British Newspaper Accuses Germans Of

London. June 1.-The German note
In reply to the communication OF the
United States concerning the Lusi-
tania, the text Of which is before US
this morning, is a document Of great
Importance In the evolution Of sea law,
and 1t raises questions the substance
OF which concerns us all" says the
Westminster Gazette In an editorial
this morning.
Continuing, the newspaper makes
the point that previous to this war It
was an unquestioned principle that a
belligerent who seized an enemy mer-
chantman was responsible for the
safet--' Of non-com batants whether
passengers or crew. In an extreme
case where, for his own safety, the
belligerent sank the vessel. he was un-
der obligation to care for the passen-
gers and crew.
I'm the early stages Of the war" the
Westminster Gazette continues. 1--WE
saw this obligation honorably acknowl-
edged by the captain OF the Emden and
other German cruisers. The American
note stands for this principle. The re-
ply argues that the danger Of sus-
picious craft is reason for the sinking
Of a vessel SO quickly that her crew
and passengers are unable to escape"

GERMANS ADMIT one MISTAKE

Say American Ship Gulflight Was Mis-.

Washington, June 1.-Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin has been formally
notified that the American steamer
The German submarine commander re-
ported that he failed to notice the Gull
flights American flag and took her for
British vessel
The state department announcement
says:
"The American ambassador at Ber-
lin reports that the chief of the ad-
milarty staff, Admiral Behnke, has
informed him that the commander OF
the submarine which sank the Gull
flight did SO thru mis- take because twc
boats, similar to trawlers. one carrying
wireless apparatus, were apparently
conveying the Gulfiight. The COM
mander, therefore, thought 1t British
boat and did not notice the American
flag on the stern until just after giving
the order to fire."
The Gulfight was attacked in the
English channel on May while
bound from Port Arthur, Tex, for
Rouen. France, with cargo Of oil.
Two members OF the crew were
drowned while taking to the boats
and the captain died the following
day from heart trouble brought on
by his experience.
The steamers bulkhead prevented
her from sinking and she was towed
to Crow sound and beached for re-
pairs.

Note to es Brief.
No announcement was made further
than that the presidents statement
warning the Mexican leaders to i'm
prove conditions would be made pub
lie tomorrow morning. All the cabinet
officers were especially reserved over
what had been said about Germany's
reply to the Lusitania note.
It was generally understood that
while no final conclusion was reached,
the president listened to q varied ex-
preston of views and that the govern
ment's course would be shaped by to-
night or tomorrow at the White
house. where the final decision on
foreign policies must rest during the
adjournment of congress.
The prevailing belief after the cabi-
net meeting was that note, probably
very brief, would be dispatched to
Germany, asking whether the imperial
government intends by its answer to
disregard fundamental principles of
international law. If Germanys
answer indicates an uhwillingness to
recognize what has hitherto been re-
garded universally as accepted prin-
ciples of international law, based on
customs and laws of humanity, the
United States probably will sever
diplomatic relations with Germany.
This view found that expression in
quarters close to the White House and
is looked upon as the most plausible
trend Of the American government
policy.
Bernstorff to Be Told Views.
When Count Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, sees President Wilson to-
morrow, unless he brings some new
proposal differing from the reply
signed by Herr Won Jagow, the Ger
man foreign minister, 1t was believed
today in well informed quarters that
his visit will not affect the character
OF the new American note, altho the
presidents personal views, it was
thought, would be impressed upon the
ambassador and might have some in
fiuence in Berlin on the reception OF
the Forthcoming communication.

HIS FIRST PAIR OF GLASSES
Man Thought He Was "seeins
Things" and Unjustly Blamed
His New Aids to Vision.

1t happened in Boston. He had
gone there to get fitted to some eye
glasses. 1t was he first time he
used them and when the oculist hand
ed them to him he remarked that he
guessed he would put them on and
wear them.
Better not" remarked the oculist.
Wait until you are home and can
get little accustomed to wear
ing them
But the man put them on just the
same, paid the bill, left the Office and
started down the street. Everything
went fine He could see everything in
sight with clearness and distinction.
He turned into Winter street and
threaded his way through the throng.
Suddenly something seemed to go
wrong. Standing out from the rest OF
the crowd appeared an enormous man.
He lowered high above everyone else
on the street. The man again focused
his gaze, thinking it was trick OF
fancy. But there loomed the big man,
feet above him. With a startled ex-
clamation he jumped to the conclusion
that his glasses were the trouble. He
snatched them from his nose and with
his naked eyes looked again.
There he saw the giant man still ap-
proaching-on high stills and bearing
placards of invitation from his en-
ployer. 1t was no fantasy of the
glasses, after all. But he did not put
them on again until after he reached
home.
81 had all wanted of seeing
things" he remarked.

FOR USE IN THE LAUNDRY
an AIkaIi-ExcelIent for Disin-
feeting Clothing.

The best laundry soap (made Of
fat and an alkalD is, during the proc
ess of making, kneaded like dough
This admits air into the soap and
causes it to float when hardened. A
soap that foats dissolves easily in wa
ter and is excellent for disinfecting
purposes. The alkah and the salts of
the fat acids combine with the water
and this solution readily penetrates
porous substances and adheres to solid
surfaces, killing any fully developed
bacteria that it touches.
Such a soap solution combined with
boiling water is invaluable for disin-
fecting clothing from the sick room,
where there has been an infectious
disease. Pour the boiling water and
soap solution down the pipes of the
kitchen sink and the bathroom con-
nections. Use 1t once week at least
for cleansing the garbage receptacle.
The solution may be used for disin-
fecting floors. Have one pail of the
soap and water and another Of clean
hot water. Scrub the floor and base
board with stiff brush dipped in the
soap and water, rinsing the brush
carefully In the hot water after each
application.-Today's Magazine.

SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE
Ones MiscaIeulations Should Be Sc
Fixed In the Mind That They VIII
Not Be Repeated.

Some people learn by observation,
remarks the Milwaukee Journal. Their
eyes are open and their minds alert
to what goes on around them. They
see how other people do things and
the results they gain. When failure
comes they try to find out the cause
Of it. They examine success with care
to learn on what particular thing it
depended. They apply the principles
thus learned to their own business and
reap the benefit of knowledge gained.
There are others who never learn save
through their own experience. Obser-
vation is great aid, but experience
gives unforgettable lessons. Ones
own history should be the most in
structive. Once having come to grief,
the reasons are fixed in the mind.
Foolish indeed is he who twice
stumbles over the same stone. Pope
says, Make each day the critic on the
past" 1t is by considering our fail.
ures that we know how to turn out
perfect work. 1t Is by our mistakes
that we learn how wisely to adjust
ourselves to circumstances and people.
1t is by experience that we gain con-
fidence to meet adversely with cour-
age. What has been done may be
again accomplished. 1t is only the fool
who does not better his life by his
own experience. He is wise who learns
by observation what he should strive
for and what he should avoid
