considered the communication that is
to be sent to Germany as a rejoinder
to the recent reply to the Lusitania
note.
The American communication was
drafted by President Wilson himself
and is couched in the most vigorous
terms possible Germany will be
asked to answer definitely whether she
intends to be guided in the future by
the humane principles of international
law for the conduct of warfare, or if
the neutral nations may expect Ger
many to continue her naval campaign
along paratical lines.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff today

that Uncle Sam is not running bluff
and that Germany must answer this
note at least respectfully.
Won Bernstorff is anxious to avoid
war with the United States, if possible.
The representative sent to Berlin will
attempt to show the German authori-
ties that America is greatly agitated
over the sinking of the Lusitania AMI
subsequent developments, and that it
is high time for the Kaiser to attempt
to adjust matters.
