PAPER DECLARES GERMANY
WON'T BE DISTURBED BY U. S.

Berlin. Germany, MAY 1S.-None OF
the German papers has been permitted
to publish the American note to Ger
many, but the afternoon papers on
Monday printed the version Of it as
telegraphed by the Havas agency. All
refrained from comment except the LO-
kal Anzeiger. which says:
The German government certainly
will not delay long with the answer re-
quested, and probably will reply that in
occupying itself with its sacred duties
it is not to be disturbed from any side
That the American government
should consider the Lusitania as a
harmless packet boat, without taking
notice Of the fact that it was really an
auxiliary cruiser and an ammunition
steamer Of the British navy, appears to
US scarcely believable. But the German
answer to Washington will make it
comprehensive to Mr.. Wilson, in Ian
guage as polite as il will be clear. that
we must conduct the war as we are
conducting it and can conduct It with
a clear conscience"
The TaElische Rundschau. comment
ing on the reports that the LusitanIa
incident has caused a growing in
sight In America, says.
This insight will probably lead to
the discovery that England really is the
guilty party because il took ammuni-

ties he said. Personally, I think
there is nothing that better shows the
fOrb earance, patience and fairness, on
the part both Of the civilians and the
military authorities along the border. as
the handling Of the situation created
by the strife just across the line. There
have been many irritations, but the Of
ficers have remained imperturbable;
ready TO do their duty at ali times
Fairness has uniformly characterized

a year, holding the rank of colonel
He had severed all connections WIKI the
army about Is days before coming to
FL Paso and intended to peacefully live
here and have no further connection
with any faction, he stated He de-
clared that. If released, he would not 60
back TO Mexico or in any way Identify
himself with the fractional strife.
Attorneys for the defence stated that
documentary evidence in the case tend
ed to show that QueevdO was being
