EXTENDS SYMPATHY TO U. S.
Severance of Diplomatic Relations
With German Empire Hinted as Re-
prisals for Sinking Of Lusitania-
Bernstorf Expresses Regret.

WEBSTER Newspaper Union News Servic.
Washington, D.. Count Berns-
torff, the German ambassador, called
at the state department May 10 and
expressed to Secretary Bryan his
deep regret that the events of the war
had led to the loss Of SO many Ameri-
can lives"
Later press dispatches from Berlin
announced thai the foreign office had
cabled to the embassy a note to be
presented to the state department., ex-
pressing deepest sympathy at the loss
of lives on board the Lusitania.' but
placing the responsibility upon the
British governments plan of starv'
ing the civilian population of Ger
many.
Berlin announced the following dis
patch had been sent by the German
foreign office to the German embassy
at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the state departments: The German
government desires to express its
deepest sympathy at the loss OF lives
on board the Lusitania. The respon-
sibili1y rests, however, with the Brit
ish government, which, through its
plan of starving the civilian popula-
ton of Germany, has forced Germany
TO resort to retaliatOry measures.
In spite of the erman offer to stop
the submarine war in case he starva-
ton plan was given up. British mer-
chant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and lave repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, so that a
previous search was impossible.
"They cannot therefore be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A re
cent declaration made to the British
parliament by the parliamentary Sec
rotary in answer to a question by
Lord Beresford said that at the present
practically all British merchant YES
sells were armed and provided with
hand g%renades.
"Besides, it has been openly admit
ted by the English press that the Lu-
sitania on previous voyages repeatedly
carried large quantities of wal mate
rial. On the present voyage the Lu-
sitania carried 5.40O cases of ammu-
milton. While the rest Of the cargo also
consisted chiefly Of c~ontraband.
IF England, after repeated official
IL UNIV iAio
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk md thus lightheartedly as
sumed responsibility for the human
life or board a steamer. which, owing
to its armament and cargo, was liable
to destruction, the German government
in spite of it's heartfelt sympathy for
the loss of American lives. cannot but
regret that Americans felt more in
cline to trust to English promises
rather than to a attention to the
warnings frsm the German side.
{Signed) Foreign Office
That America must settle herself di-
rectly With Germany for these acts
was the substance of opinion among
the diplomatic reports of allied powers.
Their is discussion here Of the sug
gestio7 that the United States sever
diplomatic relations with Germany
without a declaration of war.

FOREIGN MONEY.
LOSES RALLY At
MARKET OPENING
Sterling Again Touched the
Bottom Quotation, Francs
and Lire Falling.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE slight i'm
provement in foreign exchange rates
gained in yesterdays late rally was
wiped out at the opening of the ex-
change market today. Pounds sterl-
ing again touched the bottom quota
ton of $4.64; francs made new low
record, GOA, two cents under yester-
days lowest quotation and Italian
lires were actually weak, falling to
6.54, six cents below the previous low
record.
The exchange markets again were
demoralized. Quotations issued sim
ultaneously by leading banking houses
showed variations of cent to cent
and a half on sterling.
Nearly five million dollars in for
eign coin reached Wall street from
Ottawa for the account of Great
Britain. This, it was reported, prac-
tically exhausted the Bank of Eng
land speciaN deposits of about $780,
100000 there, nearly all of which had
already been shipped to the United
States. At the office of ]. P. Morgan
& Co., to whom the gold was con-
signed it was said that no further con-
signment from Attawa were expected
The arrival of this gold, however,
failed to defect the rate upward, the
sum being but small fraction of the
bills which American manufacturers
and shippers of war munitions are
pressing against buyers aboard.
With the American dollar en-
throned as monarch of the exchange
markets, bankers looked to England
to protect her credit by the establish
ment of huge war loan. Overnight
cable reports from London telling that
English bankers were talking of the
establishment of such loan were
discussed with interest in financial
circles.

games for the Snappers and was mas
ter at all times. Reinhardt caught
well. Nelson made his first appear
ance as one of the "Oat Boys" and did
good work in the receiving line. Wal
