LONDON CLAIMS
GERMANY WILL
JUSTIFY STAND
Kaiser to Put Full Response.
bility for Heavy Loss of
Life on England and Unit.
ed States.

LONDON, May 1S.-That both the
United States and England were re-
sponsible for the Lusitania disaster
will be the assertion of Germany in her
reply to the note of President Wilson,
according to a dispatch received today
by the Exchange Telegraph company.
The dispatch states that the reply
TO the American note will be sent
Thursday. and that it will place full
responsibility for the heavy loss of
life upon the American government as
we'll as on Great Britain.
Justifies Submarine Act.
The reply, the dispatch adds, will
contain an emphatic declaration that
Germany is to continue her submarine
warfare.
The English government is watching
the German-American DEVELOPMENTS
closely. While none of the chief Of
ficials will consent 10 be quoted, there
is apparent a strong belief that the
optimism reported to be prevailing in
Washington is entirely misplaced, and
that Germany will make no conces-
sions whatever.
Contents Of Note.
1T Is learned that the German re-
ply to the American note will be sent
Thursday. The reply justifies the at
tack upon the Lusitania on the ground
that the captain Of the submarine re.
ports that he fired only one torpedo
and that the second explosion on the
Lusitania was due to munitions the
vessels was carrying. The submarine
according to its captain, discharged
the torpedo in such a way that the Lu
sitania would not have sunk if she
had not been carrying explosives.
Germany throws the responsibility
for the disaster upon England and
America, holding that America per
mitted the embarkation of passengers
on board vessel loaded with ex-
plosives.
"The note will conclude by saying
that Germany will continue her sub.
marine warfare, but expressing at the
same time the hope that America will
Not fail to understand the necessity
under which Germany is compelled
to do So"

LONDON, May 18.-For the first
time since the war began, dissension
has broken out in the British cabinet.
Differences have arisen between Win
ston Spencer Churchill, first lord of
the admiralty, and Baron Fisher, first
sea lord of the admiralty, over Great
Britain's naval policy. 1t was reported
today that Baron Fisher would resign.
Underlying these differences is the
sentiment that the loss of the Lusi-
tania through inadequate naval pro-
lection had something to do with the
clash. However, the real causes are

NEW YORK, May 18.-More than a
million persons lined the Hudson river
and occupied places of vantage on the
tops of high buildings today as Presi-
dent Wilson and New York city bade
farewell to the greatest American
fleet that has ever gathered for a
presidential review. Weather condi.
tions were ideal President Wilson
reviewed the fleet from the naval
yacht Mayflower near the Statute OF
Liberty. AS each battleship passed
the yacht it fired a salute of twenty
one guns from its three-inch pieces.
In all 1886 saluting shots were fired
from six battleships. In the harbor
tugs and other steamships shrieked a
frantic goodbye from whistles and
syrons, and on shore cheers rang out
in salvoes as the great ships, led by

Separation of Ships Carry

WASHINGTON, May 18-Interest
of Washington officialdom today con-
tinued to be centered on the probable
counter proposals the German govern
ment will make in reply to President
Wilson's note on the sinking of the
Lusitania.
The outstanding feature of the
views as privately expressed by those
close to the administration seems to
be that this government will not be
satisfied with an suggestion from
Germany that falls short of the ac-
ceptance of the principles Of humanity
and law as set forth in the president g
note.
Speech Answers Suggestion.
This view was based largely on
President Wilson's speech in New
York yesterday, when the chief execu-
tive set up high standard of moral
policy for this country The speech
was viewed here as an indirect an,
swer to suggestions of bargain with
Germany.
There was a strong belief among
officials, however. that while the
thought of arbitration might not be
entertained, an agreement might be
reached should Germany admit the
legality and justice of the American
argument and describe her subma.
rine acts merely as reprisals of war
This, it was believed, might open
the way for temporary agreement
that the belligerents refrain from car
rying contrabands on passenger ships
or give assurance that merchant yes
sells carrying passengers would no,
arm or resist capture at the hands oi
submarines.
Still Held Accountable.
In the event OF such an understand
Ting, however, the American govern
ment would in no manner recede from
4 its original position that the German
government must be held to "stric
accountability" and, that the right o
Americans to travel when and WHERE
they please must remain unabridged
One Of the proposals expected from
Germany is that the kaiser woulC
agree to safeguard American lives
but without interference with the orig
inally announced submarine warfare
1t is not believed this government viii
be satisfied with a mere promise o
future carefulness on Germany's part
but will insist that Germany recog
nize that the attitude taken by thu
United States is just and its principle
one that the German government here
after should observe.
German Proposals.
Among the German proposals e1
pected are the following:
That the United States compel :
separation of passenger carrying ant
contraband carrying ships on the higl
seas.
That she obtain concession from
Great Britain in that nations food
stuff war on Germany.
That the submarine warfare of th'
kaiser cease while the United States
is negotiating with Great Britain; ant
finally,
THAT the matter of reparation il
the Lusitania tragedy be submitted t.

the coast for two weeks.
1t was a sight to cause thrills as
the mighty fleet of giants steamed in
perfect alignment down the bay, the
long black muzzles of the guns loom

Precautions had been taken to avoid
accidents in the Hudson river. All
river craft had to keep clear of the
main channel. President Wilson spent

only $4,000 During the first quarter
Of 1915 fifty more carloads of stock
have been sold than during the last
year when two trainloads Of fifty car
loads each were sold.

that the receiver for the M. Rumely
company will be discharged by Judge
Anderson Of Indianapolis, in compli-
ance with the petition, sometime in
June.

Both King George and Premier AS

without success, and Baron Fisher is
