Since the commander of the submarine was obliged to assume from his wide ox- pertence in the area of maritime war that only English steamers and no neutral steamers versed this war area without flag and markings, he attacked the vessel with a torpedo, in the conviction that he had an enemy vessel before him. “‘Some time after the shot the Commander saw the vessel had in the mean time hoisted the American flag. As a consequence he, of course, re- frained from any further attack, Since the vessel remained afloat he had no occasion to concern himself fprther with the boats which had been launched, “It results from this without a doubt that attack on the steamer Nebraskan was not meant for the American flag, nor is It traceable to any fault on the part of the com- mander of the German submarine, but it is to be considered an unfor- tunate accident.

It 1s not known whether the attor- neys for Becker are now prepared to produce Marshall and have him re- peat his declaration that he did not see Becker meet Rose and Webber in the so-called “Harlem conference,” which was the essential act in estab- lishing that Becker was in a con- spiracy to kill Herman Rosenthal. Chief Judge Willard Bartlett of the Court of Appeals made public to-day, at his office in Brooklyn, his reply to @ letter sent to him by Harford T. Marshall, an attorney interested in the Becker defense and formerly lawyer for “Bridgie” Webber. Mr. Marshall's letter stated, in effect, that, as counsel for Webber, soon after Webber's arrest, he was the recipient of # confidential communication from his cllent to the effect that Webber, Rose and Vallon were about to faston the murder of Rosenthal on Becker, in order to save their own necks. Judge Bartlett's letter to Mr. Mar- shall reads: “T am in receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., relative to the Becker c . ‘IT am at a loss to understand why the facts as therein stated sould be communicated to me, inasmuch as neither the Court of Appeals nor any Judge thereof has any power or juris- diction in the matter.

Unparalielled precautions on the part of the White Star Line attended the departure from this port to-day of the steamship Baltic for Liverpool with 312 passengers and 15,000 tons of cargo, a great part of which was made up of war munitions for Great Britain. The Baltic was scheduled to leave her Chelsea pier at noon, but great piles of boxes labelled “explosives” and crates of aeroplane parts were stili piled up on the pier at that hour and it was announced that the boat might not back out into the river until 5 o'clock this afternoon. Am extra force of watchmen was on guard at the entrance to the pier and only passengers showing tickets and vouching for friends who accom- panied them were admitted Inside the portals, The friends of passengers were not allowed on the boat, nor were newspaper reporters permitted to ascend the gangplanks. For the first time in the history of this port the luggage of passengers was opened and examined. Every trunk, sultcase and bag was unlocked and the contents were explored by the fingers of agents of the White Star Line, Heretofore it has been sumMfi- clent for passengers to identify their baggage on the pier. Only longshoremen known to the stevedores of the White Star Line} were employed in stowing the cargo. The decks of the Baltic were piled high with automobiles, auto trucks, tractors and ditch digging machines, Around the main deck astern was piled a barricade of sand bags. The markings at the Baltic's bow showed that she was drawing thirty- four feet at the pier, She was loaded with cargo to the capacity of her holds and decks and her Plimsoll line ‘was awash at noon. No advance list of passengers was given out by the White Star line, and it was not announced if any Amer- ieans were on board. The Baltic carried 22 first cabin, 140 second cabin and 150 steerage passengers, and they were a pretty sol looking lot as they lined the rail hile the task of loading the remainder of the cargo was under way. “WE HAVE STAKED ALL,” THE KAISER IS QUOTED Petrograd Hears He Said “if Enemy Is Victorious Germany Will No Longer & , LONDON, July 15.—The Evening Star's Petrograd correspondent to-day cabled that the German Kaiser, in addressing Landsturm regiments leaving Frankfort for the Russian battle front, declared: ‘We have staked our all.

We must save our country.” The Kaiser, the corr ported, appeared “aged, gray.” ondent re- ervous and Presumably Frankfort-on-the-Main was meant.
