Berlin. July l1.-Germany's latest
oter, embodied in the reply 10 the
United States note regarding the
sin:;ing OF the I.nsitaD.a and subma-
marine warfare, is as follows:
First-Reiteratod assurance that

Second-The German submarines

passenger ships to pass freely and

turn the confident hope that the
American government will see that
these ships do not carry COntraband;

to permit America to place four hos

American flag to ply between North
America and Europe under the same
conditions.
Germany declares that E%ngland's
closing of the North sea, her procla-
nation of a starvation blockade and
her general disregard of International
rules of warfare are alone responsible
for submarine warfare. The note rec
ognizes that this blockade imperils
neutralS, but in this connection the
declaration is made that Germany'S

people.
German Position on Lusitania.
The German position on the Lusi-
tania, set forth as follows, is deemed
especially important;
The case of the I~.usitania shows
with horrible clearness to what ieop-
ardiZing of human lives the manner
of conducting "a employed by our
a~dversaries leads. In the most direct
contradiction of international law, all
distinctions between merchantmen

therefor and mont 20 1s who ,,cn

IF the commander of the German
submarine which destroyed the Lusi-

firing a torpedo this would have meant
the sure destruction of his own yes

RESCUE BY A DEER ISLE CAPTAIN,

The schooner Jeremiah Smith, Capt.
Ed. I. Marshall, recently discharged a
cargo of coal at Stonington, and the Deer
Isle Messenger says: "On the passage
west with lumber from Bridgewater. N.
S., Capt. Marshall had thrilling expert
ence in the heavy northwest gale pre-
vailing at the time in the rescue of
motor-boat party of six, three young
men and three young ladies, whose boat
at the time was in sinking condition
and Certainly could not have kept afoat
much longer. The young women were
crying and screaming, and as the great
schooner hauled alongside and hands were
reached out to the shipwrecked party
Capt. Marshall says it was as good as
circus to note the alacrity with which
the young women, half crazed and n.y.
sterical, clambered up the side of the
boat and the rigging. The launch was
fast breaking up and had to be aban-
doned. The captain and his men yielded
all belongings necessary to the comfort
of the young people and the next day
hailed tugboat and sent the six to land
at Beverly"

HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE?

The limits of preparedness, however
broad Or narrow, ought to be determined
by both of two different needs: first, the
need for limited aggressive strength,
and, secondly, the need for defensive
strength, limited, but capable of sudden
effective expansion.
just how much aggressive strength
the United States will hereafter need de-
ponds on the issue of the present Eu-
ropean struggle. If Germany comes
out of the war holding Belgium, main
tanning her complete military organiza-
ton, and both free and able to enlarge
her navy, the United States, in defense
of her own rights and of the rights of
all the free nations of the world, will
need to join the Alliance which has been
holding Germany in check, though thus
far unable to defeat her. In joining that
Alliance, the United States will wish to
fur ish such a quota of vessels, men,
and munitions as will be suitable for
rich nation 100, 900, 900 strong, and united
in adherence to fixed standards of public
and private liberty, truthfulness, and
justice. If, on the other hand, the En-
tente nations succeed in defeating the
German undertakings in the present war,
or in bringing the contest to stalemate,
there will probably result an interna-
tional league for the prevention of war,
in which the United States will wish to
take part, if requested by the Entente
belligerents to do SO. In that case this
country must be prepared to furnish
whatever quota the International Coun-
CT or Commission, created by treaty for
the prevention Of war, asks of US. The
quota of the United States in the second
case would, of course, be smaller than
in the first, and might be chiefly naval;
but, in either case, the quota should be
of the best possible quality in all re-
spects - vessels, artillery, munitions,
submarines, aeroplanes. automobiles.
hospital equipment, and all kinds of
military and naval supplies.
Therefore, the United States should
now put itself in condition to produce
rapidly all these implements of war.
should acquire a considerable stock of
them all, and should train some moderate
number OF men-like $4,000 in the navy
and 100000 in the army to use them
with skill and thorough efficiency
