that his government disavowed the
act of the submarine commander as

THE PROBLEM OF

The extent to which floods sap the
resources of the country Is realized
by the general public only during the
spring period when the rivers are
rampaging. 1t is like the man who

The floods OF 1913 did $3O0,OOO.OOO

Annually the Mississippi and other
rivers are turned into raging tor
rents, converting fertile farms into
sand banks, and making prosperous
cities fight for existence.
Little progress toward solution
seems to be made. Competent Cd

Admit British Air

London, Feb. 16.-TOday s ueDate
in parliament on the air defense OF
Great Britain was chiefly remarkable
for the frank admissions made by
the cabinets spokesman that the
nresent conditions are far from sat

Andrew Bonar Law, secretary for
the colonies; A. J. Balfour, first lord
of the admiralty and Fl. j. remnant
under secretary for war, all spoke
in this vein. They declared howev'

all that was humanity possible.

said Cooking back on events, / am

The matter Of Zeppelins came up
earlier in the day in the opening
speech by William JOHNSON Hicks
unionist. who recalled Winston Spen'
Ger Churchill's statement of March
1914. that England was to have a
fleet of airships and that one Of the

Jay an indemnity for the American
ives lost in the Lusitania tragedy,
hut this proposition was not re-
,arded as acceptable by the govern
.nent OF the United States because 1t
was offered not as an act OF right
but as an act of grace. The crux OF
the difficulty lay in the fact that the
German government was unwilling
to disavow the act Of the submarine
commander who destroyed the Lusi'
tania or to agree to the declaration
that that destruction was an illegal
act. Il is understood that the Ger
man government was unwilling to
disavow the act OF the commander
who sank the Lusitania because his
act was in compliance with orders,
whereas It disavowed the act OF the
commander who attacked the Arabic
ON the ground that his action was
in violation of instructions. In like
manner 1t was unwilling TO admit
that the sinking of the Lusitania was
illegal. It's contention was that the
act was committed as a measure OF
retaliation or reprisal, and that such
acts are justifiable under certain cir
cumstances.
Under these circumstances, cou'
pied with the delay incident to the
diplomatic exchanges, a condition OF
tension gradually developed, produc'
ing situation which was character
ICED in Washington dispatches as
grave, though informal conferences
were still carried on between Am
bassador Won Bernstorfi and Mr..
Lansing. Now, however, after more
than nine months OF diplomatic ex'
changes over the Lusitania case,
there are indications that 1t is at last
approaching settlement. The ba'
sis for such settlement Is propos'
ed in note presented by Count Won
Bernstorff of recent date. According
to the best information available,
while Germany does not in terms dis
ayow the act Of its submarine COM
mander, and while 1t regards repris-
ais against an enemy as legal, IL
admits that the attack upon the Luz
sitania was an act of retaliation that
was not justifable in so far as 1t IN
volved the loss OF neutral lives and
assumes liability for the latter. In
addition, 1t renews the assurance al
ready given as to submarine attacks
upon liners and expresses willingness
to pay an indemnity for the Ame-i-
can lives lost. The terms of this
note have been considered by the
President and the Cabinet and are
regarded as broad enough to cover
the questions at issue. An inform
al agreement between Secretary Ian
sing and Ambassador Won Bernstorff
based upon the terms of the note, but
setting forth that the German gov
eminent recognizes instead Of as
sumes liability for the loss of Amer
lean lives, has been cabed to Berlin
with the suggestion that 1t be EN-.
bodied in a formal note from the
German Foreign Office. It Is ex-
pected that with the receipt of this
note, which is expected early next
week, assuming that the change in
wording suggested will be agreed to.
the long standing controversy will be
brought to a close except so far as
such details OF the amount Of indem'
nifty to be paid are concerned. -
