CHTLIANS OFFENDED
BY GERMANY'S NOTE
Santiago Government Resents
Kaiser's Rebuke and De-
mands Apology.
LONDON. May 13.

LONDON, May 13.
The German Government faces an
acute crisis with Chill as the result Of the
sending Of a diplomatic note that has
deeply offended the South American re-
public.
The incident began with Chlli's ac-
ceptance Of the British apology for the
violation OF It's neutrality by the sink
ing Of the Dresden in territorial waters.
Berlin resented this acceptance and con-
veyed its dissatisfaction to Santiago in
terms which the Chilan Government
considered insulting and constituting an
unwarrantable Interference with the
sovereign rights OF the country
Chill responded by what was virtually
an ultimatum, to the effect that Ger
many must withdraw its expressions and
apologize for its breach OF lnterna-
tlonal amenities, or Chill would take
such action as best appeared to 1T the
circumstances.
There is ground for believing that Ger
many has received an allowance of five
days in which to decide upon the course
she will pursue.

GERMAN EMBASSY DISAVOWS
DISCUSSION OF WILSON NOTE
WASHINGTON. Nav 1!


The German Embassy today disavowed
having received any instructions from the
German Government regarding the Amer
lean note.
Emphatic denial that any official of the
German Embassy had discussed the posi-
tion the German Government will take
on the American note in regard to the
sinking of the Lusiaania, was made in an
official statement Issued this afternoon
The Ambassador gave out the following:
The German Embassy stated today
that no statement or intimation has been
given by the Embassy. or any official OF
the Embassy, concerning what response
would be made to the American note re-
gardlng the Lusitania.
This was brought out by statements
appearing In the press this morning to
the effect that officials of the German
Embassy had outlined the position of the
German Government towards the Ameri-
can note regarding the sinking of the
Lusitania, and have declared that the
reply would be a polite but firm refusal
to cease submarine warfare against bel
ligerent merchant ships.
1T was pointed out that the Embassy
itself so far was ignorant of the terms
OF the American note; that II had received
no instructions whatever from the Ger
man Government regarding the note, and
hnally 1t was declared that no oficiai
connected with the Embassy has ex-
pressed any opinion on the subject at

GERMANS DESPERATE DRIVES
BROKEN IN BALTIC PROVINCES
Prussian Guard Hurled Into Invasion.
Bavarians Routed.


Another reverse for the German army
that invaded the Baltic provinces OF Rus
sia is reported in an official statement
issued by the Russian War Office today.
The Germans have transferred regiment
of the Prussan Guard the flower of the
German army, to the battlefront in Cour-
land and Kovno provinces and a whole
corps is expected to follow. The official
statement follows:
"As a result OF the German defeat near
Mitau and Rossieny, our strategic posi-
tion in the direction of Shawl ha become
more clearly defined. The Germans in the
direction of Mltau, Ponievege and Kovno
are hard pressed by the Russians. Even
the desperate step of delivering a series
of offensive blows has not saved the sit
uation. These operations were begun in
the district OF Shawl, the Germans mean
while having occupied the railway juno
tion OF Jeymy on Saturday.
''On that day our cavalry came in con-
tact with the Bavarian cavalry and put
1t to disorderly flight About midday on
Sunday our troops came up with the fee
ing Bavarians near Kraknove. covering
a distance of more than 30 miles.
Two engagements were fought. The
defeat of the German raiders In our rear
will necessarily affect the progress OF
operations in the Shawl region. The en-
emy's defeat leads to the belief that he
will shortly receive reinforcements. The
presence of n regiment of the Prussian
guard on this front indicates that whole
corps of the guard will shortly be trans
ferred to Courland and Kovno provinces
from the western theatre of war

U. OF P. STUDENTS BEG
WILSON TO KEEP PEACE
800 Sign Petition Urging Presi-
dent to Continue Neutrality
Policy.

Eight hundred University of Pennsyl-
vania students signed a petition which
was sent today to President Wilson,
urging the Administration to preserve the
neutrality of this country In spite of the
Lusltania disaster. Similar petitions are
being prepared at Princeton, Yale Har-
ward and Columbia Universities.
The Pennsylvania students petition was
circulated by members of the University
Peace Society, acting without faculty sug-
gestion. Undergraduates responded quick
ly to the request for signatures. 1t is
said at the Univ crsity that few students
favor any move by the Government which
might tend toward war. Two hundred
names were signed to the petition within
two hours yesterday.
The text of the paper is:
"To the President of the United States of
America.
we, tne students of the University of
Pennsylvania, do hereby express our con-
fldence in the sagacty and patience OF
our President, and do declare that we
firmly believe that the United States
should continue the policy of neutrality
as respects European affairs that 1t has
pursued In the past
I'VE believe that occurrences such as
the sinking of the Lusitania, grave as
that is, should neither tempt nor force
us into war, and that we should pursue
peaceful means of settlement rather than
attempt warlke reprisals.
In full trust of the high-mindedness
of our executive, we wish to commend
our attitude to his attention"
The appeal was circulated by COM
mittee composed of r. j. Emmerlch,
Orrin f. Boyle, C. G. Edwards and r.
B. Jones.

rioters vent their wrath against Germans,
though hardly a section of London was
left untouched Virtually every German
shop OF any description in the East End
was in ruins today. The mobs smashed
furniture, wrecked interiors and even
tore rugs and pictures to bits in their
rage over the sinking of the Lusitania.
Reports from the provincial towns
north OF London said that the rloting
