GERMANS EXPELLED
 FROM ALL EXCHANGES
BITTER ANTtGER JAN FEELING SWEEPS THROUGH THE CITIES
 OF ENGLAND.

London. May ll-Not since the war began has such a wave of anti German feeling surged through the country as at the present time.
 It is due entirely to the sinking of the Lusitania,
 Workmen in the industrial districts are refusing to labor alongside men ot German birth, whether they are n&turalized or not In many towns the premises occupied by Germans have been stormed and damaged, aor de- stroyed, and even the exchanges in London and provincial towns which hitherto had permitted persons with German blood in their veins to retain their memberships, are taking the drastic step of barring the doors to them regardless of all considerations.
 There have been riots in Liverpool, Manchester Stafford and Birkenhead In Liverpool the Germans have been interned, and those who are natural ized subjects of Great Britain have been advised to go to interior towns or seek internment.
 Many of them have decided on the latter course
 A demand is being made by the newspapers that all the 25,000 Ger nans still at large should be similarly treated. This evening deputations from the stock exchange, the Baltic exchange, Lloyd's and the Corn EX- change, after meeting on the steps oi the Royal Exchange, marched to the House of Commons and presented d petition to the attorney general which called attention to the grave danger that existed "by allowing alien residents to remain at large in the country
 A public meeting will be held at the mansion house on the subject of alien enemies. 1t will be the forerunner of meetings of protest which are to be held all over the country.

Utterances of Dr. Bernard Dernberg Have Met With Strong Disap-
 proval in Executive Quarters.
It Has Been Decided to Ask Germany to Give, Assurances That There Would Be No Rep- ( etition of the Lusitania Tragedy--On
 This Answer Depends Our Course.

Washington, May ll.-President Wilson had practically decided tonight on the first step in the policy which the United States government will pursue as a result of the sinking of the British liner Lusitania with the loss of more than a hundred Ameri- can lives.
 The president will act promptly within another day or two. A draft of communication to be sent to Germany was submitted to the cabi- net today anad approved unanimously. While no official announcement was made it was learned that the United States would present and insist upon an explanation of the series of incl dents which have occurred since the proclamation of a war zone around the British Isles-the sinking of the Falabia, causing the death of Leon C. Thresher, an American citizen; the attack by German airmen on the American steamer Gushing. the torpe- doing of the American steamer Gu.g- tight, and finally the destrEctiof without warning of the Lusitanfa with toll Of more than a thousand lives.
 In what are described by those fa- miliar with the document as firm and unmistakable terms, the president voices the intense feeling of the united Statets over these happenings and in the name of international law demands an adherence by Germany to the established rules of maritime war fare The note asks that some assur- ance or guarantee be given hereafter that unarmed merchant vessels carry ing nOn-cOmbatants be visited and

I'm. mediateIy after seeing the submarine ] went aft and notified the crew. and went on the bridge and heard the cap- tain make the remark that it must be a British submarine as the patrol boats took no notice of !,.
 About 12;50 an explosion took place in the Gulflight in the bluff of the starboard bow, sending vast Quau. titles of watetr high in the air, com. ing down on the bridge and shutting everything off from our view. After the watetr cleared away our ship had sunk by the head, so that the sea was washing over the foredeck and the ship appeared to be sinking.
 Immediately went aft to see the boats. On my way saw one man overheard on the starboard side. The water at that time was black with oil The boats were lowered and the crew got into them without delay or dam age After ascertaining that there was no one left on board the ship I got in my boat and we were picked mp by the patrol vessel Iago. and were advised by her crew to leave the scene

Torpedoing of Gu1flight Is Told By Captain
 of the Vessel
Was Flying an American Floo 6&1O Feet--ObSerUed Submarine But Had No Idea of
 Being Attacked.

Washington, May 1.-The state de- rartment late today made public sworn statement by Ralph F. Sm'tN, now master of the American steamer Gn,flieht describing the torpedoing of that vessel.
 The text of Captain Smiths state ment follows:
 May II, 1915
 Y am Ralph E Smith. former chief officer and now master of the steam. shin Gulflight. At the commencement Of the voyage was chief officer. The ship left Port Arthur April 10. 1915. laden with gasoline and lubricatiag oil. The voyage was uneventful. When about half way across the At lantic the wireless operator told me there was a British cruiser in our vicinity, and that he had heard mes sages from this ship since leaving Port Arthur. but she made no direct communication wi h or to our shin. The British seemed to maintain the same distance from us until about three days before we reached the mouth of the English channel.
 May 1st, about II o'clock in the forenoon, we spoke two British yes ses names, Iago and Fley. We were then 22 miles west Of Bishop light house. The patrol vessels asked Us where we were bound After inform ing them we were bound for Rouen they ordered us to follow them 10 the Bishop. We steered as directed and at about 12:22. the second officer be- ing on watch, sighted a submarine on our port bow-slightly on the port bow -steaming al right angles to our course. The submarine was in sight for about five minutes when she sub. merged about right ahead of us. I saw her but could not distinguish or see any flag flying on her.
 "The Gulflieht was then flying a large American ensign. size 6 feet by 10 feet The wind was ahau. south.

which doubtless will not be decided for days, is awaited with deep inter. est.
 According to the French report. the Germans, their railway lines having been damaged by allied airmen. have brought up endorsements by motor cars. These have been met by the concerted force of the French artil- lery In fact, the artillery is becom- ing more and more the determining factor in the war.
 Around Ypres tn Germans before launching their attacks, which have been delivered on successive days. thoroughly searched the ground with heavy and light guns subjecting the British to a bombardment such as they themselves received at Neuye Chapelle. Officers and men who have escaped from it state that the trenches were wholly destroyed aud the ground churned up by the shells.
 Nevertheless, the British found some Kind of shelter and when the German infantry tried to advance they were moved down There are no signs, however of the German attacks

Philadelphia, May 11.-Former Pres ident William II. Taft urged patience and calmness in the present internd. tional situation and called on the citl- zens of the country to stand by Presi- dent Wilson in an address at the Union League tonight Referring to the sinking of the Lusitania, Profes- sor Taft said the "inhumanity of the circumstances in the case presses us on, but in the heat of even just in- dignation is not the best time to act when action involves such momen- tous consequences as means untold loss of life and treasure'

ROOseDelt Declares \ NdtiOn'S Honor Is
 NOW at Stake
To Refuse 10 Resent the Ki1iinq of American Citizens on the LuS- itdnid Would Put Us in q
 Glass With China. I@

Syracuse, N. Y., May 11.-Former President Theodore Roosevelt to- night made a plea for prompt action by the United States on account of Lusitania disaster while commenting on President Wilson's speech of last night to gathering of naturalized Americans in Philadelphia Mir. Roose- welt was particularly interested in that part of the presidents speech in which the latter referred to such a thing as a man being too proud to fight and "a nation being so right that it does not need to convince oth- CTS by force that it is right
 'I think that China is entitled to draw all the comfort she can from this statement Mr Roosevelt said, and it would be well for the United States to ponder seriously what the effect on China has been of managing her foreign affairs during the last r. years on the theory just enunci- ated
 If the United States is satisfied with occupying some time in the fu- ture the precise international posi- ton that China now occupies, then the United States can afford to act on this theory But it cannot act on this theory if it desires to retain or regain the position won for it under Washington and the men who in the days of \ hrahau fnaoIn ,r,ra tha blue under Grant and the gray under Lee

 The president points out, 1t is un- derstood, that the United States in it's note which said Germany would be held to strict accountability" for any attacks on American vessels or lives had not admitted any right on the part of Germany to carry on such methods of warfare and declares, moreover, that the giving of official notice of an intention to commit an unjustifiable act did not justify the act or make it lawful
 What will follow in event of refusal by Germany to comply with the wish of the note about to be sent, none of the presidents official family would predict. They said the president was determined to act firmly and deal with each situation as it arose. It was pointed out too that in his speech in VI t'N't''d III iSieichNc tO pSaSe MI. Wils6H-Xas expressing merely an ideal that he Sr-@ 4aa~ G--e=- -s.,,.!a 2 -..s,s-l. would follow.
 Persons familiar with the presi- dents view indicated, however that he was by no means mLprepared for or unaware of the possible eventuali- ties of the present crisis and knew that circumstances and events over which the United States might have no control might make vigorous action necessary.

 The task of the president is a heavy one Mir. Taft continued. He is acting for the whole country, He is anxious to find way out of the present difficulty without war.
 Before party, before ourselves we are for our country That is what he is working for. Shall we not stand by him in it? He will not surrender our country's rights. It may be necessary that for a hundred lives and the meth cd of their taking, we should lose thou sands and hundreds of thousands of lives. The national honor and inter- ests may ultimately demand it, but time for serious thought and clearly weighing the consequences will not prejudice the justice of our cause or the opportunity to vindicate it and this the president may be counted on to secure

 Rev, Myron F. Adams of Chicago testified that he married the defend ant and Doris Vaughn on November 3, 1914, and Mrs Mary Bradford of Kenosha stated that while Darneli ad- mitted an alliance with Ethel Spur geon in Minnesota and introduced Ruth Soper as his wife he asserted that he had married but one woman, Doris refshn, of Chicago.

 Without 24 hours delay this coun- try should, and could, take effective action that by declaring in view of Germany's murderous offenses against the rights of neutrals all commerce. with Germany shall be forthwith for bidden and all commerce of every kind permitted and encouraged with France, England and the rest of the civilized world
 This would not be a declaration of war It would merely prevent muni- tions of war being sent to a power which by its conduct has shown wiI- lingness to use munitions for the slaughtetr of unoffendlng men, wo- men and children.
