presented the statement today to the
state department. The official text has
not yet reached the embassy because
of difficulties of wireless communica
tion. The message follows:
"Please communicate the following
to the state department.
"The German government desires to
express its deepest sympathy because
of the loss of lives on board the Lwl
tania. The responsibility rests, ' ow
ever, with the British government,
which through its plan of starving the
civilian population of Germany, has
forced Germany to resort to retaliatory
measures.
"UrllUb Vnuel Armed."
"In spite of the German offer to stop
the submarine war in case the starva
tion plan was given up, British mer
chant vessels are being generally armed
with guns and have repeatedly tried
to ram submarines, so that a previous
search was impossible.
"They cannot, therefore, be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A recent
declaration made to the British parlia
ment by the parliamentary secretary in
answer to a question by lord Charles
-Beresford said that at the present time
practically all British merchant vessels
were armed with hand grenades.
"LuHllania Carried Munitions."
"Besides. It has been openly admitted
by the English press that the Lusitania
on previous voyages repeatedly carried
large quantities or war material.

dent Wilson said today he would make
a decision on the policy to be followed '
in the Lusitania cae as soon as ne
had all the elements in mind. For
"On the present voyage the Lusitania
carried 5400 cases of ammunition,
while the rest of the cargo also con
sisted chiefly of contrabrand.
"If England, after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk and thus light heartedly
assumed responsibility for the human
life on board a steamer, which owing
to Its armament and cargo was liable
to destruction, the German government
in sr'' of its heartfelt sympathy for
the loss of American lives, cannot but
regret that Americans feel more in
clined to fust English i romlses rather
than to pay attention to the warnings
from the German side.

lty first" It was the nrnlJml' first
public appearance since the torpedoing
of the Lusitania. The demonstration
of patriotism was considered note
worthy. Crowd Wave Flags.
When the president reached conven
tion hall be was escorted to a seat by
mayor Rudolph Blankenburg. He found
secretaries Wilson and Daniels on the
platform. The half was densely packed.
Little American flags were held by
thousands who stood and waved and
cheered as the president entered. The
hall was decorated profusely with red,
white and blue.
"Let us unite in singing America."
were the words spoken with a distinct
German accent, with which mayor
Blankenburg opened the meeting. The
president stood with the crowd and
Joined In the singing.
Mayor, Once German. Speaks.
Mayor Blankenburg called attention
to the fact that like the other aliens,
he had "come from foreign shores to
find in the United States a home." He
said that a "great responsibility" went
with taking out citizenship in the Unit
ed States, adding that new citizens
must do more than swear allegiance to
their adopted country. Let me beseech
you." ne added. "to,be Americans first,
last and all the time, no matter what
may happen In the world at large
Secretary WUon Talks.
When the mayor concluded he was
warmly applauded. He then introduced
United States Judge Joseph Buffington
and secretary Wilson, of the department
of labor.
While secretary Wilson was speak
ing a baby child of a new citizen be
gan crying and the president smiled.
Those who have taken the oath of
allegiance to the United States can
have no dual allegiance. Like you. Mr.
mayor, and the guests here tonight, I
am one of those who was born abroad
and has sworn allegiance to the Unit
ed States."
1VaBl ton-Lincoln Pictures Shown.
Prior to the president's address,
moving: pictures showing leading
events In the lives of presidents Wash
ington and Lincoln were thrown on a
screen.
V. S. Places Humanity First.
President Wilson spoke by implica
tion but his hearers Interpreted his
remarks as meaning that while the
United States would remain at peace, it
woum see:
injustice to mankind of the
last Friday.
"America," said the president, "must
have the consciousness that on all
sides it touches elbows and touches
heart with all nations of mankind. The
example of America must be a special
example and must be an example not
merely of peace, because It will not
fight, because peace Is a healing and
elevating influence of the world and
strife is not.
"There is such a thing as a man be
ing too proud t6 fight. There is such
a thing as being so right that it does
not need to convince others by force
that it is right"
The president carried forward the
idea of the welding of foreign blood in
the makeup of America by pointing out
me u-ue.goai or rignt American citi
zenship to be a loyalty not to the coun
try of one's birth, but to the land of
one's adoption.
Breaking Former Ties.
"While you bring." he said, "all coun
tries with you, you come with a pur
pose of leaving all other countries be
hind you bringing what Is best of
their spirft. but not looking over your
snouiaer or seeKing to perpetuate what
you leave in them. I wbuld not cer
tainly be one who would suggest that
a man cease to love the place of his or
igin. It is one thing to ldve the place
where you were born, and another to
dedicate yourself to the place where
you go. You can't be an American if
yon think of yourself in groups. Amer
ica does not consist of groups. A man
who considers himself as belonging to
a national group is not yet an Amer
ican. -
"My advice to you Is to think first
not only of America, but to think first
of humanity. You do not love humani
ty if you seek to divide humanity In
Jealous camps."
Some of the passages In his speech
which the crowd applauded most loud
ly were these:
' I am sorry for the man who seeks
to make capital out of the passions of
his fellow man. He has lost the touch
and ideal of America, for America was ,
created to unite mankind by the pas-
sions that lift and unite and not,bv '
the passions that separate and debase '
mankind. '
"The man who seeks to divide man I
from man, group from group, interest i
from interest in the United States, is
striking at its very heart
"I was born in America. You dreamed !
of what America was to be, and I hope I
you brought dreams with you. No man
who does not see visions will ever re- !
alixe any high hopes or undertake any I
great enterprise.
Feels Renewal of Spirit
In his perforation the president '
aroused much enthusiasm when he said j
he felt that he ought not be away from ;
Washington, and after coming he found ,
tne Eatberlng renewed his spirits "as
an American."
In Washington." he said, "men tell
you so many things eTery day that are
pursue, and tnat be Knew tne country
expected him to "act with deliberation
as well as with firmness." It was sug
gested the president might communi
cate directly with the German em
peror. While his Philadelphia -udlence
Monday night waj impressed with the
belief that the president was referring
specifically to the Lusitania tragedy,
tne president indicated today that he
meant his speech to cover the entire
subject of foreign relations as well as
the subject of domestic solidarity with
reference to the aliens.
Cabinet Conference Resumeb.
At the usual hour the caOinet began
arriving for the first conference with
the president since last Friday.
Chairman Stone of the senate foreign
relations committee discussed the Lusi
tania disaster with the president before
the cabinet meeting began and later
said he had no eroectation that an I
extra session of congress would be I
called.
Senator Stone declared he favored
passage of the government purchase
bill, which failed in the last congress.
Such a step, he said, would provide
American ship to carry American pas
sengers and goods. He added that he
took It for granted that the United
States would find means to protect Its
own ships.
Opposes Severing Relations.
Senator La Follette, another white
house caller, today opposed the sug
gestion that diplomatic relations with
Germany be broken off.
The Philadelphia speech was Inter
preted by official Washington as
meaning that whatever course is pur
sued the United States probably would
endeavor to serve the cause of human
ity Dy appealing to Germany to end
he- submarine warfare against un
armed merchant ships carrying non
combatants. Bryan Won't Tnllg.
The cabinet was in session nearly
three hours, the longest meeting held
in several months. Jone of the mem
bers would deny that the Lusitania
incident had been discussed, but all re
fused to comment
Secretary of state Bryan, pressed
with questions, declared
"We must not discuss what occurs
at cabinet meetings."
Daniels 1. silent
Secretary of the navy Daniels, asked
whether the Atlantic fleet would pass
through the Panama canal in July in
accordance with previously announced
plans, replied:
"I cannot discuss that or any other
question now."
Mr. Daniels was asked whether the
review of the Atlantic fleet planned
for next week is .' v,rir ..i.i i
held. Monday in Philadelphia he de
nied that plans for the review wocld
be changed. Today he answered the
question by replying:
"I cannot discuss that"
