WILSON'S DEMANDS READY (Continued From First Page.) ing of the Lusitania. but irrespective of the failure to advise the American Government of Germany's purpose. th point is made that notice of an inten tion to do an unlawful act neither Jus tified or legalized it. - 8.

In conclusion, Gernfany'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 obtain a compliance by Germany to the request made. EAST LIKES BORAH Both the heaviest and the lightest woodi prow in the United States, the former being Flnrida Iron wood and the latter the so called cork of Southwestern Missouri, Idaho Senator Is New England Choice, After Own Man. GEOGRAPHICAL BARS DOWN Pronounced Sentiment Favorable to AYcs-tcrn 'Republican Is Vound In Search' for Possibilities for Presidential Nomination. OR EGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 12. "New England, in case it cannot put over a, favorite son at the next National Republican conven tion, may surprise the rest of the coun try by' rallying in force to the stand ard of a statesman from the very Far West - Senator'Borah, of Idaho." This is the conclusion reached by Sumner Curtis. Washington correspon dent of the Chicago Record-Herald up to the time that paper ceased to exist and one of the most widely reputed political writers of the East. Mr. Cur tis reached this conclusion after several days' travel through New England, where he went to feel the political pulse and watch for political straws. Weeks Is Likely Possibility. ' Massachusetts, says Mr. Curtis, prob ably will put forward Senator Weeks, with fair prospect that he will have the support also of the other Jew Eng land states. -" But the Weeks supporters realize- that they must have strong outside support. Because of the count on that score. New England Republi cans are already looking about for a second choice, and that- choice seema to be benator Borah. "There has been a good deal of Hughes talk in this section." wrote Mr. Curtis from Boston. "But the au thorized statement from the Supreme Court justice putting him out of the running, so far as the justice's own words may be able to do it, has given a tremendous impetus to the Borah boom. - ' Added Vigor Is - Ex peeled. "The Boston Transcript, one of the leaders of Republican opinion through out New England," adds Mr. Curtis, "has been looking forward toward the Far West and Mr. Borah -for a solu tion of the problem as to how the Re publican party may re-establish its power at the seat of the National Gov ernment. A little later there may be emanations from politicians in other parts of New England that will give added vigor to the movement in ques tion." Mr. Curtis, during his New Lngland visit, was permitted to read confiden tial letters from men powerful politi cally in. that part of the country, indi cating their desire to get behind a lib eral progressive, "and activities," h says, "are being directed to show that Senator Borah is the man who fits the emergency. The movement is being promulgated on the theory that the day for geographical consideration as a main factor in nominating candidates for President is gone. Diggs-Caminetti Sentences Stayed.
