' " ' ' I' LUSITANIA CASE j (Continued from Tage One.) i t.'n.n. 'n te voiced In a far more 'effective Hy without declaring war. The withdrawal of .m'salor Oerard without aetunl!y severing diplomatic rela tion hea ben suastpf In im offl rul quarters as one way of lndl atlna the feeling of the American government. Other officials Intimate thst a complete e (erance of diploma tie relations until complete reparation and apoloey Is made rrobahly would conform to the wishes of ! American public oiilnlnn. Before any sncli step Is reached, how rvtr. certain preliminary steps most likely will be followed. A soon aa Ambassador fleiard'a report from the Herman kov errm'mt on the facts of the sinking of lh. LuslWnia are received, it Is expected ihut a note mill he sent demanding full reparntlon under the warning of the United eitatea that Ocrmany would be hld to ,-a atrlct accountfnlilty" for the less if American vessels or lives." The ise of the American steamer Oulfllgl t, torpedoed without warning, the attack by Herman airmen on the Amrrl-an ship Cushlng'and the drowning of Ieon C. Thresher,' an American, on board the American steamer Falaba probably will be grouped In the general repreaentatlons. On Germany's reply will depend the nature of the next step by the United Htate. fcitra Session Possible. While White House officials would not deny specifically that an extra session of congress ' might be railed, they said tlier waa no Indication whatever that the preslnt ha any such Intention .at present. Cloe observer of the trend of official though believed the president first would take steps to express the horror of the American people over the killing of neu tral on the Lusltania. The step most Hlacussed wa the breaking off of diplo matic relation and the sending of repre entatlon recording the opinion of the American government on the Lusltania, Falaba, Oulfllght and Cuahlng Incidents. YUAN SHI KAI, presi dent of the republic of China, facing an immi nent ctisis with Japan. mm i Mis Jolivet. who wa among the sur vivor taken to Queenstown, said ah and Mr. Frohman were standing on dec aa the Lusltanur heeled over.

It waa sifter reach ing this decision that he had no fear of death, i , I : BERLIN VOICES REGRET TO U. S, i i VATUVES LOST (Continued from Page One.) of the war had led t the lose of so m.iny American live.: The phrase used were those of the-ambassador In writ- ton statement given out after hi call. The statement Said: "The Oermah ambaHdor called at the State department and ezpresed hi deso land to Join their relative while their rtgret that the events of the war had husband were at the front Not a single body waa brought In today from tho spot where the Lusltania dl ippearcd, but some .bodies may yet be round if a storm doe not scatter Jhem. There will not be so great a number picked up, however, aa wa the case In the North Atlantic after tho Titanic d la mer, for that veaael remained afloat so long all on deck bad ample time to care tu'.ly adjust lifebelt.

May 10 "The government of Italy today awaits the final reply of Austria," say a Rome dispatch to l-a Liberie. "In tho Interim the publication of Important decreea wl.lch. were sinned at the last meeting of the cabinet ha l-cen withheld. I W-srn from an excellent source that unles Austria answer ar rives before midnight tonight, or If the eiil I unfavorable, Italy will consider Ihe negotiations terminated." led to the toss of go many American Uves." . ... Whether the expression waa made on instruction from his government or hi own Initiative was not made clear by the amlwasador nor exolainad i Dryan. Inasmuch aa It waa the - flrat tatement of It kind alnca American Uvea were lost en the British steamer Falaba and the American steamer Oulf llght which also were torpedoed-and no specirie. mention was made of the Lua itanla Incident, the Impression prevailed in orncjai nuarters that the ambassador's statement was the usual broad exprea sloj which diplomatic representative are permitted to ms,ke when a disaster occurs to the cttisena of a friendly coun try. Will Have Little Effort. The action of the Oerman ambassador, nowaver. win i.av little effect on the policy to be pursued It waa said, unless the Utmao government makes formal apology for the loss of Americans on the Lusltania and peomlae reparation Juat what course the United State will follow still Is undecided. President wiiaon locked himself in his study la the White House during the forenoon and gave atrlct order not be be disturbed. For two days he haa consulted no one not even tht closest member of his of ficial family preferring to work out In solitude a policy be mav submit tomor row to ls adviacrs. He ttodtcd docti mrnts and papers on the law of the case today and was believed slso to be map ping out the speech he Is to deliver to nluht before the gathering In Philadelphia of several thousand of newly, naturalised rltlsen. A severance of diplomatic relation with Germany, it waa pointed out, would hava a seriou effect on the humantartan ork the United State has been con-1 ducting. The American staff In Belgian mlgnt not be rtrmltted by, Oermany to' remain and complications that might aesiroy me enecuvanee or the American relief might reault. These are considera tions which it is known the presK.ent is turnlug over In his mind. Wonders What the U. S Will Do About Murder of Citizens LONDON, May 10 "Our enemle have reached a degree of Infamy, culminating in the destruction of the Lusltania, which It la simply hopele to attempt to de scribe," said Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition In the House of Com man, In a speech today. Mr. Bonar Law's remarks'Were delivered on the oc casion of the presentation of a medal to Captain .Bell of the British steamship Thordis, which rammed a German sub marine off Beachey Head In February. "This la not an act of warfare." Mr. Bonar Law continued. "It Is simply mur der most foul, most unnatural." Haying that up to the present no "ef fective protest" had been made by any neutral country, he added: i "What will happen now? The great proud natlon-rthe United Btate 1 the neutral country most closely affected by this latest outrage. The simple fact la that cttixens of that great country have been barbarously murdered. It is not for me to say what their action ought to be, but I feel sure the United Statea will t guided not merely by the momentary in terests of the country, but by feelings aa to what I due to a gsat nation among other nation of the world." , Mr. Bonar Law aald that If tha link ing of the lAultanta had the effect he believed it would upon the feeling, not only of British soldier, but of the whole nation, "then we can thank the Germans for tha last instance of their barbarous method."

May 10,-Tho flrat lord of the admiralty, Vlnton Fpencer Churchill, stated in the House of Common this afternoon that Captain Turner of the Lusltania had acknowledged receipt of massagea from the admiralty giving him warning and directions for the course he waa to take.. ' "The admiralty had general knowledge of the German warning issued In America," Mr. Churchill declared, "atid from that knowledge and "Other Informa tion concerning submarine movements it sept warnings to the Lusttian and direc tions aa to it' course. I think, however, It Is not right to go Into that matter In detail, as It Is going to be a subject of Inquiry and It might appear that I was endeavoring to throw blame' on the cap tain of the Lusltiant. In a matter whit f will be a subject of full Investigation.'' ' Continuing. Mr. Churchill aald this In vestigation would be conducted by Lord Mersey, assisted by skilled assessor, and that, it would be opened without avoid able delay. Mr. Churchill's remarks were drawn by questions from Lord Charle Bereaford and other, asking for detail aa to what apeed the Lusltania waa mak ing when It .was torpedoed; whether there was a patrol boat in that locality; whether all points where vessels arrive and depart are now adequately patrolled; what provision 'were made In the case of the Lusltania In view of the warning Issued, In America: whether Mr. Churchill was aware that previously to last Friday German aubmarlnee had for some time been actively at work on the south coast of Ireland; whether he was aware that th admiralty had provided torpedo boats and other naval vessels to meet on the south coast of Ireland steamers carrying horses from the United States on govern ment account to convoy them to Liver pool, and, finally, what arrangements, if any, were made to convoy and protect the Lusitania. t Mr. Churchill, replying "to further ques tions, spoke as .follow : '"The ihocklns' exception of "the Lu1 tanla ahould not divert the attention of the House of Common and the country from tho fact that Great Britain's entire seaport trade has been carried on without appreciative loss. The general principle regarding the providing of an escort Is, that merchant traffic must' look after itself, subject to the general arrange ments of the admiralty, and there is no reason to suppose that thia principle is not entirely successful." - V 5k i Auto Breaks Pole With Live Wires; Two Burn to Death i McAdoo Asks that Suit Be Dismissed WASHINGTON.
