J. s. DEMAND FOn
 SAFETY AT SEA
U-BOat Decree Blocks the Lu-
 Siiania Case.
MUST BE WARMED, IS DEMAND

Rernstorff Informs Lansing That Der
 En Will Renew All Assurances Re-
 sarding Attack on Liners if Germany
 Is Assured Her Submarines Will Not
 Re Shot At.
 Secretary Lansing refused to accept Germany's latest proposals for set clement of the Lusitania controversy.
 He told Count von Bernstorff that the United States could not accept these proposals. either ill whole or ill part, until Germany squares her re gently proclaimed submarine decree with her past assurances to the United States regarding her conduct of sub marine warfare.
 It was stated authoritatively that Germany, because of its unusual posi- ton. cannot and will not accept the suggestion of the United States as if now stands, that passenger ships car tying arms shall be immune from at tack under previous assurances.
 This is what Count von BernstortI Informed the secretary Berlin will do:
 Renew all the assurances maue regard Ing attacks on liners if Germany is given 10 understand her submarines will not be shot at.
 Germany Won't Promise.
 Germany will not promise to warn armed freight ships. She will take every possible precaution to safeguard the lives gf American citizens and asks the United States to give warning against travelling Gn armed ships of any kind.
 The assurance given by Germany at the time of the Arabic incident that nonresist- Ing passenger ships will not be fired upon without warning does not hold if German submarines are in danger of being fired upon.
 The Berlin attitude regarding lin ers' is crux of the negotiations.
 The German governments position regarding liners is keenly disappoint ing to the United States. AS the Ger man promise stands. unresisting pas aenger ships would not be sunk This government cannot be sure that Atlan- t1c liners will not carry guns for de fense. The presence of such guns leads Ao an assumption that will permit sub warning. This is only one of the diff eulties contributing to the seriousness of the new dispute.
 If the United States is to avoid risk qf incidents leading to war Americans will have to be warned not to travel on armed ships either in the Atlantic CT Mediterranean service. This the Fnited States says it will not do.
 The government is now going on the presumption that danger turks in every submarine question. For the country A means constant swing of the pen dulum between 'crisis" and settle Maent.''
 Ultimately all officials expect an agreement. The great danger now is that officials representing one country or another ill the negotiations will be- come weary of delay and take an in cautious step resulting in suspension of friendly relations.

Japanese Babies Lead.

Sacramento, May 24.-That the Jap
anese birth total in California has more
than tripled in the last five years is
shown today by the report of George
d. Leslie, chief statistician for the
state board of health.
In 1911 there were 995 Japanese ba-
bies born in California; in 1912 there
were ,467; in 1913 there were 2,215;
in 1914 there were 2,S74, and in 1915
there were 3,342.
. In the meantime the percentage of
white babies has decreased continuous
ly from 98.4 in 1906 to 95.5 for 1911
and to only 91.3 for 1915. The classi-
fication by race of the 4S,075 births in
California in 1915 is:
White 1854, or 91.3 per cent; Jap
anese, 3,342, or SO per cent; Chinese,
429; negro, 1872; Indian, SO.
In Sacramento county, exclusive of
Sacramento city, and in the city of
Watsonville, the number of Japanese
births in 1915 exceeded the number of
white births. There were 1913 Japa-
nese babies born ir the rural portion
of Sacramento county, and 1G7 white
babies.
In Watsonville there were 10 Jap
anese births and 103 white.
Another interesting feature of Les
lies report is that, while the Japa-
nese birth total increased more than
threefold in the five-year period, the
death toll rose by only 200 to max
imum of 663 for 1915.
