WILSON DEMANDS
HUMANE WARFARE
CABINET APPROVES DEMANDS
FOR ADHERENCE TO RULES
OF MARITIME WARFARE.
a Note TO be Sent to Kaiser insisting
Upon Immediate Explanation Of
Lusltanla Horror-Must Re-
speet Rights Of Neutrals.

Washington is announced that
President Wilson has decided upon
the policy which the United States
government viii pursue as result OF
the sinking of the British liner Lusi-
tania,, with the loss of more than
hundred American lives.
A draft Of a communication TO be
sent to Germany was submitted TO
The cabinet on Tuesday and approved
unanimously. While no official an
nouncement was made, 1t was learned
that the United States would present
and insist upon an explanation OF the
series Of incidents which have &C.
Cured since the proclamation OF
war zone around the British isles
the sinking of the Falaba, causing the
death OF Leon G. Thresher, an Amer
lean citizen, the attack by German air
men on the American steamer Cush-
ing, the torpedoing of the American
steamer Gulflight, and finally the de-
struction without warning Of the
Lusitania, with a toll Of more than a
thousand lives.
In what are described by those IA
miliar with the document as Arm
and .unmistakable terms, the president
voices the intense feeling Of the Unit
ed States over these happenings, and
in the name Of international law de-
mands an adherence by Germany to
the established rules of maritime
warfare.
The note asks that some assurance
or guarantee be given hereafter that
unarmed merchant vessels carrying
non-combatants be visited and search
ed when encountered on the high seas
by the German navy, and passengers
and crew transferred to a place of
safety before any prize is destroyed.
The president points out, it is un.
derstood, that the United States, in
its note which said Germany would
be held Ito 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
unjustitiable act did not justify the
act or make 1t lawful

London.-Most of the morning news

Britain to speculate upon the course
to be adopted by the United States
government, now that they are con.

shall not seek to accentuate. but the

civilized power will feel constrained to
