! Atlantic City. y. J.. July 17-Harr.
| X Thaw tonight confirmed the state
ment of a week ago that he will sue
| his wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. for di.
vorce. In a statement Thaw said:
There is nothing more to be said
| than what l said a year ago-tha,
there can be no reconciliation with
his wife). and ultimately there will be
suit tiled for 4 divorce: but ! have

Mr.. Thaw has been gathering evidence
for the contemplated action for some
time through his attorneys, and be-
lieves he has sufficient facts in hand
upon which to base a successful suit
''Business in New York.
References to Mrs. Thaw during the
recent sanity trial before the jury in
Justice Hendricks court indicated that
definite plans We're in contemplation.
II will be recalled that Stanchfieid in
objecting to a question as to whether
he objected TO Mrs. Thaw being on the
stage. remarked in an aside to the
jury: You might as well ask him if
he objects to her living with Jack
Clifford"
Just when the contemplated action
will be filed could not be ascertaincd
here tonight. One of the things in
doubt is a $ to whether the suit will be
begun in Pittsburgh or New York
Thaw intimated yesterday that he had
an important matter to attend to which
Nigh take him TO New York before he
left on his motor trip to the San Fran
cisco Exposition and the case may be
started at that time.
To Seek GentIer Way.
He is exceedingly loath to discuss
the matter tonight. as il is known that
he feels deep gratitude to his wife for
the service she rendered him in his two
trials for murder The break between
them is said to have followed the birth
of Mrs. Thaw's son.
Under the laws of Pennsylvania de-
sertion is a legal cause for divorce. and
il is possible that the action may he
begun in Pittsburgh on that account
SO as to avoid scandal and at the same
time to enable Thaw thereby to choose
the gentler way of severing his mari
tai relations with one to whom he
owes much.
Thaw tonight received the following
dispatch from his mother. dated Pitts

Glad to know you are having sea

An aggravating consideration in the
case of the Orduna attack is that the
vessel was westward bound and did
not. therefore. carry munitions for the

That the attack without warning upon

may throw A wrench into the diplomatic
machinery which has heon working to
n peaceful conclusion of our controversy
with Germany was painfully apparent
to officials in Washington YESTERDAY
Coming at 4 time when this govern
ment had been given to understand that
for the future German submarines would
respect the rights of noncombatants on
paSsensor-carrying ships. it gave rise to
the apprehension which followed the
sinking of the Lusitania.
The fact that the act was committed
almost ten days ago. and the possibility
that it antedated the change in policy
which this government had been given to
understand has been adopted in Ger
rnany's submarine warfare were taken
into consideration. hut there Is no doubt
that the incident has made a most un-
pleasant impression upon those close to
the State Department
Incident Called Unfortunate.
.rhat the incident should have become
known after the visit OF the German
ambassador to secretary of State Lam
sing on Friday is considered peculiarly
unfortunate IN view of the short time
,efore the Presidents first draft Of his
reply TO the German note is expected to
re laid before the Cabinet. Count Won
Eernstorff when he left the State De-
partment yesterday had made no ar
ranccments for subsequent call prior
20 the framing of'the note.
A hurriedly arranged call at this time
would plainly be for the purpose of ex-
planning away the Orduna incident, and
the German foreign office does not want
to indicate by any act which the German
public might SO interest that she is
diminishing the ferocity of her subma
rine warfare. This is her reason for
desiring to meet the demands of the
United States through formal oral as
suranCes instead of through public notes.
While the German Ambassador did not
offer formal assurances that Germany
would conform her submarine warfare to
international law when he called on the
Secretary Friday, he did indicate that
if such assurances would be acceptable
and under certain conditions. his gov
ernment probably would be willing to
instruct him to offer them orally.
If such representations were expected
to have any effect upon the tenor of
President Wilson's next note. the pub
lication of the facts concerning the at
tack on the Orduna should have a de-
Cidedly vltiatinS effect.
