GERMANY'S REPLY
TO UNITED STATES
CONCERNS LOSS OF AMERICAN
LIVES At SINKING OF THE
SHIP LUsITANIA.
HER ANSWER VERY EvASIvE
Emperor Williams Government As
sumes Ship Was Armed and Asks
Facts-WiIl Pay Indemnity for
"UnintentionaI Attacks.

Berlin.-The German reply to the
American note sent after the sinking
of the Lusitania was delivered to Am
bassador Gerard Saturday.
The note expresses Germany's re-
greet for injuries sustained by Ameri-
cans as result of submarine and aero
plane attacks and offers compensa-
ton in cases in which Germany Is
found to be in the wrong.
The note defers direct answer to
the questions raised by President Will
son pending further exchange Of
views. Germany desires to establish
whether the Lusitania was defense
less merchant ship or was being used
for the transportation Of war NUM-
tions and soldiers, on which unsuspect-
ing passengers were permitted to take
passage to safeguard the war mate
rails.
FaIaba Sought to Flee.
The American representations re-
garding the torpedoing of the British
steamer Falaba, in which an Amer
lean citizen lost his life, are answered
with the statement that it was intend
ed to offer ample time for the passen-
gers and crew to leave the ship.
The action of the captain in attempt.
ing to escape, however, necessitated
more summary action. Even then the
commander of the submarine granted
10 minutes for those on board to leave
the vessel and subsequently extended
the time to % minutes before sinking
the ship.
Germany expresses regrets for the
"unintentional attacks" on the Amer.
lean steamer Cushing and the Gulf
light. The Cushing was attacked by
German airmen in the North sea and
the Gulflight was torpedoed off Scilly
Islands. Germany disavows any inten.
tio1 to attack harmless neutral craft
She offers to pay compensation wher.
ever she is found to be in the wrong
and to refer doubtful cases to The
Hague for decision.
The passages in the American note
concerning possible disavowal by
Germany of intent to sink the Lusi
tania and the discontinuance of her
present practice of submarine warfare
are not mentioned specifically in the
reply. The note states that pending
the reply of the American government
to the German assumptions Of fact re-
garding the real character Of the Lusi
tania and her cargo. no attempt will
be made to answer the demands con
tanned in the American communica
ton.

MEXICAN RULERS
MUST MAKE PEACE
PRESIDENT WILSON SENDS THEM
WORD THAT HE WILL TAKE
A HAND IN THE MATTER.
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION
Moral Support Is Planned for Elements
Best Suited to RuIe-Embargo on
Arms to All but Constituted
Form Of Government.

Washington-Presid Wilson and
his cabinet Tuesday adopted a new
policy to be pursued by the United
States toward Mexico. 1t has for its
object restoration of order and the
relief of millions of noncombatants
from the deyastations Of Mexicos mil
itary elements, which have brought
about conditions regarded as intoler-
able.
The president read to the cabinet a
statement which he communicated to
the leaders of all Mexican factions,
serving notice that unless they, them
selves, compose the situation, some
other means will be found by the Uni.
ted States to bring about the estab-
lishment of a stable government in the
republic. The statement was approx
ed after prolonged discussion.
Would Recogniez Coalition.
The specific course the United States
will pursue in the event the contend.
ing factions fail to agree is not out.
lined in the presidents statement, but
the administrations present purpose
is to give moral support to a coali.
ton of the best elements in Mexico
and accord the government thereby
created formal recognition.
With such recognition would come
an embargo on arms, but permitting
the constituted government to receive
munitions of war, to the exclusion OF
all other elements and factions.
Intervention Is Possible.
That the governments policy, if un
successful in this course, might re
quire Intervention ultimately has been
considered, and the intention to insist
on a settlement has not been swayed
by the possible necessity of such &C
ton. In high executive quarters, how
ever, confidence prevails that the ex.
preston of the American government
attitude will clear up misapprehen.
sions as to it's intentions that have
existed in Mexico and bring about the
desired coalition government.

German r. and A. Ms Aroused.

The German grand lodge Of Free
Masons have adopted the following
declaration:
"In view of the attitude Of the Ital-
ian Free Masons, who, inspired by
French sympathizers, took part in the
political struggle leading to the war
and thereby violated the cerdinal
principles of Freemasonry, expressly
forbidding such methods, the German
grand lodge hereby sewers all formal
relations with Italian and French
Freemasonry.

German Gas Proves Deadly.

London.-Further proof of the dead
~ character of the asphyxiating gases
used by the Germans was furnished in

In one regiment, the Dorsetshire, the
deaths of four officers and II men are
attributed to gas poisoning.

Germany to answer the demands of
the United States was reflected in
government circles generally.
Germany Partly Sorry.
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by the Amer
lean note, and evasion of the request
that guarantees be given that Ameri-
can vessels and lives be not endan-
gered in the future are the main
points, however, to which the United
States government it is generally be-
lieved, would refer in the second note
Of reparation for unintentional attacks
on neutral ships are expected to have
little weight in determining the nature
of the response of the United States.
No Delay Wanted.
While it is generally thought the
United States will answer Germanys
request for facts with a restatement
Of the facts as recited in the American
note of May 18th, the promptness with
which the reply will be dispatched is
counted upon to serve as an indication
that the American government wishes
an early answer, and does not desire
to engage in protracted diplomatic
discussion.
WithhoIds Final Decision.
Berlin.-Germany withholds it's final
decision on the demands advanced by
the United States government in con-
nection with the sinking of the Lusita-
mia until the receipt of an answer from
the United States.
WiIful Intent Denied.
| In its reply the German government
declares that it is not its intention to
submit neutral ships in the war zone,
which are guilty of no hostile acts, to
attack by submarines or aeroplanes;
that it is Investigating the circum-
stances in connection with the at
lacks on the American steamers Cush-
ing and Gulflight, and that in all cases
where neutral vessels, through no
fault of their own, have been damaged,
Germany will pay Naturalization.
The reply urges that in the case of
the Lusitania, which Germany alleges
was armed and carried large stores of
war munitions, it was "acting in JUS
titled self-defense in seeking with all
the means Of warfare at its disposi-
ton to protect the lives of its soldiers
by destroying ammunition intended for
the enemy"
Proposals Failed Of Purpose.
The German government recalls the
proposals submitted by the United
States government to Berlin and Lon
don designed to end the submarine
warfare and the shutting out of food
supplies from Germany, which, 1t de-
clares, failed of their purpose because
of the refusal of the British govern
ment to agree to them.
Keep Germany to Law.
Washington.-President Wilson de-
termined Tuesday that the United
States must ascertain definitely and
very promptly from Germany whether
the imperial government intends in
the future to be guided by the accept
ed principles of international law and
the rights of neutrals or to follow its
own rules Of maritime warfare.
