Berlin. via London, May 22-The Italian crisis absorbs the attention Of both public and official circles here Little is heard of the Lusitania case and it is stated that Germany's reply to the American note cannot be ex- pected before next Tuesday or We'd nesday
 It would now be no surprise if the German reply, in addition to a defense of the German position regarding sub marine warfare and particularly of it's case for the sinking of the Lusitania with the alleged shipment of ammuni- ton, should contain certain proposals whicn might serve as a basis for fur ther negotiations between Germany and the United States.
 America's compromise proposal, made in a previous communication for a cessation of submarine and mine warfare in return for an abandonment by Great Britain of her starving out policy will almost certainly be re- ferred to. It will be pointed out that Germany's acceptance in principle of the suggestion Is still in force.

having company attorneys withdrawn as assistants to state attorneys in prosecuting strikers When he had been informed that the comgany's at torueys had been commissioned to as sist in such prosecutions they were withdrawn from all such cases before the trial of John R. Lawson began. The letter to Wfborn said in part
 "As soon as private interests, whether individual or corporate, par ticipate by private counsel in the pros cautions. the proceedings begin to take on an appearance of private vengeance, rather than an inn artial administration of justice.'
 T wanted to be sure that justice was being administered without inter ference by the company 10 which | was related, said the witness.
 The chairman questioned Mr. Rock efeller more at length regarding his views on the right of men to resort to violence, Mir. Rockefeller replying
 T will be glad to state the only principle upon which l think a man is justified in opposing an officer of the law If his life is immediately in dan ger and if he feels that the situat'on is such that when he is brought be fore court of justice to defend his action the circumstances will lead to his acquittal then I think he is iust- fled in resorting to violence"
 
 I. l.. Lee publicity agent for the Rockefeller interests, the next wit. ness, declined to say whether he wrote public statements appearing under Mir. Rockefeler's name Char man Walsh said the commissit~, would take up later the question Of compelling him to reply.
 Mr Lee was asked to explain the suage stion that Governor Ammons of Colorado, write a letter to President Wilson and governors of the states 10 clear up facts regarding the strike. Lee said Major Edward J. Boughton of Colorado had conferred in Now York with Mir. Greene, formerly direc- tor of the Colorado Fuel and Iron ' tiliJtilf i1Of-llAbil. lt SdiNs W ftH sent to New York by Governor Am mons, who was anxious to get the facts more adequately before the qub- lie Lee said he sugg sted the Bough- ton through Greene, that the governor write a letter to President Wilson and governors setting forth the situ- ation as he saw it. Boughton sug- eested Lee give a memorandum sue- gestng what kind of a letter would do good
 Good 10 whom?" asked Walsh.
 Good for the general cause" said Lee.

 spondence between British offic als and the advisers offering a nlan for the treatment of American owned feeds. Originally the time limit for the shipment out of Germany of Amer ican goods, ordered before March 1. was set for June 1; but the BritsA government announced several day ago that this period had been extend ed until June | 5.
 In granting this conc assion. British officials are understood to have re ferred to it as a concession to the United States government and th.s. as well as other features of the plan whereby American owned goods We're to be shipped through neutral ports from Germany 10 the United States, caused the state department to be- lieye any acquiescence would be con strued as a legal recognition of the British order in council.
 Until a different understanding is reached or the plan for the handling of American goods is vitally changed, the foreign trade advisers will not participate in any conferences on be- half of American importers or expo t. CTS. Individually, American mer- chants. of course, can continue their negotiations with the British govern ment through the British embassy here or at London.
 As chairman of the congres ional committee selected last october to give attention to the subject of cct- ton exports, Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia issued a statement tonight in reply to the memorandum of the Brit ish foreign office publianed Thursday He declares that the British communi- cation "suro~ised all familiar with the facts and astonished students of in- teruational law"
 "At the last session of congress" he add there was a strong senii- ment in favor of stopping the expor- tation of munitions of war to the al lies. Unless this order in council is modified when congress meets, the eX- portation of munitions of war will be stopped and the action by congress may go much further"

Washineton, May 22.-The determi- nation of the United States govern. ment not to recognize or be bound hy the provisions of the British order in counciI Wnich declared an em- bargo on all commercial intercourse directly with Germany as well as in ward or optward bound through neu- tral counties, was manifested in sev- oral ways today
 The forcing trade advisers of tha state department announced they had decided 10 suspend all conferences with British embassy officials here to assist American cotton exporters in obtaining payment for cargoes detained, and also 10 secure for tre American importers American-owned goods now in Germany, contractei for before the order in council went into effect Secretary Bryan said this step had been taken to secure a bet ter understanding with the British government as to the capacity in which the foreicn trade advisers were acting.
 Ambassador Page at London was i'm structed also to ucuire Of the Brit ish foreign office the meaning of the statement issued Thursday. that the terms of an arrangement between American cotton representatives and the British government were accept. able to the United States government
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador here, called on Secretary Bryan during the day 10 explain that he also had understood that the Unit ed Statets government was not to be considered as having recognized the British order in council
 Some error is understood to have been made in London on the subject
 The decision of the trade advisers however, was report i'd before the British foreign office memorandum was issued and was based on differ ences of a practical character as to the shipment of American-owned d goods from Germany through neutral countries, some of wlich had been contracted for and some of which had even been paid for before the order in council was issued
 While the officials of the depart ment were reticent, these differerca- are understood to relate to core

It is not at all improbable that Ger many also will advance an alternativak suggestion that the United States px init it's nationals to travel on s belonging to belligerents only if flfese vessels are certified by the United States as having no munitions cff war aboard and that such certifiedj ships would not be subject to torYedoing without notice
 Reports circulated in the United States recently that Germany 9ad pro- posed arbitration are autAoritatively denied here.
 Regarding the case of the steamer Gulflight, which is included in Presi- dent Wilson's representaticvs on the alleged submarine illegalities the ad. miralty has reason to believe. it is statetd, that this ship was not dam aged by a submarine but from some other cause. None of tine bubmarine commanders has reported the damag- ing of the Gulflight and so much time has elapsed that all underwater bbats which might possibly have torpedped the vessel have now returned to Ilew bases.

 The eruption occurred at 4;30 nm. Three almost simultaneous and ti- tanic bursts of smoke and steam we-a followed by two lesser ones.
