GERMAN VERSION OF DISASTER
"AN ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER"
A German version of the fate of the Lusitania was published in i the Voclkiacher Beobachter on May 7, the anniversary of the sinking of the liner by a U-boat.
Captain Karl Scherb, who was officer of the watch in the sub- marine U 20 when It encountered the Lusitanla off the coast of Ireland, says the Morning Post Berlin correspondent, told the story of the Uner's end in a long article, entitled "The sinking of the English auxiliary cruiser, Lusi- tania." His account helps to clear up several points that have been debated for many years.
Captain Scherb recalls that in retaliation of the blockade Ger- many declared on February 18, 1915, that she would destroy every British merchant vessel encounter- od in the waters around Great Britain and Ireland. At 7 a.m. on April 30 the U 20, commanded by

Lady Mildred Williams said that Hann, whom she had known for a few months, had been living at her house for seven or eight weeks.
Asked by the Coroner if she knew whether he had any cause for worry, Lady Mildred replied, "Well, he was very nervy and sometimes depressed."
