Said Mr.. Wilson Will Reject
German Plea.
FAILS TO MEET ISSUE
Position Taken by Berlin Government
Cannot Be Recognized by United
Protest by This Country.

Washington, June 1.-Germany's
claim of justification for the sinking
of the Lusitania will be rejected by
the United States, probably within
the week The president is now con-
sidering his reply. 1t is his intention
to answer very promptly. Perhaps
by the middle of the week reply will
be on the way to Berlin. There is lit
tie doubt that Mr.. Wilson will formu-
late the answer, as he did in the case
of the original note of the Lusitania
after isolated consideration of the
case.
The position taken by Germany
with regard to the Lusitania cannot
be recognized by the United States as
meeting the issue in any sense of the
word Although Germany has set up
certain alleged facts, which was ex-
pected. to explain why the Lusitania
was sunk, that country has not waited
for an agreement with the United
States concerning those facts.
1t was understood here that Ger
many would propose such an agree
ment as a basis for further negotia-
tions Instead OF that, having set up
a series of reasons, Germany proceeds
with the fiat declaration that she was
acting in justified self-defense."
Germany Accepts Own Version.
In many quarters this paragraph in
the German note is regarded as pre-
venting that very agreement as to
facts which it was supposed the Ber-
lin government would seek The tone
OF the note appears to close argument
as to the facts, Germany apparently
having decided to stand upon her own
version of the circumstances.
The policy of the administration al
most beyond question will be to in
sist on the original demands of the
president for an abatement of sub
marine warfare against noncombatants
and neutrals and for the protection oi
American lives and property at sea
This feature of the presidents de

While there is great surprise and
disappointment in Washington over
the position taken by Germany there
is little doubt that it clears the situa
/ tion to a greater extent than the more
evasive reply which was expected
The German position seems to be
quite plain and the United States is
relieved of the necessity of entering
into a long correspondence in order
to establish it definitely
1t is expected that the president viii
call the attention of the German gov
ernment bluntly to the fact that the
chief points at issue over the sinking
Of the Lusitania have not been met al
all; that he will make it clear thaf
the United States intends to enter in
to no protracted argument over III
original demands. and that an earl,
and more satisfactory reply from Ger

tees for the safety of Americans will

REPLY is NOT DEFINITE
Such Importance That a Common
Before Further Discussion.

Berlin, June 1.-The German reply
to the protest of the United States
against Germanys submarine war
fare has been made public here. 1t
says in part:
Regarding, firstly, the cases of the
American steamers Cushing and Gulf
light. The American embassy already
has been informed that the German
government has no intention of sub
mitting neutral ships in the war zone
which are guilty of no hostile acts to
attacks by a submarine or submarines
or aviators.
IF neutral ships in recent months
have suffered through the German
submarine warfare, owing to mis-
takes in Identification, it is a question
only of quite isolated and exceptional
cases, which can be attributed to the
/ British governments abuse of flags.

German commander order the crew

minutes. He actually allowed them
twenty-three minutes time and fired

Regarding the loss of life by the
sinking of the British passenger
steamer Lusitania the German gov
ernment already has expressed to the
neutral governments concerned its
keen regret that citizens CT their
states lost their lives.
THE government of the United
States proceeds on the assumption
that the Lusitania could be regarded
as an ordinary unarmed merchant
man. The imperial government al
lows itself, in this connection, to point
out that the Lusitania was one of the
