NelU Berlin Report
Seems Satisfactory

lost in the Lusitania disaster, offers
reparation and declares that the sub
marine warfare in the zone around
the British Isles has been modlhed
out of regard for the long standing
friendship for the United States and
because American citizens have lost
their lives. The communication also
calls attention to previous assurances
that passenger ships shall not be
sunk without warning and without
provision for the safety of noncom-
batants and that the instructions CIV
en- to submarine commanders in this
respect have been made so stringent
that there can be no recurrence OF
such Incidents
To Avoid Danger.
In taking the precaution to submit
TO Berlin the changes suggested.
Count Won Bernstorff is believed to
have been actuated by desire to OBJ
viate any possibility that the COM
munication later might be repudiated
becau-e Of slight difference in Ian
guage.
Officials appeared to be reluctant
to proclaim that achievements have
been gained. There were indications
that this was caused by probable con-
sideration for the political situation
in Germany
Officials here are Of the opinion
that the Lusitania case mas been han

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.
It Was Passed In England on Account
of Peter TheIusson's Will.

It Was Passed In England on Account
of Peter TheIusson's Will.
Tie ThelluSson law. once enacted by
the British government. WAS law to
regulate the disposition Of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation of estates. 1t had Il GU
rious origin.
On the 9th Of July, 1897, one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant Of
French birth. died in London, leaving
certain sum to his widow and chill
dren and the remainder of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, to trustees TO ac
cumulate during the lives Of his chill,
dren. grandchildren and great-grand
children living at the time of his death
and the survivors Of them. The ac-
cumulation would have been enormous.
The will was contested, but was held
valid. In order however. to prevent
such Il disposition Of property IN the
future. parliament passed what was
called the ThelluSSon act. or accumula-
tons act, regulating and limiting be,
quests in such way as to make grea;
accumulations impossible.
When Peter Thellusson's last sur
viving grandson died, in 1886, ques-
ton arose rs to whether the eldest
male descendant or the male descend
ant of the eldest son should inherit the
property and this question was de-
cided on appeal by the house of lords
in June. 1888 The Thellusson will and
the legislation growing out Of it were
a subject OF much discussion by law
