N THE President’s latest note to Germany, now in the hands of the German Foreign Office, he declares in so many words thet, | in believing the Lnsitanis to have been an armed vessel, the German Government was “misinformed.” The President’s assurance was based upon the report of United States officiale whose responsibility for the strictly neutral attitude of this nation bound them to ascertain the character of the Lusitania’s fittings and cargo before she sailed from this port. At the Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Lusitania, began yesterday in London, the,first point brought out was Lasitania was not armed and that she was never fitted out as transport. The commander of the vessel declared under ceth that ship wes not armed either for offense or defense, and that she eartied no masked guns. The word of the United States Government needed no indorse- ment. Yet corroboration from the Lusitania’s captain may have an effect upon some minds on both sides of the Atlantic. We are aware that the German people have been from the first sbeolutely cure that the Lusitania carried guns mounted for use. Nor has the German Government or the German press made any move to disturb that conviction. On the contrary, German newspapers, com- menting this week on the arrest of Stahl, sneeringly remark: “and what of port officials who gave false testimony? Or again: One is justified in asking whether ft fs a plan to shut the mouths off or render suspicious in advance, those witnesses ‘who testify to anything against England and against America ‘which permitted the armed Lusitania to leave port. What evidence is going to persuade the German public that it has indeed been misinformed on this point? As affairs now stand, even before the German Government for- mulates ite next message, it would seem eminently desirable that the German press and the German people should admit the possibility thet this nation, acting through its regular agents, did conscientiously search the Lusitania and is not lying about what it found. ———_-4-———____ ANYTHING BUT SIDEWALK GRATINGS. a HE people of this city will welcome any assurance that the new By Testers sr nt tbe vetinted y bartrou see i At a bearing eet for to-day the Public Service Commission makes 8 fresh effort to find an adequate sanitary system.
