Washington, July 4. Officials he;
commenting on the report that the Gi

there is a delay it will be due to t,

l'p to tnis time the attitude of bo
the German and American governmen
has been that undersea boats could n
by th-ir very nature exercise the rig'

The first note to Germany on tl
sinking of the Lusitania made the a
titud? of the United States on th
point very clear. The passage referr?
t ? read:
"The objection to their < Germany'!
present method of attack against *?l
trade of their memies lies in the pra.
t.cal impossibility of employing sul
marines in the destruction of con
merce without disregarding those rul?
of fairness, reason, justice and humar
ity which all modern opinion regard
as imperative. It is practically impoi
Bible for the officer* of a submarine t
?riait a merchantman at sea and exarr
in? her paper? and cargo."
In view of the experience of the Ai
menian, Germany may undertake t
show this government that it was mit
taken in this assumption and offer t
comply with the demand of the Unite
States that Germany conform to estab
lished practice when attacking mer
chantmen and passenger ships.
Should Germany make such use o
the case of the Armenian in refutatio
of the charge that submarines canno
comply with international law with re
spect to visit and search, )t is though
vould ind)cate an abandonment o
the practice of torpedoing ships with
out warning. This would amount al
most to a concession of the whol
American contention and would mak
any such attacks as that on the Lusi

HOLT REVEALS PLAN TO HOLD MORGAN
FAMILY AS ARMS EMBARGO HOSTAGE!
?v the following letter to hi* father-in-law, Frank Holt retyoJ
his real plan in going to the Morgan home. It was to texts and hol
Mrs. Morgan and her children a* hostages to jure* Mr. Morgan to i>
fluenee an arms embargo:
Mine?la. July 4.
My dear Father Sensabaugh; I heard last night that you had tele
graphed for particulars, but as I-had already written and t?l?graphe*
Leona and as the paoers have given your interview. I did not thin!
you needed any more particulars. The papers must have had plent;
of them.
How terrible it all looks now and how different from my plans
What can I say to console you and the family?
It is too much all at once. My heart and brain are in such agon}
that words cannot express. I fear you wish to come here, but I hopi
that you will not do that. I am well taker, cire of, and the gran.! jur}
cannot meet until September. ? am held without bail plea withou
guilty. So I just wait, though I wish that death might come to em;
it all at once. Life under these conditions is unspeakably horrible.
Yet I thinl: I did right; only my plans did not come out as 1
intended.
I went to the Morgan horre in order to force him to use his great
influence to stop the shipment of explosives. That is why I took some
explosives with me, in order to be able to demonstrate to him, ad
oculis, what the use of machines of murder means, but I did not wish
to hurt any one. I wanted him to be in the same danger (him and
his family) t.nat we are imposing on Europe.
I wanted to send him out to the manufacturers and men of in?
fluence to plead with them tor real American neutrality, while I held
his wife and dear children in some upper room of the house. ? found
the three children in the parlour and asked them to come upstairs
with me. No objection. I walked ahead. 7"/";' was my mistake.
If I had been behind them all might have been different now.
When I reached the top of the stairs Mrs. Morgan came screaming
toward me and Mr Morgan behind her. Now, instead of stopping
and giving me a chance, all went off in an explosion of excitement.
No chance for explanations. Mr. Morgan jumped at me, although I
helo the revolver in each hand. This physical courage overruled my
moral courage. We rolled on the hall floor. I tried to shoot in the
air, but some one grabbed my hand and pressed it down. At least.
that is the only reason for Mr. Morgan being hurt.
Of course, a'l was over, and I was unconscious for a while. Soon
I learned to my sorrow that Mr. M. was hurt. He was the very last
i ne that should hav?. been hurt; he was to go out and do the work I
cculd rot do.
The slaughter mi'ft be stopped, and we must stop helping it on.
The people must rise to the realization of their best interests and de?
mand the embargo op arms. Let us hope that it will come soon. If
not, our children will have ?o suffer the consequences, if not even our
own generation.
I have trie'' to do my duty. Now the rest of the country must
do theirs. God bless you all. I am in His hands. So don't worry
about me. With much love. Aff.y, FRANK.

Warning to Kaiser.
Later last evening another '.
was fourni in Holt's efft-cts in Glen
Cove. This wa- addresced b
German Kaiser, who he advise?! not
to be a land grabber or mil it .
, In it he informed the Kaiser that
if not already known to him, tho
writer soon would be.
Mr. Morgan was resting con I
ably yesterday afternoon, so com-/
fortably that reports from the house'
said he had \icc-n permitted o
the big, black cigars of which ne,
like his father, is fond. Th
velopment of an X ray picture
showed that the bullet which en?
tered the abdominal wall ha?l not
pierced the peritoneum, an?! that
neither missile had injured any
bone, thus demonstrating that, as
stated in The Tri:>une yesterday,
his chief danger is that the bullets
may have infected the woun Is.
The p'.atea show ?hit on? tf th?
bullets, atriking near ?he hip, went
downward and ou?, St tne back of the
thigh. The other, st.ikmg n?-.r the
navel, but somewhat lower and to the
right, struck a band of mus-le, and
was deflected to the right. It tra?
versed diwnward a'moat to the hip
before it stopped.

The course of the bullets would
tend to indicate that I the
