WILL MAKE RIGID
REPRESENTATIONS


NTASIlINGToN, May ll.-Prcsi-
w dent Wilson today listened to
the expressions of members Of his
cabinet ON the policy which they be-
lieycd the United states should adopt
as a result Of the sinking by Ger
man torpedo Of the British liner Lus-
itania with the loss Of more than
hundred American lives.
What the presidents conclusions
were IS known only to himself Within
another day or two, certainly before
the end OF the week, an announce
ment Of the first step in his policy is
expected
The impression was gained i'm cx-
! ecutive quarters after the cabinet
meeting that while the president had
! not determined on the exact course
! hc would follow he had practically
| decided to ask Germany to furnish
some assurance or guarantee that
there would be no repetition OF tho
Lusltania tragedy which would mean
that unarmcd merchant vessels with
neutral passengers aboard would at
least be visited and searched and
noncombatauts removed to place
of safety before the ships destruc-
ton as "a prize.
representations Rigid.
Whether the request for a guaran-
tee for the future would be accom-
panied by a demand for fun repara-
ton 10 the families Of the American
victims or whether action on the Lus-
itanid case itself would be postponed
until Gcrmany's attitude toward tho
| first request was disclosed, are steps
winch the president is understood not
to have settled in his own mind
u Is recognized that a refusal by
Germany 10 meet such a request
would present serious situation. but
/ there is no disposition among tho
presidents advisers TO let this deter
them from the cnunCiatlOn Of Wig
Orous attitude. A canvass of officials
| Well informed i'm the situation deyel-

| Nlnced that the president would fol-

NEW GERMAN NOTE
Kaiser Agrees to Make Rep
aration for amy Unwar-
ranted Attacks.
XX1ASHINGTON, Ma y
w 11.-President Will

W ll.-IfeSlQclJ w IL
son has decided to hold Ger
many "strictIy accountable"
for. the loss Of more than
one hundred lives in the
sinking Of the Lusitania by
a German submarine
He will demand complete
reparation for each and ey-
cry American life sacrificed
by the torpedoing Of the
great British liner and eX-
act from the imperial gov
eminent a promise not to
permit a recurrence Of the
attack on Americans, men
women or children.
This forecast Of the stand
to be taken by Mr.. Wilson
was learned tonight III a
high official quarter.
The demands it was said,
will be made upon Germany
in the form of a note, which
the president himself will
pen. Whether the note will
be sent to the German for
cign office or to Emperor
Wilhelm personally, is one
point not yet decided upon,
it is asserted.
Sever Relations.
If Germany declines to
acccde to the conditions pre-
scnted by the United States.
diplomatic relations between
the two powers will be sev-
cred. 1t is the hope III adj
ministration circles, how
ever, that the justice Of the
American claims will be rec
ognizcd and that an opeI
rupture will not ensue.
While the language of the
presidents note will be firm
and will not permit of amy
misunderstanding of the III
dignation in this country
over the ruthless killing OF
so many noncombatants, the
diplomatic terms employed
will seek to prevent hostil
tiles.
The presidents decision
is said to have been reached
following a session lasting
two and one-half hours will
his cabinet today. The ma
jority of the cabinet read
lily assented to the plan o
action. Three members arr
said to have counseled softel
