 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.- Germany has submitted to the United States through Ambassador von Bernstorff another written proposal designed to bring about d settlement of the con trOVersy over the sinking of the steamship Lusitania, with q loss Of more than 100 American lives There were indications tonight that the doe umcnt might bring to d satisfactory termination negotiations which have been in progress for eight months. Although the greatest secrecy sur rounds the negotiations. it Was stated tonight on excellent authority that Germany finally has agreed to elim- mate from the text of the agreement amy mention of the warning issued by the German embassy the day the Lusitania sailed on her last trip from New York. Mention of this warning ! is understood to have been contained in the last proposal, which was re- l icctcd after President Wilson had con- sidered it.
 1 It is understood also that Germany has left out her proposed general reservation of admission of wrong doing on the part of the submarine commander to which the United States : objected
 | Mention of the warning is believed | to have been most objectionable to the administration. In effect it was regarded as conveying the idea that no American lives would have been l lost had the warning been needed.
 It Was also stated authoritatiVelY { that in it's latest communication Ger many makes some reference to d de { sire to see the United States take action in regard to the questions in- volvins the freedom of the seas. 1 The German ambassador and Sec | retary Lansing probably will confer regarding the proposal in the immedi- ate future. Germany reiterates clear i ly, il is said that the torpedoins of { the Lusitania was an act of reprisal i for the British blockade of the Ger man coast. Extreme regret again is expressed that Americans lost their lives 1 in the commission of the reprsal and | Germany freely offers reparation iu | the form of indemnity. The attention uf the United States is called to the , fact that such forms of reprisals have [ been discontinued as the result of negotiations with this government anC
 to the fact that broad assurances fol ! the future have been given. All dis cussion considered superfluous has been stricken from the proposal : Consideration of public opinion il
 this country and in Germany were said to have played an important part
 in the drafting of the document.
 The German government is under stood to be most anxious to settle
 the matter in d manner mutually satisfactory. It is said, however that
 the proposal now before the admins
 tration is considered to be final Ger
 many is said to hold that she has gon,
 as far as she possibly can honorabl}
 to meet the views of the United

 The negotiations are treated a>
 highly confidential in official and dip

 THE ENEMY AIT
TFcpubHcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WAsHlNGTuN. Jan. 3t Great Huains trading with the enemy act is vigorously opposed by the United States in representations pre- pared toda, for presentation to the British foreign office. They are ex- pcctcd to go forward .mmcdiately
 The state department considers that grave and uniu-tifiahlc injury to American commerce may follow should m attempt be made to enforce pro visions affecting business in this country
 Tine "uadus with the enemy" act prohibits persons resident in Great Britain from trading with any cor poratious or iudivduaIs which are cucaecd in supplying the Teutonic allies or have amy business dealings Wi,h them.
 The position of the United States is that. aside from a lack If legal authority for the proposed interfer- cuca with trade. the returns of Amer Iaau and German capital and of Ger nan capital with American manufac- turing industries is such that it would be quite impossible success fully To aim a blow at Germany without doing great damage to inter ests in this country. This last fact in itself is considered sufficient jus tification for the objection to the ap- plicdtion of the act to American trade.
 The representations will not take the form of d protest because the act is limited in it's immediate op- cration to British subjects. At this time il is considered that there is no ground for formal protest against the exchange as sch action iu the usual practice. can only be taken in case such an act k directed at d neutral nation whose interests are supposed to be affected.
 The representations will serve the purpose of varuin4 Great Britain that the action is regarded as being wholly unfair and that proper compensation Vtil-Ae expected for any injury sus- tane3 h., American trade.
 Officials regard the American posi- tiou as being amply backed by prece- dent set m the ralt ul}S or the fe- public and during the Spanish-Amcri- can war. Tn addition Great Britain itself has made objections to attempt: to the injury of trade of an enemy a the expense of d neutral
 In broad sense. the United States considers that the product of the citi zen or subject of a bclligercut stat' living in ncutrll state must be re garded as being neutral. In this i'm stance tbe output of a German factor. owned ia jh, United States or even German controlled corporation is t Doe regarded as aaviug the same statu as thc produce ol au American cstab lishmcut.
 This is held to be an inalicnabl right under well established principle of international law decisions of tn Cptcd States supreme court and e high joint commissions which hay adjusted claims eroWing out of vari ous wars in the past

Franklin Mohr, in the trial of Mrs Mohr and two negroes, Cecil Brown and Henry Spellman, on charges of murdering the doctor, pre- cipitated legal battle today. Before it was over. testimony was produced that there vas nothing in the records to indicate that the divorce suit was down for d hearing in September, 1915. although George Healie the doc tors chauffeur, who has turned states evidence, had previously testi- fled that Mrs. Mohr had urged him and his alleged accomplice to kill the doctor on the night of August 3l. as il was the last chance" before her suit came up for d hearing the first of the next month.
 This information was given by Ed ward (. Root, assistant clerk of the superior court who had handled the papers In answer to questions put to him by Attorney General Rice Mr. Root said that the divorce petition of Mrs. Mohr had never been heard, that there had been no final disposi- tion of the contempt proceedings brought against her, and that there has been on hearing on an equity suit filed by Mrs. Mohr to recover cer- tain real estate from Dr. Mohr.
 And these matters could have been ] put down for hearing at any time?" ] the attorney general asked.
 i "Yes. sir upon motion,' the witness answered
 ] Upon cross-cNamnation, however, Alr. Root admitted that there was noth- 1 ing in the records to intimate that the divorce suit was down for d hearing in , September, 1915.
 Mrs. Mohrs petition was read .n as i evidence by the attorney general ear Her in the day. In its amended form she asked for separate maintenance and charged the doctor with wrong doing in his relation with other women. and with the Use of drugs
 An effort was also made hy the at torney general to introduce the doe tors cross petition. Both were offered. the prosecution states. to show what the mental attitude of Mrs. Mohr was toward her husband after he had made certain allegations against her in his cross petition for divorce
 The arguments that cnsued between counsel were lengthy and heated Mrs MohrS lawyer said she had nothing to fear from disclosing the contents oi the divorce papers, but he objected to the state asking q question as to whether Dr. Mohrs cross-bir show. any time stated as the date of the mar riage- He charged the prosecuting at torney with attaching q sinister mean ins' in his question.
 In Mrs. Mohr's petition she says she married "on or about May l5, 1903.
 The court finally excluded both doc uments as evidence, leaving on record the testimony relative, to them and the reading of the original petition by the attorney general
