Washington, May 81
Two international problems
-one the crisis in relations
between the United States
and Germany, the other the
determination of the admin
istration to bring about early
cessation of internal warfare
in Mexico-developed for
President Wilson a combi-
nation of circumstances
hardly paralleled in Ameri-
can history.
President Wilson had pre-
pared a statement to be is

their 'incessant strife had
forced an innocent populace
to the verge Of starvation,
and that unless the chief ele-
lnents come to an agreement
to restore order, some other
means would have to be
found by the United States
to accomplish this end.
There is confidence in ex-
ecutive quarters that the
warning would suffice to set
in motion definite plans for
peace in Mexico, but in re-
spect to relations with Ger
many, made increasingly
grave by the reply from Ber-
lin to the American note sent
as a consequence Of the Lusi-
tania disaster, pessimism and
high tension is apparent.
The official text of the
note from Germany is before
the president. Officials gen
orally read it with profound
disappointment for, they
pointed out. "it endeavors to

issue-the question of hu-

lives will be safeguarded in

The course of the United
States government is expect
ed to be shaped by the presi-
dent before the day is over,
and will be discussed at to-

Through Ambassador Ge-

Falaba, the commander of the Ger

aiiow1ng the passengers and crew a
full opportunity for safe escape.
Only when the master did not obey
the order to heave-to but fed and

the German commander order the

said to Trask, do you want to do any
work tonight?
mo, l don't think SO. l want to turn
in early. I've been goling all day, and
I'm tired"
For some minutes, while the safe
was being opened, Joan Trask had sat
silent. Only the nervous working OF
her hands, twisting and untwisting a
handkerchief and the slight trOWn on
her face told that she still thought OF
the mysterious telephone call. But 1t
was not Of that she spoke, but OF ner
dissatisfaction with her husbands con-
duct, in the words which arrested
Glover as he was about to leave the
room and which brought anew the con-
temptuous look to the face of her nus
band.
"Seems to me you might have waite

communicate with her husband.
The secretary seated himself at his
employers desk and appeared to de-
sire to avoid the woman's gaze.
Suspecting that Glover knew some
thing about the person, Mrs. Trask
pressed him with questions, but to all
he stated that he knew absolutely
nothing.
Mrs. Trask became somewhat con-
temptuOus in her attitude.
mo, 1 suppose my husband doesn't
take his secretary into his confidence
to that extent, although he doesn't
make any great attempt to keep things
secret. He hasn't even a sense Of

Glover protested.

my position, Mrs. Trask."

secretary.
Eyes, forgive me. 1t was wrong of
me to talk about it to you. Sometimes
L lose patience. Well, we won't say
anything more about it. Is Mr. Trask
coming home tonight?
Eyes: he telephoned this morning.
He's coming on the 9:10 from Long
Branch. It's half past 8 now. He
should have been here by this time"

down there these two days"

"He might have waited until next
week." Mrs. Trask said. We'll be
there all summer. BY the way, I'd
like you. to go over my tradesmen's ac-
counts for me before we leave the
city"
"Tn do it at once. Where are the
books?" was Glover's reply.
'In the SAFE" Mrs. Trask Informed
him.
It was Just as Mrs. Trask had in
formed Glover that she would get the
combination of the safe from her hus
band and give it to him that the sound
of familiar footsteps was heard in the
vestibule, a key was heard to scrape
and turn in the lock of the cumber

"Oh, is that all?" replied Trask.

suave, cool, collected private secretary,

breach.

chair.

feeling in his pockets. He explored

Again from Mrs. Trask:
Perhaps you left it down at Long
Branch"
The mention of the watering place
seemed to irritate the fnancier. There
were associations with its name, per-
haps, which made the mention by his
wife doubly disagreeable. On the lips
of others Long Branch" was merely
a name on map, q pleasant place
wherein to while away holiday.
There was something in Long
Branch from her which made him
turn on her and say savagely, with no
attempt to conceal his irritation:
That's ridiculous! Why should l
leave the combination to the safe at
Long Branch ~aEg
She did not reply to his outburst of
temper. He stood thinking intently for
a moment, and then exclaimed:

LULL IN The WEST
Germans Claim Slight Gains in
Intermittent Fighting.
Russians Report Blocking of
TeutOns Toward Warsaw.

London. July 10.-The German of
ficial statement today records only
slight activity along the front in
France. Some advances, however, are
claimed in the Champagne district and
in LIE Pretre forest. Nearly 1880
prisoners, three cannon, twelve ma
chine guns and eighteen mine throw
ers were taken between the Mouse and
the Moselle in the fighting since July
4, the statement says
The French war department reports
the repulse of all German attacks and
claims total of SS1 prisoners taken
since July s.
A feeling of optimism again is
manifesting itself here, presuma bly,
due to General Botha's victory in Ger
man Southwest Africa which at one
stroke deprives Germany of territory
larger than Germany.
The size of the captured territory
is enormously disproportionate to
that of the defending forces, which
consisted of 204 officers and 3,166
men, these numbers included reserv-
lists and police as well as the regular
military.
The cheerfulness of the entente al
lies also has been aided by the stands
being made by the Russians near
Lublin. 1t is believed in London that
the stubborn resistance of the Rus
slams is doing much to postpone the
dreaded German offensive along the
western front.
The Russian official statement re-
ports the blocking of German attempts
to advance toward Warsaw from the
north and east and declares the of
fensive taken by the Russian armies
below Lublin is dcVcloD ping.

commented on today throughout the
United States. Excerpts from some OF
the leading newspapers:
THE NEW YORK GLOBE: Ger
many's reply to the second Lusi-
tania note is as unsatisfactory as
her reply to the first There is
evasion of the simple issue as to
whether Germany intends to violate
international law when the viola
ton means the death of American
citizens.
THE NEW YORK SUN: The German
reply to President Wilson's remon-
strances against the abOmination of
submarine raidings as practlced
by the kaiser's navy would be a
climax of impotence If 1t were not
a marvel of faulty.

Germany'S previous contentious i'm

presence on board of large guam
titles of highly explosive materials
dissipated this expectation. In
addition, it may be pointed out
that if the Lusitania had been
spared thousands of cases of mu-
nitions would have been sent to
Germany'S enemies and thereby
thousands of German mothe-S and
children robbed of bread winners
In his rejoinder, it was the general
opinion President Wilson would re-
iterate his original declaration that the
sinking of the Lusitania was an UNI
warranted act.
Lusitania Question Looms Big.
In fact, officials said, the Lusltania
question doomed up today more for
middle than ever as the result Of the
German justification of the vessel
destruction. 1t was not the uSht, how
ever. that there would be any attempt
on the part of the administration to
write into the note anything in the
nature of an ultimatum in this con-
nection. There will be no declaration
that Germany must accept responsible
ity- Instead, it was said by officials
close to the administration that Presi-
dent Wilson simply will repeat that
the sinking was unjustified. letting the
issue stand to be settled by diplomatic
exchanges.
On the other questions involved,
officials said they believed the presi
dent would stand firm.
