THOUGHT IT WAS WARSHIP

'In view of the general impression of all the facts at hand the German gov ernment considers it beyond doubt that the commander of the submarine acted in the bona fide belief that he was fac ing an enemy warship On the other hand it cannot be denied that, mised by pressure of the circumstances, he formed her character, and did not, therefore, act struction which called upon him to exer- else particular care.
 Tn view of these circumstances, the German government frankly admits that the assurance given to the American government, in accordance with which passenger vessels were not to be attack el without warning, has nor been ad- hered to in the present case. As was intimated by the undersigned In the note of the fourth instant the German gov ernment does not hesitate to draw from this resultant consequences. It, therefore, expresses to the American government its sincere regret regarding the deplorable incident and declares it's readiness to pay an adequate indemnity to the injured American citizens. It also disapproved of the conduct of the commander, who has been appropriately punished.
 Expressing the hope that the Ameri- can government will consider the case of the Sussex as settled by these state ments, the undersigned avails himse- of the occasion to renew to the ambas- sador the assurance of his highest con- sideration. WON JAGOW."

OBREGONpS ACTION AT JUAREZ MEETING AS ID THE PROTOCOL
 PUZZLES OFFICIALS
May Be Trying to Make PO- litical Capital, But Will Hardly PrOlOng It Enough to Cause Break

l Washington. May 10.-Further develop
 ments in the Mexican situation still | awaited tonight definite outcome of the Ei Paso conference between Generals Scott, Funston and Obregon. Officials of both the war and state departments ap- peared confident that an agreement satis- factory to both sides would be negotiated, although they hesitated to predict how much time be required.
 The course of General Obregon at El Paso has been puzzling. Administration officials have had reason to believe that General Carranza had given his assent to the agreement originally framed ex- cept in minor details. The plan was sug- gested ill part at least by General Ob- regon himself when the conferees first met, yet Obregon has refused thus far to exchange notifications with General Scott.
 In some quarters it was thought the Mexican war minister might be seeking political benefit from the tactics he had adopted. There is no official information tending to support this view, although iutimations of friction between Carranza and his war minister have been pub lished frequently.
 BREAK NOT FEARED
 It is not believed here that political ma nipulation of this sort, if it does exist, will be prolonged to the point of causing a break with the United States. A feel ing of optimism as to the final result of the conference is based largely upon this view and also upon the fact that General Scott had given no indication that he thought an agreement could not be reached Secretary Baker said the delay probably was due to the difficulty of re- viewing incidental points in finding com mon ground on which the conferees could agree.
 Meanwhile some of the additional troops ordered to the border yesterday were pre- stunned to be en route tonight. The war department had received no direct reports from the various regular commanders, al- though many routine messages dealing with the movements came today. Mobil- ization of the Arizona, New Mexico and Texas National Guard was proceeding under state authority until the forces could be formally mustered into the fed eial service and placed under direct com- mand of General Funston.
 Probably S0GG additional regulars for border work could be drawn from the coast artillery posts should the need arise There were 1900 men of the corps Tn the continental United States at the time of the last official report Secretary Baker sad late today he was not at pres- ent considering sending more artillerymen ana had not sought informa tion as to now many more could be sent.

REALM OF BEAUTY

EdSt Lake park IS indeed a realm or rare beauty, especially after darkness has fallen and the brilliant mazda and nitrogen lights are Illuminating the grounds, but only those who have visited
 it since the opening a few days ago can really realize the truth of this state ment
 East Lake park is certainly the thing Birmingham has needed for so many years said Gen. Louis " Clark who drove party out to the auto show in the new Packard, which was Miss Augusta Clark's birthday gift a few days ago People here in this city have often ex- pressed wonder why the Magic City of the south did not have swell refined amusement parks like St Louis, eastern cities and New York We have it here now, in East Lake park, and the man. agement is due the heartiest congratula- tions and the most liberal patronage of the public, for East Lake park now is becoming to any city of any size, even double that of the present Birmingham It is, indeed a wonderful spot and the good order maintained, the very apparent atmosphere that it is operated only for those seeking quiet, coolness and innocent diversion will continue to increase it's popularity.
 ''The Age-Herald is to be congratulated also" continued General Clark, flor hay ing originated and carried such novel idea as an open air auto show to a suc- cessful conclusion. The number of cars on display, the throngs inspecting them, and the general enjoyment of both eX- hibitors and the public make the oc- casion wholly worth while and one which should be commended"

 John B. Bethea, chairman of the coun- ty democratic executive committee, an- nounced that the official canvass of the returns would begin at the courthouse at noon today. Itis expected that it will be late tonight before the work win be completed. On account of the fact that in the close races the official canvass may change the result and the further fact that practically no attention has beer paid in compiling unofficial figures to the second choice proposition, the result ol the canvass is awaited with keen in terest.

EVIDENCE IS UNTENABLE

Finally the counter evidence which was deduced in the note of the tenth ultima from the difference in appear ance of the vessel described by the sub marine commander, and the only repro duction of the Sussex then available, has proven to be untenable, inasmuch as according to a photograph of the dam aged Sussex now to hand, the characteris- tic distinctions no longer existed at the time of the accident; while the Sussex h the photograph of the Daily Graphic en- closed in the note only carried one mast and also showed the white gangway cus- tomary on passenger vessels on the level with the portholes O. w. s., the repro duction of the damaged Sussex, shows second mast and uniform dark color, and thus approaches in her outer appear ance the description of the vessel as furnished by the submarine commander
