The text OF the German reply,
though press dispatches report that il
was given Ambassador Gerard this
morning. has not yet been received
here. The summary cabled from Ber-
lin has been placed in the hands OF
both President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, but neither has made any COM
ment. President Wilson is known to
have been deeply discouraged by the tone
which the summary indicates that the
reply will take. No statement will be
made, however, at least, until the full
text has been received and carefully
considered. II is not now believed pos
sible that the note can be put into the
Presidents hands before Sunday nigh,
at the earliest.
Disposition to Go Slow.
Notwithstanding the irritation and
the annoyance over the German an
swer, there is disposition to go slow.
In the note Germany has made one
bluff, and this will be quickly called
She has insnuated that the Lusitsnis
had two guns mounted concealed below
decks. Dudley Field Malone, Collector
of the Port Of New York, has infor-
mstio nto the contrary.
Germany also insinuates that the
Lusitania carried munitions OF war
contrary to the laws OF the United
States. The government can prove,
through the sworn manifest OF the
Lusitania, that this was not the case.
A for carrying canadian troops" IL
is absurd to suppose that the presence
Of few Canadian soldiers among
twelve hundred passengers would trans
form the liner into transport.
1t Is known, in fact, that the United
States government is prepared 20 con.
trovert every one OF the points mem
toned in the summary OF the German
position as published here.
Britain to Aid Proof.
The British Ambassador here IS pre-
pairing 10 transmit assurances from the
British government that the Lusitsnia
was not armed and that she could not
be carried on the naval lists as an aux
iliary cruiser unless she were armed
and commissioned, the latter change
from peaceful merchantmen TO an
auxiliary cruiser being possible. ae-
cording to British practice, only In
homo ports.
The United States, moreover, holds
that the carrying Of arms and ammu-
milton and other contraband or few
unarmed individuals who might be
prospective soldiers does not destroy
the right under international law and
humanity OF the belligerent merchant
man TO be visited and searched before
being destroyed and the neutral or non
combatant passengers transferred to
place of safety. While the exact
phraseology of the German reply is
awaited with much interest, there was
feeling Of pessimism in many quar-
ters over the reported evasion OF Presi'
/ dent Wilson's demands.
President Wilson asked Germany to
discontinue its submarine warfare. and
J Germany ignores this request. In sd-
dition. a statement submitted to Am
bassador Gerard to-day BY the German
government warns Americans and otner
neutrals to use additional safeguards
on their ships TO keep from being tor
pedoed in the German war zone.
A grave factor has been added TO the
situation by the finding of the Amer''
can Commission appointed by Am

Helen, snapped off the light in the
hall and went wearily to her room.
All night she had sat at the bedside
of old Mrs Curtis. who had died early
that morning. Ever since she and
Warren had arrived the reigns of gov
ernment had been handed over to
Helen. Carrie had lost control of
herself and could do nothing. All the
caustic element usually so paramount
in her makeup had disappeared for
the time. and she obeyed Helens
slightest commands unquestionably,
The doctor had not left the bed
SIDE OF the patient. A nurse had
been summoned, but Helen had been
the mainstay of the family It had
been Helen this and Helen that. War
rem felt the blow keenly and warm
hearted, impetuous Bob had broken
down like child and at the last had
sobbed audibly.
Old Mrs. Curtis had not fully re-
covered consciousness. She had sunk
into a coma and her struggling for
breath had heen the sign that she
lived at all. ele doctor had said that
she was too old to battle with an at
tack of pneumonia as sharp as the one
that had struck her and that the
fight had been a short one.
Helen knew that, although her body
was tired and she was so sleepy, that
her eyes remained open through main
force only, there would be enough to
do about the house Carrie seemed to
have no volition at all. The white
capped silent footed nurse had led
her away at daybreak and as Helen
paused a moment at Carries door she
heard her audible sobbing. Then she
went in.
Carrie Takes Advice and Falls Asleep
Carrie" she said softly. you must
try to get some sleep. Please don't
cry like this, think of Fred and little
Roy"
You don't know" Carrie muttered,
turning over, wait till it strikes you,
then you'll understand"
Helen heard this with a sharp stab
of pain. Her own mother had years
to live, death seemed impossible when
thought of in connection with her.
The nurse passed down the hall as
Helen hesitated uncertain as to what
to do. She stopped when she saw
the door ajar and then knocked and
Helen turned and clasped her hands
impulsively.
Carrie was still sobbing, her should
ers heaving and her breath coming in
fearless gasps.
Cant you give her something"
said Helen softly.
The nurse nodded. "You sit by
her a minute she. whispered. "Tll
be right back"
Helen sat by the bedside and in
few minutes the nurse returned.
She held a glass filled with trans
parent liquid in her hand.
Drink this" she said soothingly,
bending over Carrie and lifting her
up with a practised hand.
Carrie pushed the glass away.
But you must drink" persisted
the nurse. land get some rest. You

to pieces this way you won't be able
to help any one"
Carrie hesitated and then drank
the liquid obedient1y. The nurse low
cred her to the pillow and Helen
slipped hand into the feverish one
that lay on the spread.
Slowly the convulsive sobbing ceas-
ed and at last Carrie slept with line
of pain showing between her eyes.
You needn't stay here any longer
now." whispered the nurse. She will
sleep for some time now, and the lit
tie boy needs you"
Helen rose and followed the nurse
out of the room. where is my hus-
band" she whispered.
practically. "They are all downstairs
in the diningroom. You'd better come
down and get cup of coffee to steady
you. At least, after you have seen
the baby"
How did he happen to wake up?"
questioned Helen, as she followed the
nurse to the room where little Roy
slept.
"I guess the poor child hasn't slept
much with all the running about and
the unaccustomed noise"
81 want my mamma" walled Roy
as Helen opened the door and went
into the room.
Mother is asleep. now, dear" she
said tenderly, coming over and TAX
ing him up on her lap. Aunt Helen
will tell you story"
Helen Put the Little Boy Into His Bed
Roy was generally only too glad
to hear one of Helen's famous stories
and Helen recalled suddenly how old
Mrs. Curtis had said that they were
bad for the boy, filling his head with
| tommyrot. she had said viciously.
Helen stifled a sigh. Well, Mrs. Cur
tbs was dead, there was no need of
recalling unpleasant happenings of
the past. She would never again OBJ
ject to anything that she, Helen,
| might do.
"I don't want a story" said Roy.
His eyes were heavy and his cheeks
were wet with tears. Poor little fel-
low, he was worn out. II want my
mamma" he screamed. Where is
she, where's grandma? ?"
Listen, Roy" said Helen, little
note of command in her voice. She
motioned with her hand for the
nurse to leave her alone with the
child. Mother will come to you
later after she has had nap. Why
don't you take a nap, too? Then you'll
be all bright when she wakes up"
And Helen began a song, a little
grooming melody with a refrain that
was partly a hum. Slowly Roy's eye
lids dropped and when Helen had
sung the refrain twice over the
weary child was asleep.
She carried him over to the tiny
rumpled bed, and put him down. Then
she lowered the shades and tiptoed
out. Warren met her in the hall and
without word she went to him and
he took her in his arms. 1t was good
to feel him holding her closely, she
felt very near and dear to him just
then.
(Another incident in this interesting
tale will appear here soon.)
