Railroads ~Must Give Vp Their Steamships After December 1 Ts[e?.t Declares the Interstate Com merce Commission in a Sweeping Decision. THE ROUTE INDEPENDENT Of Railroad Control is Thus Es tablished from New York to Duituth. csv asiociotco WASHINGTON, May 15.?In one of the most far reaching: decisions in recent years the Interstate Com- j merce Commission today decided that the railroads owning and operating: I steamships on the Great Lakes must give them up after December 1. The principal eastern trunk lines which carry the great volume of freight traffic between the Atlantic seaboard and the "West are affected and the decision may possibly alter the trade routes over which are moved millions of tons to the West, rich stores of raw materials, principally grain and ores to the East and mil lions of tons of manufactured prod ucts to the West and Northwest. Independent Water Route. In effect the decision establishes a water route independent of railway control from New York to Duulth and other westernmost points on Lake Superior and to Chicago and other points on Lake Michigan through a chain of waterways. The Hudson river. Erie canal, the Great Lakes and connecting rivers. The commission -points out that the Great Lakes for many years dominat ed by the railroad fleets, will again be opened to independent shipping and that the Erie canal again has the-op portunity of becoming a main artery of traffic. Divorcement Under the Panama canal law rail road ownership of competing water lines is forbidden unless the Inter state Commerce Commission holds that public convenience and necessity are served thereby. The commission finds to the contrary that: "the inter ests of the shipping public will be conserved, and those'of the boat lines will be bettered by the divorcement."* Under the law of Pennsylvania.

REPLY MAY BE DELAYED All is Conjecture as to the Next Developments in Connection With Tragedy. . C. .May lo-? Word tonight ? that Ambassador Gerrard had read and presented to Herr von Jagovr. minister lor for eign affairs of the imperial German government, the American note sent Thursday as a consequence ot the Lusitania tragedy and other occur rences in the war zone, removed an anxiety here over the delay in trans mission and awakened intense inter est in the nature of Germany's repiy. In view of telegraphic and cable ' delays and the probable necessity for conferences between the foreign minister with the imperial chancellor, von Bethmann Hollweg, and douot less Emperor William himself. It would not be surprising if the re sponse did not arrive for another eight days. It was believed possible, however, that Ambassador Gerard might report earlier on the manner in which the American note was re ceived by the government and the semi-official press Submarine Attacks May Stop. In the interim confidence prevails among high officials and is shared in German official quarters that there will be no submarine attacks on pas senger vessels while the question at issue was being resolved. The intimation which came in press dispatches today indirectly from Ber lin to the effect that Germany would willingly submit the question raised by the American note to arbitration was received* with much interest and it was indicated that if there was a suspension, of submarine warfare on merchant -ships- while th& discussion was in progress the plan might be given serious consideration, by - tne American government. Arbitration is Talked. Arbitration also had been talked of here before today's press dis patches arrived. Some German of ficials had intimated that al though without advices from Ber lin they were confident from previous knowledge of the desire of the Ger man government to remain frlendly with the United that arbitration would be welcomed. The difficulty of constituting a court of arbitration at this time when most of the great powers whose participation might bo desired are at war was pointed out by some diplomats however as mak ing the plan impracticable That some way would be found to reach an amicable settlement be tween the United States and Ger man-i- was the growing conviction of manv officials and diplomats today. A variety of suggestions were heard May Refuse Clearance. One which was given serious thought, was a proposal to refuse clearance to belligerent ships carrj in?* munitions of war or absolute con fidence if they also carried passen gers. This would involve no embar? go but a separation of passenger and contraband traffic The United States stands firmly on the legal rights of its citizens. Traveling on the seas and believes its position is indisputable. Germanv. however, holds that this bas become a debatable question on account of changed conditions and If the two classes of ocean going traffic were separated, submarines would direct their attention to contraband ships alone. May Not Arm Morcliantmen. Another sugestion which was wide ly discussed by officials was the pos sible announcement by the allies that none of their merchant ships would be armed hereafter. Merchant ships of any nationality according to a ' ruling from the state department ! early in the war have a right to 'carry guns not larger than six inch caliber "for defensive purposes only. ' But. bv an informal arrangement with the British government- clear ance has been refused British ships iat American ports unless they dis posed of their guns.
