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. The suggestion is conveyed that
the German government, of course,
could not have intended to destroy in
nocent lives, and that consequently the
German submarine commanders must
have misunderstood their instructions.
The American Government Indicates its
hope that this will be found to be
true, and a cessation of the unlawful
practices thereby will result.
Earnestness Is Asserted.
9. 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.

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.
