be discussed at tomorrow's cabinet
meeting.
Think Evidence Conclusive
While Germany denies the Sussex was
attacked by one of her submarines and
.xplains that sketch made by the
submarine commander of ship he
torpsdoed did not tally with the de-
: scription of the Sussex, officials say
that Germany's admission that a sub
marine was in the vicinity, coupled
with the array of evidence at hand.
points to the conclusion that the Sus-
sex was torpedoed.
Likewise officials say there is a con-
flict between the evidence in the Ger
man version that the steamers English
man and Eagle Point were sunk after
they attempted to escape and evidence
received here from other sources. Ger
many's contentious in the cases Of the
steamers Berwndvale and the Manches-
ter Engineer are not considered here as
conclusive.
Extended to Freight Vessels.
Attention was called to the fact that
in her note Germany by inference ad-
mits that it is just as illegal to tor
pedo freight ships as it is to torpedo
passenger steamers. The Berlin gov
ernment recites what it claims to be
the circumstances of the attacks on at
least three non-passenger carrying
ships and says international law was
observed, warning having been given
and the members of the crews having
been afforded an opportunity to reach
what Germany considers were places
of safety.
Heretofore the German government
has proceeded upon the contention that
the assurances given in the Lusitania
and Arabic cases referred only to
'.Hners" and that by liners only pas
senger-carrving vessels were meant
Now. it appears to officials from the
text of the latest note that Germany
has abandoned the contention in re-
gard to the definition of the word
liners and admits that it includes
freight carrying vessels.
The State Department has consld-
cred from the first that the word liners
included all ships belonging to steam
ship lines and what is considered Ger

sideration is well founded. further as

The Griffin bill, providing method fof
nensioning civil service employees of the
nostal service who become incapacitated
through age, was reported favorabiy to
the full post Office committee OF the
House today by the Beakes subcommit-

No age limit is established by the bill,
it being contended that some employees
at sixty-five are as active as ever, while
many are incapacitated by age and hard
work before that time.
Some Action Necessary.

FIGHT OVER FOUNDERS"
TITLE BEFORE D. A. R.
Challengers of Mrs. Lockwood's
Right Have Heated Debate at
Special Meeting.

Rough sailing seems to threaten
the course of the coming meet
ing of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, result of
a fight started yesterday to challenge
the right of Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood
of this city to recognition as a founder
of the society. There was declared to
be much heated debate at yesterdays
special meeting, which adjourned leav-
ing the whole question undecided. and
with the probability that the question
would be brought up on the floor at
the meeting of the organization which
begins here Monday.
Charges of all kinds are to be heard
from the friends of the various fac-
tions, each trying to put on the other
the blame for the whole affair. MRS.
William Cumming story, president
general of the organization, today de-
clned to discuss the meeting or the ar
fair in any way, although admitting
that a special meeting was held yes
terday
Accuses Opponents.
Mrs Lockwood refused to talk to
callers this morning about the affair.
Friends of the aged chaplain general,
however. assert that the meeting was
called and the friends of Mrs. Lock-
wood were not informed of the purpose
of the meeting. although charging that
opponents of her right to recognition
as founder were given clear idea OF
lust what would be brought up at the
meeting.
on the other hand members of the
Story following asserted they called
the special meeting at the request of a
number of members of the organiZa-
ton. They declare that the whole
matter was fostered by Mrs. Lock-
woods friends in Mary Washington
Chapter, who were seeking to have re-
tracted statements made at a public
meeting of the organization that Mrs.
Lockwood was not founder.

Administration Is Facing
Most Serious Problem Yet
in Connection With Mexico
Continued from First Page.)

Carranza government, and will bear in
mind. it was said today. that Carranza
is facing many problems that make 1t
advisable to favor him to the limit of
fairness to this country.
Officials of the administration would
not refer to the charge Of Carranza's g
prime minister that the United States
broke faith in Sending troops across
the border without notification. I'm
officially the opinion was given that
carranza was simply trying to find
fault and sought this one thing to base
his claim upon.

His Topic, Blood and Sin.
His subject was THE Blood of the
Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ"
After reading the twelfth. thirteenth
and fourteenth verses of the ninth
chapter Of Hebrews he stated that his
| sermon was to be topical rather than
textuaL And that topic, as he permit
ted the congregation to see. was di-
vided into two parts-the blood and
sin.
There is no use in Disgusting the
fact" he said. that it is bloody gos-
pei. bloody Bible. bloody religion
Christs atoning sacrifice out Of religion
you have nothing but Unitarianism'
And he referred again to the action
| of the New York Presbytery in voting
against accepting the Immaculate con-
| ception, declaring that had he been
present at the meeting there would
have been a SCRAP"
THE world is going to hell fast
enough" he exclaimed. without being
pushed along by the church.
Tells How Innocence Suffers.
He opened the storehouse of his
! vituperation upon those who argued
that there was little jusice in the prin-
ciple Of Christ's atonement. as suffer-
ing for misdoing should not and log
ically could not be vicarious-in other
words. that the innocent could not log
ically suffer with the guilty. Every
subscriber to such a belief he charac-
terized as fool, imbecile, idiot ass
all four. and it's rank 1attery at thatv'
To prove that innocence suffers al
ways with guilt he referred to the suf-
ferinr of a mother for the wayward-
ness OF her son; of a wife for the inf
deIity of her husband. And in these
cases. he said, the burden of the inno-
cent was far greater than that of the
guilty.
