Ing Russian war materials
at the Northern Pacific dock,
Is said to have been un-
earthed today by Canadian
secret service operatives
working In Tacoma.
The entire waterfront was
thrown into wild excitement over
the rumors, and a special guard
has been thrown around the dock
and steamer to prevent any full
fillment of the plot.
British Vice Consul G.. f.. Luz
Glen Agassiz admitted today that
q plot had been unearthed.
There are well-defined rumors
to the effect that threats have
been made that the steamer
would be blown up either at tho
docks in Tacoma or before she
passes Cape Flattery on her OUT
ward trip" said the vice consul.
Further than that We are taxi
ing every possible precaution, !

The Kaifuku Maru ia under
charter of the Robert Dollar 20.
She arrived Monday morning
from Honolulu, and began at once
to load Russian war material,
scheduled for Vladivostok.
1t was even known, 1t Is said
on the waterfront, that bomb
was to have been placed In the
hold of the ship, timed to sx-
plode within the next two or
three days.
The plot was exposed today
after q strange man made per-
sistent efforts to obtain passage
on the steamer for Siberia, 1t 10
said. Passage was firmly refused
and the man disappeared.
Besides maintaining q careful
guard over the ship, q search Of
the vessel will be made at once to
determine whether or not bomb
already has been hidden In her.

WASHINGTON, May a.
Secretary Bryan said today
that the American note sent
Germany makes this coun-
try take the position of a
dear friend who realizes that
its friendship has been vio-
lated without warrant.
Without any tone of con-
cessiOn, however, no said, it
is u frank, open demand for
redress which the United
States says 1t has right to
expect as the result of years
of genuine friendship.
Germany will receive the
note tonight and it will be
made public tomorrow.
There are about 1900 words.
Revised by the presidents own
hand, a firm note dealing with
the Lusitania disaster and the
losing of American lives today
was cabled the German govern
ment.
Contrary to the opinion of
those who thought that President
Wilson might take peace-at-any-
price course the note was worded
SO that Germany is held without
chance of evasion, to Strict ac-
countability" for its acts.
The note demanded that Ger
many pay indemnity for the
American lives lost, although 1t !,
earnestly asserted that no amoun'
of money can undo this phase OF
the tragedy; that the Germans
recognize the right Of Americans
and neutrals OF all nations 10
travel where they will on the high
seas, on either merchant or bel
ligerent vessels, and be immuns
from attack. unless the vessel d
which. they. are. travelling carries
contraband.
In the latter case, II Is declar,
ed that full time must be givel
before the torpedo attack so tina
both crew and passengers may
Nave an opportunity to escape.

KAISER TO RECEIVE
U. S. NOTE TONIGHT

This practically means that the
United States demands that Ger
many cease a large part of her
submarine warfare, since subma-
rines could neither dare show
themselves to give warning, so
frail is their construction; nor
have they the facilities for the
care of any considerable body of
non-combatants.
Many diplomats professed to
believe, however, that Germany
will give in, or seem to give In,
to these demands and yet find a
way to continue submarine
blockade.
1t was said that IL Germany
turned down these demands, Pres,
ident Wilson was prepared for
any eventually"

WHAT US. NOTE SAYS
department Washington G., while declining
Germany today admitted that the chief points could

summarized as follows:
The United States govern
mcnt calls attention to the
various incidents In the war
zone proclaimed by Germany
around the British isles; the
sinking Of the British liner
Falaba, with the loss Of Leon
&. Thrasher, an American;
the attack by German airmen
on the American steamer
Gushing; the tOrpedoing
without warning OF the
American steamer Gulflight
flying the Stars and Stripes,
and finally, the torpedoing
without warming Of the Lusi.
tania, with its loss OF more
than a thousand lives Of nom
cOmbatants, among them
more than 100 Americans.
These acts are declared to
be indefensible under inter-
national law. The United
States points out that II
never admitted Germany's
right to do them, and warm
ell the imperial government
that IL would be held to a
"strict accountability" for at
tacks on American vessels
or lives. A strict account
ing, therefore, is now asked
from Germany.
The usual financial repara-
ton will he sought, although
Germany is in effect remind
ed that no reparation can re-
store the lives of those sacri-
ficed I'm the sinking of the
Lusitania and other ships.
Expressions of regret may
comply with the legal pre-
cedents, but they are value-
less unless accompanied by a
cessation Of the practices of
endangering lives Of non.
combatants.
The right of neutrals to
travel any point Of the high
seas on neutral or belliger-
ent merchantmen is asserted.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-05-13

In the name of humanity
and International law the
United States demands a
guarantee that these rights
will be respected, and that
there be no repetition of the
attacks on merchantmen
carrying nOn.cOmbatants.
The giving OF. warning to
the American public without
officially communicating
them to the United States
government Is commented
on In connection with the
German embassy's printed
advertisement before the SAIL
ing of the Lusitania, but ir.
respective of the failure to
advise the American govern
ment of Germany's purpose
the point Is made that no.
tice of an Intention. to do an
an unlawful act neither jus.
titled nor legalized IL.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-05-13

The suggestion is convey
ed that the German govern.
ment, of course, could not
have intended to destroy In
nOcent lives, and that cOnse-
qucntly the German subma-
rine commanders must have
misunderstood their instruc-
lions. The American gOv-
eminent Indicates its Nope
that this will he found to be
true and a cessation of the
unlawful practices thereby
will result.
In conclusion, Germany's
attention is called to the
earnestness of the govern
ment and people of the
United States will leave
nothing undone, either in
diplomatic representations or
other action to obtain a COM
pliance by Germany to the
request made.

which actually aggravate the trouble,

Fathers and Sons Hear Sound Advice from Uni Versity Head and Other Speakers at Big Banquet at Y. NJ. C. A.

An automobile education is not good for boy, who through the rest of his life must ride on a mountain burro, said President R. H. von kleinSmid of the University of Ari- zona at the Father and Son banquet held last night at the Y. NJ. C. A. In masterly and highly interesting address, the head of the state insti- tution, took the view point of a boy, and told the fathers present, the needs and essentials necessary to the proper bringing up of Q healthy. nor maj American boy.
 Dr, Von kleinSmid attacked the li- berality of most American parents in the extension of spending money, and the apparent laXity of discipline evi- dent in some households. In this re- gard. he said "A boy. who has never known the meaning of the word obey in early years, will never know what it is to obey the wishes of his parents in later years" He also de- clared that the basic principle of life is obedience, and that very few boys dare to appear as good as they real ly are. for fear of being considered 'siSsics' by their companions. Presi- dent vOn KleinSmids speech, was lis- tened to with a great deal of atten- tion on the part of the audience. and at the conclusion was greeted with prolonged applause.
 The banquet is the first of it's kind given by the local Y. NJ. c. A. and the results obtained last night, were highly gratifying to the committee in charge About 200 fathers and sons, sons without fathers. and fathers without sons, enjoyed the turkey ban quet prepared by the ladies of the various Phoenix churches. The efforts of the various speakers, were along the lines of the relation of father to son, and as all sides of the question were presented, many unthought- of necessary details were brought out, advantageous both to father and son.
 The speakers of the evening were introduced by Postmaster Dwight B. Heard who addressed the audience as Fellow Kids thus exemplifying the spirit of the occasion. The first speaker, A. l.. Moore said that his talk was to his sons. hoping that the other fathers present would glean some good therefrom. He told of his making his boys his partners, in cv- cry sense of the word, and that many good results could be derived from such a proceeding "The love of a mother is proverbial," said MT. Moore, but when in trouble. a son always finds succor, when he takes it home to dad
