Since the Prussia and the republic of the west, German and American statesmen have in fact always stood together in the struggle for freedom of the seas and for the protection of peaceable trade. In the Internationa! proceedings that have been xince congucted for the reg- ulation of the laws of maritime way- fare, Germany and America have jointly war the German government declared its willingness to ratify the declaration of London and thereby subject itself to the use of its ndval forces to all the restrio- tions provided therein in favor of neu- trals. Germany likewise has been always tenacious of the principle that war should be conducted against the armed and organized forces ol an enemy coun- try, but that the enemy civillans popula- be spared as far as possible from the measures of war. The im- periel government cherishes the definite hope that some way will be found when peace Iy comcluded, or perhaps earlier, to regulate the law of maritime war in a manner guaranteeing the freedom of the seas, and will welcome it with gratitude and satisfaction if it can work hand-in- hand with the American government on occasion. ny Not Gulity, TR THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 11 1915. therefor, and neutrals who use mer- chantmen as travelers thereby have been exposed in an Increasing degree to the dangers of war. “It the sommander of the German subd- marine which destroyed the Lusitania had oaused the crew and passengers to take to the boats before firing a torpedo, this would have meant the sure destruction of his own veasel.

Bomb Placed Aboard Minnehaha Cause of Explosion and Fire HALIFAX, N. 8, July 10—~A bomb placed aboard the Atlantio transport lner Minnehaha, probably while it lay at its pler in New York, caused the explosion and fire at sea, in the opinlon of the offi- cers of the steamer, which put in here for examination today. The explosion occurred in No. 8 hold and was of terrific force; shaking the ves- #el from stem to stern.
