Berlin, May 30.-Germany with

mands advanced by the United States
governme in connection with the
sinking Of the LuSitania until the re-
ceipt Of an answer from the United
States to the note which Herr Won
JagoW, the foreign minister, has de-
livered to Ambassador Gerard, in re-
ply to the American note received
by the German government on May
18th.
In it's reply the German govern
ment declares that it is not its in
tention to submit neutral ships in the
war zone, which are guilty of no
hostile acts, to attack by submarines
or aeroplanes; that it is Investigate
ing the circumstances in connection
with the attack on the American
steamers Gushing and Gulnight, and
that in all cases where neutral ves-
sells, through no fault Of their own
have been damaged, Germany will
pay mdemnifiCation.
The reply urges that in the case of
the Lusitania, which Germany al
leges, was armed and carried large
stores Of war munitions, at was act
ing in justified self-defense in seek
ing with all the means of warfare
at its disposition to protect the lives
OF the soldiers by destroying ammu-
milton intended for the enemy"
The German government recalls
the proposals submitted by the Uni
ted States government to Berlin and
London, designed to end the subma-
rine warfare and the shutting out Of
food supplies from Germany, which,
1t declares, failed Of their purpose
because of the refusui Of the British
government to agree to them.

Berlin, May 31.-The following is
the text Of the German note:
"The undersigned has the honor
to submit to ambassador Gerard the
following answer to the communca-
ton of May 5 regarding the injury
to American interests through Ger
man submarine warfare:
"The imperial government has
subjected the communication Of the
American government to thorough
investigation. 1t enters also a keen
wish to cooperate in a frank and
friendly way in clearing up a posi-
bic misunderstanding which may
have arisen in the relations between
the two governments through the
events mentioned by the American
government.
"Regarding, firstly, the cases Of
Gulnight: The American embassy
has already been informed that the
German government has no inten-
ton Of submitting neutral ships in
the war zone, which are guilty of no
hostile acts, TO attacks by subma-
rine or submarines, or aviators. On
the contrary, the German forces have
repeatedly been instructed most spe-
cifically to avoid attacks on such
ships.
IF neutral ships in recent months
have suffered through the German
submarine warfare, owing to mis-
takes in Identification, 1t is a ques-

COTTON CROP PROMISES WE'LL.
Condition May 23 is Shown to BE
80.4 Per Cent.

New York, May 29.-According to
Commerce, the percentage condition
of cotton on an average date Of May
% was S0.4 per cent, as compared
with 1872 per cent year ago at this
time; sos per cent in 1913; 76 per
cent in 1912, and S3.S per cent in
1911. This compares with a ten
year average Of 1872 per cent.
Concerning acreage there is still a
very wide range Of opinion, the most
reliable estimates ranging from 10 to
13 per cent reduction, with many of
the best judges inclining to the lower
figure.
Louisiana and Texas, on account of
excessive rains, show the lowest con-
dition, both running about II per
cent. Nearly all other States show
higher average than usual.
While the season averages twelve
days late, most States have made a
fairly normal start, with the excep-
ton Of Texas, Louisina and Alabama
which are IS, 16 and 13 days late,
respectively. The crop is very free
from insects, with the exception of
the appearance Of the boil weevil in
some States. Grass has become
troublesome in some sections, but
stands are generally good, and there
is an excellent season in the ground
Some replanting has been necessary,
but correspondents say that no grain
lands have been turned into cotton
Choppng out is nearly completed,
and the crop AS a whole starts out
with fair prospects.
Condition by States, as compiled
from over 2,100 replies of our spe-
cial correspondents, bearing an aver
age date Of May 23, follows:

its Investigations that a neutral ship,
not itself at fault, was damaged by
German submarines or aviators, has
expressed regret over the unfortu-
nate accident, and if justified by con-
ditions, has offered indemnification
"The cases Of the Gushing and the
Gulflight will be treated on the same
principles. An investigation of both
cases is in progress, the result of
which will presently be communicate

when sinking the British steam
er Falaba the commander Of the Ger
man submarine had the intention of
allowing the passengers and crew a
full opportunity for a safe escape.
Only when the master did not obey
the order to heave to, but fled and
summoned help by rocket signals,
did the German commander order
the crew and passengers by signals
and megaphone to leave the ship
within 10 minutes. He actually al
lowed them 23 minutes time and
fired the torpedo only when suspi-
cious craft were fastening to the as

fee and devotion in the tatherIand's
service.
The German government believes
it was acting in justified self-defense
in seeking with all the means OF
warfare at it's disposition to protect
the lives of its soldiers by Destroy
ing ammunition intended for the en-
emy.
1.-The British shipping company
have been aware Of the danger OF
which the passengers aboard the Lu-
sitania were exposed under these
conditions. The company in en-
barking them, Notwithstanding this,
attempted deliberately to use the
lives Of American citizens as protec-
ton for the ammunition aboard, and
acted against the clear provisions Of
the American law, which expressly
prohibits the forwarding OF passen-
gers on ships carrying ammunition
and provides penalty therefor. The
company, therefore,. is wantonly
guilty of the death of so many pas
sengers.
According to Report.
There can be no doubt, according
to the definite report of the subma-
rine's commander, which is further
confirmed by all other information,
that the quick sinking Of the Lusita-
MIA is primarily attributable to the
explosion Of the ammunition ship
ment caused by a torpedo. The Lu-
sitania passengers would, otherwise,
in all human probability, have been

"Thc imperial government cOnsid-
ers the above mentioned facts i'm
portant enough to recommend them
to the attentive examination Of the
American government.
"The imperial government, while
withholding its final decision on the
demands advanced in connection
with the sinking Of the Lusitania un-
Ill receipt Of an answer from the
American government, feels impelled
in conclusion, to recall here and now,
that it took cognizance with satisfac-
ton OF the mediatory proposals sub
mitted by the United States govern
ment to Berlin and London as a ba-
sis for a modus vivendi for conduct
ing the maritime warfare between
Germany and Great Britain. The i'm
perial government, by its readiness
to enter upon a discussion Of these
proposals, then demonstrated it's
good intentions in ample fashion.
The realization of these proposals
was defeated, as is well known, by
the declinatory attitude OF the Brit
ish government.

FACING TWO BIG PROBLEMS.
President VIII Send Early and Firm
Note to Germany.

Washington, May 81 President
Wilson intends to shape the course
Of the United States in the interna-
tional crisis which has arisen so as
to leave no doubt abroad of the
country's purpose not only to speak,
but if necessary to act, for the cause
of humanity.
Two things were virtually deter
mined on by the President to-day:
First, that Germany's avoidance of
the larger questions Of humanity and
the spirit Of international law by
technical argument on a hitherto un-
disputed point in the statutes Of ma
tions-the exercise Of the right OF
visit and search by war craft when
encountering merchantmen, WI .ther
carrying Contraband or not-m, It be
met promptly with a note again set
ting forth briefly the facts as found
by investigation Of officials here as to
the cargo and peaceful equipment Of
the Lusitania and reiterating the
earnest intention OF the United
States to hold the German govern
ment to a "strict accountability" for
all violations Of American rights on
the high seas.
Note to Mexico To-day.
Second, that, notwithstanding the
critical situation with Germany,
there shall be issued tomorrow the
statement which has been in prepa-
ration for several days to be commu-
nicated to the leaders of all factions
in Mexico, serving notice that unless
they themselves bring to an early end
the deplorable conditions which their
warfare has wrought, some other
means will be found by the United
States, in the interest Of humanity, to
save the millions of nor -combatant
MeXicans from the throes Of starva-
ton and further devastation of prop
erty.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has been granted an in
tervicw with the President for We'd
nesday noon, but unless he brings
some proposal from his government
answering the demands of the United
