NEW YORK, May 12.-Ignace Jan
Paderekski. the pianist, who has come
to America to organize relief for Pol
ish victims of war hopes 10 be able
shortly to announce the personnel of Il
national American relief committee. He
mas been seeking as members prom
inent men and women who will con-
solidate the work of several Polish re-
lief committees already organized.
In his appeal. Paderewski declared
the war Mt the eastern front has been
raging eXclU rively over Polish soil, and
sweeping away every sign of ciViliZa-
ton with an area equal in size of New
York. Pennsylvania laid waste. Two
hundred towns. fourteen hundred
hundred and seventy-five hundred viii
lages have been ruined. The damage will
amount to s2.50O, 000. 900. Almost H.
10000 helpless women and children,
homeless peasants and unemployed
workmen, he said. have been driven
into the open. Thousands are hiding
among the ruins. in woods or in hol-
lows. feeding on roots and the bark of
trees.
To concentrate the efforts of all who
may be touched by so appalling dis
tress a general Polish relief committee
has been formed on neutral soil in
Lausanne ard Switzerland Pader-
ewski said. THE president of that COM
mittee is Henry Sienkiewicz the writ
er; its members are all men of high
standing. united by desire to lessen
the sufferIEgs of our countrymen with
out distinction of race, religion or
political opinion.
Unfortunately. though well organ
lied and having its agencies in every
part of the country. our committee
could accomplish comparatively little.
rhe funds put into it's hands are eX-
tremelv modest. Poland has nothing
more to give. for she is ruined and the
interest and sympathy of other coun-
tries is absorbed in orher worthy
causes.
In the name of Christian charity, in
the name of common humanity, /
therefore appeal to the great Amer
lean people They have already given
much to other stricken nations: they

Note Will BE Cabled Today
to Imperial Government
Demanding Guarantee of
No Further Attacks on
Merchant Ships
FULL PREPARATION
ALSO DEMANDED
Germany is Informed Moth
ing VIII Be Left Undone
Either Diplomatically or
Otherwise to Obtain Com
pliance With Requests

| WASHINGTON, May y. The
! Unied States in a note to be sent
to Germany tomorrow demands a
guarantee that there will be no fur
ther attacks by submarines on mer-
chant ships carrying non -combatants.
1t serves notice also that full repara-
ton will be sought for the loss of
more than one hundred American
lives on the Lusitania and other vio-
lations of American rights in the
sea zones of war.
The document was to have been
cabled tonight but the president, af-
ter conferences with Counsellor Ian
sing of the state department, made
several changes in the legal detail,
and then revised it alone in his
study. Tomorrow it will be dis
patched and it is expected to be
made public soon afterward. No
changes were made in the essentials
of the communication as formulated
on Sunday by the president and APP
proved by the cabinet yesterday.
While no indications are given as
10 the steps that will be taken by
the United States in the event of an
unfavorable reply. the note informs
the German government that the
American government leave nothing
undone either in diplomatic repre-
sentations OF other actions to OBJ
tain compliance with it's requests.
Germany's attention is called to the
earnestness of the government and
the people of the United Staes in the
situation.
The principal points in the note
are substantially as follows:
"The United States calls attention
20 the various incidents of the war
zone proclaimed by Germany around
the British isles: the sinking of the
British liner Falaba with the loss of
Leon Thresher. an American; the at
tack of German airmen on the
American steamer Cushing; the tor
pedoing without warning of the
American steamer Gulflight flying the
stars and stripes, and finally the
torpedoing without warning of the
Lusitania.
These acts are declared to be inde-
fensible under the international law.
The United States points out thNt it
has never admitted Germany's right
to do them and warned the imperial
government it will be held to strict
accountability for attacks on Ameri-
can vessels and lives.
4 strict accounting, therefore. is
now asked, from Germany. The usual
financial reparations will be sought,
although Germany in effect is re-
minded that no reparation can re-
store the lives OF those sacrificed.
Expressions of regret may comply
with legal precedents but they are
valueless unless accompanied by q
cessation of the practices endanger-
ing the lives of non-combatants. The |
right of neutrals to travel to any
point on the high seas on a neutral
CT belligerent merchantmen is as
serted In the name of humanity and |
law the United States !
demands a guarantee that these |
rights be respected and that there be |
no repetition of the attacks on mer- |
chantmen carrying non -comba tants. |
