DR.. BERNHARD OERNBuRG
10 LEAVE UNITED STATES
Former Colonial Secretary and
Spokesman For Emperor
William Goes Home.

Washington, May 15.-Dr. Bern
hard Dernburg, former German Co
lonial Secretary and known as unof
fetal spokesman in this country fol
the German cause, has voluntarily
decided to leave the United States
in view of the critical turn in the
relations between this country ant
Germany.
This became known early to.
day in official quarters and was la.
ter confirmed at the German EN-
.bassy. President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan had been apprised in
formally through Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, OF
DR.. Dernburg's decision before the
news was generally known in Off
cial circles.
The action of DR.. Dernburg re-
lieved the President of an embar-
RAISING situation, for it is known
that he strongly disapproved of DR..
Dernburg's utterances justifying the
sinking of the Lusitania, and Off
Gals considered examining the stat
utes of the United States to deter
mine what legal method might be
invoked to end Dr. Dernburg's ac-
tivity. 1t was thought best, howev-
er, first to intimate to Count Won
Bernstorff the feeling of the Wash
ington Government in the matter
and ask him to request DR.. Dern-
burg to leave. This was made un-
necessary by the decision of the for
mer German official to leave of his
own initiative.
Although DR.. Dernburg had no
official status. the United States
Government considered that while
relations were strained between this
country and Germany, his speeches
and utterances might influence some
Germans in America in such a way
as might conceivably affect the do
nestle welfare of the American peo-
pie. Officials, here believed that
many Germans in the United States
attached official weight to his ut-
terances. The President and his
advisers have observed with grow
ing concern DR.. Dernburg's activity
and when he spoke in Cleveland
and New York justifying the sink
ing of the Lusitania it was decided
that his activities must come to an
end.

tees Of Respect for Rights
OF NeutraIs.

London, May 15.-Referring tc
the note of President Wilson to the
Government of Germany, the West
minister Gazette says:
THE central fact Is that in the
name of humanity and international
law the United States demands a
guarantee that the right of neutrals
to travel over any portion of the
seas, in neutral or belligerent YES
sells, shall be respected. This is of
profound Importance. not only for
the present war, but for the future
peace and security of the world, and
by dispatching this note the great
est of the neutral powers definitely
takes stand on maintaining the
limits hitherto set down for warfare
at sea.
President Wilson is acting for
the honor and the safety of the
American people, and all of us who
have the bias of belligerents will do
well to spare hims advice or COM
ment--in dealing with the situation
which may arise out of the dispatch
of this note.
1T is more than our cause which
is at stake, and more than our in
terests that have to be considered.
We will merely take note of the
fact that one of the greatest issues
of the war is sharply defined in this
note, and that the naswer, whatever
it may be, must make clear to the
whole world whether or not Ger

OF course there was a small ele-
ment of blame attaching to the act
of those who took passage on the
Lusitania after reading the German
warning. but the human mind could
hardly conceive that any warning

every element of fair play and de-
cency as to wantonly and purpos0y
destroy a mammoth ship load of
non-combatants. Assassination loses
