GERMANY WISHES TO
 AVOID ALL TROUBLE
Would Settle Sussex Affair With United States in Am- cable Manner, and is Willing to Meet This Country Half Way--French Minister Talks Vindictivey--- Says That Sussex Was Premeditatedly Submarined.

THE HAGUE, April 16-Reports received here from Berlin indicate that the officials of the German government are considerably per turbed over the American dissat- isfaction with the legislation in re- lation to the sinking of the Brit ish steamship Sussex. And they state, according to the reports, that Germany is willing to meet the United States more than half way in the matter in order that trouble may be avoided and to effect a set clement of the submarine difficulties between the two countries.
 MINISTER vlNDIcTlvE.
 PARIS, April 16.-In a statement made through the columns of the press today, the French minister of marine made a very vindictive attack on the German excuse for the sinking of the Sussex He de- clares that the ship was deliberate ly and premedltatedly submarined; that the commander of the subma- rine which did the work knew the Sussex was a channel boat, as she could not be mistaken for another boat, for the reason that she was travelling in & clearly defined, well known channel and boat track. He further asserts in his statement that many witnesses saw the torpedo approaching the Sussex.

Seamen Ask Bonus;
 Go Out on Strike

NEW YORK. April 16-A sensa- uion was sprung in shipping circles here today when seamen who had booked for voyages on two outgoing transatlantic steamships absolutely refused to leave port. Questioned as to any complaint they had to make, one ot the sailors said that he and his companions have decid- ed to demand a war bonus for their work before sailing. That is, they desire that a bonus be paid them for risking their lives on steamships traversing the war zone, on ac- count of the activity of German submarines.
 The strike is being viewed with great apprehension by the heads of the great shipping concerns. who fear that it nay become general And for that reason the demands of the sailors of the two ships which were to have put to sea to- day are being considered. In the meantime, the sailing of the boats has been put off for another day.
 It is stated at shipping hcadquar- ters that a general seaman's strike r,ould be very serious happening particularly so at the present time as there is great scarcity of sea hen.

Roosevelt Makes
 Whiskered Promise

LIVE OAK, Caiif., April 16.-A local game warden claims to have received letter from Theodore Roosevelt in which the doughty col onel, who has served his country with the highest honor she has to give in a service way and who has been widely played up as great explorer, makes the promise of de livery to the warden Of a pair of birds known as 'whiskered, nut eating guacharos." The warden re fuses to produce the letter and it io therefore believed that he IS ment- ally unbalanced.
 It is known, however that Colonel Roosevelt claims to have made the discovery of such birds on his re- cent exploration trip to the island of Trinidad In fact, he has written treatise on the subject. It is therefore the opinion that the war den's mind being always on the subject of his work caused him to become mentally unbalanced when he read the article and his friends have announced that they will at tempt to make him give up his po sition or cause him to lose 1t by some other manner of means.

High Prices Blamed
 To Standard Oil

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 16.- That action ol the part of the fed eral government in relation to the prevailing high price of gasoline, may be taken against the Standard Oil company, was stated today by certain officials of the department of justice. For it is charged that the big concern is actively respon- sible for the high prices now being paid for the commodity throughout the United States, some of the de partment of justice officials express ing themselves as being convinced that such Is a fact beyond the req son of doubt.
 Should the action be brought by the government, it will not be along the lines of high prices. That fact will be merely an incentive to prose cution. The real reason will be that the Standard Oil company has failed to dissolve. as was ordered some time ago by the supreme court of the United States, after there had teen so much trouble in the court with many prominent people inter- ested in the outcome of the pro ceed32gs.
