GERMAN REPLY WILL
 SATISFY AMERICANS
Claim in German Quarters at wasii- ington Regarding Answer to
 Wilson's Note.

Washington, May 25.--President
 Wilson told callers today he did not know the causes for the delay of the German reply to the American note on the Lusitania, but he presumed the German government was, for the mo- ment, absorbed in the new circum- stances arising from Isaly's entrance into the war. Z
 While Ambassador Gerard has sent several messages bearing on what the German reply may be no direct inti- nation had been received concern ing its contents, and the American government is really uniformed.
 The German embassy here. how ever, has made suggestions to the German foreign office for the reply, and in German quarters 1t is said the note will be of character to satisfy American public opinion.
 While declining to throw any light on the shipping situation as between Great Britain and the United States, the president alluded to it as chronic case. It was learned that he believed any formal note at this time to Great Britain might be con- strued as a weakening of the Amer 'lcan governments position in it's deli cate relations with Germany, but as soon as the Berlin reply is received some action may be expected. Pres 1 sure is constantly being brought to bear informally, however, on the | British foreign office and admiralty | to ameliorate conditions with respect 1 10 American cargoes and ships and if | not relieved shortly general represen- tations of 8 broad character would not be surprising.

Sluggish,

Bedding, Cal. May 25.-Greater ruin was wrought by Saturdays erup- tion of Lassen Peak than first be- lieved. according to stories brought here today by returning Investigating parties who traveied over almost in- passab1e roads and through a raging storm to reach the edge of the danger zone.
 Widespread damage to standing timber was the most evident destruc- tion done by the mountains eruption. The mud torrents and the showers of super-heated rocks and boulders are reported to have ruined million feet of timber. Trees were snapped off at their trunks and the hail of heavy stones swept through large areas of forest like gigantic scythe. Tangles of timber caught fire from the hot lava, but rain soon quenched the flames,
 The mud stream in Hat Creek was still moving today. but it has cooled and flows sluggishly.

WOMAN MURDERED IN
 BOAT IN L. I. SOUND
Belief of Bridgeport Police Regarding Body of Stranger Found on Shore
 of Yellow Miu Pond.

Bridgeport, May 25.-The police to- day continued their efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding the finding here yesterday, on the shore of Yei- low Mill Pond, of the dismem bered torso of a woman. The body was un- earthed by laborers who were at work grading, and had only the right arm and hand attached, the head and other members being missing. The body was clad in white chemise and white night gown, and wrapped in a sheet which had been sewed up with heavy cord. There-were no marks of idcn- tification on the garments and the only clew so far discovered by the po- lice is the mark "B 25" found on a mans garments dug up not far from the spot where the body was buried.
 The medical examiner. who made an autopsy, said there was no ques- ton but what the woman, was mur- dered. She could not have been more than 30 years old, he said. and the condition of the hand and its well-kept nails indicated that she had not been accustomed to hard work. The autopsy showed normal conditions and normal health at the time of death, he said.
 It was recalled today that about seventeen years ago the dismembered body of Miss Emma Gill was found in Yellow Mill Pond not far from where the body was dug up yester- day. On that occasion articles of clothing found about the body bore the mark "G 51." This turned out to be laundry mark and led to the identity Of the woman and the ul- innate clearing up the case.
 Tn the opinion of the police, the woman, whose body was found yes- terday. was a stranger to Bridgeport. and they have advanced the theory that she may have been murdered on a boat in Long Island Sound and the body cut up and brought ashore for burial.

other countries, and 1t is confident ly expected that great development in our trade relations with such coun- tries will result.
 Greater ReIianco on Resources. Need for greater reliance on their own resourceS Is one lesson which the European war has brought home to the nations not involved, in the opinion Of Paul M. Warburg. member of the federal reserve board.
 Mir. Warburg pointed out that when the war began England, then acting as banker for the world, felt forced to ask for some of the vast sums due her and that this request was re- fiected in varying degrees in coun- tries that were in her debt. He spoke of the acute situation which re- suited in the United States and else- where on this hemisphere, and added:
 Lesson for Americans.
 ''The lesson which all American na- ttoas will have to learn from last years experience is that is unwise for the world to place it financial de- pcndence upon any single nation, and that those who can afford to do so. as for instance the United States, should from this time on adopt a policy of greater reliance upon their own resources Those countries which cannot rely exclusively upon their own resources should adopt a policy of dividing their risks of financial dependence az evenly and as widely as they possibly can.
 Europe has done much in develop tng both the northern and southern parts of this hemisphere. European banks and bankers have been our stauncl1 and loyal friends in the past It would be unbecoming to us and dis loyal at the same time were we to forget this or to attempt to profit from their misfortune. But our growth and development and the un- happy fate that has overcome Europe have combined to bring about a mo- mentous turning point in our econo- mic history. In the future the new world must lean less heavily on the old.
 Not Seeking First Place.
 There is no difference of conser- vative opinion that the United States does not aspire now to take tho place of Europc's leading financial powers Our own f1cid of operations ts still L0O yctSt JO Cl1n0@6 LIS OT u J0nuSIs It even desirabie for ns to become the worlds banker at this stage of our development. But the safety of all countries--and we include England An1org their numbers-demands that if again the latter should find herself forged to call upon her debtors for instant payment there should be at least ono country strong and inde- pendent enough to shoulder q sub- stantiaI portion of the burden.
 The development Of all American nation lies in the same direction. though there will be difference in degre0. 1t must be. the aim of the United States from now on to move rapidly toward entire financial fnde- pendence. It must be the aim Of her sister republics so to divide ths ere dits needed for their further develop nent that the temporary breakdown
