BERNSTORFF AND
LANSING FAR APART
America and Germany Cannot Agree
on Settlement in the Lusitania
Case.
NO INDEMNITY IS OFFERED

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA
series OF conferences between secre-
tary Lansing and Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador. has
failed thus far to bring the United
States and Germany near an early
settlement of the issues which grew
out of the sinking Of the Lusitania
with a loss OF more than 100 Ameri-
can lives. II was said today by per-
sons in a position to know that the
points of view OF the two govern
ments still were widely different.
In German circles the belief was ex-
pressed that a satisfactory agreement
could not be reached without arbitration.
Officials Of the state department were
more optimistic, the opinion seeming TO
prevail that ultimately Germany would
come into the American way Of viewing
the situation.
Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorff have an agreement not to
talk about the subject Of their last con-
ference. 1t Is taken for granted in Of
flciaI circles, however, that the LUST
tania case was one Of the matters dis
cussed.
No OFFER Of Indemnity.
II is stated on authority that no offer
has been made TO indemnify the families
Of Americans last in the disaster. 1t
having been reported that the German
government offered to pay an indemnity
Of 5000 for each life lost, but IT stated
that neither this figure or any other
has been named IN the conference.
The German government is said to take
the position that to agree to pay in
demnity would DO an admission of wrong
doing, and that while in a humanitarian
sense 1t deeply regrets the loss of any
American lives. the Lusitania was tor
podoed in reprisal for the establishment
of the British blockade order, which the
United States itself holds to be illegal.
Germany. however. Is willing and anxious
to take the whole matter Of indemnity
to The Hague for arbitration, even
though II Is known that high German
officials believe the award would be in
favor OF the United States regarding
structure OF the tribunal as one likely
TO favor neutrals.
AS for future assurances regarding the
safety Of American citizens travelling at
sea, II is considered by Germany that
the assurances given in the settlement
OF the Arabic incident fully cover the
situation.
Must Disnvow Act.
The point OF view of the United States
government is. according to the outline
given today and stated previously. that
the German government must dlsavow
the sinking Of the Lusitania and in
demnify the families Of American citi-
gems lost In the disaster. The United
states Is adverse to taking the question
OF indemnity to The Hague.
While the conferences thus far were
said to have been unfavorable to a
prompt settlement. officials of the State
department are reported to, be hopefui
OF the results Of conferences to come.

The wives Of all petitioners for natur-

The records Of the bureau show that
since the commencement OF the school
year on october notifications have been
sent 70 approximately 1000 dcclarants,
5000 petitioners and 1900 wives Of petit
toners
over 100000 foreign-born residents an
nually come within the Jurisdiction Of

bureau, through the corporations Of the
public schools. to change that portion
OF the allen body. now said to be in a
condition Of helpless dependence or mere
self-maintenance, to the state Of pro-
ductive capacity.

was headquarters for gamblers of all
kinds, but that element was wiped out
two years ago. If the courts are as
strict with the no-sale-of-liquor law
after next January as they were with
the gamblers 1t will be a hard matter to

After the legislature had passed the
law against gambling, that fraternity
looked upon it as q dead letter and con-

of them had been raided, their imple-
