Door for Debate

Paris May 22.--The Swiss government
is preparing note to Germany on the
sinking OF the Lusitania, according to q
despatch received here yesterday iron
Berlin. The representation is to be made
it is said. on account of the loss OF three
Swiss citizens who went down with the
big liner.
1t is reported that the note will be
couched in stronger language than that
used by President Wilson, and the belief
is widespread in Switzerland that it will
carry considerable weight by virtue of
the fact that Switzerland has an army of
100000 men ready for action on short no.
tice.
The Swiss government is said to be
waiting for Germany's reply to the
United States note before casting its pro-
test in permanent form and forwarding
it to Berlin. The majority Of the news
papers in the mountainous republic have
expressed the opinion that President Will
sons stand was not as firm as it should
have been or as strong as that which the
Swiss government should take.
Only one Swiss citizen was recorded
among the victims on the Lusitania. He
was John Fenwick, first cabin passen
ger. But in the second cabin there were
two persons of unknown nationality lost,
and it is thought that some of the crew
have been Swiss citizens.
Waiting for Kaiser's Return.
Washington, May 22.-According to in
formation from Berlin, rough draft of
the reply to the American note has been
completed by the foreign Office and waits
for the return of the kaiser from a tour
of the battle fronts. 1t is understood
that the reply will not be despatched be-
fore the first of next week.
Notwithstanding the bitterness of the
German press and the reports of hostile
sentiment toward America brought out
by those who have left Germany since
the sinking of the Lusitania, the nearer
inquiry approaches to official circles the
more conciliatory is the impression
gained 1t is stated without hesitation
by those who have been in touch with
the foreign office that official Germany
does not want trouble with the United
States. and that they are tracking their
brains to find way to avoid it with !
out acceding in full TO the demands OF
the American note.
This report of the state of mind at the |
foreign office, together with the addition
al report that draft of the reply has !
been completed, is accepted by many as

answer 1t is understood that the hinge
TO Berlin's position will be munitions OF

vanced that Germany will offer TO spare
merchant ships certified by the United
States as not carrying them. In Wash
ington il is believed that the admins
tration will refuse TO allow itself to be
drawn into a semblance OF bargaining
upon such an issue as that advanced in
the American note. but the present re-
port from Berlin is that the German

In the end they made it by narrow

that promised a fair landing on the

There was neither policeman nor

Still, not much Of the street swas
