Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz stated it was sad that many Americans "in wanton recklessness, and in spite of the warnings of our Ambassador, had embarked in this armed cruiser, heavily laden with munitions" and had died, but that Germany had been within her rights to sink the ship.
Lusitania was indeed officially listed as an auxiliary war ship, and her cargo had included an estimated 4,200,000 rounds of rifle cartridges, 1,250 empty shell cases, and 18 cases of non-explosive fuses, which was openly listed as such in her cargo manifest. The day after the sinking, The New York Times published full details of the ship's military cargo. Assistant Manager of the Cunard Line, Herman Winter, denied the charge that she carried munitions, but admitted that she was carrying small-arms ammunition, and that she had been carrying such ammunition for years. The fact that Lusitania had been carrying shells and cartridges was not made known to the British public at the time.
In the 27-page additional manifest, delivered to U.S. customs 4–5 days after Lusitania sailed from New York, and in the Bethlehem Steels papers, it is stated that the "empty shells" were in fact 1,248 boxes of filled 3" shell, 4 shells to the box, totaling 103,000 pounds or 50 tonnes.
President Woodrow Wilson refused to immediately declare war. During the weeks after the sinking, the issue was hotly debated within the U.S. government, and correspondence was exchanged between the U.S. and German governments. German Foreign Minister Von Jagow continued to argue that Lusitania was a legitimate military target, as she was listed as an armed merchant cruiser, she was using neutral flags and she had been ordered to ram submarines – in blatant contravention of the Cruiser Rules.
Von Jagow further argued that Lusitania had on previous voyages carried munitions and Allied troops. Wilson continued to insist the German government apologise for the sinking, compensate U.S. victims, and promise to avoid any similar occurrence in the future. The British were disappointed with Wilson over his failure to pursue more drastic actions. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan advised President Wilson that "ships carrying contraband should be prohibited from carrying passengers ... [I]t would be like putting women and children in front of an army." Bryan later resigned because he felt the Wilson administration was being biased in ignoring British contraventions of international law, and that Wilson was leading the U.S. into the war.

＞Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz stated it was sad that many Americans "in wanton recklessness, and in spite of the warnings of our Ambassador, had embarked in this armed cruiser, heavily laden with munitions" and had died, but that Germany had been within her rights to sink the ship.
⇒アルフレッド・フォン・ティルピッツ海軍大将は、多くの米国人が「向こう見ずな無茶をして、わが国の大使の警告にも関わらず、この武装巡洋艦に乗り込み、軍需品を大量に積み込んで」死んだが、ドイツとしてはそういう船を沈める権利の枠内でそうしただけだ、と述べた。

⇒実際、ルシタニア号は公式に補助戦艦として一覧表に記載されており、その貨物には推定4,200,000発のライフル用薬莢、1,250個の弾薬用空箱、および18個の非爆発性信管が含まれており、そのように貨物の内容目録にも公然と記載されていた。ニューヨーク・タイムズは、沈没の翌日、本船の軍事貨物の完全な詳細を発表した。キュナード航路の支配人補佐ハーマン・ウィンターは、本船が軍需品を運んでいたという容疑は否定したが、小火器の弾薬を運んでいて、それも数年間にわたって運搬していたことを認めた。ルシタニア号が砲弾や薬莢を運んでいたという事実は、当時英国民に知らされていなかった。

＞In the 27-page additional manifest, delivered to U.S. customs 4–5 days after Lusitania sailed from New York, and in the Bethlehem Steels papers, it is stated that the "empty shells" were in fact 1,248 boxes of filled 3" shell, 4 shells to the box, totaling 103,000 pounds or 50 tonnes.
⇒ルシタニア号がニューヨークを出航してから4－5日後に米国の税関に届けられた27ページの追加の積荷目録、および「ベツレヘム・スチール」論文では、「弾薬用空箱」とは、実際には1箱に3－4個の砲弾が詰まった1,248箱で、合計103,000ポンドまたは50トンであったという。
＊「3" shell, 4 shells」とありますが、「3 shells‐4 shells」の誤植と見て訳しました。

＞President Woodrow Wilson refused to immediately declare war. During the weeks after the sinking, the issue was hotly debated within the U.S. government, and correspondence was exchanged between the U.S. and German governments. German Foreign Minister Von Jagow continued to argue that Lusitania was a legitimate military target, as she was listed as an armed merchant cruiser, she was using neutral flags and she had been ordered to ram submarines – in blatant contravention of the Cruiser Rules.
⇒ウッドロー・ウィルソン大統領は、直ちに宣戦布告することを拒否した。沈没後の数週間、この問題は米国政府内で激しく議論され、米国政府とドイツ政府の間でやり取りが行われた。ドイツ外務大臣のフォン・ジャゴウは、ルシタニア号が武装商船の巡洋艦として登録され、中立旗を使用し、潜水艦を突撃するよう命じられていたのだから、正当な軍事的標的であったと主張し続けた。

＞Von Jagow further argued that Lusitania had on previous voyages carried munitions and Allied troops. Wilson continued to insist the German government apologise for the sinking, compensate U.S. victims, and promise to avoid any similar occurrence in the future. The British were disappointed with Wilson over his failure to pursue more drastic actions. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan advised President Wilson that "ships carrying contraband should be prohibited from carrying passengers ... [I]t would be like putting women and children in front of an army." Bryan later resigned because he felt the Wilson administration was being biased in ignoring British contraventions of international law, and that Wilson was leading the U.S. into the war.
⇒フォン・ジャゴウはさらに、ルシタニア号が以前の航海で軍需品と連合国軍の軍隊を運んだと主張した。ウィルソンは、ドイツ政府が沈没について謝罪し、米国の犠牲者に補償し、将来同様の事態を避けることを約束するよう主張し続けた。英国は、もっと過激な行動をとらなかったウィルソンに失望した。国務長官ウィリアム・ジェニングス・ブライアンは、ウィルソン大統領に「密輸品を運ぶ船は、乗客を運ぶことを禁じられるべきです…。〔そ〕れは、女性や子供を軍隊の前に置くようなものです」と忠言した。ブライアンは、ウィルソン政権が英国の国際法違反を無視することに偏っていて、ウィルソンが米国を戦争に導いたと感じたので、後に辞任した。
