that during the week named the

There is a spirit of fair play inner

as their predecessors, credit for being
as they were, and are with but few eX-

Of men who, had they embarked in

THAT the saloon promoted the use
of liquor is not denied, nor will it be
contended that the continued use of

GERMAN NOTE
CLEARS AIR
BELIEVED THAT SUBMARINE WAR.
FARE CONTROVERSY is NOW
ABOUT SETTLED
Agreed With American Position And
ReparatiOn i'm Lusitania Case
Has Been Assured

By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s. Robert
Lansing, secretary of state, today made
public the German note of November
30th on the sinking of the Ftye. 1t
revealed a complete agreement on the
American position, Germany speci-
fically agreeing that passengers shall
not be put to sea in small boats un-
less the sea is calm and land is near.
There is no authority for state
ment that the administration will not
insist on an unequivocal disavowal of
the Lusitania torpedoing. 1t is possi-
BILE, however, that Germany's promise
of reparation will be considered suf-
ficient.
The failure of Austria and Germany
to receive reports on the Persia sink
ing led to the belief that the cause will
never be known. A complete and
final settlement of all submarine con-
troversies seemed near. Reparation
in the Lusitania and Persia cases are
the chief consideration.
