T a|aba Armed Ship
Is Germany Claim
Berlin Government Disclalms the
Responsibility for Loss Of
Neutral Lives

Washington, April 6.-Government
officials took under consideration to-
day statement from the German EN-
bassy quoting an official message
from the Berlin foreign office In
which responsibility was disclaimed
for the loss OF any neutral lives on
board the British steamer Fa'aba,
recently sunk by a German submar
inc.
The claim is set us by Germany
that the Falaba as well as other Brit
ish merchantmen, was armed, and
that military necessity made 1t I'M.
possible for the submarine to give
any longer time than was allowed
for the passengers to escape.
State department officials says that
the death Of Leon G. Thresher, an
American lost with the Falaba, con.
stitutes a complicated case. II the
German view Is accepted, the rights
of neutrals to travel aboard belliger.
ent craft of any kind would be cir.
cumscribed. Furthermore, Germany
contends that sufficient time was
permitted for the escape of the pas
sengers and the intimation is given
that II he was not included among
those saved there was an act of neg
ligence for which the Germans were
not responsible.
Early today President Wilson
told callers that no steps had been
taken automatically by the United
States in the Thresher case, beyond
efforts to obtain the facts and cir.
cumstances under which Thresaer
was drowned.

PRES. WILSON

The following news dispatch which

said in part
"A tree does not derive its strength

1t derives all the vital sources of its
life from the soil and those portions
of its structure that draw the vital

with a nation. The nation is not
fed from the top. 1t is not fed from
the conspicuous people down. 1t Is
fed from the inconspicuous people
up, and those institutions which, like
Berea, go into the unexhausted soils
and tap their virgin resources are
the best feeders of democracy.
What America has vindicated above
all things else Is that native ability
has nothing to do with social origin.
1t is very amusing sometimes to see
the airs that high society gives itself.
