familiar with the position of high officials
said the note to be sent by the United

whether the vessel’s owners violated
American law by taking passengers on
ships carrying munitions of war—it was
said would be answered with the state
ment that an official investigation showed
the ship carried no guns, either mounted
or unmounted, and that it Ts not a viola
tion of federal statutes to carry small
arms and ammunition on prfssenger ships.
Reiterating that the Lusitania, therefore
was a peaceful merchantman entitled to
the right of visit and search and the
transfer of her passengers and crew t >
places of safety previous to any attemnt
to destroy any contraband of war aboard
ter in accordance with prize law. It
is believed the United States will insist
upon a disavowal of such acts, and u
guarantee that German submarine war
fare would be conducted in the future
along humane lines assuring Americans of
the safety of their lives and their shtys
on the high seas.
Ship Was Unarmed
Proposals on the part of Germany to
protract the argument with affidavits al
leged to be In the possession of the Ger
man embassy here to prove that the Lusi
tania carried guns will not be considered
in view of official knowledge here that
the ship was unarmed. Moreover, the
government will point out that during the
present discussion the American steamer
Nebraskan has been torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine.
The admission of the German admiralty,
announced today in a report from Am
bassador Gerard, that the commander of
the submarine which torpedoed the Gulf
light did "not notice the American flag '
on the Gulflight until after he had fired
the torpedo ift another circumstance to
which it was thought probable tke United
States would point as proof or dangers
to which American vessels are subjected
by the reckless methods of German sub
marine commanders.
The conference between the President
and Count Bernstorff Wednesday was tho
subject of much comment tonight. The
ambassador himself would not say what
his purpose was. hut from well-informed
sources it was learned that he asked fo•
the interview of his own initiative with
out instructions from his government and
that he wdshes to impress the President
with his desire to do everything possible
to avoid a rupture.
The ambassador has had much difficulty
in communication with his foreign office
as the cables are in possession of the
allies. Some of his friends state that his
efforts to induce the German government
to send a conciliatory answer to the
American note failed largely on that ac*
count.
There was a distinct disappointment
manifest at both the Austrian and Ger
man embassies here at the charaotef
of the German reply. Both ambassadors
w'ere understood to have endeavored tfl
obtain a response that would satisfy the
United States. There was some intima
tion that the American note of May hi
might have been interpreted in Berlin aa
meaning a demand for the cessation of
all submarine warfare against enemy
ships instead of a suggestion for th*
modification of submarine activity so that
noncombtants and neutrals would not ha
endangered. The attitude of the German
foreign office, it also was hinted, might
have been due to the domination of thH
German admiralty and war staffs, be*
cause diplomats are not as powerful now
as in times of peace.
Another suggestion made by well
informed diplomats was that the
C4crman government had become con
vinced of a fixed purpose of the Unitec
States to remain at peace in any even
tuality, and that this impression hac
foliowred from the Washington govern
ment’s passive attitude toward Mexico
There was report current in diplo
matic circles tonight that the ambassa
dor wished to elicit from the Presideni
a definite idea of what he would like
to have the German government do
end that Count Von Bernstorff, more
over, might seek to learn what the posi
lion of the United States w'ould be with
reference to foodstuffs and shipment*
of conditional contraband embargoed
by the allies If Germany acquiesced ir
the view's of the United States. It wai
predicted, too, that he probably woulc
setk to Impress upon the President th<
epportunity now presented for the Uni,
ted States to secure an adherence t<
international law by the allies as w el
us Germany and thereby by grauua
stages point the way to general peace.
Count Von Vernstorff is known it
have told friends that through nr
agreement on the freedom of the seas
one of the foundation stones for the
restoration of peace in Europe would
be laid.
would continue negotiations
From all quarters familiar with the
German point of view here, the desire
of Germany to continue the negotia
tions was apparent, the hope being thal
further exchanges would bring the twe
governments to closer understanding
In the event of a deadlock over fact*
In the Lusitania case, the suggestion
of reference of the dispute to The
Hague for arbitration has been men
tioned frequently in German circles, but
that such a course would be unaccept
able to the United States has been ac
cepted by some of the advisers of Pres
ident Wilson.
Ir. the event of another unfavorable
answer from Germany, the severance oi
diplomatic relations by the United
States is regarded by many as the
natural step. Beyond that officials and
diplomats have indulged in little specu
lation so far.

AMUSEMENTS.
At the Lyric
As wan predicted when the manage
ment of the Lyric theatre changed lie
policy from 50-ccnts Keith vaudeville
10 u "10-20-30-cent, three performauecs
daily" show, the "step backward" has
proven a signal failure, for with mis
week's performance the prettiest, cosi
est and safest theatre in the south will
close its doors on account of poor
patronage to remain closed until the
latter part of August, ^he promise was
made that with the change the high
standard of the acts heretofore pre
sented would be continued. This prom
ise has not been kept, for with one or
two exceptions mediocre bills have been
the rule. Of course, one should not
“kick," for what can a person expect
for 10-20-30 cents?
It reminds one of the negro that Pri
vate John Allen tells about. The darkey
bought a box of brown axle grease,
thinking it was a n^w brand of cheese.
He came back to the store later and
said; “Boss, ah ain't got no kick or
cornin' bein' as how yo' only charged
me 15 cents fur dat box an' trowed In
er bandffll er crackers beside, but, Hoes,
fore Gawd, dat’s de ransomest cheese
oh evah ct.” The patrons of the Lyric
can hardly kick on the price, but the
majority of the 10-20-30-cent shows
have certainly been "ransom."
The 'Mil this week is fair. To take
the acts as they are arranged on the
programme, the opening number, Han
lon and Clifton, In a hand balancing act,
lb the best of Its kind ever seen on a
local stage and very cleverly set. Vlnts
end Temple. In comedy, singing and
talking, get by fairly well. Lind relies
more on gorgeous gowns and stage set
tings than on real ability. He has a
stunning wardrobe and a wonderful
make-up.
A number that took well was that of
Miss Steffy Berko, billed as a Hunga
rian violinist, nsslsted by Jack Dale
at the piano. She Is an accomplished
musician and rendered her several se
lections with much grace and spirit.
Watson’s Farmyard circus Is good
and will doubtless please “all children
Horn 6 to 60." While the comedy is
doubtful, the animals are very well
trained and do some remarkable stunts.
Bathe’s service and animated cartoons
open and close the bill. C. H. M.
