CAPETOWN, Aug. 90 Plans for
the development of German Southwest
Africa as a part of the Union Of South
Africa are going forward rapidly. The
government announced few days ago
that it soon would unfold a scheme
for sending large numbers OF colonists
from various parts of South Africa
into the conquered territory, which
contains $4,000 square miles and is
more than six times the size of Eng
land. In area II equals the size OF the
Cape and Natal provinces combined.
Walfsh bay, one of the finest har-
bors in the world. in the opinion OF
the shipping men here. is destined to
become greater port than Durham.
Ii will be developed with a view to
making it the port and health resort
for Johannesburg II already is pos
sible TO enter a train az johannesburg
and embark at Walfish bay for Eu-
rope. This is due to the linking up
of the railway from the Cape North
west with the German links.

"The third zone has about 30 10 q

Berlin (yia London), May 10.-The
following dispatch has been sent by
tie German foreign Office to the Ger
man embassy at Washington:
"Please communicate the following
to the state department: The German
government desires to express it's
deepest sympathy at the loss of lives
on board the Lusitania. The response
bility rests, however, with tie British
government which, through its plan
of starving the civilian population of
Germany, has forced Germany to re-
sort to retaliatory measures.
''In spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in case tie
starvation plan was given up, British
merchant vessels are being generally
armed 9Th guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, so that a
previous search was impossible.
"They can not therefore be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A re-
cent declaration made by the British
parliamentary secretary in answer to
a question by Lord Charles Beresford
said that at the present practically all
British merchant vessels were armed
and provided with hand grenades.
Besides it has been openly admit
ted by the English press tat the Lusi-
tania on previous voyages repeatedly
carried large quantities of war ma
terial. On the present voyage the Lusi-
tania carried 5,4OO cases of ammuni-
ton, while the rest of the cargo also
consisted chiefly of contraband.

and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat

flee, is in tie form Of circular as
follows:
"First-Imperial German govern,
ment naturally has no intention OF
causing to be attacked by submarines
or aircraft such neutral ships of com
merce in the scene of naval warfare
or definitely described in the notice
of the German admiralty staff of Feb
ruary 4, last, as having been guilty OF
no hostile act. On the contrary, the
most definite instructions, repeatedly
have been issued to German war YES
sells to avoid attacks on such ships
under all circumstances. Even when
such ships have contraband of war on
board, they are dealt with by submar-
rines solely according to the rule of
international law applying in prize
warfare.
"Two-Should a neutral ship never
theless come to harm through German
submarine or aircraft on account OF
an unfortunate (*) in the above-men-
toned zone of naval warfare the Ger
man government will unreservedly
recognize its responsibility therefor.
In such a case it will express its re-
qrets and afford damages without first
instituting prize court action.
"Three-It is the custom of the Ger
man government as soon as the sink
ing of a neutral ship in the above
mentioned zone of naval warfare is
ascribed to German war vessels to in
stitute an immediate investigation into
the cause. If the grounds appear
thereby to be given for association Of
such a hypothesis the German navy
places itself in communication with
the interested neutral government so
that the latter may also institute an
investigation.
"If l.e German government is there
by convinced that the ship mas been
destroyed by German war vessels it
will not delay in carrying out the pro-
visions of paragraph two above. In
case the German government, contrary
to the viewpoint of the neutral gov
ernment, is not convinced by the re-
suit of the investigation Hhe German
government has already on several &C.
casions declared itself ready to allow

With Noncon1batant Passengers Aboard.

rine attacks On merchant ships carry
ing non-combatants. It serves notice,
too, that full reparation will be sought
for the loss of more tnan 100 American
lives in the sinking of the Lusitania
and for other violations Of American
rights in the sea war zones.
While no indication is given of the
steps to be taken by the United States
in the event of an unfaVorable reply,
the note informs Germany tnat the
American government will leave moth
ing undone either in diplomatic rep
resentation or other action to obtain
compliance with its requests.
The document was to have been
cabled tonight, but tie president, after
conferences with Counselor Robert
Lansing, of the state department, made
several changes in legal detail and
then revised it alone in his study. To-
morrow it will be dispatched, and it is
expected to be made public soon after.
No essential changes were made in
the communication as formulated Sun
day by the president and approved by
the cabinet yesterday.
TIE principal points in the note are
substantially as follows:
Do..I L. U:oIo4;one
Il. The United States government
calls attention to the various incs-
dents in the war zone proclaimed BY
Germany around the British Isles, the
sinking of the British liner Falaba,
with the loss of Leon C. Threscer, an
American; the attack by German air
men on the American steamer Cush-
ing; the torpedoing without warning
of the American steamer Gulflight,
and finally the torpedoing wiuHe"t
warning of the Lusitania, with its loss
of more than 1000 lives of non-con-
batants, among them more tnan 700
Americans.
2. These acts are declared to be
indefensible under international law.
The United States points out that it
never admitted Germany's right to do
them, and warned tie imperial gov
ernment that it would be held to a
"strict accountability for attack on
American vessels or lives. A strict
accounting, therefore, is now asked
from Germany.
To seek ReparatiOn..
3. The usual financial reparation
will be sought, although Germany is
in effect reminded that no reparation
can restore the lives of those sacri-
feed in tie sinking of the Lusitanit
and other ships.
4. Expressions of regret may COM
ply with the legal precedents, but they
are valueless unless accompanied by

a cessation of the practices endanger-
ing lives of non-combatants.
). The right of neutrals to travel to
any point on the seas on neutral Or
belligerent merchantmen is asserted
g. In the name of humanity and in
ternational law the United States de-
mands a guarantee that these rights
will be respected and that there be no
repetition of tee attacks on merchant
men carrying non-combatants.

These little tender and loving atten-
tions are appreciated more than the
dinner itself.

these old boys like dream, as dhey
mingled and talked of the days and
the comrades that are no more. They
could hear the sound of preparation
and the music of the drums, and the
