within the terms of Sec'y Bryan

would hold Germany TO a strict ac-
countability for the death Of Amer
lean citizens or loss Of American
property by reason Of destruction of
vessels in an internationally illegal
manner.
This government is getting all the
evidence il can from survivors as to
how the Falaba was destroyed. Con-
sui Gen. Skinner at London and Am
bassador Page have sent on patches OF
testimony from survivors and this
government is also getting the evil
dence submitted at the British inquest
which is now going on.
The United States will have the
privilege Of obtaining the evidence
gathered by the German admiralty,
but it is stated Thursday that it has
not been asked for and that there is
no present intention Of considering it
before making the representations to
Germany.

Washington. THE incident Of the
dissertation Of the United States flag
during the attack on the house Of

giving the facts as published.
The minister, however, has advised
the department he had found that no

the insult and that the question was
therefore not international.
Secretary Bryan has adopted that

Willard at viii but his blows grew per
