PERFORMED HEROIC
I DEEDS AS SHIP SANK
Fourteen - year - old Kath
leen Kaye Takes Oar in
' Lifeboat When Sailor
Faints and Rows Until
Picked Up.
LONDON. Mny 10.
Even the younn girls nml women on
Ihft LUnltnnla proved themselvm heroine,
duflnir the last few monicntn nml met
their fato calmly or rose to emergcncls"!
Which called for Brent bravery and pres
erve of mind.
Fourteenyear-old Kathleen ICnye was
returnlna- from New York, where ahe had
been vtelttng relatives, Willi n. merry
amlle on her lips ana with n steady pat
ter of reasailrance, she aided Iho steward
who were, filling on of the lifeboats.
Soon after the Rlrl took her own place
In the boat one of the bailors fainted un
der the strain of the efforts to Bet the
boat clear of the maelstrom that mnrked
where tho liner went down. Miss Kayo
took the abandoned oar and rowed until
the boat was nut of danger.
A graphic story of Ihe circumstances
that marked the liner's last moments was
given by'Jamos H. Brooks, of New York.
"lAll the lifeboats had been swung out
Thursday," he said, "nml the work it
launching them was at once commenced
The attempt In the ense of the llrst boat
was a trnglc failure. Woiiipii and chil
dren were taken first, and the boat Has
filled with them, except for men to row
The boat was lowered until within Its
own length of the water, when the for
ward tackle lammed and Its occupants,
with the exception of three, were thrown
Into the sea.
"On the decks of the doomed vessel
absolute calmness prevailed. There
was no rushing nbout and nothing re
sembling a panic In a few Isolated
cases there were signs of looter la on
the pati. of women, but that was all. I
did not ''notice any concerted effort to
distribute life belts, and I was unable to
obtain one.
"The efforts made to lower tho boats
had not aparntly mt with much succss.
had not apparently met with much suc
cess. Those on the port side had swung
Inward and could not be used, while the
collapsible boats, lashed beneath them,
could not be got at.
"Women were standing unite calmly,
waiting for an opportunity to enter the
boats when they should be iclcnsed by the
men from the davits. The clnvltn, liv
this time, were touching the water, the
hip having sunk bo low. The hildge
deck was only four feet or so from the
surface of the sea.
"Losing no time, tho men passed the
women rapidly Into the boats, places
having been found for all the people
about the midship section. I stepped Into
one of the lifeboats and attempted to as
sist In getting It free I saw that the list
was so great that the davits pinched the
gear, rendering It Impossible for us to get
away before the ship went down, so I
dived Into the untcr
"I swam as hard as I could, and no
ticed with feellng3 of apprehension the
menacing bulk of the huge funnels as
they loomed over my head. I expected
them momentarily to fall on me and
crush me, but at last I Judged myself to
be clear
"I turned around to watch the grcar
ship heel over. The monster took a
sudden plunge, and I saw a crowd still
on her decks and boats filled with help
less women and children glued to her
side. I sickened with horror at the
Bight."
Tho babies of the second cabin made
perh&ps the deepest Impression of all
on those who wime In contact with them.
f3trs. Lohden tells of nne woman whoso
baby died In her aims before she was
Picked up. Another, who found on being
lifted Into a boat that her baby, too,
had died, snlcl
'Let me bury mv baby."
Then she lowered tho dead child Into
the water.

REMEDY OF FRIENDS
Germany Should Be Prevailed
Upon Peacefully to Stop
Warfare Speaker Says.
Moral suasion should be u-sorted to by
the Powers of tho world to bring Ger
many to n ieal!.atlon of the fact that
she has sunk to the lowest depths of
Infamy in sinking the Lusltaniii. It the
peoples of the world concentrate In this
effort, Germany will voluntarily make
complete reparation for the deed
This Is tho substance of an addrers de
livered by Daniel Batchelor, of German
town, today before tho Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting of Friends, now being
held In tho Friends' Meeting House, 15th
and Race streets.
"Germany," he said, "must be Held to
strict acountablllty for the sinking of the
Lusltanla, but he must be held by some
other means than war. If our nation
stands behind President Wilson and gives
hlin tho necessary moral support, evciy
tlilng will be brought to a satlsfjictory
nettleinent. This end would be greatly
facilitated liv tho conccntiatlon of our
mental faculties on that nation, thus
bringing her to a sense of her degrada
tion by moral suasion.
This stntement was strengthened by
Leila Marten, of Ellswater. England, who
spoke at some length on the power of
mental concentration, citing an Instance
of a financier who was physically and
financially wrecked by evil thoughts di
rected n gal nut him nnd later restored to
health and happiness when these blttor
thoughts were chnnged to love.
Edward J, Darnell, assistant clerk of
the meeting, also spoke on the Lusltanla
disaster, nnd said: "The whole world
seems to have forgotten the Bible pas
sage. Vengeance is Mine, salth the
Lord.' "
After n business session, the attention
of tho meeting nns turned to prison re
foim. Jesse H Holmes, of Swarthmoro
College, said the system of Imposing
fines ns a punishment for crimo has
"placed crime hi America on the bargain
counter with the prlco appended." kuli
ens Webster, of this city, said tho reason
crime figured so greatly In tho news of
this country Ib that the children are not
properly Instructed In propeity rights
He asserted Unit the dishonesty of
American boys Is appalling.

Sailors from tho German vessels here
say that within a month a desperate of
fart Is going to bo mado to destroy tho
city of London by fire. The men who
made this statement are the sumo ones
who said three weeks ago that the Lusl

also say that within two weeks one of the
British ships sailing out of this port Is
to be torpedoed.
The sailors said that a big fleet of Zep

ADMIRALTY LAWYER
CONDEMNS GERMANS
William C. Conlen Says "Mur
der" on Lusitanla Violated
International Precepts.
Germany's regulations of International
law icqulro tho removal of the crew of
any vessel captured or attacked as n,
lrl7o of war and fall to excuse tho sink
ing of tho Lusltanla, according to Wil
liam C. Conlen, of the admiralty law
firm Of Conlen, Drlnton k Acker. He Is
sued a statement today taking Issue with
John F Lewis, another admiralty attor
ney, who defended the sinking of tho
ship.
Mr. Conlen lays emphasis on tho fact
that Germany repeatedly has held In the
past that passengers and crews nlways
should bo removed from a vessel which
boa been attacked as an enemy ship. The
e.nct declaration of German International
law on the subject, according to Mr. Con
len, Is:
'" '21 Captured ships and merchandise
should he conducted to tho seat of a
prlre court of the belligerent captor to
he thete adjudged.
"' '25. In exceptional coses, Bhlps or mer
chandise may be sunk or destroyed If
their preservation would endanger the
sci'urlt of the warship on the success
of Its operations.
" 'lleforo the destruction of the ship Its
crew ntiixt be plnced In security, and
nil papers on board and all other articles
which those who are conducting tho seiz
ure shall consider Important to establish
the vnllditv of tho capture, must be
taken on board the wnrshlp.
" -il. In Ihe case provided In article S3,
It will he erimillv pioper to sink or do
sttnv, with the ship, nny merchandise
"hlcli Is not susceptible of confiscation,
and wlilrli, by reason of tho special clr
eumrliincei, ennnot be transported to the
wmhIiip In this case tho owner of tho
merchandise shall have a right to Indem
nity.' MR. CONLEN'S STATEMENT
.Mr. Conlcn's statement In full follows:
"With dun respect, 1 cannot agrco with
Mr. Lewis 1 fall to understand on
what theory of International law Mr.
Lewis would Justify the deliberate murder
of uonenmbntants of the Lusitanla,
whether English subjects or American
citizens. It Is, of course, true that nn
American taking passage on a British
merchant essel In time of war must look
to the piotectlon of tho vessel's flag,
hut I ilo not see how there can be nny
question that the act of the German Gov
ernment In dollberatelv destroying tho
lives of hundreds of Innocent passengers,
whether Biltlsh citizens or citizens of
neutral nations, was a gross nnd out
rageous violation not only of Inter
national moralltv. but of the long-no
ccpted, clearly established rules of Inter
national lnw.
"While I, of course, agree with .Mr.
Lewis that Germany had a right, under
International law, to capture and, If cir
cumstances demanded, to sink the Lusi
tanla, a practice which finds many prece
dents In our wnrs of ISIS and the Civil
War, I have yet to hear of a precedent
or of a rule which Justifies the murder
of n merchant crew or passengers on a
merchant vessel, merely because It is
not considered practicable or convenient
to follow the usual courso of sending tho
prize to port for trial In a prize court.
The subject has been discussed more than
once nt the meetings of the Naval Wnr
College. For Instance. In the discussions
for 180j, you will find tho rule Inld down
In tho following Innguage:
"The generally enunciated rule In le
gard to destruction of un enemy's vessel
Is, 'an enemy's ship can be destroyed
only after her crow has been placed In
sarety." ir tills Is to be strictly Inter
preted, there would bo considerable doubt
as to whether the deck of a wnr vessel
whoso commander fears that his prize
is In Imminent danger of recapture be
cause of the approach of his enemy,
would bo a 'placo of safety.' It Is held
that the propeity and persons of bellig
erents are subject to the hnznrd of war
when coming within the field of opera
tions, ft would scnrcelv follow that such
persons should be forced to assume such
hnznrds, particularly when It Is a mat
ter of doubt before adjudication bv tho
court whether the vessel Is n nroncr
Hubjcct for seizure
QUOTES "BETTER AUTHORITY."
"However, there Is even better author
ity than this to cover the present situa
tion, nnd, ns the document to which I
refer Is not generally nccesslble and hns
not been translated Into English. It may
biy worth while to glvn you the exact
reference I refer to tho proceedings of
the International Naval Conference, held
in London, that drafted the ' Ill-fated
Declaration of London, which so far has
met with few friends In the present wnr.
Prior to the opening of the conference.
Great Britain Invited the United States
and the various Powers of Europe to
Mihmlt preliminary statements embodying
their views of International law upon
various topics to bo discussed.
"One of these euhjects related to the
destruction of neutral prizes before
condemnation by a prlzo court. In sub
mitting their views on this topic, tho
10 different governments naturally In
cluded an expression of their views upon
tho general principles of the destruction
of neuttal prizes. The expression of
these views is Included in the official
report of tho conference, published In
French by the British Government, of
which I was so fortunate to seeurn n
copy in connection with another matter,

from London. I nlio call your attention
to the official English blue book contain
ing correspondence and documents relat
ing to thb conference, which is supple
mentary1 to the dillclal proceedings. Hero
nre tho official views of the British
Government as to tho rules of Inter
national tla,v upon tho destruction of
crlzes:
" 'Tho duty of a belligerent captor Is
to bring In, for adjudication by a prize
court, any merchant ship which he has
seized. Where this Is Impossible, sho
may. If alio Is an enemy ship, ho de
stroyed after removal of the crew and
papers; If the nationality of the ship
's neutral, or if there Is anv doubt lis
to the nationality, she should be dis
missed, for her destruction cannot bo
Justified ia between tho neutral owner
and the captor by nny necessity on the
part of n belligerent.'
LORD GREY'S COMMENT.
"In the official letter of Instructions
to the British delegates. Lord Urcy fur
ther commented upon this rule:
' 'It Is recognized by the universally
acknowledged principles of International
law that all prizes ought, If possible, to
bo brought Into a prize court, nnd ought
not, generally npeaklng, to be destroyed
or otherwise dealt with prior to con
demnation. It Is, however, generally nd
inlttcd that In cases In which tho captor
finds himself unable, without compromis
ing hlB own snfoty or affecting tho buc
ces of the military operation on which
he la engaged, or owing to .hln distance
from any homo port, to bring nn enemy
merchant vessel In, ho mny destroy her,
nfler removing the pnssengcrs, crew and
papers; nnd that If It be established that
she Is In fact an enemy vessel, such de
struction Involves the enptor In no lia
bility.' "Ho much for the British view of Inter
national law. It Is more to the point,
bowover, to notice that Germany adopted
nn Idontlcol stand Her view of the situa
tion Is expressed In three paragraphs of
her cfflclnl memorandum, nnd which refer
not merely to destruction of neutral prizes
but to destruction of nil prizes.
"The official statement of the views of
Get many and of Great Britain, and which,
of course, accord with the views of tho
I'nltcd Stntes, leaves little to be said. It
Is t!ie sarno view which Is token by nil
lending authorities on tho subject, and,
even without authorities to support It.
would represent tho most elementary dlc
tatec of humanity and civilized conduct.
The plea that tho crime wns excused by
notlco that It might bo committed seema
to mo ridiculous. Even taking tho notlco
at Its fnco value, American citizens hnd
no right to assume from It nn Intention
to commit murder on the high sens and
to destrov tho llcs of Innocent citizens.
At most, they itrp Instilled In Inking It
as a notice that Germnny would exorcise
the exceptional rilvllegn f destroying
mer.hant vessels under the accepted con
ditions of International lnw and civilized
soci"tv The announcement gave no no
tice of nn Intention to commit an act of
murder on the high s,oas, and, even It It
hnd, American citizens surelv would havo
been Justified In disrcgnidlng it ns an idle
thte.it to commit nn unthinkable crime.
"As to the arming of the Lusitnnia nnd
her possible convoy, there Is no rule of
International law which would In tho
slightest degree make cither of these.fncts
a lustlilratlon for tho outrage on Amer
ican citizens which has been committed.
She was not a warship nt the time of her
destruction, but a merchantman engaged
upon her usual route nnd entitled to the
protection which Internntlonnl law hna
accorded to merchantmen from time Im

LUSITANIA INQUEST
OPENS AT QUEENSTOWN
Coroner Gills Sinking of Ship "Cold
blooded Murder."
QUEENSTOWN. May 10.
The formal Inquest Into the death of
.1. H. King, of Lockport, III., ono of tho
Lusltanla's dead, began yesterday, hut
was adjournal without any evidence
being taken until next week. Mean
while tho official Inquiry by tho British
Board of Trade and the Admiralty of
ficials, which will be presided over by
Lord MerBcy. will begin todny. Tho
Coroner, In opening the Inquest, declared:
"This Is n case In which a powerful
wnrllke englno attacked nn unarmed ves
sel without warning. It was simple bar
barism nnd cold-blooded murder."
The foreman, nfter tho adjournment,
denounced tho sinking of the Lusltanla as
n "dastardly act." It Is probable that
when tho Jury comes to render a formal
verdict they will tako tho occasion to
denounco bitterly tho torpedoing of the
Cunardcr.
Tho American Embassy has begun nn
Investigation through Its two military
captains, who arrived today, and, al
though It Is admitted that the outcome
of this Inquiry can In no way affect tha
responsibility of Germany for the drown
ing of neutrals and noncombntants, still
tho Investigation will embrace nil tho
facts.
Wesley Frost, the United States Con
sul, Is obtaining nffldavlta concerning nil
the material fncts of tho torpedoing of
the Lusitnnia from Miss Jessie Taft
Smith, of Bracevllle, O. ; Dr. Howard
