Lieutenant Berg, German command

/ evidence that the Moewe, which cap
tured the Appam and seven other craft,

in the German auxiliary reserve. Much

Lieutenant Berg mad appointments

and to internment in protection of the
American port.
The Appam, is chchored just off Old
Point Comfort a quarter of mile from

About her circles a fleet of harbor
craft, vainly trying to get into com

whom are believed still to be restrain

colors flying on the Appam while she

Berlin, by wireless to sayvilIe, L. l.,
Feb. 2.-The foreign office has sent
Ambassador Won Bernstorff at Wash
ington instructions which give rea-
sOnable hope for "positive under

semi-officially stated today.
The statement was issued because Of
alarming reports from British sources

"It is true,'' said the statement,
"that Saturday Ambassador Won Bern
stOrff cabled that he had found it
thus far impossible to adjust the case
in a manner satisfactory to both sides
by friendly verbal exchange. Today
instructions were transmitted which
give the reasonable hope for a positive
understanding.
The above tends to confirm dis
patches last Saturday night to United

at Berlin. In these he said, Germany
is anxious for settlement of the
Lusitania case and win do what it can
to provide such adjustment.

yet in its present form it may be said
to have actually sprung into existence,
to have come before the eyes of Bridge

TWO OPINIONS.

Mr.. Editor:-Ive just heard Il man
who has been voting the DenocraIlc
ticket for twenty 1--we years, (rcgard-
less of the merits OF the candluateS), E,
say that he would vote for any can
didate against Wilson, except Koose-
welt, and as between him and Wilson
he would not vote at all.
His quarrel with Wilson is that he
is too beiligerent and instead of warn
ing Americans to stay aC home, pre-
ferred to warn Germany not to muir
der them at sea.
l have heard man within q week
who has consistently voted the Re
publican ticket, (rcgardlcss Of the
merit of the candidates), say that he
will vote for Wilson against any man,
because he (Wilson) is the only man
in the United States who had the
will (and ability to keep this country
out of the European war, and the
firmness to avoid war with Mexico.
Now, the reason l cite these two
opinions is to PROFOUND an interrog-
atory which here follows:
From the standpoint of patriotism
and good citizenship, which of these
two peaceloving party rcnegades is
in the right, the Democrat who blames
Wilson for protesting" against the
murder on the high seas of American
citizens or the Republican who ac-
knowledges that he is the only man
in the United States who could (ol
would) have kept our country at
peace? INQUIRER.
