WILSON INSISTS ON DEMANDS ORIGINAL NOTE
BRYAN WANTS THE PUBLIC TO NEAR HIS STORY
AUSTRIANS WIN FIRST BIG ITALIAN BATTLE
SECOND NOTE RENEWS ORIGINAL
DEMANDS IN VIGOROUS LANGUAGE
WILSON INSISTS ON DEMANDS
OF ORIGINAL NOTE TO GERMANY
WASHINGTON, June 11.--The pub
lication of the President’s repl.v to the
German note reveals that while more
insistant it nevertheless deviates lull
little from the text of thq Hrst note
sent to the Merlin government. The
second note renews the original de
mands in vigorous language and the
strength of expression lias in no case
been sacrificed to the needs of diplo
matic forms. In part tlie note insists
that whatever lie the contention of the
Imperial German government regard
ing the carriage of contraband of war
on board the Lusitania or regarding
the explanation as to the destruction
of that vessel being not the work of
submarines but of the war material
curried in the cargo, such contentions
are beside the question and as far as
tlie desires of the American govern
ment are concerned are entirely irre
levant. It is pointed out that the Ger
man government is called into ques
tion as to llie legality of tlie methods
employed by the German naval au
thorities in sinking other vessels and
that the German answer does not in
dicate either tlie reason or the future
intentions of Gorman> toward the com
merce of neutral nations which formed
the substance of the American de
mands. The note further insists that
whatever may have been the reasons
for the German action in regard to the
Lusitania, tlie German government, in
the view of the United States, while
holding to tin' doubtful contention that
'the acts of lirilain justified stteli ae
lion, was far from conforming lo th*
spirit of international law anil i lie
rights of neutral nations.
The note also reiterates the state
ment of tile original communication
tlntl whatever may have been llie facts
concerning i lie Lusitania the principal
fact was that the great steamer was
prlmarih anil chilly a conveyance
for passengers anil at the little of the
submarine attack was carrying more
than ti thousand souls who had no part
or lot in 'tie conduct of the war but
was nevertheless torpedoed and sank
without so much as a challenge or
warning and that men, women and
children were sent to their death under
conditions unparalleled in modern
warfare, all of which is viewed by the
I'nlted Stales as against llie rights and
peace of neutral nations and the
I'nited States, therefore, very earnestly
and very solemnly, renews the repre
sentations of its first note transmitted
to tlie German government on May I V
and relies upon those representations'
and tlie principals of humanity and tin
universally roconnized international
law and tlie ancient friendship of the i
German nation.

BERLIN SPECULATING
ON AMERICAN QUESTION
BERLIN. June 1U.—"What will the
United States do?” and “What is the
significance of Mr. Bryan’s resigna
tion?” art> the questions heard on every
side following the advices received
last night as to the facts attending the
dispatch of the American repl\ to Ger
many. The general tone of the press
is that the German contentions arc en
tilely just and that the American na
tion will ultimately recognise them as
such.
The papers, generally, blame the
English influence for the present
American attitude. The resignation of
Mr. Bryan is the subject of much
speculation and is generally taken to
indicate that the reply to the German
government is not favorable. It is felt
in all quarters that Bryan's retirement
is the most unfavorable circumstance
yet developed against the maintain
ence of a proper understanding be
tween the two governments. That the
attitude if the United States is looked
upon as a matter of the greatest con
cern is indicated by the frequent re
ferences to the situation among all
classes of people and the speculation
as tn tlu; contents nf the American re
! ply is probably greater than is being
[displayed in the United States.
