammunition Intended for the destruction of brave German soldiers who are fulfilling their duty with self-sacrifice and devotion in the fatherland's service. The German government believes it was acting In Justitiell self-defense tn seeking with all the means of warfare at its disposition to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying am munition for the enemy. Puts Blame on Ship Owners. ' Tlit British shipping company must have been aware of the danger to which the passengers aboard the Lusitanla were exposed under these condi tions. The company in embarking them, notwithstanding this, attempted deliberately to use the lives of Amen can citizens as protection for ammu nltion aboard and acted against the clear provisions of the American law. which expressly prohibits the forward lng of passengers on ships carrying ammunition and provides a penalty therefor. 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 submaline's commander, which is further confirmed by all information, that the quick sinking of the Lusitania is pri marily attributable to the explosion of the ammunition shipment caused by a torpedo. The Lusitania s passengers -ould otherwise. In all human probability, have been saved "The imperial government considers the above mentioned facta important enough to recommend tbem to the attentive examination of the American government. Withholds Final Decision. The imperial government. while withholding Its final decision on the

demands advanced in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania until receipt of an answer from the American government, feels impelled. In conclusion, to recall here and now thl it took cognisance with satisfaction of the mediatory proposal submitted by the I'nited States government to Ber lln and London as a basis for modus vivendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. The Imperial government by its readiness to enter upon a discus L. I slon of these proposals, then demonstrated its good Intentions In ample fashion The realization of these pro posals was defeated, as is well known, by the declinatory attitude of the Brit sh government. "The undersigned takes occasion, etc. JAGOW." NAMES ON WORKS OF APT Men of Gemus Have Not Always Signed Productions That Will Live Forever. It appears that many of the works of the old masters are not signed. Experts rarely rely on signatures alone in determining the authenticity of an old work, but trust rather to their knowledge of the painter's technic, says the Philadelphia Record. False signatures can be easily detected. Spirits of wine or turpentine will usually remove a name of later date than the painting In the course of time signatures often become very difficult to find, fainted originally In a shade slightly lighter than the ground. ierhape. they sink in. dark en. and merge into the ground color or they are almost rubbed away by successive cleanings. Recognizable one day In a specially favorable light they may not be visible again for weeks. Kxperts sneak of "wlllo thewlsp " signatures, and many collectors have encountered accidental strokes and cracks that tantallzlngly suggest a signature, though it can never be made definite On the other hand there have been remarksble cases of such marks, after careful study, re solving themselves into a famous name. Sometimes the painter's name Is most ronspirous. as, for example, tn Raphaela "Sposallxio" at Milan Proud of having surpassed bis mas ter the youthful genius wrote on a frieze In the very center of the can vas.
