UNITED STATES TO BLAME
Berlin Newspaper pi1c"ssss Sinking
Of the Lusitana

Amsterdam, May 17.-All the blame
for the sinking of the Lusitania is
placed on the United States govern
ment by the Berlin Vossische Zeitung,
which argues that the liner took no
care to avoid danger, but considered
it's protection rested in living Amer
lean rampant"
The newspaper asserts 1t was the
American passengers on board who
were to ensure that 5000 cases of
ammunition in the hold would not be
touched 1t is stated that the fact
Americans were being utilized for
this purpose naturally was concealed
from passengers of that nationality.
The Vossische Zeitung says the
American government must start from
this point, must ascertain who was
responsible for the concealment OF
this danger and consider whether il
can allow belligerent states to stake
the lives of American citizens in or

SAY GERMANY WILL Rel US.
View Of London newspapers on De-
mands Of United States.

London, May 1.-THE London
press generally regards it as fore
gone conclusion that Germany will
refuse to comply with President VIII
sons demand that she abandon or
sui stantially change her methods OF
submarine warfare. The newspapers
take the view that this does not neces-
sarily mean war between Germany
and the United States.
They are almost unanimous, how
ever. in declaring that Germanys re-
fusal will throw not only the moral
support of the United States but ma
terial aid to the side Of the allies
Provincial papers as well as those
in London lauded the presidents note
as remarkable appeal to the better
side OF Germany in behalf OF human
ity.

REPLY IS
NOT EXPECTED
Germany May Take Week to
Answer Wilson Note.
OUTCOME Much In DOUBT

Opinion at Washington About Equally
Divided on Possible Attitude of Ger
man Observation-Disclosures Is
Silent in the Meantime.
Washington, May 17.-Surmise con-
cerning Germany's attitude toward
Americas uncompromising opposition
to submarine warfare will continue at
least a week.
Officials point out that it is use
less to look for an answer short OF
that length of time. 1t may even be
longer, the questions involved being
so farreaching that the kaiser and his
advisers may be depended upon to ex-
anime all precedents before framing
any reply.
So far as the United States is con
cerned there will not be a single Of
fetal utterance on the subject in the
meantime
Opinion seems about equally divided
as to the outcome. Officials devoted
to the so called big army and navy
movements openly asserted that Ger
many must contemptuously reject the
American demand. They say that the
president erred in not leaving an op-
tional clause in his note.
Others Go not take this pessimist' c
view. Their view is that because OF
the intimate friendly relations be
tween the two countries Germany can
be expected to exhaust every means
to prevent an open rupture and point
out that the precedents America has
established will fit well into Ger
many's plans, if this is her desire.
Germany Can Accept Suggestion.
Here is the solution that these off
cials suggest:
Germany can accept the concrete
American suggestion. She can an
nounce that in the interests oi
friendship and because she feels she
is right she will suspend indefinitely
her submarine warfare against all
passenger carrying vessels. Then she
will demand that all issues raised by
the United States be submitted to q
competent arbitration court.
The United States, Germany car
point out, Is on record as demandina
first that there can be mo last words
between friends" and, second, that
there can be no justification in ac
cepting mediation and arbitration
when that course is honoraby open
On that record, officials believe. the
United States will be compelled Il
consider arbitration should Germany
ask It,
In submitting the whole submarine
warfare n"CNlem in so far as Ii affect.

perts think Germany will have thu
advantage. They say the German po
sition he's been that nearly every
passenger liner bound for British
ports has her holds iammed with wal
