AWAITING THE
ANSWER TO The
OFFICIAL NOTE

Washington, May 1.-THE govern
ment and people of the United States
today turned eXpectantly toward Ber-
lin where Ambassador Gerard had
been instructed to present to the
German foreign Office note calling
the attention of the imperial govern
ment to the unlawful and inhuman"
destruction of the Lusitania and 9TH
er violations of American rights on
the high seas. Germany is asked in
the note to disavow the acts of her
submarine commanders in the torpe-
doing without warning Of the Lusi-
tania. British ship with a loss Of
more than one hundred American
lives and the American steamer Gulf

more American citizens met their
death. PREPARATION so far as repara-
ton is possible" is asked and the
United States declares it confident
ly expects that the imperial German
government will take immediate steps
to prevent the occurrence OF such
acts and practices"
No time is specified for a reply, but
the communication says the govern
ment and people Of the United States
look TO the imperial German govern
ment fer just, prompt and enlightened
action in this vital matter.
UnmIstaken Firnness
The course to be pursued by the
United States in the event Of a nom
compliance with it's requests and ex-
pectations is not stated. but high Of
ficials pointed out that the con.lu-
sion of the note was intended to i'm
press Germany that there should be
no misapprehension in Berlin o. the
firm purpose of the United States to
safeguard its rights by any means
neces ,ary. This is espresso in the
final sentence, which says:
The imperial German government
will not expect the government Of the
United States to omit any word or
any act necessary to the performance
of its sacred duty Of maintaining the
rights of the United States and its
citizens and of safeguarding their
free exercise and enjoyment

the Lusitania was struck by Ger

Of many neutral lives besides the
scores of Americans. The United
States government is the first to act.
The other neutral nations, most Of
whom have been waiting for the poll
icy Of the United States to be reveal
ed, are now expected to decide what
representations they will make.

When Sun "Draws Water"

When the sun is to the east or west Of
Us on a cloudy Or hazy day, beams are
often seen radiatins from it toward the
horizon then many people say tae sun
is drawing water They actually be-
lieve that the lines Of light and shadow
appearing to converge in the sun are
great shafts Of water and vapor that the
sun is drawing ups into the air to be
precip.ated later on the earth as rain
or snow These shafts. as a matter Of
fact, are generally indicative Of coming
rainy weather, but they cannot be count
ed on as infallibls signs.
The idea that the sun is drawing
water" however. is entirely erroneous.
for the lines seen are tire result of the
passage of light through openings in
clouds already formed. The lines that
appear dark as shadows Of clouds. while
the light lines or rays from the sun are
made visible in the air by the presence
therein Of dust or vatery vapor. Just as

many of whom obtained copies from
the state department. The German
embassy-the one place where it was
natural to look for some inkling or in
timation of what Germany's position
would be-remained silent. Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador. in
fact. called on Secretary Bryan with
the express purpose OF warning him
that none of the published stories were
true which purported to give anony-
nous views of members OF the embas-
sy staff to the effect that Germany
would refuse to met the American
notes suggestion. He asked the Coop
Grafton Of the state department to pre-
vent the spread Of this transformation
and MIR. Bryan made formal announce
ment Of the request. The German am
bassador told inquirers later that ne
knew absolutely nothing Of the position
of his government because he had re-
ceived no communication and natural
" would not until the note itself has
been presented. He declined discuss
his own views for publication. Some Of
his friends indicated later that the
ambassador was pleased with the
friendly tone Of the note and was him
self hopeful and confident that the
questions in dispute could be satisfac-
torily settled through diplomacy.
ItaIys Influence Enters
In all quarters, it was believed Ger.
mary would not delay her reply, but
that high officials Of the German gov
eminent would take it under immedi-
ate consideration when it arrived in
Berlin. The belief was held by we'll
informed European diplomats that
Germany would consider carefully the
military advantages Of continued at
lacks on enemy merchant ships and
probably would consent to abandon
them only if food supply in some way
were guaranteed as German confidence
is strong that the allies can be kept
at bay in the eastern and western
tbeaters of war indefinitely. The effect
on Germany's position OF the possible
entry Of Italy into the war, however,
is another factor which trained dlplo-
mats think will be taken into consld-
Grafton by Germany in determining
whether she will abandon her powerful
weapon Of attack-the submarine-to
destroy enemy commerce. The fact that
Germany once before had agreed to
give up her submarine warfare II she
could obtain the unrestricted passage
of foodstuffs and raw materials to her
civilian population was commented up
on by many diplomats as making it
not difficult for her to comply with
the American position and satisfy ma
tional pride in Germany.
While the United States Is expect
ing prompt action from Germany In
guaranteeing that there will be no
repetition of such a tragedy as the
sinking of the Lusitania, diplomatic
discussion of the vital issues raised
on points of maritime law probably
would not be rejected by the Amer
lean government if, as many diplomats
think, Germany would of her own mi
tiative. suspend all submarine at
lacks on merchantmen even of bellig-
ercnt nationality while notes are be-
ing exchanged.
