SETTLEMENT NO NEARER
Critical Turn Given Contro
versy by Treatment of
. Lusitania Affair.
WASHINGTON, July 8. The United
States Government will not engage in
formally in a discussion or negotiation
with Germany regarding the charac
ter of the forthcoming reply to the
last American note on submarine war
fare. Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has
been informed that such is the Presi
dent's decision and that the Ambas
sador is to make no comment on the
tentative draft given him by the Ger
man Foreign Office. If asked for an
expression, he is to say that the
United States will await a formal re
ply before discussing the question
further.
Ambassador Advises Statement.
The German Ambassador, it is be
lieved, is urging his Government to
make a broad statement on the prin
ciples involved and reserve for later
discussion arrangements concerning
the separation of passenger and con
traband traffic.
For the United States, of its own
- initiative, to make concessions, it is
held, would imperil the entire fabric
of American rights with other bel
ligerents.
There were many evidences in of
ficial circles today that the German
controversy was again regarded as
critical and that the reply as outlined
was exceedingly disappointing. The
concessions alleged to have been made
were referred to as a slight departure
from the illegal position held by Ger
many and it was pointed out that the
United States, holding a strictly legal
position, was unable to make any
changes or surrender any point.
Contention Arouses Pessimist m.
Irrespective, however, of the sug
gestions made as to the future con
duct of German submarines as sug
gested in the preliminary draft of the
German reply, one of the chief causes
of the pessimism is the treatment to
be accorded the Lusitania tragedy.
Originally the United States pointed
out that the German submarine com
manders must have misapprehended
. their instructions and could not have
intended to, sink the vessel without
warning. The last German note in
reply contended that the vessel was
armed, was an auxiliary cruiser and
therefore could not be treated as a
peaceful merchantman.
After the United States submitted
official information that the Lusi
tania not only was unarmed, but did
not attempt to resist visit and search,
the German government, it is now
understood, has taken the position
there was no intentfon to sacrifice
non-combatants, the view of the Ger
man commander being that the ves
sel would be difficult and slow to
sink and that there would be ample
opportunity to remove passengers to
a place of safety.
Informal Conference Mentioned.
The United States said in its first
note that reparation would be sought
for the sacrifice of Americans on the
Lusitania, but Germany has denied
liability for the occurrence.
Officials here declined to explain
the mystery of the informal conference
between Ambassador Gerard and of
ficials of the German Foreign Office.
They indicated that the message from
the Ambassador, transmitting an out
line of the German note, did not say
specifically that he had been asked to
obtain the views of the American
Government. It appeared that he asked
if there were any instructions and did
so because the draft was placed in hia
hands in advance of its' completion.
' According to officials familiar with
diplomatic precedent, this was not un-

SAX FRANCISCO. July 8. (Special.)
Genius ia both admired and rewarded
in San FrancUco, and thereby hangs a
tale.
The Maharaja of Kapurthala and Her
Royal Highness the Maharanee of Ka
purthala, now visiting the city from
their province in India, are dancers of
such grace and vigor that they rank
with the best and that means genius.
While all genius basks in admiration
with as much delight as an Indian in
sunshine, there are limits in the mat
ter and manner of reward.
Both his and her Royal Hlghnevs of
Kapurthala today blushingly admit,
with becoming modesty, that they
reached the limit quickly last night
while they "ragged" in a San Francisco
cafe.
"Some bear cats, eh?" said one of the
lovers of the beautiful rag. nudging
his lady friend. I wonder where the
manager picked 'em up? Got to encour

Whereupon the encouragement came,
in nickels, dimes and an occasional
two-bit piece, from every side. The
royal couple made a hurried exit.

FRANCE GUARDS ITS GOLD
Export, Except Through Official
Channels, Proliibtcd.
PARIS. July 8. A decree has been
published' prohibiting the export of gold
except by the Bank of France. This is
a precautionary measure taken at the
suggestion of Minister of Finance Rl
bot. It has been found that exported
gold has not been destined always for
a neutral country in settlement of ac
counts. A free outflow might result in
a dangerous traffic, according to M.
Ribot.
The gold in the Bank of France has
this week been increased $2,730,000 as
the result of the government's appeal
that the gold supply of the country be
exchanged for bank notes.

night Is making a valiant effort to re
cover from probably the worst wind
and rain storm of Its history.
At 9:80 o'clock last night the storm
broke; one-half hour later the city and
its suburbs lay In almost total dark
ness, its telephone system paralyzed,
its streetcar service completely sus
pended and its citizens groping to as
certain the toll the storm had exacted.
Tin ittiBkMt "Iwk.
Two steamboats had gone down In
the Ohio River, one having hit a bridge
pier, while the other was overturned by
the terrific force of the gale: probably
a hu- dred houses were leveled to the
ground: a half-dozen lofty church
spires were toppled and when the full
extent cf the damage was ascertained
late today It was found that few houses
in the city have escaped damsg.
The streets of the downtown district
were strewn with electric light signs
and plate-glass windows, while In the
residence section and in the suburbs
w-gon and automobile traffic was
made impossible by hundreds of trees
uprooted and thrown across the thor
oughfares. Fifty Clabhoweea Sweat Away.
Probably 10 clubhouses along the
Ohio River were swept into the stream
and floated away.
Tonight finds the city's streetcar
service practically normal. The tele
phone service rapidly Is recovering
from the blow, while the city has done
almost miraculous work In cleaning up
the debris. But the search for bodies
In the collapsed houses continues and
the river Is being dragged and Its sur
face searched for the bodies of those
who are believed to have gone down
on the sunken steamers. Three more
bodies were recovered tonight from the
ruins of a dwelling on West Sixth
street.
The storm played many odd and pe
culiar tricks. Eleven persons, all re
lated, are believed to have been killed.
The family of Louis Cohen and that of
Meyer Tennebaum. closely relate, but
living blocks away from each other.
