fSHEPARD NOBWEEI, COMPANY TBEMONT ST. WINTER ST. TEMPEE PE. LUSITANIA CARRIED NO GUNS. Had Aboard 4200 Cases of Cartridges For Small Arms, Not Classed as Ammunition.

NEW YORK, May Winter, head of the passenger department of the Cunard Steamship Company, declared today that the Lusitania carried no guns, mounted or unmounted, and no ammunition of any kind. "It is Mr Winter said, "that she had aboard 4200 cases of cartridges, but they were cartridges for small arms, packed in separate cases, and could not have injured the vessel by exploding. They certainly do not come under the classification of ammunition. The United States authorities would not permit us to carry ammunition, classified as such by the military authorities, on a passenger liner. For years we have been sending small arms cartridges abroad on the Lusitania.

"The Lusitania had 1250 shrapnel cases but they were empty. There was no explosive of any sort aboard. As to the report that the Lusitania had guns aboard I cannot assert too strongly that it is positively untrue. There were no guns whatever aboard. The Lusitania was an unarmed passenger steamer.

Furthermore, she never had been armed and never carried an unmounted gun or rifle out of port in times of war or FULL LIST OF SAVED FROM NEW ENGUND FIRST CABIN.

NEW YORK, May Bernhard Dernburg, former Colonial Secretary of the German Empire, In a talk with representatives of the press here tonight, reiterated and emphasized statements he made in Cleveland yesterday, holding that the German Government was justified In its action of sinking the Lusitania.

Dr Dernburg said the act merely showed the determination of Germany in carrying out its announced policy of not allowing any ships carrying munitions of war and supplies to reach British ports when they could be prevented from doing so. am Dr Dernburg said, Germany regrets the loss of life of Americans through the sinking of the Lusitania, but sufiicient warning was given. an incident such as the Lusitania affair, a submarine cannot give the necessary warning. The Lusitania was a fast boat. It could speed out of range of a submarine in a short time.

this reason the German Government, through its embassy in Washington, gave the warning to Americans before the ship sailed. That was the next best thing that could be done. "Every person seeking passage on a vessel crossing the Atlantic can obtain" the information whether that vessel is carrying munitions of war and Stands the chance of meeting the fate the Lusitania met. desire of the German Government is to keep peace and continue er friendly relations wiUi Dwaburg, Embassy Not Worried.

The Germans are trying to cripple Great Britain by cutting off her food supply.
