stopped at once the dumping OF ashes
in this section, which is to be beauti-
fled by a continuation OF Potomac

ways and the erecting OF the hand
some homes in this section. The
John r. Williams house at the inter
section OF Massachusetts avenue and
Rock Creek drive is fast nearing
completion, as is the home OF w. w
Wetmore at the intersection of Rock
Crook and Woodland drives. Clark
Waggaman is building for his own
home a handsome house facing Wood

The added activity in this forest.
crowned subdivision is fast proving

seekers of the city the many ad-
vantages not found in other parts OF

Copyright. United States, Canada, and In
ternatiOnal. 1911. by the Public Ledger Col
l do not intend to go in great de,
tail into the exchange of notes and
the public history of the submarine
controversy, as all that properly be,
longs to the history of the war
rather than to an account of MY per-
sol 81 experiences, and besides, as
VICTOR Hugo said, History is not
written with a microscope" All will
remember the answer Of Germany to
the American Lusitania note, which
answer, delivered on May 80, con-
tanned the charge that the Lus;.s mia
War armed All car, led Munitions
and had been used in the transport
Of Canadian troops. In the mean
time, however, the American snip
Nebraskan had been torpedoed off
the coast of ireland on the twenty
sixth and on May % Germany stated
that the American steamer Gulfight
had been torpedoed by mistake and
apologized for this act.
Note From Won JagoW.
Won Jagow gave me, about the same
time, a note requesting that American
vessels should be more plainly mark
ed and should illuminate their mark
ing at night.
The second American Lusitauia note
was published on July IL, 1915. and
Its delivery was coincident with the
resignation OF Mr.. Bryan as Secretary
of State. In this last note President
Wilson (for, OF course, 1t is an open
secret that he was the author Of these
notes) made the issue perfectly plain,
referring to the torpedoing Of enemy
passenger ships:
''Only her actual resistance to cap
ture or refusal to stop when ordered
to do so for the purpose of visit could
have afforded the commander Of the
submarine any justification for put
ting the lives OF those on board the
ship in jeopardy"
The German answer to this Ameri-
can Lusitania note was delivered on
July and again stated that 1--WE have
been obliged to adopt a submarine
war to meet the declared intentions OF
our enemies and the method of war
fare adopted by them in contravention
of international law"
Lives Against Munitions.
Again referring to the alleged fact
of the Lusitania's carrying munitions,
the German answer said That IL the
Lusitania had been spared, thousands
of cases of munitions would have
been sent to Germany's enemies and
thereby thousands OF German mothers
and children robbed of breadwinners."
The note contained, also. some of
Zimmermann's favorite proposals TO
the effect that German submarine
commanders would be instructed to
permit the passage of American
steamers marked in a special way,
and whose sailing had been notified in
advance, provided that the American
Government guaranteed that these
vessels did not carry contraband OF
