British Government Blamed for Loss of Life Upon Falaba WASHINGTON. April .-In an of ficial statement today at the German embassy quoting a message from Berlin, the government places the responsibility of the loss of life on board the British steamer Falaba upon the British govern ment reiterating Germany's warning to neutral passengers on ships crossing the war aono. military necessity is given as the reason for option of (submarine which prevents them from saving lives. The embassy message was as follows: "Tho German ambassador has received the following official message from Ber lin: 'A report from the submarine has not yet been received. However, accord ing to trustworthy reports, the sub marine requested the steamer Falaba to put passengers and crew into lifeboats whnn other ships came up. Lately Eng lish merchant ships have, been provided with guns by the British government and advisedto ram or otherwise attack Ger man submarines. This advice has re peatedly been followed In order to win promised rewards. Military necessity consequently forced the submarine to act quickly, which made granting of longer space of Urns for the saving of Uvea Im possible. ' 'Too German government regrets the sacrifices of human lives, but both Brit ish ships 'and neutral passengers on board ships were warned urgently and in time not to cross the war sone. Re sponsibility rests, therefore with the British government, which contrary to international law, inaugurated commercial war against Germany and contrary to International law has caused merchant ships to offer armed resistance.'

The correspondent my a: "There is therefore always the well based hope that if the Russians advance by virtue, of the masses of troops thrown into the Carpathians by them they will havo tu pay dearly and too dearly. Al though the conflict in the Carpathians at present is attracting- more interest than ny other happening in the war one mut not forget that the war theater includes regions other than the Carpathians and thexe have an Influence on the Carpathian situation. "The gaining of ground In the Car pathians by no means Indicates victory, for victory is not won until the opponent Is exhaubted.

Mr. IMiiehot. however, on learning todny that the Incident had been published, gave tho Associated l'ress the following signed statement: AfUed to He Member. ' Some time ago I wns asked by Herbert C. Hoover to liecome a member of tho Commission for liellef In lVelglum and to take charge of the feeding of the French In tho Invaded provinces north of the Gorman lines After going twice to the continent, arrangements finally were completed and guarantees given to the commission by the German government that the American commission's food would not be taken. "I came to Tho Hague and reported tm medlntely to lr. Van Dyke, to whose legation I was attached by orders from Washington, with the specific duty of representing the commission of relief In feeding the civil population In northeast ern France within the German lines. Sent to Antwerp. "Dr. Van Dyke procured from the Ger man legation at The Hague the necessary papers for entering Belgium. On March 30 I went with my wife in a commission automobile and was accompanied by u Brussels representative of the commis sion to the Belgian frontier, where my diplomatic and commission passes were examined. After three hours' delay we were sent under an armed escort to Ant werp. "Tbe next morning orders came from the German governor. General von Blss lng, through the head of the pass office in Antwerp, that we were to leave Bel gium without delay. No ron was as signed for this action. Reason for Kx pulsion. "Before leaving, however, 1 received a letter from the American minister at Bruseels, Brand Whltiock, saying that the reason given him by General von Blsslug for our expulsion was my rela tionship to the British minister at The Hague, Sir Alan Johnstone, who married my sifter, and the fact that I had stayed with him at The Hague on my way to Belgium. Accordingly, we returned to Holland on March 31, and since then have been staying with the American minister at The Hague awaiting instructions from Washington. "In entering and leaving Belgium, Mrs. Tlnchot and I were searched by the Ger man military authorities. "I cannot close this statement without expressing the deep Impression made upon moby what I saw of the work of the American Commission for Relief In Belgium and especially by the warm ex pressions of gratitude and appreciation which came to to me from every side end all classes of people, including many of the leaders of the province In which Antwerp lies."

Althouph the French are conducting a sustained and somewhat formidable offensive! between the Meuse and the Moselle in an effort to dislodge the Hermann from St. Mihlel, tho southernmost point of their line, the demeanor of the allied armies as a whole indicates a disposition to await tho outcome of Ryssia's gigantic plan to forco tbe Carpathian barrier. Germany is thought 1o be pouring troops into Hungary, even to the ex tent of weakening its forces in Flan ders, and tonight's Austrian official communication notes the presence and recounts the success of tSernian and Austrian troops in the Laborers valley. There is less talk in Kngland of the spring advance of the Hllles In France and Belgium, and an Increas ing appreciation of the tank Russia is attempting. This leads to the be lief In some quarters that the leaders of the allied armies in the west, reckoning on the heavy cost incident to smashing the German lino there, may perhaps seek only to hold their ground in the belief that tho Rus Chamois Skin 66c Plackhorn Chamois skins, oil tanned and washable, a new shipment, extra large size for housocleanlng and au tomobiles.
