 situation, he asserted, was that there existed no really important reason for a breach, no conflicts of interest be- tween Germany and the United States. Germany, he said, was counting on @1cciprocal development of trade with America after the war. These hopes would be dashed, or at any rHte their development would be hampered greatly, if a breach were to come now; but Germany would do no more.
 pr. Zimmerman evidently believes Germany now has in the submarine a highly effective weapon for use against England. When reminded that even experts had disa greed pre- V4ously on this point, he rep1ied: & "Yes, 1 used to think that way, but now l have changed my mind"
 kreuz Zcitung Altitude.
 The Kreuz Zeitung interprets Pres ldent Wilson S present warIike course" as dictated to some extent by political Considerations. It says both the Am erican and the European press have regarded the presidents attitude throughout the war as being influ- enced by the approaching campaign, but that no one considered such an in terprctation of his utterances in a way especially unfaVorable to him, re- garding it as thing to be expected. Assuming . more serious tone the Kreuz Zeitung adds. 'At the moment it seems best to emphasize the point on which the German people are most completely agreed, namely, that no- body, of course, would regard a con- flict with the United States as slight matter, but that we are all resolved nevertheless to take upon us this new enmity, if it cannot be avoided without sacrificing ourself respect and dignity, without laying upon ourselves. fetters that hinder our freedom of movement in the struggle for our existence" 2IThe Nossische Zeitung and the Tage- blatt both hold that the announce ment in regard to the latest instruc- ton sent to Ambassador Von Bern storff, are not so sweeping as gener- ally supposed.

used was very reserved and could not warrant any hasty or for-reaching conclusions
 To Make Grave Decision.
 George Bernhard, editor of the Vos- sische Zeitung, draws the conclusion that the Lusitania negotiations have reached a point where German states men are called upon to make decisions of the utmost gravity. Germany's S agreement to pay indemnity for the loss of American lives and to submit to the tribunal at The Hague the ques- tion whether the tcrpedoing of the Iusitania was in accordance with in ternatiOnal law, he says, does not ap- near to have satisfied the American government which insists that Ger manH admit she was in the wrong This would deprive submarine warfare of any legal basis Herr Bernhard cannot believe that Ambassador Won Bernstorff's new isntructions empow- CT him to abandon entirely Germanys s previous position. He says everything now rests with President Wilson, who under the American constitution en- joys powers such as European mon archs can scarcely exercise. It is pre- ciselv because of this situation that Germans must indulge in no illusions.
 Await Houses Return.
 Herr Bernhard dCes not believe any immediate decision by Washington IS likely, inasmuch as the return of Col. F. M. House doubtless will be await ed He continues: "If President Will son wholly rejects our new proposals without indicating willingness to ac- cept d compromise, then the German governm ment would be placed in the po- stion of yielding further or of letting development take their course. Yield ing however. would mean abandon ment Of the whole submarine warfare. We can only express the hope that America will still recognize Germany conc cessions. If that is not the case we can neverth eless expect with cer- tainty that no decision will be taken calculated to cast doubt on the d1g- nifty of the German people or to inter fcre with the1r vital necessities.

 Fight to Save Library. One of the most stubborn fights of | the whole fire was that made to save the fine library building. which ist ono | of the most beautiful on the conti nent and the fight was successful While the fire burned the passage from the reading room up to the walls of the library it's progress was stayed there. No damage is done to the building, but considerable loss to the books, particularly those which were in the basement, was caused by water. The fire was under control about o'clock, though several streams are still being played on the interior.
 Morning has not revealed any casualties other than those reported last night, Madam Bray and Madam Morin of Quebec, who were the guests of the speaker and who were caught and suffocated in a room. and the three men who are thought to be buried under fifteen feet of debris, comprising the list. They were caught when a turret at the north side of the building fell MT. Loggie, who was reported missing, is now be- i1eVed to have escaped through near exit with slight injuries
 The men are Alphonse Des Jar dlns, a Dominion policeman: AL phonse Des Jardins, his uncle, an em- rlcye in the building, and Robert Fannlng, a waiter. As vet the debris has not been removed from where they are thought to be.
 Started in Reading Room.
 The fire started in the reading room of the house of commons and Colonel George Bradbury, a memb Der of the house from Manitoba: Mayor Medric Martin of Montreal, and Constable Helmer who was standing at the entrance of the library, agreed that it was preceded by an explosion which blew open the doors of the library and knocked down persons standing near. They say that they believe the explosion was caused by a bomb or internal machine. Pc licemen were on guard at both doors of the library and other persons were i'll the room itself so that it would have been difficult for any one to de- liherately set fire without detection Suggestions were made that the blaze started from a sm ould ering cigar butt, but smoking was prohibited in the library.
 Not of Incendiary Origin.
 The fire started in the reading room of the house of commons Colonel Sherwood stated that there is absolutely no ground for rumors that the fire was of incendiary origin. "It started right under the nose of a policeman" he stated.
 The fire spread with amazing ra pidity, but this may be explained by the contents of the room-papers, light tables, etc.
 The central part of the main build ing, including the chambers of both the commons and senate is destroyed, but the front and end walls are ap- Earently in good shape though ex- perts will have to determine the structural damage. Both the east and west ends of the buildings are but little damaged with the exception of the roof and top floors. The towers were completely ruined, the superstructure falling, though the masonry still stands.

No Comment From Lansing

No Comment From Lansing Washington, Feb. 4.-In the absence of official information, Secretary Ian sing today refused to discuss any phase whatever of the Lusltanla ne gotiations. It appeared at the state department, however, that if officials regarded the situation as seriously as it is reflected in Berlin dispatches, it was not permitted to appear on the surface.
 Something definite may take form after President Wilson returns to the capital this afternoon.
 No Word Reaches Washington.
 Secretary Lansing said that no word had reached him of Germany's s later answer to the Lusitania negOtia- tons as reported in dispatches from Berlin. F@
 Early today the instructions had not reached Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
 President Wilson read the Berlin despatches on the situation while his tram was running between Balti- more and Washington. He made no comment but members of his party said they regarded the situation as "urfavorable." It was said the president had not finished consider irg the official despatches he received last night on his train.

ROW ON AT CHICAGO
 IS OVER MR. HUGHES
 PROPOSED VISIT THERE

CHICAGO. July 29 Mayor Thompsons modest claim, "I con cluded arrangements for Chas. Ey- ans Hughes to speak in Chicago Aug. 8, has been rudely punctured.
 No less a parsonage than William R. Wilcox. chairman of Republi- can national committee. drove the tack into the tire. Over long dis tance telephone Mir. Wilcox denied the mayor was authorized to ar range for the meeting or to as- hume direction of the show.
 He indicated that no one local G. O. P. faction will be enabled to utilize the Hughes rally for its per sonal aggrandizement, and that the meeting will be held under neutral Republican auspices. It may be the Hamilton Club or the Union Club or some similar body.
 Otherwise the meeting may be called of and Mir. Hughes may jump from Detroit to St. Paul without even hesitating in Chicago. Such was the intimation the long-distance inquirers gathered from New York headquarters.
