ADMINISTRATION TO
QUIT DEBATE POLICY
Germany Must Concede Points
or Relations Will
Be Severed.
YIELDING THOUGHT LIKELY
Washington Has Reports of Deci
mation of Submarine Fleet and
This May Bring Berlin -v
to Take Another View.
' BT JOHN CAL.LAN O LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON. April 10. (Special.)
That the Government of the United
States takes a most serious -view of the
recurrence of the "sink on sight"
methods of German submarines was re
vealed today by Secretary Lansing to
Count von Bernstorff. the German Am
bassador. The conference with the Secretary of
Ptate was sought by the Ambassador.
. While the latter declared he had no
Instructions from his government. It Is
known that his object in calling upon
Mr. Lansing was to ascertain the effect
of the German denial that a submarine
had sunk the Sussex and 1f that -denial
proved unacceptable to learn the pur
pose "of President Wilson.
"ote-Writing Staitc Pmmt.
It is declared with the most positive
nesa that there is no intention on the
part of the Administration to "debate"
the destruction without warning of the
Sussex ami other ships. The stag of
discussion and note-writing has passed.
What Mr. Lansing did today, from all
that can be learned, was to present to
the Ambassador the facts as reported
officially through American Ambassa
dors, Consular officers and Xaval at
taches. He also referred to the denial
which had been given by the German
government, but made it clear that In
uch a situation the United States
would be forced to rely on evidence
collected independently by its own of
ficials. This evidence, as Count von Bern
storff now knows, establishes that the
Sussex was torpedoed without warning.
There is only one way in which
severance of relations can be avoided,
according to the best Information ob
tainable here. That is that Germany
shall surrender once and for all the
exercise of practices which are in vio
lation of the principles of humanity and
international law.
Berlin Hay Make Conccsiiionif.
It is predicted that Germany will be
found prepared to make concessions.
Information has been received here that
the latest fleet of German submarines
has been decimated by British war
ships, just as the fleet in operation last
year was destroyed. It is asserted that
Germany will find it politic to make
concessions at this time in view of the
lack of sufficient number of under
sea craft to continue attacks upon mer
chant ships.
The difficulty lies in the character
of the concessions Germany will make
and whether or not they will prove ac
ceptable. The Administration realizes that the
situation of the German government is
extremely delicate. Information re
ceived shows that the general dissatis
faction which is felt over the progress
of the war almost precipitated a few
days ago the overthrow of the Minister
now in power. Included !n this dis
satisfaction was the failure of the gov
ernment to use the submarines in ac
cordance with the policy of Admiral
von Tirpitz.
Break Is Yet Possible.
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg
has been traveling over a rocky road,
and whether he will be able to sur
mount the obstacles he is encounter
ing is a question. It is apparent, how
ever, according to the information at
hand, that if a new government be
created in Germany it will be disposed
to pursue a sea policy which will cause
a break in relations with this Gov
ernment. What President Wilson wants is
friendship with all nations. Neces
sarily this involves respect for Ameri

It will be with the greatest reluctance
that the President will dismiss Count
von Bernstorff and recall Ambassador
Gerard. He will do so unless conces
sions are made, because he feels that
the United States cannot be played with
longer. The question has arisen as to
whether the United States; can place
any dependence in Germany's promises.
GERMAN REPLY FORTHCOMING
Note Flatly Denies Responsibility
for Sinking of Sussex.
BERLIN, via London. April lO.-i-Ttie
German note in response to inquiries of
the American Government regarding
the channel steamer Sussex and the
steamers Englishman, Manchester En
gineer, Eagle Point and Berwind Vale
will be transmitted to the American
embassy tonigh or Tuesday morning.
The note declares, as previously
cabled, that the reports of the com
manders of submarines which might
possibly have been involved in an at
tack on the Sussex make it absolutely
certain that the Sussex was not de
stroyed by a German torpedo.
Likewise, Germany denies responsi
bility for the sinking of the other
steamers, evidence having been adduced
at the investigation to show that no
blame attached to Germany.

JUROR SEES NEW LIGHT
INFLUENCE OF SCHtLTI CASE
CRITICISM IS OBVIOUS.
One Man Says He Will Stick tr Con
viction From Evidence for Year.
Liquor Verdict Displeases.
"I'll stick by my conviction from the
evidence produced if I stay here a
year."
This was the reply of a juryman to
Deputy District Attorney John Collier
yesterday morning, when, in selecting
the panel to try the case of Ainouke
Nakano, who is being tried for shoot
ing another Japanese, Mr. Collier asked
how much weight technical, irrelevant
considerations would have In the trial.
The influence of the Schultz case
upon the emphatic retort was obvious.
"If I'm not badly mistaken, that
juror is one of the four in the Schultz
trial who stood out for conviction at
first and later wavered," remarked a
court attache.
The jury's decision acquitting Schultz
was not a popular one about the Court
house yesterday and was the subject
of much interested comment. Apart
from the District Attorney's office,
which had a personal reason for feel
ing displeased at the verdict, the gen
eral sentiment was one of indignation
at the jury's action. In the course of a
day's general circulation about the
Courthouse, not a commendatory word
was heard for the Schultz jury.
BARNES SPURNS T. R.
(Continued From First Page.)
Roosevelt's temperament it is respect
for the rights for others. No man of
real self-respect does other than re
spect the rights of others. This is
Americanism in time of war or in time
of peace, in time of prosperity or in
time of want. It was Christ's version
of human development.
"In this aspiration American insti
tutions were conceived. In Mr. Roose
velt's code there is no place for this
great truth.
"It is not remarkable, therefore, that
simultaneously with the arrival of Mr.
Roosevelt in Massachusetts, where a
primary is about to be held, a state
ment should appear there that at a
recent Harvard dinner I stated my be
lief that there was a likelihood of Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination and that
would not contest against uch an out
come. This is a characteristic slamler
upon my knowledge of political condi
tions, as well as upon my character.
PoBHibllity of Success Questioned.
"Opinion is vigorous against this
nomination and there is no likelihood
of its success.
"Mr. Roosevelt is an enemy of the
American Republic and the most per
nicious Influence In this country upon
the public mind not even excepting
Mr. Bryan.
"The story was, for the purposes of
its author, well timed in order to at
tempt to obscure the action of the Re
publican state committee of New York
last Saturday, which passed unani
mously a resolution declaring its op
position to the nomination of Mr.
Roosevelt.

MORE TROOPS WILL
CROSS INTO MEXICO
Border Patrol to Be Drawn on
to Strengthen Pershing's
Communication Lines.
WITHDRAWAL NOT IN SIGHT
Carranza Authorities View Advance
of Americans With Anxiety, but
Have Made No Suggestion
of Dead Une.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Such a
marked improvement in conditions
along the Mexican border has been re
ported by General Funston that the
War Department is now considering
drawing upon some of the troops sta
tioned in Texas to strengthen the ever-
engthening lines of communication of
the expedition seeking Villa, Many
alarming rumors have been disposed of.
and the border situation generally is
said to be quieter than heretofore, but
he plan is not to disturb the garrisons
or patrol in' New Mexico or Arizona
for the present.
Army officials said tonight that from
now on Infantry would be used to rein
force the communication lines, the
cavalry being kept at the front for the
actual work of running down the out-
aws. A part of the Twenty-fourth
Infantry, negroes, withdrawn from Del
Rio, Tex., at the request of the local
authorities after one of the soldiers
had been killed by a ranger attempting
to arrest him, already has been ordered
nto Mexico.
Evidence continued to accumulate to
day to refute rumors of an impending
withdrawal of the American expedition.
Soon after it became known that addi
tional troops were to be sent across
the border, the War Department an
nounced the purchase of six large tank
motor trucks to replace similar ma
chines now rented to carry gasoline for
General Pershing's supply motors and
aeroplanes.
State Department dispatches indicate
that the Carranza authorities are view
ing with some anxiety the continued
presence of American troops in Mexico
and are inclined to believe that the ob
ject of the expedition has been accom
plished in the dispersal of Villa's main
command. It Is authoritatively said,
however, that there has been no sug
gestion from the de facto government
as to a "dead line," beyond which the
American troops should not go, or as
to a date on which they should be with
drawn. Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader in the Senate, made public to
night a letter from Senator Fall, who
has been on the border, reporting con
ditions to the minority Senators. Mr.
Fall analyzed the border guard, said
the raid on Columbus was made by a
wide gap in the patrol and declared
that he had been reliably informed that
unless the. American Army was given
full control of the Mexican Northwest
ern Railroad within a week from the
date of his letter, April 4, the expedi
tion would have to be withdrawn.
Officials pointed out today that to
morrow was the day fixed for with
drawal by the Senator's informant,
and that Secretary Lansing had formal
ly announced that the railroad ques
tion no longer was a factor in the sit
uation. A full report on the Columbus
raid has been ordered and will be made
as soon as Colonel Slocum. who com
manded the garrison, returns from
Mexico.
Navy Department dispatches re
ported conditions quiet at Vera Cruz,
Tampico and Puerto Mexico. xne
strike of oil laborers at Tampico was
reported settled with the arrest of two
strike leaders. The strike was called
because a Carranza decree required the
laborers to accept de facto currency
as wages.
Secretary Baker left v ashlngton to
night for Columbus, Ohio, where he
will appear in the State Supreme Court
tomorrow in connection with a civil
case. He will visit his family in
Cleveland later and will return here
late Wednesday. In his absence Major-
General Scott, chief of staff, will be
acting Secretary of W ar.

AMERICAN COMMISSION IS TO VISIT
FRANCE.
Movement for Reconstruction of In
duatry Has Co-operation of
Government at Parln.
NEW YORK, April 10. An American
Industrial commission, composed of rep
resentatives of the industries of the
United States concerned in French
trade, is being organized by the Ameri
can Manufacturers' Export Association,
it was announced today, and will visit
France during June and July, next, to
make an exhaustive and technical In

promised co-operation of the French
government-

been received that the project 'will have
the support of the chambers of com
merce and economical associationsy-of
France. "
In addition to manufacturers, the
commission's personnel will include

and importers. Special emphasis Is
placed by the promoters of the enter
prise on the desirability of increasing
the commercial relations between this
country and France, not only at pres
ent, but when the war ends.
Already plans of great magnitude are
being evolved in France, the announce
ment says, not only for rebuilding fac
tories destroyed by the war, but for
equipping, her existing industries with
the most modern machinery and put
ting them in condition to increase
their output, thus-to enable France to
meet the tremendous commercial com
petition which is expected to follow
the close of the war!
