These words, which fell from the
lips of John Lind, President Wilson's
close friend and emissary to Mexico,
on the ears of handful Of persons in
the North Methodist Church, in Mime
apolis, spread to-day to larger audi
ence-the public--when members OF
the congregation reported what they
had heard.
The Ex-Governor of Minnesota also
said that Ambassador Wilson had met
Carranza and had tried to induce him
to come under the Huerta government,
but Carranza had replied that he could
not because he was pledged to con-
stitutional government.
81 do not care to affirm or deny the
report of what / said at the church,

CHINA CONSIDERING
OFFER OF ENTENTE
Toxic Foreign Office Won't Com
ment on the Matter.

Toxic, Nov. 21.-The keenest interest
has been aroused in Japan by Wash
ington advices that representations
have been made to China to induce her
to join the Entente Alliance. The For
eign Office declines to discuss the mat
ter at this time.
In the absence of precise information
various explanations are being ad-
vanced as to the motives of the inter-
ested nations. Persons in close touch
with foreign affairs assert that thus
far no formal agreement has been en-
tered into by China.
The explanation most generally Of
fered in Toxic is that the Allies are
trying to devise plan 70 put an end
TO certain German activities in the
Orient. 1t is learned that strong repre-
sentations have been made at Peking
in regard to various matters touching
the interests of the Allies.
Among these are an anti-Russian
movement in Manchuria, said to be
fostered by Germans. and the forward
ing of arms TO India and Afghan
istan. II is also reported that there
have been secret movements from Asi-
attic countries by way of the Americas
of war materials destined for Germany

Sign Statements In Return
for IndemnitieS.
IBy telegraph to Tns Trthune.l ]


Washington, Nov. 2l.-Germany has
agreed to pay to the United States an
indemnity for the 1l5 American lives
lost when the Lusitania was torpedoed
by German submarine last May. Ger
many, however, refuses to apologize to
the United States for the sinking of the
liner.
This information was received to-
day from a source of unimpeachable
authority II transpires that Count
Won Bernstorff, the German Ambassa
dor, offered the indemnity at his con-
ference with Secretary Of State Lam
sing last week.
At the same time he transmitted the
refusal of the German government to
make the disavowal demanded by Pres
conversant with the Lusitania negotia-
tions that the Berlin government is
seeking to unload some Of the moral
responsibility on Great Britain.
II is stated that families which lost
members on the Lusitanis have been
approached by emissaries Of the Ger
man government with a proposal to
sign a statement that they regard the
British government fully as liable as
Germany for the killing Of American
passengers on the liner.
The Germans maintain that Great
Britain shares in the responsibility
for the destruction of the Lusitania
because the British government insist
ed on TRANSPORTING war munitions on
a passenger vessel carrying Americans
In one instance it is alleged that a
father and mother who lost son on
the Lusitania were informed by the
German emssary that if they would
sign the declaration stating that the
british government was equally as re-
sponsible as Germany they could name
the amount of indemnity for the loss
of their son and il would be paid al
once by a high German official in TINS
country. The couple showed the agent
the door. -, u,o+
German Embassy officials deny. that
anv agent is submitting propositions
of this character on behalf OF the Ger
man government, r. % nov
In transpires that the offer 70 pay
an indemnity for the lis Americans
lost on the Lusitania was made 10 Mr'
Lansing By Count Won Bernstorff with
out reservation. No question OF arpi-
tration is involved in the phase oil 'he
matter pertaining to repsration.
The ambassador and the Secretary
Of state did not discuss the amount
of the proposed indemnity. II ls
known. however, that the German GOV gNo
ernment contemplates an offer OF So,ooV
for each American life lost-a total
Of s575,000.
The reason that Secretary Lansing
and Count Won Bernstorif did not en-
ter upon a discussion of the amount OF
the indemnity offered also has been dis-
closed. The President, it appears,
ayerse TO accepting a money settlement
until Germany makes a disayowal'
