Monday May, 3 1 . Washington Profound and pronounced dissatisfaction may pro perly express the sentiments of the administration upon receipt yester day of Germany's note regarding the sinking of the Lusitania. The reply fails to take up seriously any of the demands made by the American note, and there is deep disappointment at the temporiz ing, dialectical and argumentative tone of the document. Within forty-eight hours it is expected that the President will send a reply to Germany. In view of Germany's silence on all major issues general policy, international law and the rights of humanity raised by America, it is not felt that offers of reparation for so called unintentional attacks on American ships will carry" much weight.

In the spirit of this declaration, the facts surrounding the tor pedoing of the Gulflight and dropping bombs on the Gushing will be thoroughly investigated.
