 May 13.-America's note, following the torpedoing of the liner Lusitania without warning and the consequent loss of more than Il hundred Ameri- cans. said:
 The objection to their (German sub marines) method of attack lies in the practical impossibility of em- ploying submarines in the destruction of commerce without disregarding those rules of fairness. reason, justice and humanity which all modern opin- ion regards as imperative.
 American citizens act within their indisputable rights fin taking their ships and in travelling wherever their legiti- mate business calls them upon the high seas
 Tt the United States) confidently ex- poets, therefore, that the imperial Ger man government will disavow the acts of which the United States complains. that they will make reparation, so far as reparation is possible, and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obvious ly subversive of the principles of war fare.
 The imperial German government will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance of Its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its cit. izens.'
 May 30.-Germany in response de clared:
 Tt Is known to the imperial govern. ment from trustworthy reports from It's agents and neutral passengers that the Lusitania had cannon aboard which were mounted and concealed be low decks and that the Lusitania as on earlier occasions, carried Canadian troops and war material.
 The German government has no in tention of submitting neutral ships in the war zone which are guilty of nc hostile acts to attacks by a submarine or submarines or aviators.
 June 1O-America' reply states:
 "The Lusitania was not armed for offensive action. She was not serving as transport. She did not carry q cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States.
 But the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special circumstances of detail.
 'The government of the United States therefore very earnestly and very solemnly renews the representa- tions of it's note transmitted on the 10th of May, deems it reason able to expect that tho imnerial Ger

 Below are given the high lights of the correspondence between the United States and Germany beginning with Germanys War Zone" decree and in- cuding the note which led to the res ignation of Mir. Bryan as secretary of state.
 Feb. 4.-Germany's War Zone" de- cree said:
 Every enemy merchant ship found in this war zone will be destroyed, even if it is impossible to avert dan gers which threaten the crew and pas sengers.
 Also neutral ships in the war zone are in danger. It cannot always be avoided that attacks meant for enemy ships endanger neutral ships."
 Feb. 10-America's note of protest said:
 "The sole right of belligerent in dealing with neutral vessels on the high seas Is limited to visit and search, unless Il blockade is proclaimed and effectively maintained
 If the commanders of German yes gels of war should destroy on the high seas an American vessel or the lives of American citizens 1t would be difficult to view the act in any other light than as an indefensible violation of neutral rights.
 If such deplorable situation should arise the government of the United States would be constrained to hold the imperial German government to a strict accountability and to take any steps 1t might be necessary 10 take to safeguard American lives and property and to secure to Ameri- can citizens the full enjoyment of their acknowledged rights on the high seas" Feb 1S.-Germany said in reply:

TOM DOBSON IN RECITAL
New Artist Gives Concert in
Punch and Judy Theatre.

In most inviting little playhouse
In Forty-ninth Street, called the Punch
and Judy Theatre, new candidate for
favor In the song field gave a recital
yesterday afternoon. Everything about
the affair was as intimate and unpre-
tentious as the cosey room. The singer
called himself Tom Dobson-no Mr..
and no Thomas-just plain Tom; he
played his own Accomplishments on the
pianoforte. which made the affair APP
pear as il an amiable gentleman, who
had dropped in, had consented to
oblige his friends, and he sang all
kinds of songs French, English, Ger
man, and English with an Irish brogue.
It was all delightfully."- informal, so
amiable in spirit, indeed, that it would
be a pity to spoil the impression which
it made by criticism of the singers
art.
Tom Dobson seems to be one OF sew
eral singers who are cleaning in the
field which Mccormack has cleaned up
so thoroughly that there have been but
few and lean sheaves for his followers.
