Reparation Demanded From Germany
In President Wilsons' Note Strong
Message Drafted.
Uncle Sam Tells Kaiser's Government
That He Won't Stand For Any
More Lusitania Incidents
Washington. The United States, in
Its note sent to Germany, demands
a guarantee that there will be no fur
ther submarine attacks on merchant
eliips carrying non-combatants.
The principal points in the note are
EUbstanlialy as follows:
1. The United States government
calls attention lo the various incidents
In the war zone proclaimed by Ger
many around the liritish Isles, the
sinking of the liritish liner Falaba,
with the loss of Leon ('. Thresher, an
American; the attack by German air
men on the American steamer Oust
ing, the torpedoing without warning
of the American steamer GulCliglit,
and finally the torpedoing without
warning of t lie Lusitania wiili its loss
of more than a thousand lives of non
Combaiams, among them moie than
one hundred Americans,
2. These acts are declared to be in
defensible under iniernaiional law.
The United States points out that it
liever admitted Germany's right to do
(hem, and warned the imperial gov
ernment that it would be held to a
"strict accountability" for attacks on
American vessels or lives. A strict
account ing, therefore, is now asked
from Germany.
3. The usual financial reparation will
be sought, although Germany is in ef
fect reminded that no reparation can
restore the lives of those sacrificed in
the sinking of the Lusitania and other
fillips.
4. Kxpressions of regret may com
ply with the legal precedents, but they
hre valueless unless accompanied by
h cessation of the practices endanger
ing lives of non-combatants.
5. The right of neutral's to travel
finy point of the high seas on neutral
or belligerent merchantmen is as
serted. 6. In the name of humanity and in
ternational law the United States de
mands a guarantee that these rights
will be respected, and that there be no
repetition of the attacks on merchant
men carrying non-combatants.

American pnmic wrtnuut officially
communicating them to the United
States government is commented on
in connection with the German em
bassy's printed advertisements before
the sailing of the Lusitania, but, irre
spective of the failure to advise the
American government of Germany's
purpose, the point is made that no
tice of an intention to do an unlawful
act neither justifies nor legalizes it.
8. The suggestion is conveyed that
the German government, of course,
could not have intended td destroy in
nocent lives, and that consequently
the German submarine commanders
must have misunderstood their in
structions 9. In conclusion Germany's atten
tion is called to the earnestness of the
government and people of the United
States in this situation. It is made
plain that the United States will leave
nothing undone either in diplomatic
representations or other action to ob
tain a compliance by Germany to the
requests made.
Guarantee Demanded By President
That Lusitania Horror Will
Not Be Repeated
Washington. President Wilson had
virtualy decided on the first step In
the policy which the United States
government will pursue as a result
of the sinking of the liritish liner
Lusitania with the loss of more than
a hundred American lives. The pres
ident will, act promptly. A draft of a
communication to be sent to Germany
was submitted to the cabinet and ap
proved unanimously. While no offi
cial announcement was made, it was
learned that the United States would
present and insist upon an explana
tion of the series of incidents which
have occurred since the proclamation
of a war zone around the British isles,
the sinking of the Falaba causing the
death of Leon C. Thresher, an Ameri
can citizen; the attack by German air
men on the American steamer Gush
ing, the torpedoing of the American
steamer Gulflight and finally the de
struction without warning of the Lusi
tania with a toll of more than a thou
sand lives. In what are described by
fhose "thmilrar with trie "document, as
firm and unmistakable terms, the
president voices the intense feeling
of the United States over these" hap
penings, and in the name of interna
tional law demands an adherence by
Germany to the established rules of
maritime warfare.
Zeppelin Aerial Rafd
Ramsgate, England. Some forty
bombs were dropped in an air raid
here. So far as ascertained three per
sons were injured. The aircraft was a
Zeppelin and in addition to dropping
bombs here it also flew over Margate.
WIRE FLASHES.
Son Of Maxim Gorky Loses Arm
Alexander Gorky, son of Maxim Gor
ky, the Russian writer, was wounded
while serving with the French army,
and, as a result, his right arm has
been amputated at the American hos
pital at Neuilly.
Two Companion Bodies Discovered
Professor Barnard of the Yerkes
observatory at Williams Bay, Wis.,
has discovered two companion bodies
near Bellish's comet, according to an
official announcement received at the
Harvard observatory. One of the bod
ies, observed on May 12, was conspic
uous and had a distance from the
comet of 2S seconds, and a position
angle of 285 degrees. The other body
was faint and occupied an intermedi
ate position in the same line.
Sebastian Woman Given Freedom
Charles E. Sebastian, suspended
chief of police, who won the mayoral
ty nomination, and Mrs. Lillie Pratt
were acquitted at Los Angeles, Cal.,
of the charge of contributing to the
delinquency of Edith Serkin, Mrs.
Pratt's ward and half-sister. Sensa
tional charges made against them
were declared by the defense to be
part of a plot against Sebastian, who
was nominated for mayor while the
trial was in progress.
Zapata Leaves Mexico City
Vera Cruz dispatches say the Za
pata forces are being withdrawn from
Mexico City and that the capital is be
ing left with practically no garrison.
Clews Praises Wilson's Policy
Henry Clews, speaking at the
world court congress at Cleveland
praised President Wilson's efforts for
peace. "While yielding to none in my
life-long devotion to the principles of
the Republican party," he said, "due
credit must be given the present ad
ministration for its accomplishments
for the cause of peace. President
Wilson has done noble work."
Coal Famine In Spain
Spain is so much concerned over
coal security that the cabinet is will
ing to guarantee the payment of or
ders placed in the United States by
opening a credit in New York of al
least 5200.000. Something like a coal
famine exists throughout Spain
Ambassador Willard and American
Commercial Attache Veditz had an
audience with King Alfonso concern
ing transport duties, and they convinc
ed him that it was unjust to tax Eng
lish coals 10 cents a ton transport
dues and American coal 40 cents a
tou.
Consider's Austria's Last Proposal
Home. A meeting of the council of
ministers, held to discuss the situa
tion in Italy and Austria, lasted more
than two hours. At its conclusion no
coinimmication was issued, but it is
believed a decision was reached for
the cabinet to go before parliament
and submit the existing situation to
that body. It is stated that the cabinet
considered the last definite proposal
of Austria concerning the territorial
confessions demanded by the Italian
government in its recent ultimatum
to Austria.
Warning "Ads" Stopped
Washington. The German embassy
notified newspapers throughout the
United States to discontinue publica
tion of its advertisement warning
Americans against trans-Atlantic
travel on ships of the allies. Tele
grams anil letters to the newspapers
gave no reason for discontinuing the
advertisements, but at the embassy
it was declared they had been run
sut';U'icntly long. This is taken to be
an outgrowth of the Lusitania inci
dent off the English coast, when many
American lives were lost.

Germany Will
Probably Bargain
Authorities Assert Kaiser Will Agree To
Stop Submarine Warfare In Exchange
For American Foodstuffs
NO COMPROMISE FOR U. S.
Washington Diplomats Believe There
Will Be No Repetition Of
Lusitania Horror
Washington. Without word from
Ambassador Gerard as to Germany's
attitude toward the recent American
note, official Washington attached
much significance to intimations in
diplomatic quarters here friendly to
Germany that the reply might contain
an offer to suspend attacks without
warning on merchant ships if the
United States would renew its infor
mal proposals for unrestricted pass
age of foodstuffs to German civilians.
Well informed European diplomats
asserted that Germany most certainly
would offer to settle the questions at
issue by arbitration or diplomacy
with nn agreement to abandon the
submarine warfare while the discus
sion was in progress.
Officials have been reticent in dis
cussing the idea of arbitration or a
proposal with reference to foodstuffs,
but it is indicated that the situation
has progressed to the point where the
United States would not be likely to
be satisfied with any conditional ac
quiescence in the American position.
It was intimated, however, that if Ger
many accepted the American point of
view, the natural tendency of the
United States, of its own initiative,
would be strongly to press its conten
tion on the right to ship foodstuffs to
Germany.

Mrs. A. L. Luckie, East Rochester,

CROSSED THE RUBICON
Italy Believed To Have Cast Die To
Enter European Conflict On
Side Of Allies
London. The king of Italy has re
fused to accept the resignation of
Signor Salandra, and the premier and
whole war cabinet retain office. This,
it is confidently believed here, fore
shadows the almost immediate en
trance of Italy into the circle of bel
ligerents on the side of the allies.
Action, however, may be delayed un
til the meeting of the chamber of dep
uties when the premier will announce
his policy and will receive the sup
port of the majority of the deputies.
Should the expected action of Italy
materialize, the allies will be in a
better position than ever to launch
their big offensive movement against
Austria and Germany.
Popular excitement in Italy aroused
by the resignation of Salandra has
subsided in a large measure, and the
people are awaiting decisive action.
Italy is reported to have 1,700,000 sol
diers ready for war, if war should
come. There are reports of clashes be
tween Austrian and Italian troops on
the frontier.
Whooping Cough.
"About a year ago my three boys
had whooping cough and I found
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the on
ly one that would relieve their cough
ing and whooping spells, I contin
ued this treatment and was surprised
to find that it cured the disease in a
verv short time," writes Mrs. Archie
Dalrymple, Crooksville, Ohio. For
