GERMAN ENVOY EXPRESSES
HIS "DEEP REGRET" THAT WAR
EVENTS COST AMERICAN LIVES
Brief Statement Issued by Secretary Bryan Following
Call at the State Department by Count Won
Bernstorf, the Kaisers Ambassador.

Count Bernstorf the German ambassador called
Secretary Bryan today and deep regret that the
of the had led the loss Of American
lives"
This brief statement the wording which by
the ambassador given by Secretary Bryan following
the conference, which lasted half an hour.
Whether the expression made from his
his initiative made clear by the
ambassador explained by Mr.. Bryan.
Inasrnuch the first statement of its kind since
the British Falaba and
American Gu1ight-whch also torpedoed-
specific mention made of the Lusitana incident the
impression prevailed Official that the ambassadors
the usual broad expression which diplomatic
representatives. permitted make when disaster

Cabinet Meeting Tomorrow.
When the cabinet meets tomorrow
the President will probably present to
his colleagues his ideas OF what the
governments policy should be.
1t is now believed that the President
does not intend to call Congress in
extra session. This disposes for the
present at least of the suggestion that
Germany's action will cause the United
States to be drawn into the European
conflict.
Keeps His Own Counsel.
That President Wilson has taken ac-
ton regarding the Lusitania that he has
been giving the deepest and most serious
thought to the situation that he has not
called his cabinet advisers together or
conferred Individually with Secretary
Bryan, plainly indicate that no one is
authorized TO speak officially concerning
his probable course. but the concise view,
carefully gathered from many sources.
some of them well informed officially, is
that although the sentiment of the coun-
try is opposed to war. il is strongly for
vigorous action just enough short of
actual hostlities TO impress Germany and
Eert and her people feel for the methods
that were pursued In the Gulflight and
l.usitanta cases.
What other way President Wilson
may be able TO find beyond that of
either obtaining renunciation and
apology or breaking OFF diplomatic re-
lations with Germany well informed
people were unable to see today
II was very generally pointed out
that the Presidents position as TO
Mexico. which has had widespread ap-
proyal. might Sc 2 precedent for him
IN this situation, He has consistently
held to the yieg- that he would not
recognize any government in Mexico
founded upon assassination, and that
no government sta blished o;he, thar
legally ana with proper conception OF
Its duties and obligations to mankind
generally could expect official support
from the United states. The attitude
was moral one, the President con
ststently declining to permit interven-
lion by this country
What Is so generally spoken OF TO-DAY
as the strict accounta bility" Germany
was threatened with on the part Of the
United States in ease she caused the
loss of American lives might Just as
well be a moral accounta bility as a
physical one.
