Again Regarded as Critical.

There were many evidences in on
rial circles that the German con-
tfoversy was again regarded as criti-
hal. and that the reply as outlined was
very disappointing The concessions al
legged to have been made were re-
ferred to as slight departure from
che illegal position held by Germany,
and il was pointed out that the United
states. holding a strictly legal posi-
tion, was unable to make any changes
or surrender any point.
Irrespective. however. Of the sux-
Eestions made as to the future conduct
of German submarines as suggested in
the preliminary draft of the German
reply, one OF the chief causes of the
pessimism is the treatment to be ac-
corded the Lusitania tragedy.
Originally the United States pointed
out that the German submarine COM
manders must have misapprehended
their instructions. and could not have
intended to sink the vessel without
warning.
Oficials hero declined to explain the
informal conferences between Ambas-
sador Gerard and officials of the Ger
man foreign ONCE. They indicated that
the message from tho ambassador,
note, did not state specifically that he
had been asked to obtain the views of
the American government 1t appeared
that he asked II there were any In
struotions. and did so because tho
draft was placed in his hands in ad-

proposals as made by Germany in tho
tentative draft would not meet the
American viewpoint. asked for In

OFFICIALS TO CONFER

Question Of Right to Send volun'

an answer is given to the inquiry OF
the British ambassador as to whether
unofficial agencies violate neutrality

the United States to volunteer in the

onicials Of the Department Of Justice
explained that they have had no under
standing with the State Department in
regard to recruiting. They pointed out,
however. that the criminal code plainly
prohibits the enlistment Of "any person
in the United States to fight against the
people Of a friendly nation.
The efforts Of the department., II was
declared, have not in any instance been
directed against volunteers returning
to their own country to fight, but
against organized efforts to induce
such return. A high official said this
was demonstrated when after the re-
cent arrest of representatives Of the
Montenegrin government for violating
the law the 145 men they had recruited
for the Montenegrin army were
allowed to proceed.
