MARCONI SEES BOMBS BRBPPEB
ON LONDON; TELLS OF HORROR
LONDON, Sept. 9, "If I were
Count Zeppelin, I would protest be
fore the world against the kaiser
using my invention as I saw Zeppe
lins used last night," Guglielmo Mar
coni, noted Italian inventor, told the ;
1 '
United Press this afternoon.
"How sad and sick at heart Count
Zeppelin must be," continued Mar
coni, "If my invention were used to
kill harmless men, women and child
ren like that I would shout out my
protest to my own king and before
the entire world.
"t don't know how many people
were killed last night, but if there
w T ere 59,000 slain, it would not have
changed the course of the war.
Deaths and fires have no move
effect upon the war in such a case
than if they had been caused by
lightning. The Germans might iust

as effecting the allies was concerned."
Marconi was silent a moment. Then
he slapped his desk with a resound
ing smack.
"Thank God, they can't kill with
my invention!" he said. Zeppelin,
who has given his life to perfecting
airships, is a sad figure in the field of
science. The kaiser, out of pity.for
him alone, ought to stop this sense
less massacre—this dirty-dirty work,
but I know the kaiser and I know
that he won't order it stopped."
"Have you met the kaiser?" I
asked.
"Yes," replied Marconi. "Ten
years ago I had dinner with him in
Rome. It wound up in a semi
quarrel. I told him the Germans
had stolen my invention and he got
angry. I consider him a forceful
man. but egotistic. He never for
gets for one second he is em

BERLIN,via London, Sept.
9. Germany expressed regret
for the loss of American lives
in the sinking of the Arabic,
but states positively that 110
idemnity for such loss can be
granted the United States.
The toxt of the note was
made public here tonight.
The expression of regret is
whole-hearted and without
equivocation. The German
government says that it
"deeply regrets'' that lives
were lost, not merely specify
ing American lives, but ap
parently including the lives
iof all non-combatants. This,
in a measure, is an evident
acceptance of the principle
insisted upon by President
Wilson that the lives of all
non-combatants even when
traveling on belligerent ships
should be held sacred.
