Cabinet Meeting

Press dispatches giving the
text of the reply came during
the evening and were sent to
the White House. The official
text from Ambassador Gerard
arrived just before midnight
and will be placed before the
President early tomorrow.
There will be cabinet meeting
Tuesday.
From a previous knowledge
Of President Wilson's position
it was generally predicted to-
night that a prompt answer
would be sent to Berlin, perhaps
within "a or 48 hours. This is
expected to give the American
governments understanding of
the facts that the Lusitania
was not armed and carried no
concealed guns, that she sailed
from the United States a peace
full merchantmen and that I'M
der all rules of international
law and humanity the vessel
should have been visited and
searched and her passengers
transferred to place Of safety
whether she carried ammuni-
ton or not.

cut off their retreat, the Austrians re-
tired from Pilcante at sunset leaving
behind arms ammunitions and provi-
sions. They were pursued as far as
Serravalle four miles north, and sew
eral were made prisoners. The It
alians then returned to Pilcante and
Ala where they entrenched themselves
while the Austrians retired to Mort.
In, the mountainous region known
as Settle Cornuni, north of Asiago the
fighting is confined to an artillery at

lencing Of Austrian Notifications on
the high plateau of Del Narone, which,
once conquered would make it easier
for the Italians to march against
Trent along Lake Caldonazzo or
against Rovereto along the Fogliaro
road.
The Austrian forts. most of which
were built only five or six years ago
are replying vigorously to the Italian
bombardment. Most Of these fortifi-
cations have armored easements with
from four to eight guns with a
straight trajectory and from two to
four with a curved trajectory for long
distance firing besides a considerable
number of machine guns. Four Of
these forts, built at an elevation of
$500 feet near Monte Cimone are con-
sidered to be replying more feebly,
indicating that the Italian fire is TAX

In it's reply the German government
declares that it is not it's intention
to submit neutral ships in the war
zone which are guilty Of no hostile
acts, to attacks by submarine or aero

attacks on the American steamers
Cushing and Gulfight and that in all
cases where neutral vessels, through
no fault Of their own, have been
damaged Germany will pay indemni-
fcation. The reply says that in the
case of the Lusitania which Germany
alleged was armed and carried large
stores Of war munitions. it was act

which are guilty Of no hostile acts, to
attacks by submarine or submarines
or aviators. On the contrary, the Ger
man forces have repeatedly been in
structed most specifically to avoid at
tacks on such ships.
III neutral ships in recent months
have suffered through the German
submarine warfare, owing to mistakes
in Identification. 1t Is a question only

which can be attributed to the British
