GERMAN PREss RADICAL /
Holds Compliance With Lansing De
tl mand 10 Impossible.

Berlin, via London, Feb. 5.-Tnere
are no new developments here today in
the Lusitaniaa case. while news Is be-
ing awaited from Washington. With
regard to the proposals of Secretary
Lansing on the subject of submarine
warfare and the arming Of merchant
men, the Associated Press is authora-
lively informed that they have not so
far been submitted to Germany.
The press continues to discuss the
cable reports regarding the proposals
of Mr.. Lansing. The Koelnische Volks
Zietung, an organ of the Catholic party,
says that the proposals are absolutely
Unacceptable, as their acceptance would
signify the abandonment Of the entire
German submarine campaign against
! the commerce Of the allies.
With regard to the Lusitania incident
the Voll<s Zietung says that II Mr.. Will
son is correctly reported as demanding
that Germany recognize that the sink
, ing of the Lusitania was illegal and
unjustified, then there can be, only one
answer flat refusal.
Acesptanee Would Admit Weakness.
"The Kreuz iZetung says it is neces-
sary to emphasize the reasons which
should influence Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg. suddenly raising the
question of the general principle in
volved In the Lusitania affair and de-
manding that we adopt a position
completely at variance with the one we
took clearly six months ago. He will
have to decide whether this action by
America does not reflect intentions
which could not be removed by conces-
sions, however great on our part, but
could be met only. by firm resolution.
'"The chancellor will have to consider
whether it would not make on our al
lies our enemies and neutrals, an i'm
preston of weakness by no means JUS
titled by our successes and military po-
sition to abandon our former stand
point and made a confession Of having
acted contrary to international lava
confession which would be used for all
times to prove the truth of ISLANDERS
which have been heaped upon u.s."

REGRET BANK cLANNIsHNEss.
Federal Reserve Board Asks No Dis

Washington, Feb. 5.-The federal re-
serve board issued a statement today
expressing regret at the disposition
evidenced in some states to, draw q
line of distinction and cleavage be"
tween state and national banks which
are m embers of the federal reserve
system.
It has taken form, the statement
says, by efforts in some states to sep
arate existing bankers societies into
separate organizations, one for state
and one for national banks.
1T appears to the board" says the
statement, that common ground for
both groups Of banks should be
sought"
