"The imperial government has sub jected the communication of the American government to a thorough investigation. It entertains also a keen wish to co-operate in a frank and friendly way in clearing up a possible misunderstanding which may have arisen in the relations between the two governments through the events men tioned by the American government. "Regarding, firstly, tlie cases of the American steamers Cashing and CJulf light. The American embassy lias already been informed that the Ger man government has no Intention of submitting neutral ships In the war zone, which are guilty of no hostile act*, to attacks by a submarine or sub marines or aviators. On the contrary, the German forer* have repeatedly ltecn instructed most specifically to atoid attacks on such ships. ' "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 cases, which can be to the British government's abiiße of flags, together with the suspicious or culpable be havior of the masters of the ships. "The German government, in all cases in which it has been shown by its Investigations that a neutral ship, not itself at fault, was damaged by German submarines or aviators, has expressed regret over the unfortunate ! accident and, if justified by conditions, has offered indemnification. Appeal to Hague Suggested "The cases of the rushing and the Gulflight will be treated on the same principles. An investigation of both cases is in progress, the result of which will presently be coniunicated to the embassy. The investigation can, if necessary, be supplemented by an in ternational call on the International Commission of Inquiry, as provided by Article 111 of The Hague agreement of October 1 8. 1907. "When sinking the British steamer Falaba. the commander of the Ger man 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 tied and sum moned help by rocket signals, did the German commander order the crew and passengers by signals and mega phone to leave the ship within 10 minutes. He actually allowed them 23 minutes time and fired the torpedo only when suspicious craft were has tening to the assistance of the Falaba. Sinking of the laisitania "Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steamer Lusitania, the German gov ernment has already expressed to the neutral governments concerned its keen regret that citizens of their states lost their lives "On this occasion the Imperial gov ernment, however, cannot escape tlie impression that certain important facts having a direct bearing on the sinking of the liusitania 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 gov ernment considers It first necessary to convince itself that the information accessible to both governments about the facts of the case is complete and in accord. "The Government of the United States proceeds on the assumption that the I.usitania could be regarded as an unarmed merchantman. The imperial government allows itself in this con nection to point out that the I.usitania was one of the largest and fastest British merchant ships built with gov ernment funds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried expressly as such in the 'navy list' issued by the British ad miralty. Clinrge I.usitania Was Armed "It is further known to the imperial government, from trustworthy reports from its agents and neutral passengers, that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable British mer chantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons, and manned with persons who have been specially trained in serv ing guns. The I.usitania, too, accord ing to information received here, had cannon aboard, which were mounted ami concealed below decks. "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 mer cantile shipping not only to seek pro tection under the neutrai flags and dis tinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised, to attack German sub marines by ramming. As a special in citation to merchantmen to destroy submarines the British government also offered high prizes and has al ready paid such rewards. "The imperial government, in view of these facts indubitably known to it,* is unable to regard British mer chantmen in the zone of nnvai op erations specified by the admiralty stnJT of the German navy as 'undefended.' German commanders consequently nre no longer able to oltserve tlie custom ary regulations of the nrize law, which they l»eforc always followed. "Finally, the imperial government must point out particularly that the .Lusitanla on its last trip, as on earlier occasions, carried ranadian troops and war material, including no less than 5.400 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. "The German government believes that It was acting in justified self defense in seeking with all tlip means of warfare at its disposition to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying ammunition lntcndpd for the enemy. Blame Placed on Cunard I,lnc "The British shipping company must have been aware of the danger to which the passengers aboard the T,usi tania were exposed undpr thesp con ditions. Tlic company in embarking tliem. notwithstanding tills, attempted deliberately to use Hie lives of \mcri can citizens as protection for tlic am munition aboard, and acted against the clenr provisions of tlic American law. which exprossly prohibits tlic forward ing of passengers on sliips carrying ammunition, and provides " penalty tlierefor. The company, therefore Is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers. "There be no doubt, according to the definite report of the sub marine's commander, which is further confirmed by ail other information that the quick sinking of the T,tisitania is primarily attributable to the ex plosion of the ammunition shipment caused by a torpedo. Thp T.usttania's passengers would otherwise, in all human probability, have been saved American Efforts Appreciated "The imperial government considers the above-mentioned facts important enough to recommend thpm to the at tentive examination of the American government. "The tmnTial government, while withholding- Its final decision mi the demands advanced <t, connection with the slutting of tlic l/iisitanin until re ceipt of an answer from «i»e American government, feels impelled, in ,-on chision. to'reca'l her« and now that it took cogniz-ancc with satisfaction of 'he mediatory proposals submitted by the l'nite<| States government to TVr l'n and Tendon as p basis for a modus vivcndl for conducting Uic maritime HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH 6 Let the Nemo "Vacation Special") $o Solve Your Summer Corset Problems j WJ| tof average figure, either slender ZZSZ&&.S2 One Hundred Bar Harbor Chairs Special Tuesday at Material is the kind of cool, strong P* batiste you get in regular $3 corsets.

"The Imperial Rovernment, by its readiness to enter upon a discussion of these proposals, then demonstrated its sood intentions in ample fashion. The realization of these proposals was de feated, as is well known, by the declinatory attitude of the British gov ernment. "The undersigned takes occasion, etc. "JAGOW," WHILE GRAND ARMY PASSES IN REVIEW [Continued i'rom First Page.] placed over the "little green tents," and the rifles of the firing squad had echoed over the last "eampkground," I and the bugles had called "taps" j again," the thousands of folks trol-1 leyed, tramped, motored, drove or I jitneyed back from the cemeteries and put in the remainder of a holi day as well as the weatherman and their Memorial Day plans would permit. When the Bell.s Tolled Aside from the part the old soldiers bore in paying the trlnute, Harrisburg observed the day in much the same old way. In the churches yesterday there was much of the occasion's sig nificance in sermon and in song. In several places of worship the veterans attended services. At noon, of course, the churches and the Courthouse, and even some of the flrehouses, tolled their bells for live minutes. And if you were a self-respecting patriotic sort of citizen you paused and re moved your hat. Tlie Hand Concerts The big thing in a municipal way J on the program was the band con certs at Reservoir. The Municipal Band pounded out its first concert of the season this afternoon, and this evening there will be another by the same band from 8 to 10 o'clock. Scores of baseball games were on during afternoon and morning and tennis and golf occupied hundreds of enthusiasts at the country clubs, both the Harrisburg and the Colonial, and at the Reservoir, Island and Twelfth street. During this afternoon there was no golf on the Reservoir links, however, as it was deemed safer not to permit playing when there were so many hundreds of people in the prk. At the country clubs and at a score of nearby dancing resorts there were afternoon programs and more of it scheduled for to-night. The Army Passes At 1.45 o'clock the parade, includ ing the veterans of Posts 58, 116 and 620, the veterans of the Spanish- American War, the Sons of Veterans, Boy Scouts and other military or ganizations, including the Governor's Resinol will heal your skin No matter how long yon have been toUurcd and disfigured by itching, burn ing, raw or scaly skin humors, just put a little of that soothing, antiseptic Res inol Ointment on the sores and the ■ 1 suffering stops right there!

There was the usual string of motor cars bearing the veterans who could no longer march. And the train of autos was a little longer than last year and a little longer than the year before; next year there'll be more autos.

And when the right of the line reached the gates the band swung in to the funeral I march from Saul. The Salute °l' "Sleeping Soldiers" | As the marching men passed the I long rows of perfectly aligned graves that somehow reminded one ever so much of sleeping soldiers, the rifles were reversed. The fluttering flags on the graves might have been the pass ing salute of the marchers who had gone before. The memorial services at the cem etery were more than ordinarily im- I pressive and then came the salutes and then "taps." The weatherman, 'tis true, could not have behaved better; but for those for whom the celebration was held, it really didn't matter so very much. The comparatively few of the Grand Army who marched out to the ceme teries to-day quite naturally always prefer to have the sun with them; the remainder are past caring, they're marching beyond the sun.
