u. S. WON'T ACCEPT
| WORD OF GERMANY
Convinced Kaiser Has inferred
Upon Ruthless Campaign.
PaRARf INDICTMENTS on sUBMAQINE
Recent Attacks on Merchant Vessels
Without Warning Causes Anx-
iety-Crisis Seems Near.

Washington, ID. c. : The accumula-
tion Of circumstantial evidence indicat-
ing that Germany has engaged upon
campaign Of submarine warfare which
has no regard for the rights Of Amer
lean citizens travelling on merchant
ships Of belIigerent nationality. the
administration considers, has created
one Of the most serious situations
which has confronted the United States
since the beginning Of the war IN
Europe.
Every agency open to the State de-
partment Is being employed in an
effort to gather an unimpeachable ar
ray Of facts regarding the explosion
which damaged the British channel
steamer Sussex, the sinking Of the
British ships Manchester Engineer,
EngIishman, Eagle Point and the
Dutch steamer Tubantia and the al
legged firing Of torpedo at the French
passenger ship Patria-
All Of these ships carried American
citizens and ali apparently were at
tackled in violation Of Gernany's re-
Gently assurances to the United States
The next step Of the United States
Is said authoritatively 70 have been de-
termined upon. Unless Germany in
reply to the inquiries through Ambas-
sador Gerard makes some statement to
cause the State department 70 change
its present intentions, it is understood
that ali the recent aggravating incl
dents win be combined in one general
formidable indictment which will bring
the entire subject to clear cut issue.
Should Germany admit responsibility
for any OF the attacks and attempt 70
satisfy the United States BY saying
that a mistake had been made, offer
TO make reparation. and to punish the
submraine commander, the issue would
not by any means be disposed Of. II
Is regarded as certain that the United
States will not accept such an explana-
tion as satisfactory, at least until time
has shown what punishment actually
was meted out to the offending sub
marine commander and whether any
value longer could be attached 70 Ger
many's promises.
In the event of Germany disclaiming
responsibility for the disasters. the
United States will proceed with its In
yestigations to determine to It's own
satisfaction whether the evidence
which now strongly indicates that the
Sussex and other ships were torpedoed
without warning can be regarded -
conclusive proof
With such proof before it, the gov
ernment probably would act promptly.

Canan1a Grants 10 United States
Right to Use Meuaa Northwestern

Washington, ID. c. One Of the
army's most seroius problems in hunt
ing villa was solved Thursday when
General Carranza granted the renewed
request of the State department for
permission to use the Mexican North
western railroad.
Secretary Baker issued this state
ment at the War department:
eve have directed Gen. Funston 70
tender for railroad shipment cargoes
of supplies either directly TO our mill-
tary men or to civilians. This does
not involve any tender of munitions
for such railroad transportation, nor
does it involve the use Of American
military guards on any Mexican
trains.
General Carranza's answer was con-
tanned in a brief message from James
I. Rodgers, special agent Of the Unit-
cd States at Queretaro, saying the
head of the de facto government
argeed to the commercial use Of the
line.
Officials here assumed he would be
equally prompt in notifying his otil-
GERS on the border and that Gen. Fun
ston might begin shipment at once
