SINKING Of LINER
ST|RS WASHINGTON
MOST SERIOUS SITUATION SINCE
WAR BEGAN FACES U. 8. IS
VIEW EXPRESSED.
WILSON MAKES NO COMMENT
Warning That Germany Would be
Held to "strict Accountability"
For Loss Of American Lives.
Focuses Attention.

Washington. May Redistribution Of
the British liner Lusitania with the
loss of many lives shocked officials Of
the United States government and
spread profound grief in the national
capital.
Although 1t was not known how
many, If any, Of those LOG. we're Amer
leans, the view was general that the
most serious situation confronted the
American government since the out
break of the war in Europe.
The warning of the United States
that Germany would be held to a
"strict accountability" for the loss Of
American lives" irrespective Of
whether they were aboard belligerent
or neutral vessels when attacked, TO
cused attention on the White House,
where President Wilson. until late in
the night, read the dispatches with
grave interest.
The president made no comment. Of
iicials said facts and circumstances
would have to be obtained by careful
investigation during the next few days
before any announcements could be
made by the American government.
The feeling was widespread that II
any American lives had been lost the
United States, in view Of its strong
warning to Germany, would be con-
fronted with the necessity Of taking
steps to safeguard the lives Of its
citizens on the high seas.
Disaster Marks Climax.
The sinking Of the Lusftanla marks
the climax of series of incidents
since the announcement of the German
war zone decree, concerning which
the American government has been
silent. 1t is now predicted that even
though It developed that no American
lives were lost on the Lusitania. gen.
eral representations will be made by
the United States covering all the
cases involved-the death of Leon C.
Thresher, an American citizen, when
the British steamer Falaba was sunk,
the dropping Of bombs on the Ameri-
can steamer Gushing, and the attack
on the steamer Gulhight, which was
wrecked with loss of three Ameri.
can lives. ~. s..
The report that the Lusitania was
torpedoed without warning created a
profound sensation, for it was the
first case in which this threatened
procedure has been carried out with
Americans on board belligerent yes.

Germany's Repeated Threats.
Aside from the diplomatic questions
in the case, which were widely dis.
cussed in Washington the sinking of
the liner brought to light an interest,"
ing story of repeated threats and
warnings which have reached high Of
ficials for several days past Of plan
by the German admiralty to sink the
Lusitania for the psychological effect
1t would have on Great Britain and tho
terror it might spread among ocean
travellers generally.
Information gathered among Off
Gals of the government tended to con.
firm the belief that plans for the des.
truction of the Lusitania were made
several weeks ago. First, the German
embassy was instructed to advertise
in the leading newspapers of the
United States, warning passengers
against travelling on belligerent ships.

The American ambassadors at Lon

instructed to learn the attitude of the
powers, which like the United States,
are pledged to maintain the territorial
status quo in China and the freedom

Japan ModIties Demands.

Secretary Bryan would not discuss
this matter. He announced, however,
that the state department had receiv.
ed the substance Of the Japanese ulti-
matum and that it contained import.
ant notifications by Japan of her de-
mands. 1t was generally understood
that these notifications related to the
withdrawal by Japan of the general
demands in group v, asking for the
installation Of Japanese political, finan.
cial and industrial advisers in China.
and an obligation by China to DUR
chase so per cent Of her ammunition
supply in Japan.
1t was this group which had been
looked upon in many quarters as
threatening the political and admins

BRITISH SEARCH U. S. SHIP
Act Committed in Port of Prooreso,
Mex.-W ashineton 70 Order
Investigation.

Washington, Nov. l2.-The Ameri-
can steamship Zeelandia was forcibly
searched by party from British
cruiser last week when lying in the
port Of Progreso. Mex. The American
consul there reports the cruiser now
lying outside. presumably waiting to
seize the ship.
On the face of such report as the
consul sent. even though it is incom-
plete. the official conclusion here is
that the British naval authorities not
only violated Mexican neutrality. but
far exceeded their rights in forcibly
searching an American ship in neu-
tral port.
Forcible searching of an American
ship in neutral port probably would
constitute one of the most serious is
sues to arise between the United
States and Great Britain in the con.
troversy now in the channels of di-
plomacy over the British navy's con-
duct toward American shipping. While
awaiting further details officials were
silent. A thorough investigation will
be made.
