ARREST
GIRL SPY

MILAN, Italy, June 2.-(Via Paris,
8 p. m.)-Isabelle Wade. aged 81, of
Chicago, was arrested here today on
the charge of being an accomplice of
a Bavarian officer, who is accused of
espionage.
A few days ago the police arrested
Bavarian officer named Martin
Schehammer on suspicion of espion-
age. He had made several visits to
the province of Grescia and Verona in
the war zone.
1t was learned that Schehammer had
lived in several Italian towns, Milan
and Rome included, and had many ad-
dresses. His close acquaintance with
Isabelle Wade of Chicago, a singer,
was discovered and the police found
the woman living in an apartment
here, under the name of Margherita
Martello.
Search of her apartment revealed a
large package of correspondence in
cipher, military maps of important
strategic value in the provinces of
Alessandria, Udine, Verona and Bas-
sano. These were contained in a
large valise. From another package
of German correspondence it would
appear that Isabelle Wade had had
dealings with the police of Berlin.

GERMAN
HATRED

LONDON, June 3 (4:19 a. m.)-The
Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant's cor
respondent with the German forces on
the French front says:
"The i'll feeling OF the German sol
diers toward the United States is being
shown by the change in the treatment
f American newspaper representatives
visiting the German lines. For ex-
ample, l visited a battery OF howitzers
and, as was my custom, passed around
a handful of cigars to the artillery men.
To my astonishment every man re-
fused them.

splinters of an American shell, which
he presented to the correspondent with
no comment.

and that he recommended several
methods to the German foreign office
Of meeting the American position sat
isfactorily. 1t is an open secret in
diplomatic quarters, however, that the
ambassadors suggestions were not fol-
lowed then, and speculation was wide
spread as to what influence his COM
munication of today-expressing as it
did the viewpoint OF the president him
self-might have on his government.
In view Of the difficulties which the
embassy has experienced in communi-
eating with Berlin on account of the
cutting of cables, it is understood the
president granted request of the am
bassador that the United States assist
him in transmitting his messages con-
corning the delicate situation that has
arisen. The ambassadors report of
his talk with the president will be sent
in code through the state department
and will be delivered by Ambassador
Gerard.
The conference at the White House
was the outstanding development of
the day in the international situation.
The president is understood to have
explained the American governments
position and to have reiterated that
it was based on legality. 1t is believed
the ambassador was told that If the
German government could conduct its
submarine warfare in accordance with
the dictates of humanity in a way that
would not endanger the lives and prop
erty OF neutrals, there would be no
objection to the use of the underwater
craft as commerce destroyers. The
exercise of the right of visit and
search, however, the president is said
to have explained, would be insisted
upon when submarines encounter un-
armed merchantmen or vessels that do
not resist capture.
In some well-informed quarters the
conference was discussed as likely to
lead to important results with respect
to the general European situation.
Wnlie the president, it is believed, in
adherence to his expressed policy, re-
fused to talk of the relations of this
country with Great Britain to the Ger

WASHINGTON, June 2.-President
Wilson emphasized in an informal talk
with Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, today, the intense
feeling of the American people over
the sinking of the Lusitania and other
violations OF American rights on the
high seas and impressed upon him that
the United States must insist on an
adherence by Germany to the accepted
principles of international law as they
affect neutrals.
No announcements were made after
the conference, but it was stated au-
thoritively that there would be no
change in the plan of the president
and his cabinet to send in response to
the German reply to the last American
note an inquiry to ascertain definitely
whether the imperial government will
abide by international law or follow
its own rules of maritime warfare. The
note, which is being written by Presi-
dent Wilson, will be dispatched before
the end of the week.
In 20 minutes conversation the pres
ident of the United States and the
personal representative of Emperor
William exchanged views on the deli
cate situation which has arisen in the
relations between the two countries.
Their meeting was cordial, their con-
versation friendly and both discussed
fundamentals and not details. Count
Won Bernstorff later told friends that
the interview had been satisfactory
and that the president had spoken
clearly and frankly. The ambassador
felt very hopeful when he returned to
his embassy. He believed the report
which he prepared for transmission to
Berlin would enlighten the German
foreign office on the true state of the
American governments opinion and
pave the way to better understand
ing.
In official and diplomatic quarters
opinion was divided as to the effect Of
the conference. Some thought it would
be beneficial and bring from Germany
a conciliatory reply to the next Ameri-
can communication. Others pointed
out that the German ambassador SIM
ilarly was hopeful when President Will
sons note of May 13 was dispatched
