SINKING OF THE
 LUSITANIA REVIEWED

Then came the sinking of the Lusi-
 tania, almost a year ago, in which 115
 Americans, many of them women and children, were lost, in a submarine at-
 tack which subsequent events proved
 was known of in advance to the Ger
 man embassy in this country and which
 was guardedly advertised in the daily
 papers, in the form of a warning te
 Americans to keep off bellgerent ships 1 traversing the war zone.
 It seemed then as if the breaking point had come. That night President
 Wilson slipped out of the White House, eluded the secret service guard, walked for blocks around unfrequented streets in the attitude of a man confronted
 with making great decision. The first
 note to Germany pledging the United States to hold her to strict account ability followed soon afterward. Then another national sensation, due solely to the Lusitania negotiations, fol- lowed Secretary Bryan resigned be-
 cause he could not agree with the Presi- dents policy, which he believed would lead to war.
 | While the Lusitania negotiations were proceeding the Arabic was sunk with the death of more Americans and it seemed then the breaking point could not be ayerted

AMENDMENT TO INCREASE

The amendment making the army s peace strength 25O0O instead of 1SO,0OO as provided in the bill as framed by the military committee, was adopted, 43 to 37. g republicans and 21 democrats voting for it. A proposal to make the figure 150,0OO previously had been rejected, 66 to IS. A peace strength of only 1400oo is provided for in the army bill passed by the House and a sharp contest over that feature is looked for in conference.
 Senator Hardwick's amendment was agreed to, 56 to 24, the result coming as a surprise to senators on both sides of the chamber since prediction openly had been made that the volunteer army fea- ture, already included in the bill, would be rejected in conference.
 Senator Hardwicks amendment pro- vides for military instruction by commits stoned army officers under direction of the Secretary of War in every school and college in the United States having lOC or more male students over 15 years of age, when authorities of such schools apply for such instruction and the re- quisite number of students agree to ac- cept the training and to become part of the reserve force of the army of the nation. Application for the training would be purely voluntary, but all stu dents over IS years old receiving training would be subject to 8 call to the colors by the President in time of war oi

OFFER INDEMNITY FOR
 AMERICAN LIVES LOST

The German government gave it's as- surances not to torpedo more liners and Count Von Bernstorff informed Secretary Lansing that the German En- peror's orders to the submarine com admit of no misunderstanding. h. demnity for American lives lost on the Lusitania was offered and while long negotiations over the form in which Germany should admit the illegality of her act were in progress Austria was brought in the situation by the destruc- tion of the Ancona and later by the destruction of the Persia, although in the latter case responsibility was never definitely fixed.
 Austria finally gave satisfaction in the Ancona case, and while the Lusitania negotiations seemed to be nearing a final settlement Germany announced her new submarine campaign which be- gan on March 1, with the avowed pur- pose of sinking without warning any merchant ships of her enemies which carried armament. This raised a. new feature to the issue which never has been settled and since the new cam paign began scores of peaceful merchant cans, have been destroyed. The climax came with the destruction of the un- armed channel steamer Sussex and the endangering of about 50 Americans. Since the Sussex was attacked, state department records show more than 65 ships destroyed

DETERMINED TO END
 DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

Administration officials reflected Presl- dent Wilson's determination to have an ending to diplomatic negotiations, which they feel have brought only promises which have been unfulfilled and aSsur- ances which have turned out to be or disputed meaning.
 Until todays cabinet meeting state ments were semi i-officially authorized that communication to Germany was being prepared, which would be in the nature of an ultimatum, reciting long list of Instructions of vessels in violation of Germany's pledges. With the an- nouncement of the Presidents plan to lay the situation before Congress that phase of the situation was beclouded and no official would clear it up.
 It was indicated that a communication of some sort would go forward to Ger many, either simultaneously or subse- quent to the Presidents address to Congress- but it's terms were less clearly indicated tonight than at any time since officials allowed it to be stated that such a document was being written. It has been generally indicated by officials that it would be a chronological indictment of Germany's submarine policy as an of fense against the laws of nations and humanity, beginning with the first sub marine operations of the war and con- tinuing down to the Sussex and the later cases which have brought the situation to new crisis. In conclusion, 1t was understood, it would be clearly stated that it was Americas last word and that nothing but a. strict compliance with the principles for which the United States has all along contended could in sure continuance or friendly relations

ATTEMPT TO USE
 SUBMARINE AS CLUB

Although Germany denies responsibil- ity for the loss of the Sussex, the French government is said to have captured the submarine which destroyed her and the American government considers that Germany's disclaimer of responsibility is in itself a confession.
 Throughout the whole negotiations American officials were convinced that the German conduct of submarine war fare was being held over the United States as a club to force American ac- tion against Great Britain for her orders in council, her blockade of Germany and her practical blockade of the European neutrals which she suspected of being gateways to Germany.
 President Wilson steadfastly refused to permit the two situations to become connected, holding that the negotiations of the United States with one belliger- ent could in no way be made dependent upon it's relations with another. Upon the accumulation of evidence President Wilson and the cabinet have come to the conclusion that there is abundant evidence that Germany is vio- lating her promises, and upon that the President is prepared to outline his ac ton to Congress tomorrow. The next step will be disclosed only by the Presi dent himself when he speaks.
