WASHINGTON, May 6.-The aI-
ministration is watching the China
Japan situation very closely, but OF
s.ials are reticent. The reports that
America is attempting to mediate are
not confirmed. There is no sign that
America plans to interfere. 1t is
learned on good authority, however,
that Japan expects China to resist, but
thinks she will quibble as ling as pos
sible and then yield. Observers think
that split between Norther and
Southern China is possible.

THE SECOND NOTE TO GERMANY

The latest American note to Germany con.
cerning the sinking of the Lustania was made
public June 18th, and has been generally ac.
cepted as likely to lead to solution compati-
BILE alike with interests of both Germany and
the United States. Although friendly in char
acter it firmly renews previous demands that
the German government give assurances that
American lives and vessels shall hereafter be
safeguarded. The note further delares that in
the view of the American government the COZ
tention that the Lusitania was carrying contra
band of war; or that these munitions were ex.
ploded by torpedo. fare irrelevant to the cues
tion of the legality of the methods used bv the
German naval authorities in sinking the ves.
SELL"
at is upon the principle of humanity" the
note adds, "as well as upon the law founded On
this principle that the United States mnst
stand"
The note informs Germany that it must have
been misinformed when it assumed that tho
Lusitania carried guns, but the opportunity is
given to Germany to submit any evidence that
American officials did not execute their tasks
thoroughly in inspe citing the Lusitanla before
sailing.
What action the United States will take in
the event that Germany refuses to give sucb
assurances is not indicated in the note.
reply from Germany is not expe cted for a
week or two.
