It was (late(d .itune 1, 1. , adl( wi called for after tile erman reply of Maiy 2 to President Xilson's first Lbusitlania niote of 'lay I3, hlad set up lie contention that the ASitLlia, hai been armned and that her 'apid silking was due, not to the tor >t'do but to the eXplosion of ainmuni ion. it was this rel)ort to which P'resident Wilson, in his second note )f Jline 9, referrel, 'Wlien he said: "F'ortInately, there aire ma1itt"i's Col -erning which tle government of tlie Vn ited States is inl a position to give le imperial (erimnan governIiment of cials information." Mr. Malone sai it' had letermiiine(d O give out the text of tihe report be ise of still insistent appeals to him ror information regartling its contents. "'Th'ese appeals," lie ex plaine(, ,colle not oiilv froimi the tnlt(ed States ut from abroad; for instance, from such organizations as the Central com inittee for E1stablishing the Causes of the War." When Senator Laollette's attitude Loward the war was under investiga lion the treasury department was call ad on for the original of this report. t replied that it had been turned over to the state department, The state de partment held that the report had become a state paper and was there Lore secret. "So it has never been possible for the public to know Just what the re port contained. For this reason and because of the constant appeals to me for information regarding it, I have de cided to make it public." The report states that when the Lusitania sailed from New York on May 1, 1915, on her last trip to Eng land, she did not have any guns of any calibre or description on any deck, mounted or unmounted, masked or un masked. Affidavits by various government In spectors 'were affixed to the report in substantiation. .It stated further that the Lusita aia did not -hare Canadian troops or troops of - any nationality on ",board. SToreover, the Lusitania carried no troup or groups, no tbody or organiza ion of passengers as such, with or without uniforms; and if any individ .tai reservists of any nationality sailed in the 'Lusitanla on this trip, they did oas individuals, tpaying their own assage and receiving their own in lividual tickets. 'Referring to the question of the resence of explosives on ' the liner, he report says the ammunition set orth asn part of the cargo did not eon ain explosives within the interpreta Ion of the statutes and regulations as nterpreted by the department of comn nerce in the ruling previously quoted. More thanx 1,000 lives wore lost in luding over 100 Americans when the ausitania went down off Kinsale Head, reland, six days after ahe had left Jew York.
