PRESIDENT WILSON CONSIDERS
TAKING ACTION ON SINKING
OF LUSITANlA.
MAY BREAK OFF RELATIONS
SeVering of Diplomatic Intercourse
With Germany Possible Result
of Disaster That Cost 100
American Lives.

Washington, D. c., May 10.-While
it is still an undetermined question
what action the United States govern
ment will take as the result of the
sinking of the liner Lusitania by
German submarine, it became known
Sunday night that President Wilson
is considering not only the last and
greatest disaster caused by the war,
but also previous incidents affecting
the United States.
These are the sinking of the Amer
lean steamer Frye, the attack on the
liner Falaba which caused the drown
ing of an American citizen, Leon c.
Thresher, the wrecking without warn
ing of the American tankship Gulf
light. the dropping of bombs on the
American steamer Cushing, and final
ly the sinking of the Lusitania.
The president wants to be certain
whether these incidents range them
selves in order to cause a grave eli
max of carefully planned policy OF
hostility to the United States or
whether the sequence is casual and
the German government desires to
continue friendly relations with the
Washington government.
May Break OFF Relations.
The possibility of the breaking off
of diplomatic relations with Germany
was much discussed in official circles
today and was regarded as the most
likely course of action in the event
that the president decided drastic
measures were necessary.
The breaking OF of diplomatic re-
lations, officials say, would not neces-
sarily mean war. 1t has been done
before. many times in the history of
diplomacy, without war. 1t is further
pointed out that while the president
has no power to declare war, he has
the immediate power to sever sharply
all diplomatic relations.
The most recent example of the
action of this nature by this govern
ment was that of Nicaragua. Secre-
tary of State Knox broke of diplo-
matte connections summarily.
Germany's Note Reau.
Official Washington has taken note
of the defense of Germany as found
in the official statement issued by the
German foreign office last night al
firming that the Lusitania was an
armed vessel and that owners alone
must bear all the responsibility for
what has happened

survivor estimated, and certainly
within half an hour, the Lusitania
had disappeared.

America Gets News Early.
New York. May THE first news
Of the torpedoing and sinking OF the
Lusitania came shortly after D. m.
on Friday through an announcement
from the local offices of the Cunard
line, which stated thGt an uncon-
irmed rumor to that effect has been
received from abroad. Less than an
hour later the company had made
public additional messages confirm
ing the report which, in the mean
time, however. had been verified by
newspaper dispatches from London.

OBSTRUCTION OF Snip FlanneQ.
Reports from Washington that it
was privately known in official quar-
ters that the Lusitania was to be tor
pedoed at the first opportunity gave
color to the opinion expressed in
shipping circles Friday night that the
embassy's warning was intended to
apply particularly to the Lusitania.
Travellers intending TO embark on
the Atlantic voyage" read the adver-
tisement. ARE reminded that a state
of war exists between Germany and
her allies and Great Britain and her
allies that the zone of war includes
the waters adjacent to the British
Isles; that, in accordance with formal
notice given by the imperial govern
ment, vessels flying the flag of Great
Britain or any of her allies are liable
to destruction in these waters and
that travellers sailing in the war zone
on the ships of Great Britain or her
allies do so at their own risk"
Among the well known passengers
on the Lusitania are Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, Charles T. Bowring of
New York, head of the firm of Bow
ring Bros; Alexander Campbell, gen
eral manager for John Dewar & Sons,
London; Ebert Hubbard, publisher
of Philistine; D. A. Thomas, the veal
Thy Welsh coal operator, and his
daughter, Lady Mackworth.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was among those
credited with receiving anonymous
letters of warning All deprecated
the possibility of danger to the ship,
and Charles P. Sumner, general agent
of the line, announced at the time
that the Lusitania's speed of twenty
five knots made it immune from sub
marine attack.
Washington Stunned BY Loss.
Washington, d. c., May DE
struction of the Lusitania with the
loss OF many lives shocked officials of
the United States government and
spread profound grief in the national
capital.
The warning of the United States
that Germany would be held to
"strict accountability for the loss OF
American lives, irrespective of
whether they were aboard belligerent
or neutral vessels when attacked, TO-
cussed attention on the White house,
where President Wilson until late in
the night read the dispatches with
grave interest. The president made
no comment officials said facts and
circumstances would have 10 be OBJ
tanned by careful investigation dur
ing the next few days before any an
nouncement could be made by the
American government.
Claim Liner Carried Arms.
At the German mbassy here while
no comment was made as TO whether
1t was known there that the vessel
was TO be destroyed, it was said the
embassy knew the Lusitania' carried
arms and ammunition, and being ad-
vised of the resolution of the German
admiralty to attack ships that carried
such contraband, officials had be-
lieved ii would be attacked. There
was a disposition on the part of the
Germans to inquire whether the Lusi-
tania carried any guns on her decks
which might place il in the class of
a warship and make unnecessary. &C
