By HERBERT TE3IPLE.
(special CotTfrorKient of The Wtihinrtcn Henld.
London, July IT. That the liner Lusi
tania was destroyed with a loss of more
than 1,000 lives by two torpedoes fired by
a German submarine without warning
and not by an explosion of ammunition in
her cargo is the chief feature of the ver
dict rendered today by Lord Mersey, who
presided at the investigation into the
sinking of the Cunarder on May T.
The verdict places the blame thus:
"The whole blame for the catastrophe
rests solely upon those who plotted and
committed the crime. '
Their Aim to Kill.
In the verdict Lord Mersey emphasized
these points:
1. The Lusitania was struck almost
simultaneously by two torpedoes.
2. The liner was attacked not merely
with a view to sinking her but also with
the purpose of causing loss of life.
3. The Lusitania was unarmed She
carried no concealed guns, no trained
gunners and no trained troops. The ess-el
had on board a number of cases of
cartridges which were entered in her
manifest, but had no other ammunition
on boatd.
4 Capt. Turner failed to follow the
admiralty's advice, although full instruc
tions had been elien him
.".. If ("apt. Turner had fully heeded the
advice of the admiralty the Lusitania
might not hae been sunk. However,
blame for the disaster is not attributed
to Capt. Turner.
Lifeboats Approved.
K The Cunard line had not violated
the laws of the Fnited States" in the
case of the Lusitania, as charged by
Germany.
7. The submarine which sank the Lusi
tania did not reveal its identity before
the attack was made, as it carried no
flag.
S. Complaints of the survivors about
the condition of the life boats on the
liner were ill-founded.
9. "Reasonable and practical" meas
ures weie taken by those in charge of
the ship after the attack was made.
"The evidence shows -that the Lusi
tania was an unarmed ship." sas Lord
Mersey "The attack was made without
warning and no opportunity was given
the passengers to leave the ship The
Lusitania was not an armed ship. She characterized as a
cairied no ammunition for use on the by Lord Mersey.
voyage, no marked guns arid no trained
gunners. N'or did the liner carry troops.
In no wise were the laws of the United
States violated.
Hide Admiralty Secret.
"As the manifest showed the Lusi
tania carried a number of cases of car
tridges. There was no secret about this.
"In the opinion of the board of in
quiry, the Lusitania was torpedoed not
alone with the intention of sinking her
but also with the intention of causing
loss of life by destroying passengers."
Lord Mersey declined to discuss the
evidence dealing with the admiralty's
advice to Capt Turner, evidently fear
ing that it would he of use to Ger
many. He said, however, that the
admiralty had devoted anxious care
to the submarine peril and had issued
advice to navigators generally.
Continuing Lord Mersey says:
Cnjitnlii llelil ninmelean.
"The Lusitania was struck with two
torpedoes, w hich hit her almost simul
taneously "Reasonable and practical measures
were taken on hoard the liner after
the attack to insure the safety of
passengers. No loss of life can be
attributed to neglect on the part of
the ship s master. Complaints of wit
nessen ns In the lenWv ennrlltlnn rt
Mlfhnnt! am fll-fnnnriprl "
Boat Areommndntlon Ample.
Lord Mersey stated that the Lusi
tania provided boat accommodations
for 2,fi30 passengers, but the total
number on board when the ship was
destroyed was only 1,339. The total
number of lives lost was 1.19S, of
whom 7S5 were passengers, and 413
members of the crew. Of the passen
gers 124 were Americans and 35 wero
Infants.
Then Lord Mersey referred to the
warning published in New York news
papers by the German Ambassador Just
before the ship sailed. In the view of
Lord Mersey this warning; far from
excusing the crime, only aggravated
it. as It showed that it was deliberate
and planned In advance.
It had been said by the German
government that the liner was carry
ing masked guns and was transport
ing Canadian troops, but this was
baseless invention"

German Foreign Minister and Chancel
lor Drafted Communication. Ber
lin Dispatch Asserts.
Berne. July 17. It is stated on the hest
authority that the Austrian note to
America was sent at German Instiga
tion, and was drafted by Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg and Foreign Minister
von Jagow. One reason for thus using
Austria as a pawn is that she did not,
as did Germany, supply England with
war material during the Boer war, and,,
consequently, cannot immediately be ac
cused of objecting to America's doing
precisely what Germany did herself. In
Austrian official circles, not much tangi
ble results is expected, hut the note.
nevertheless, is considered a clever move.
Another reason for the intervention of
Austria Is that Roumanla lately refused
to allow the transportation of German
war material to Turkey. It is learned
also that It was only owing to strong
pressure from Germany that Austria con
sented to dispatch the note.
London, Jul 17. The Pail Mall Ga
zette, commenting on the Austrian note
to the United States, says:
"Little heed, we imagine, will be paid
by the United States to the feeble note of
the Austro-Hungarian government. The
fun Is to be rounded off by the dispatch
of a similar note by Turkey. It Is scarce
ly necessary to -show that If there Is any
rupture in relations, the United States
will have to reckon with Germany's allies
as well as herself."

would never deny the truth of tlfe story
they told upon the witness stand. It
was on this testimony of Vallon, Rose,
"Bridsle" Webber, and Sam Schepps
that Becker was convicted.
Becker's attorneys were at a stand
still, although It was declared they
were compiling data to warrant them
In asking Gov. Whitman for another
respite for their client.

Atlantic City, July 17. In disposing
of the case of George Dealer, a deaf
mute arraigned today on a charge of
vagrancy. Recorder Gaskill made up
for his deficiency In the sign language
by bringing into play his ability as a
sketch artist. Calling Dealer to the bar
the recorder drew a rough sketch of
the county jail at Mays Landing and
beneath the grim caption, "ninety
days." Dealer vigorously shook his
head in the negative, and. taking the
pencil.- drew a sketch of the Albany
avenue bridge, with a lone figure mak
ing his way towards the mainland.
Then the recorder shook his head,
and Dealer, seizing the pencil again,
crossed out "ninety days" and wrote
beneath It. "thirty days." In the laugh
that followed the recorder scribbled,
"sixty days." beneath the sketch of the
Jail, and Dealer, apparently pleased,
was led from the courtroom.

More than 1,100 towns and cities in the
1'nited States draw a good and unfailing
water supply from national forests, and
some of the biggest irrigation works In
the world ha-e their water supply con
served by the trees belonging to the
United States Government, acording to
Secretary of Agriculture Houston, who
recontly made a thirty-day tour of the
six great forest districts of the West
The Forest Service is one of the bureaus
under his charge, and the Secretary
went into the field to get first-hand Im
pressions of the manner in which this
much-criticised branch of the govern
ment is conducted.
Secretary Houston's opinion of the
Forest Service Is favorable. In a letter
to Chief Forester Graves he declared
himself satisfied that the settlers in tc
region of each of the national forests
were getting valuable help In the form j
of cheap pasturage for their stock, and
a reliable water supply, as well as tim
ber at reasonable prices. He was aston
ished at the extent of the recreational
use made by the public of these wild
tracts, and at the smooth working of
the vast administrative machinery of the
service in Its actual contact with the
settlers -everywhere.
The Secretary penetrated Into the for
est reserves on logging locomotives, au
tomobiles, horseback, and at times on
foot, and talked with forest rangers and
guards, homesteaders, lumberjacks, min
ers and cattlemen.
"I was gratified with the evidences of
enthusiasm, loyalty and devotion to
duty on the part of all representatives of
the department with whom I came In
contact," said he. "I was especially Im
pressed with the Intelligent and sympa
thetic attitude between the Forest Serv
ice and the users of the forests and of
all communities dependent upon them."
In his travels the Secretary learned
that upwards of a million persons an
nually camp, hunt, fish, maintain sum
mer homes or resorts or make trips
through the national forests. In the
Santa Fc forest In New Mexico many
mountain cottages have been built; in
the Coconino and Tusayan forests In
Arizona, bordering the Grand Canyon,
trails and roads must be constructed to
admit the tourists and campers. The to
tal of such work thus far completed In
all of the national forests Is 3,000 miles
of road and Z1.000 miles of trail.
The Angeles forest. In Southern Cali
fornia, has furnished the water to irri
gate a. great tract of desert, and to make
it a marvel of agricultural wealth. The
Sierra forest, at the summit of the
mountain range, stores water for a pow
er project having a 114,000,000 plant.
