TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: “You now have before you the text of the note to Germany—the note which it would have been my official duty to sign of state. I a had I remained secretary you to sit in judgment upon my decision to resign rather than to share responsibili for it. I am ure you will credit me with honorable tives, but that is not enough. Good entions could not atone for a mis- take at such a time on such a subject and under such circumstances. If your verdict is against me, I ask no mercy; 1 gesire noue if I have acted unwisely. A man in public life must act accord- ing to his conscience, but however con- scientiously he acts, he must be pre- pared to accept without complaint any condemnation which his own errors may ing upon him; he must be will- ing to bear any deserved punishment from octraciem to execution. But hear me before you pass sentence.

SEVEN CALLS Burning, Gasoline Torch A succession of calls for the fire de- partment, beginning early in the morn- ing, made about e record day for the department on Thursday, as seven were recorded before it was time for the firemen, to seek slumber again at night. However, all were of a minor character; and the sum total of the loss from the seven was small, while their variéty was large. They began at 1.10 in the morning, When the autochemical went to an un- occupled house on Second street own- ed by the Shetucket company and used 43 gallons of chemical in extinguishing a considetable blaze there. At 7.07 in the morning a fire was discovered on the coal dock near the | C. B. Rogers shop on the West Side. Three gallons of chemical used by the autochemical company put this out. Once more the same company re- sponded at 8.32 to a call to a chimney fire at the house No. 137 Baltic street, which is occupied by Fred Fells and owned by Jobn Weiland. The chemi- cal company from the Falls station 1so responded to this and three gal- ions of chemical were used. A few minutes before noon there was a call from the home of John Har- FOR FIREMEN Busy Day Thursday for Department But All on Minor Mat- . ters—Began in Farly Morning—Dock on Fire, Rubbish and Automobile Furnish Va- riety—Two Chimney Fires. rington on Hinckley Hill for a chim- ney fire. Mr. Harrington had the fire out by the use of water before the au- tochemical arrived and tried to inter- cept them on the way &0 as to save them climbing the hill, but was unable to_do so. 5 From then until evening wes a slack time, but at 8.33 p. m. the autochemical was called out to look after a blaze that had started emong some rubbish at the foot of Rose place. It was ex- tinguished without trouble. Just as the autochemical had return- ed to the centrel station, and before it had had time to back in, a call came from the garage of P. Cicarelli at the corner of Willow and Chestnut streets, where an employe with a _gasoline torch with which he was doing some soldering had ,the torch blaze up and set fire to the floor. The torch was thrown outside end three galions of chemical put out. the fire on the floor. About noon chemical company No. 2 from the West Side station was called to Maple street, where the automobile of Hyman Schwartz had backfired and had blazed up while it was in front ot his home at No. 23 Maple street. The fire was put out with chemical. not only destre it, but with equal fer- vor we pray for it, but we differ ir- reconciliably as to the means of se- curing it. If it were merely a per- sona] difference, it would be a matter of little moment, for all the presump- tions are on his side—the presumptions that go with power and authority. He is your president, I am e private citizen without office or title—but one of the hundred million of inhabitants. “But the real issue is not between persons; it is between systems; and I rely for vindication wholly upon the strength of the position taken. Force or Persuasion? “Among the influences which gov- ernments employ in dealing with each other there are two which are pre- eminent and_ antagonistic—force and Dersuasion. Force speaks with firm- ness and acts through the ultimatum; persuasion employs argument, courts investigation and depends upon nego- tiation. Force represents the old sy tem—the system that must p: v Dersuation represents the new system —the system that has been growing, all too slowly, it is true, but growing for 1900 years. In the old system war is the chief cornerstone—war which at its best is little better than war at its worst; the new system contemplates an universal brotherhood established through the uplifting power of ex- ample. Standard of Old System. “If I correctly interpret the note to Germany, it conforms to the stand- ards of the old system rather than to the rules of the new, and I cheerfully admit that it is abundantly support- ed by precedents—precedents written in characters of blood upon almost every page of human history. Aus- tria furnishes the most recent prece- dent; it was Austria’s firmness that dictated the ultimatum against Ser- bia, which set the world at war. Every ruler now participating in this un- paralleled conflict has proclaimed his desire for peace and denied responsi- Dility for the war and it is only char- itable that we should credit all of them with good faith. They desired peace, but they sought it according to the rules of the cld system. They believed { that firmness would give the best as- surance of the maintenance of peace and, faithfully following precedent, they went so near the fire that ghey were, one after another, sucked %¥nto the contest. Never before have the frightful follles of this fatal system Leen so clearly revealed as now. The most clyilized and enlightened—ave, the most Christian of the nations of Burope are grappling With each other s if in a death struggle. They are sacrificing the best and bravest of their sons on the battlefield; they are converting their gardens into ceme- teries and their homes into houses of have filled the air with thunderbolts more deadly than those of Jove and they have multiplied the perils of the deep. Adding fresh fuel to the flame of hate, they have daily devised new horrors until one side is endeavoring to drown non-combatant men, women and children at sea, while the other side seeks to starve non-combatants, men, women and_ children, on land. And’ they are so absorbed in alternate retallagions and in competitive cruel- ties that they seem for the time be- ing blind to the rights of neutrals and deaf to the appeals of humanity.

German Contention Irrelevant. “Whatever may be the conten- tions of the imperial German govern- ment regarding the carriage of con- traband of war on board the Lusi- tania or regarding the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in the view of this government these contentions are ir- relevant to the question of the legal- ity of the methods used by the Ger- man naval authorities in sinking the vessel. Principle of Humanity. “But the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special | circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the cases, principles which lift it, as the imperial German government will no doubt be quick to recognize and acknowledge, out of the class of ordinary subjects of diplo- matic discussion or of international controversy. Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steam- er, primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passengers and carrying more than a thousand souls who had mo part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sunk without so m as a challenge or a warning and that men, women and children were sent to their death in circumstances un- paralleled in modern warfare. Duty of America to Protect “The fact that more than 100 American _citizens were among those who perished made it the duty of the government of the United States to speak of these things and once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the at- tention of the imperial German gov- ernment to the grave responsibility which the government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in this tragic occurrence and to the indisputable prineiples upon which that responsibilty rests. Contending for Rights of Humanity. “The government of the United States is contending for something much greater than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. 1t is contending for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of human- ity, which every government honors itself in respecting and which no government is justified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and au- thority.

This principle the govern- ment of the United States under- stands the explicit instructions issued on August third, 1914, by the imperial German admiralty to its commanders at sea to havevrecognized and em- bodied as do the naval codes of all other nations and upon it every trav- eller and seaman had a Tight to de- pend. It is upon this principle of humanity as well as upon the law founded _upon this principle that the United States must stand. Willing to Act as Intermediary. The government of the United States is happy to observe that Your Excellency’s note closes with the in- timation that the imperial German | government is willing, now as before to accept the good offices of the Unit- ed States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the government of Great Britain by which the ¢haracter and conditions of war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any Intimation or suggestion the other may be willing to have it convey and cordially invites the imperial govern- ment_to make use of its services in this way at its conveniences. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a par- tial accommodation of interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing conflict Justice of German Government. “In the meantime, whatever ar- rangement may happily be made be- tween the parties to the war, and whatever may in the opinion of the imperial German government have been the provocation of the circum- stantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea, the gov- ernment of the United States confl- dently 10oks to see the justice and the humanity of the German government in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neu- trals invaded. Renew Representations. “The government of the United States, very earnestly and very sol- emnly renews the representations of its note transmitted to the imperial German government on the 15th of May and relies in these representa t-ions upon the principles of humani- ty, the universally recognized under- standings of International law and the ancient friendship of the German nation. Asks for Assurance of Safety of Amer- ican Lives and American Ships. “The government of the United States cannot admit that the procla- mation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American ship- master or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on Merchant ships of belligerent na- tionality. It does not understand the imperial German government to ques- tion those rights. It understands it, also, to accept as established beyond question, the principle that the lives of non-combatants cannot lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unre- sisting merchantman and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient pre. caution to ascertain hether a sus- pected merchantman is in fact of bel= ligerent nationality or is in fact car- rying contraband of war under a neu- tral flag. The government of the United States deem it reasonable to expect that the imperial German gov- ernment will adopt the measures nec- essary to put these principles into practice in respect to the safeguarding of American lives and American ships and asks for assurances that this will be done. “ROBERT LANSING, “Secretary of State ad interim” EPILEPTIC PATIENTS OUTGROWING MANSFIELD Will Soon Have 100 Where Accom- modations Are for 80. Dr. William L, Higsins of Coventry, a director of the Colony for Epileptics in Mansfield, recently said that there were at present 81 patients in the in- stitution and 15 attendants. Arrange- ments have been made for 20 more patients. With this increase the num- ber of patlents will be 100. 'The build- ings at present in use were erected to accommodate only 80. It will be seen from this that when the century mark is reached the institution will be con- siderably crowded. At the last session of the general assembly provision was made, on the recommendation of the committes on appropriations, for the transfer of the schools for imbeciles at Lakeville, con- ducted by the late Dr. Georgze H. Knight, to the colony for epileptics. The commission on the school and the commission on the colony have ap- pointed a joint committee from their membership.to eaITy out the intentions of the general assembly. The commit- tee on the part of the school consists of Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin and Dr. George Bloomer, both of Hartford, and Willlam O’Connor of Norfolk. The committee representing the colony is made up of Z. R. Robbins of Norwich, E. H, Deming of Farmington and Wil liam ' J. Barber of Harwinton. It is expected that the joint committee will hold a meeting in a short time to make arrangements for its preliminary work, The statute requires the two institu- tions to act in unison in their equip- ment, Water will be furnished both in- stitutions from the same source of supply, and both will be heated and lighted from the same center. Judge Marvin said Thursday that he did not think Dr. 'Bloumer ‘would be able to act. with the joint committee for some time, as he understood the doctor in- tended to take a western trip that might keep him out of the state for some weeks. The doctor may, however, appoint a substitute to act on the committee for him. If the site for the buildings for the school for imbeciles is not selected by August 15, Governor Holcomb will have the power to select the site. This provision was inserted in the law so as to prevent delay in carrying out its purpose. Scientists have estimated the age of a pine tree in New Zealand at 1,300 years.
