EXPLICIT ANSWER

MENT FROM GERMANY ON
RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS.
Unfavorable Response to Next In.
quiry VIII Result In Severance Of
Diplomatic Relations and Poe
abby Other Steps.

Washington Wilson de-
termined on Tuesday that the United
States must ascertain definitely and
very promptly from Germany whether
the imperial government intends In
the future to be guided by the ac-
cepted principles of international law
and the rights of neutrals or to fol.
low its own rules of maritime war.
fare.
The president listened to varied
expression of opinion at meeting OF
his cabinet, taking little part In the
discussion himself. Later he began
the preparation OF q note embodying
his own ideas and what seemed to
him the consensus OF opinion of his
official family.
The verdict OF majority of the
cabinet was that the German reply
to the American note following the
sinking of the Lusitania was unre-
sponsive and unsatisfactory, that II
disregarded the good will OF the Unit
ed States, doubted Its facts and dis
claimed all blame for the destruction
Of the merchantmen with American
lives. The questions OF fact raised by
Germany were regarded as irrelevant
at this time.
The trend of opinion was that the
United States must inquire and OBJ.
tain an early answer as to whether
Germany intends to recognize the
hitherto accepted principle that neu-
trails may travel anywhere on the
high seas ON unarmed merchant ships,
even II carrying contraband. and that
merchantmen which do not resist
capture must be visited and searched
and the passengers and crew trans.
ferred to place of safety before
the vessel Is destroyed.

GETS GRIP ON FLAG
Defeats Union Club by
Rally in the Sixth in Win
ter League Game.

The Racquet and Tennis Club practi-
cally clinched the pennant Of the Win
ter League by defeating the Union Club
at the Fifth Avenue "lot" yesterday by
a score of 6 to o.
Five hits in the sixth inning, which
sent home four runners, gave the Rae
Duet Club lead of two runs. One run
was tailed by the Union men in the
seventh with no one out, but fast
play. Wrenn to Stebbins, and an unas-
sisted double play by Stebbins at first
base on Gibbons's hit cut short the
rally.
The members of the league learned
yesterday of the death of w. Richard
Bigelow, of the Calumet Club. who
covered first base for his team. He
played with his club last Saturday. and

weeks, Captain Harry T. Ashmore. the
18th Infantry pitcher, passing away on
Easter morning from the same illness.

New Haven. April Is There was an
other shakeup in the Yale varsity
eight here to-day, four men being
taken from the second into the first

lows: Stroke. Adams; No. Z. Wiman;
g. Meyer; 5. Sturtevant; 4, Whittlesey;
3, Long; ,, Gilhllan; bow. Munson;
coXswain, McLane.
Adams displaces Morse. who has gore
to stroke in the second eight; white
sey takes the place of Sheldon. who
rowed against Harvard last year; Gil
fllan replaces Bennett and Munson
takes Goes scat. Wiman changed
places with Low.
A cut was also made in the training
table squad, which, it was announced.
would consist for the present Of the
men of the first boat, and Morse and
sheldon. The crews had a ivomile
row on the harbor to-day.

ENGLISH GOLFERS
PLAN TRIP HERE
Try Cable to Tho Tribune !

London, April 15.-George Duncan,
the Hanger Hill professional, said to-
day that while he has every hope of
being a starter in the American open
golf championship tournament at Bal
tusrol in June, he will decide finally at
the end of the month, when J. II. Tay-
Tor, of Mid-Surrey. and James Braid,
of Walton Heath, will also make their
decisions known.
Edward Ray, Of the Oxhey Club, has
decided to again tour the States with
Harry Vardon and will sail shortly.
Duncan's last trip to America was
made four years ago, but the rapid
strides he has made since then have en-
titled him to be rated as one of the
most dangerous players in the country.
His appearance in the American open
would add special interest and make
the Baltusrol competition quite the
best on record.

to the eighth, when Baker singled and
