GERMAN REPLY CAUSE LIBERTY BELL TO RUSSIAN DYNAMITE
OE DISAPPOINTMENT
(Special to the Arg'iis)
Washington. Germany's reply to
the American note concerning tho
alukliiK of the Lusltanla produced u
feeluiK of profound disappointment
here. Dissatisfaction al the rallure
of Germany u answer the demands
of the United States was reflected III
government circles generally.
It was generally predicted that a
prompt answer would be sent to Ber
lin. This Is expected to give tho Amerl
can government's understanding of
the facts that the Lusltanla was un
armed and curiied no coticealcd guns;
that she tailed from the Tolled States
a peaceful merchantman uud that un
d i all rules of International law ami
humanity the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passou
gers transferred to a place of safety,
whether she carried ammunition or
not.
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by the
American uote and evasion of the re
quest that guarantees be given that
American vessels and lives be not eu
daiigered In the future are the main
points, however, to which the United
States government, It was generally
believed, would refer in the second
note.

government to relinquish to the slatas

Washington. An urgent warning to
American shipping agalust traversing
the naval xoue incautiously and to
have all neutral markliigs displayed
as conspicuously as possible, includ
lug illumination at night, was com
muiitcaluil to the state department by
the liermau government through the
American embassy at Berlin.
Berlin, via London. The German
reply to the Amorlcan note, sent after
tho sinking of the Lusltanla, waa de
Hveie.i to Ambassador Gerard Satur
day for trsn-.mii.siun to Washington.
Tha note expresses Germany's re
gret for Injuries sustained by Amort
cans as a result of submarine and aer
oplane attacks and offers compensa
tion In rases lu which Germany la
found to be In the wrong.
It defers a direct answer to the ques
tion raised by President Wilson pend
ing a furtfcf exchange of views. Oer
many desires to establish whether tho
Lusitaula was a defenseless merchant
ahlp or was being used for ths trans
portation of war munitions and sol
diers, on which unsuspecting passen
gers wire permitted to take passage
to safeguard the war materials.
The American representations re
garding the torpedoing of the British
steumer Falaba, la which an Ameri
can citizen lost his life, are answered
with the statement that It waa intend
ed to offer ample time for the passen
gers and crew to leave the ship, but
tin a. uou of the captain In attempting
to escape necessitated more summary
action.
Germany expresses regrets fer "the
unintentional attacks" on the Ameri
can steamer dishing and the Culf
light The dishing was attacked by
Gei man airmen lu the North Sea aud
tho Gulfllgbt was torpedoed off Scllly
Islands
Germany disavows any intention to
attack ion ml. .-.-. neutral craft. She of
fers to puy compensation wkerevei
she is found to be in the wrong and
to refer doubtful cases to The Hague
for a di . tslon.
The passages in the American note
concerning a possible disavowal by
Germany of lutenl to sink tho Lusl
tumu ami tile discontinuance of her
present practices ot submarine war
