Main Point Will Be Request
for Declaration of Principles
by Germany
NO QUESTION OF
FACT NOW INVOLVED
President Assured That He
Was Correctly Informed
When His First Note Was
Prepared

Washington, June president
Wilson's note replying to the recent
German communication on submarine
operations was approved by the cabi-
net today and will go forward to Ber-
lin within the next twenty-four hours.
The two important features in
President Wilson's note are:
"A request for a direct expression
from Germany as to whether or not
she intends to abide by the principles
of international law and humanity in
the conduct of her submarine opera
tons.
A statement that the facts set forth
in the Presidents first note in regard
to the character of the Lusitania, and
her cargo are accurate.
Included in the note also will be whst
amounts to a reiteration of the de-
mands made by the President in his
first communication. These included
a disavowal of intention to attack
American lives or property, repara-
ton, in go far as reparation is possibl
and prompt steps to insure this gov
eminent against a recurrence of the
Lusitania outrage.
Offsets German Statement.
The statement in regard to the ac-
curacy of facts contained in the first
note will amount TO an answer TO the
German charge that the Lusitania was
an auxiliary cruiser in that she had
two masked guns concealed below
deck. The President has made q care
ful investigation of all the facts in
connection with this charge. He has
personally received the assurances of
Collector Malone that there were no
guns on the Lusitania and in other
ways has satisfied himseY beyond
doubt that the United States govern
ment stated the exact facts In it's first
communication to Germany.
1t is understood that the President
has made the situation as easy as pos
sible for Germany on the assumpti on
that the Imperial government has
been nfisinformed. The statements in
the President notes as 10 facts, how
ever, has been phrased in such a way
as to indicate clearly that no discus
sion of facts seems necessary and will
not be acceptable. until at least Ger
many has declared herself on the
principles involved.
General Effect of Note.
The general effect of the Presidents
communication with special emphasis
laid on the necessity OF Germany
promptly giving Americans assurances
Of protection on the seas in conform
ity with the principles OF international
law. Next 10 the action OF the cabinet,

CLAIMS CAUSE AND CURE
FOR PELLAGRA is FOUND
Public Health Service Announce Cure
Found After Experimenting With
Mississippi Convicts.

washington. Discovery of the
cause of and cure for pellagra was an.
nounced formally Friday by the public
health service. The announcement
follows the recent publication of a re-
port by Surgeon Jos. Goldberger on a
year of experiments in cooperation
with the Southern State health offic-
lals demonstrating the correctness of
the theory that a one-sided diet lack
ing In protelds would cause the dis
ease and that a Unbalanced diet
would cure it.
The spread of this dread malady.
which has been increasing in the Unit
ed States at terrific rate during the
past few years, may now be checked
and eventually eraGicated," said the
service statement 1T is estimated
that seventy-five thousand cases of
the disease will have occurred in the
United States in 1915 and of this num-
Der at least $500 will have died before
the end of the year. In many sec
lions only tuberculosis and pneumo-
mia exceed 1t as a cause of death"
The final dietary tests were made
by Surgeon Goldberger and Assistant
Surgeon G. A. Wheeler at the farm
OF the Mississippi penitentiary, where
a half dozen convicts were given pei
lagra by feeding them for five months
on bountiful meals consisting chiefly
of cereals and sweets and lacking IN
meats, milk, eggs, beans and peas.
The victims we're recently pardoned
by the governor and now are being
restored to health through a corrected
diet.
In earlier experiments about two
hundred pellagra patients had been
cured by balanced rations and at the
end of year there had been a slight
recurrence Of the disease in only one
Instance.
