WASHINGTON. April 6. - Count
non Bernstorff. the German ambas-
sador. today received from Berlin an
official message expressing the opin-
BON or the German government that
the responsibility for the death of an
american citizen at the sinking OF
4he liner Falaba. by a German sub
aaarine must rest with the British
government
The message is prefaced by the
statement that a report from the sub
snarine has not yet been received at
Gerlin.
However, according 10 trustworthy
SepOrts." says the Berlin foreign Of
gice 1.-The subn arine requested the
steamer Falaba 20 put passengers
and crew into lifeboats when other
rhant ships have been provided with
guns by the British government and
advised to ram or otherwise attack
German submarines This advice has
been repeatedly followed in order TO
win promised reward. Military neCes-
sity consequently forced the sub
1narine to act quickly which made
the granting of longer space Of time
and the saving OF lives impossible.
The German government regrets
the sacrifice of human life, but both
british ships and neutral passengers
ON board such ships were warned
Nrgently and in time not TO cross the
war zone.
Responsibility rests therefore with
the British government. which, con
trary to International law. has caused
merchant ships To offer armed resist

Publication of Protest Against
Embargo Order Relieves
Tension Existing Since Adop-
tiOn of RetaIiatOry Measures
ACCEPT MESSAGE IN
A FRIENDLY SPIRIT
General Impression of English
Press Comedies Reasonable
ness and business of Amer
lean Representations.

LONDON, April adjudication Of
the United States note OF protest
against the British order in council
declaring a blockade of Germany has
relieved a tension that has been ap-
parent ever since England and France
adopted retaliatory measures against
Germany. 1t is now possible to state
that it was feared in England that
the United States would make de-
mands much more drastic in their ma
ture.
British officials and the English
press accepted the American note as
a friendly message and believe that
any further differences that develop
during the operations of the blockade
can be adjusted without trouble.
The friendly tone of the American
communication is acclaimed by the
London press. The Times. after an
alyzing it's text declares that the note
supports the attitude of the British
government.
The Daily Mail says: When all is
said England has reason to be pro-
foundly grateful to America"
Calls Note Fair.
The Daily News: The American
people are naturally reasonable and
u
the note is It's friendliness and gen.
eral fairness"
The Daily Telegraph finds fault with
the academic tone of the note, saying:
I'VE are not fighting so much for the
principles Of international law as for
our existence"
The Daily Caronicle says: 1--WE are
sure the British government will do
it's best TO meet Pres't Wilson. but it
is impossible for the allies to allow
non contra band goods TO reach Ger
many without destroying their policy"
The Evening Standards comment
upon the note follows:
The note was conceived in a friend
lv spirit. The enemy's hopes for a
rupture Of the happy relations exist
ing between two branches OF the
Anglo-Saxon race will be rudely dash
ed"
VIII Not COncede Demand.
The Globe says:
1--WE may say with complete asSur-
ance that Pres't Wilson, demand that
non-contraband goods be admitted in
10 Germany through neutral ports Will
not be conceded
I'm no neutral country has the
allied cause been more warmly es-
poused or more forcibly presented by
leading men than in America" says
the Westminster Gazette. Let us al
ways be grateful for that and refrain
from criticising a government which
has all manner of difficulties that can
not be rightly appreciated in this
country. The Germans, we hope, take
note OF this: The American assump-
ton that we are incapable Of acting
as they have acted We may say
without seeming to boast that the i'm
piled compliment was well deserved" !"
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that
there will be 10 disposition to COM
plain of the contents Of the American
note.

show or contest. The idea of public
exhibition of babies with prizes is not
to be carried out by the people in

mittee and of Mrs. Bayley and DR..
Hall, of the Peoples Home Bureau, of
Portland, to furnish the means whereby
mothers may have their babies tested
individually and privately regarding
their physical and mental development.
1t is a splendid opportunity for mothers
to find out whether deficiencies exist
and the proper way to develop the
child.
The number of children to be tested
will necessarily be limited on account
of time, so mother are urged to regis
ter early and be prompt at their ap-
pointment.
