Something Unforeseen lnterferes.

Washington, FEB. 4-President Will

preparedness today so well pleased
with its results that he probably will
make another soon. unless the Lusi-
tania negotiations or some other fea-
ture Of the foreign situation develops

Although no arrangements have been
made, officials Indicated tonight that
the possibilities of the Lusitania situa-
ton presented the only obstacle likely
to influence the president against a
second trip. If he goes he will visit
the south and possibly some far west

The president got into communica-

VIScoUNT BRYCE CONDEMNS
POLICY OF REPRISALS s
Says Great Britain Should Stand for
Justice and Right.

London, Feb. 4, 1915 p. m.-Viscount
Bryce, former ambassador to the
United States, speaking at Bedford
college, London, tonight, condemned
the policy of reprisals against Ger
many, which since the last Zeppelin
raid has gained many advocates.
1--WE stand in this war for justice
and right Viscount Bryce said. I'VE
stand for humanity, and from that po-
sition we must not depart. I don't
myself believe for a moment that we
shall gain anything by departing from
1t.
'If it came to cruelty against cruel
ty, the enemy would always win. 1 see
no reason to think that any recourse to
inhuman practices that are shocking
to philosophy and morals, which the
enemy has adopted, would have the
slightest effect on him or promote in
any way our military success. We
would not gain, and we should GER
tainly lose, because there is nothing
that has won US more approval and
sympathy of all that is best in the neu-
trail nations than that we have cham
pioned the cause Of justice and human
ity. That is what has nerved our arm
and has created a unity never para1-
leled in any previous crisis in our his
tory"

nothing new has come through con-
cerning the situation on the Russian

duels still predominant along the Aus
tro-Italian line.
The Austrians are continuing their
advance into Albania with Durazzo,
their immediate objective and have
captured the town of Kurya, according
to the Austrian official communication.
It is probable that the town of Kroia,
some twenty miles northeast of Dur
azzo, is the place taken as available
maps show no such town as Kurya-
The Vienna report says also that the
Austrian vanguards have reached the
Ishni river, which flows to the south

Method of submarine warfare used by
the German naval authorities in sink
ing the liner, an acceptance of liabil-
ity for the loss of neutral lives, which
Berlin hopes will satisfy the United
States and still not bind Germany from
continuing the submarine campaign.
Within Pale of international Law.
German officials believe that their
previous promise to discontinue sink
ing unresisting merchantmen without
warning brings the submarine ques-
ton within the pale of international
law and that any inclusion of that
phase in the Lusitania agreement is
unnecessary and humiliating to the
imperial government.
Word "IIIegaI" Stumbling Block.
The word illegal in the draft the
German ambassador transmitted to his
government as meeting all the COnten-
tions of the United States, is taken to
have been regarded in Berlin as sus-
ceptible of application not to the Lusi-
tania case alone, but to the entire sub
marine campaign.
THAT is the only explanation which
officials here can find for the state
ment of DR.. Zimmerman, under-sec-
retary of foreign affairs. that ''the
United States suddenly made new de-
mands which it is impossible for us
to accept"
Position of U. S. Unchanged.
Secretary Lansing declared today
that the position of the United States
was unchanged and the German anS-
bassador knew of no demands which
were not embodied in the proposal he
sent to Berlin.
1t is known that the only change the
Berlin foreign office has made in the
agreement drawn by the secretary and
the ambassador is to substitute for
the word Illegal a phrase, which,
while assuming liability for the lives
of neutrals lost on the Lusitania, does
not admit of construction into prohi-
bition of submarine warfare.
The despatch the ambassador re-
ceived today and presented to the sec
retary was very brief and covered only
that one point. Otherwise the docu-
ment is unchanged as it was drawn to
meet all the contentious of the United
States.
l. After the ambassadors visit to the
state department today Secretary
Lansing declared "the situation is un-
changed"

Halifax, N s., Feb. A fire in the
