Must Safeguard Lives.

Mr.. Wilson, 1t became known, is not
opposed to the idea of an investiga-
ton or diplomatic discussion of cases
in dispute between Germany and the
United States, but feels that before
such step can be taken some guar
antee must be given that in the interim
of discussion the lives of American
citizens will not be jeopardized and
that the United States will not be re-
quired to yield any of its rights while
the discussion is under way.
1t is the repetition of attacks on
American vessels or lives which the
President believes must be prevented
by an assertion of the rights of the
United States and the attainment of
Germany's acquiescence in that point
of view before diplomatic negotiations
on the subject can continue
1t was declared by some officials
familiar with the contents of the docu-
ment that it would not necessarily lead
to war, and that such a contingency
could arise only II there was a repeti-
ton of attacks on American lives and
vessels. 1t was indicated that failure
to secure reparation for the Lusitania
might mean severance Of diplomatic re-
lations, but that hostilities would be
only by warlike acts on
the part of Germany.
