Not Responsible for Story of Post.
script to the Lusitania Note
to Germany.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Nov. l.
Senator Lodge, speaking here last
night, made the following statement:
"The president Of the U. S. has
denied that there was any postscript
to the Lusitauia note and We are all
bound, of course, to accept the presi-
dents denial just as he makes it,
said the senator. Il need hardly say
that l would not willingly bring an
unfounded charge against anyone,
high or low, and IL misled into doing
so l should be quick to retract IT..
The president makes one mistake.
The statement which he character
ICES as untrue, that there was such
postscript, was not mine, but was
made by Mr.. Breckenridge. former
assistant secretary of war, according
to the evidence Of two independent
witnesses, both gentlemen of high
character, responsibility and veracity,
and Mr.. Breckenridge was in posi-
ton to know if as he is reported to
have said, he has seen the postscript
Bearing in mind the public and
hitherto uncontroverted fact that Mr..
Bryan had informed the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador that the strict ac-
countability note of May Is meant
nothing, which fact was at once
cabled by the ambassador to Berlin,
it seemed to me that Mr.. Brecken-
ridges statement as testified TO by
two independents ought properly to
be laid before the public"
