GENERAL OUTLINE OF POLICY
SAID TO HAVE BEEN AGREED
UPON BY WILSON AND
CABINET.
GERMAN NOTE NOW DUE
WILL DENY T0RPED0lNG
To Disclaim Teuton Blame in Connec~
ton With Attacks on Sussex-U. S. /
to Make General Resume of YES
sells Sunk Since Lusitania
Disaster.

WASHINGTON. April ia general
outline of the future course OF the
American government in the submar-
inc issue is understood to have been
agreed upon at a meeting of President
Wilson and his cabinet.
Although a final decision was post
poned, pending receipt OF the German
note on it's way regarding the Sussex
and other merchant ships which re-
Gently have met disaster, it is expected
that the plans agreed upon will in
clude a general resume of all the
many vessels attacked from the time
of the Lusitania down to the present.
All phases of the issue were dis
cussed at the meeting.
To Disciaim German Blame.
1t is known through confidential ad-
vices that the German note, which is
due here shortly, will deny that any
German submarine torpedoed the Sus-5
sex and will disclaim German blame
in connection with other attacks about
which Ambassador Gerard has inquir
ed Consequently, in spite of the con-
vincing evidence in the hands of the.
state department, any reply that may
be sent probably will not deal exclu-.
sively with any one case or group of
cases.
Would End Friendly Relations.
If such a communication as now is.
contemplated is lent to Germany it
will be designed to preclude the pos-
sibility of further drawn-out diploma
tic exchanges and to make it plain the
reiterated assurances and promises
| that international law will be respect,
| ed can not protect the friendly rela-
| lions between the two countries if il,
| legal attacks upon peaceful merchant
| men carrying Americans are contin-i
| ued.
| To include Neutral Ships?
One Of the questions discussed at
length by cabinet members was
whether the United Ships should in
| clude in it's list of vessels attacked
neutral ships carrying no Americans.
An argument against doing this was
that such vessels carry the flags of
sovereign nations able to speak for
| themselves, but the preponderatrngi
view was that they should be includ-
ed both on the ground that many were.
| going to or coming from American
ports, and on the broad ground of hui
mainly.

THE TEXAS ELECTION.

The lane has had sudden turn
and the Republican enthusiasm is
being spilled along the road side as
II result of the sudden turning. The
Hughes following his nomination has
been on the wane since he began
searching for an issue and found none
and since he began resorting to the
common tactics of the ward politician
of attacking all opposite party had
done without offering any relief.
Following close upon the heels of
a statement from the Texas Republi-
can chairman that the Lone Star
state might cast its ballots for Hughes
comes the nomination of Culberson
by an unprecedented vote Senator
Culberson was in Washington all
during the campaign and the victory
won for him was a Wilson victory,
there is no other way to classify it.
Candidate Colquitt had a vast follow
ing. He won in the first primary
over his closest opponent by more
than thirty thousand votes. He had
this immense following coupled with
those who are not in sympathy with
the second primary and coupled with
the German-American vote and all
others who are opposed to the Demo
cratic administration.
This election is seen to be a great
er victory when it is known that Col
quit who has been honored by Tex
ans and whose name is known in
every household was in the state and
put his own personality into the cam
paign and challenged his opponent to
come to Texas and to make as many
as six speeches. The result is but
straw which shows the direction

against the proposition out of 6,255
votes recorded. A similar vote taken
by the Baltimore Sun in number of
states showed S,1S6 for universal SER
vice and ,055 against. Votes taken in
a like manner in various parts of the
country have shown like results.
The results already achieved in
awakening sentiment for universal
service greatly encourage officials of
the National Security League in the
continuance of its campaign for the
ultimate acceptance by the country of
this necessary system of national de-
fense.
