PRuSS|AN TREATY
GOVERNS THE CASE

Washington, Feb. 5.-Secretary Lam
sing indicated the United States has
decided the Prussian-American treaty
governs the case of the Appam, as
Germany contends
The secretary disclosed further the
sole question to be decided is how long
the Appam should be permitted to re-
main in American waters The treaty
guarantees to German prize the
right to come and go freely.
If the Appam is forced to depart it
doubtless will become the prey of
British cruisers assembling outside
the Virginia capes. If forced to de-
part German officials have said the
ship will be sunk to prevent recapture
by the British.
Germany is expected to contend the
treaty guarantees the Appam the right
to remain safe in Hampton Roads un-
til the case goes before a prize court
for adjudication

FIVE PERSONS DIE

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 5.-Two women
and three men are known to have per-

lhe central portion of Canada's mag
nificent parliament building, destroy
ing the chambers of commons and
senate. Several others are reported
missing and it is feared they are
buried in the ruins.
Immediately after the fire started q
report was spread broadcast that it
was caused by the explosion of an in
cendiary bomb. The fire started in
the reading room of the house of CON-
mons and several persons who were
present at the time, including Mayor
Medric Martin of Montreal, asserted
that it was preceded by an explosion
which knocked down several persons.
The bomb theory, however, was re-
jected by Colonel Sherwood, commits
sioner of Dominion police, who insist

Berlin Makes Concessions IN
luSitania Incident.
REMOVES DANCER OF BREAK
German Imperial Government Declares
Killing Of Americans Was
Without Intent.

Washington, Feb. For the word
illegal" which Germany was unwill-
ing to incorporate in the tentative
draft of the Lusitania agreement, the
Berlin foreign office has substituted
phrase, which certain high authorities,
in position to be familiar with the
status of the negotiations, consider
covers all the principles involved in
the question of submarine warfare.
The language substituted for the OBJ
jectionable word "illegal,' in a ten
tative communication now being con-
sidered by President Wilson, AYERS
that the killing of 115 Americans in
the I.usitania disaster was without
intent, because the destruction of the
Cunard liner was an act of reprisal,
and the German government agrees
that reprisals should not be applied
to neutrals.
From various diplomatic and official
quarters came the information that
the outlook is promising for an early
settlement.
It was indicated that the tentative
form Of settlement, which, should it
prove acceptable to the United States,
will be embodied in formal communi-
cation from Germany, approaches
nearer the desires of the United States
than any yet submitted with authority
of Berlin officials.
Reason for Submarine War.
The agreement is prefaced with the
statement that submarine warfare in
the North sea was inaugurated by
Germany in retaliation for what she
regarded as the illegal" British block
ade under the ers-in-council.
It then states that the method of
conducting submarine warfare in the
North sea has been modified on &C.
count Of the friendship Germany has
for the United States and because of
the fact that American lives have been
lost.
Germany says the killing of Ameri.
cans was not intended, because re-
prisals should not be applied to neu-
trails, and in addition to expressing re-
greet for the loss of American lives,
assumes liability, and offers repara-
ton in the form of indemnity.
The last portion of the document
expresses the readiness of Germany to
cooperate with the United States in
any effort looking toward the freedom
Of the seas.
Secretary Lansing allowed it to be-
come known that he might have some
announcement on the Lusitania case
to make within the next few days.
