Deny U:Boat Destruction
Of Hospital Vessel.


Amsterdam. July 3.-The sinking Of
the British hospital ship Llandovery
Castle, announced by the British ad-
miraity to have been sent to the bot
tom by an enemy submarine Off the
Irish coast on June 81 with the prob
able loss of more than 200 lives. was
due to her striking a British mine. In
all probability, says semi Official
note from Berlin received here today.
Like all similar assertions of the
British admiralty" the note reads,
"the assertion In this case that n Ger
man submarine was responsible for
the fate Of the Llandovery Castle Is

from the later news that no one on
board the steamer observed a U-boat
or torpedo. In all probability the
cause of the loss will be found to be
attributable to n British mine"

WHAT CAN HE SAY?

Before the German Reichstag, tomorrow, the I'M
perial Chancellor will ANSWER the recent address OF
President Wilson defining the aims of tie United
States The forthcoming speech OF the imperial magnate
will of course be considered reply by his imperial mas
ter and all of Prussian junkerdom That goes without
sayiag But what he say that will be accepted by
the people of any self respecting nation that has not gone
war mad blinded by inordinate lust for conquest?
Even the people of such nation, who have to pay IN
blood and treasure the frghtfu cost of war; if they have
been informed Alright of the aims OF America out
lined in the presidential declaration ought not be de-
ced by the specous utterances to which the Relchsta
will listen tomorrow For Mr. Wilson has presented
only that which will be just and fair to all nations and to
ask anything else would be chauvnistc in high degree
The President has asked simply that Germany make
restitution of the territories she has wrenched from her
neghhors and pay the damage done, agreeing to pro-
gram that will remove the chief provocation for war"
The gs of the demand in the address Of Mr. Wilson runs
aS follows:
Diplomacy conducted always frankly and in public
view.
Absolute freedom of the seas, except as they may be
closed by international action.
Removal of economic barrier.
Reduction of national ornaments to the lowest point
consistent with domestic safety.
free adjustment of all colonial claims
The evacuation Of all Russian territory and AM
arlicabe settlement of the existing differences.
The evacuation and restoration Of Belgium.
Restore the invaded portion of France, including
Asace-Lorrane
Readjustment of the Italian frontier
Autonomy for the peoples of Austria Hungary.
Evacuation of Rumana, Serbia and Montenegro
Guaranteed security for the various nationalitiesI
under Turkish rule.
An independent Polish state with free access to the
The formation of association of nations for the
purpose of affordng mutual guarantees of political indie
pendence and territorial integrity to great and small
states alike.
And, as the president apty stated "for such ar
rangements and covenants willing to fight and to
continue fighting until they achieved"
The presidential address is of the ablest if not
the first in point of ability of the state papers of Mr.
Wilson, and it is additional proof of his remarkable
capacity OF presenting the thought of the Amer
can people No other President except Lincoln has pre-
sented that faculty in SO marked degree.
But there is one thing the President omitted from
The daily morning oasis., 1918-01-13

his remarkably luminous uterance that should have been
incorporated therein That is declaration for final MIS-
position of the Holy Land The people of America, with
the people of all Christendom will never consent to re-
turn of the land whence emanated the Christian religion
to the rule and domination Of 'the unspeakabe Turk"
There is doubt whether the people Of Germany would
consent.
Possibly the criticism here voiced may be met by
security for the various nationates under Turkish
rule That is of itself, omnibus declaration which
will give protection to The people Of Armenia Rumelia
can be stretched to the Jewish population of
Palestine And in considering that as well as the rest
of Mr. Wilson's declarations when the world is told that
incredulous ask naturally: What can he. say
